Still beavering away Wasz. Good progress.
Great minds think alike.
I almost left my old one in and added a power flex one, but I figured why prop up an old worn one with something else when I can buy a new standard one.
It has just been fitted this week for my box finally going back in.
One question -
Is that tensioner on the right ok?
It looks like it isn't fully extended. I'm only asking as when my indy pulled mine out he found this (one on the right) -
Spring must have snapped inside or something as it's not extended fully.
That's the replacement one on the left.
Apparently the new ones from Porsche have been revised and only work with the revised ramps/pads which you can only access during a rebuild. Luckily for me my indy had a good used one in his spares so he's stuck that in.
Anyway, I could be totally wrong. I'm not sure if they are different lengths anyway, but just thought I'd mention it before you put it all back together.
Also for the record, my car didn't have much in the way of rattles or anything. It did rattle for a split second on a cold start, if it had sat a few weeks but loads of cars do that. It ran perfectly with no noises other than that though. Glad my indy found it anyway.
