Been busy over the last couple of weekends, sorting winter jobs on the 964.
First up was to sort the hunting idle that has appeared while the car has been off the road during winter. The idle drops have resulted in second gear stalls and a flat power curve.
First up easy job is to replace the DME fuse. Next up was to clean the ISV.
Following the link below I stripped, cleaned and re-fitted. Engine sound deadening pad was tidied up too.


Idle was better but not great. Next drop was to pull it back out and strip, clean and re-fit the AFM!

It's still not perfect, but I'll give it a good run before trying some other ideas, including ordering the famous Steve Wong Chip. More power and a steady idle!
Next up was to replace my knackered engine mounts. The price of new 964 mounts from porsche is a fortune, so I considered RS mounts, 964 mounts or aftermarket.
WEVO mounts from the USA won in the end. I went with wevo "blacks" to keep vibration to a minimum:
Under tray had to be removed first for access. This was cleaned before being refitted.



Old mounts were knackered!

Wevos installed:



Next job was to fit new bonnet shockers / struts, as these failed last weekend and the bonnet twatted me on the head! Right pain in the arse this job! Far too fiddly to get access to fit them. Didn't take any photos, as too busy swearing at the car. The rennlist how-to's don't even help much for this job!
Few more small jobs...
The black reR wipe bung I had fitted didn't look neat enough. I'm going to fit an RS rear screen when time / cash allows. In the mean-time I've tried a few universal clear ones. A one from Venom Motorsport was bought, then sent back. In the end an eBay item ordered. Here's it dry fitted, before I took the protective film off.

More jobs:
I've got a battery drain, so as a temporary fix I removed the bulbs from bonnet, glovebox and engine compartment.
I re-dyed my front seats at the end of last year. There was a couple of imperfections, so I smoothed them out with some 3000 grit paper.
Last job was a well deserved pie and beer!
