My Motor Mount after 26,000 miles

[rick3000]

Chuck, thank you for the very kind Uview offer, unfortunately no longer in the LA area (for now). Although, I do have the Uview on my wishlist. After my latest repair, and getting my car back with 3 new tiny dents, I decided it's cheaper to buy the tools to DIY, than to continue to pay someone else, plus dent/scratch repair. And I can keep the tools for the rest of my life.

Thanks for the tip on removing the motor mount and thermostat to get more clearance for the water pump, I had not read that anywhere. I am using Porsche OEM coolant, because that is what is in there, and I do not want any possibility of jelling (gelling?).

Also found this guide to completely flush the coolant system with an air compressor Link

I also used the Porsche coolant. I ordered everything at one time from Sunset Porsche. The coolant was $27.99 per 3 liter (.79 gallon) bottle. You'll need three 3 liter bottles. The only thing I missed was an aluminum crush washer for the coolant plug (900-123-144-30).

Makes you wonder what else is might be going out?! I'm like you about "while I am in there". I'm adding a third radiator to mine and bought all new coolant hoses for the front half of the car.
