Porsche 911 - Video tutorial

Model: Porsche 911 996 - Years 1997-2005
Part: Engine
Operation: Inspection of a dual mass flywheel

This video examines the dual mass flywheel of the Porsche 911 (which is the same as that of the Porsche 996). After having illustrated general rules about the precautions to be taken when working on these parts (ventilated work environment, use protective goggles and tools, work with the right light), the DMF inspection begins. The yellow arrow indicates the point of the flywheel that must be observed to check its state of wear if you want to replace it. Subsequently, the guide explains how, when analyzing the flywheel, it is necessary to check the integrity of the springs of its first section. The test that allows this control is carried out by rotating the flywheel to the right and to the left: it must move in both directions by a maximum of 15 mm. To check this range also in the second section of the flywheel, just make a mark with a felt-tip pen, in correspondence with the screw, rotate it as previously explained, and then make a new mark. The obtained measurement must still be in the range of 15 mm. The operation must be repeated for both directions of direction.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
