Aos change out

[Frodo]

Another good DIY:

Replace the Air/Oil Separator Porsche DIY

I say "good" because in my experience that word describes Pedro's write-ups. I've not actually used this one---got lazy (and busy) this fall and paid an indie to do it for me.

One of the hardest part to remove is the clamp on the flexible hose. Most that gave done it have been frustrated by it. This is what I did and made the job much easier.
Take a look at the new AOS. It usually comes with a new flex hose. I've done two if these and both times it came with a new flex hose. Go u dear the car with a sharp knife and cut the flex hose but be careful not to cut anything else. When re-installing I used standard clamps that you can use a socket to loosen or tighten.

You will save a lot of time doing it this way.

Thanks everyone who responded. Looks like I will give it a try tomorrow.

Flouese,

Just take your time and be patient, my first time I struggled somehow, but the second time (using the clamp pliers) it went much quicker, it helps to remove the throttle body along with the air hose to get more room.

Just ensure that the bottom hose it's fully seated into the block before releasing the clamp.

Good luck!

Armed and ready to go. Have my clamp pliers and a desire to get her back on the road.
