Does anyone have a list of must have tools to work on a 996TT? It seems everything is Torx. At Sears, the standard torx kits just come in T20,35,30,35 etc... are there other sizes that are needed? Anything else that you could recommend for your standard oil changes, clutch accum, slave, etc...?

TIA

 

Here is a list of the tools I most often use:

Porsche oil filter tool
10, 13, 15, 17, 19 MM socket with several extensions and drive sizes
10, 13, 15, 17, 19 and a few in the low 20's MM wrench's
Monkey wrench
3/8 drive torque wrench
15, 20, 25 torx screwdrivers
Tamper proof torx bits set
Star socket set
Regular and philips screwdrivers
Allen wrench set
Low profile floor jack and jack stands
Rubber Malet(persuader)
40 wt. bearings

Good luck and have fun.

The first and most important tool is a durametric code reader....

 

Awww, come on guys, it's all ball bearings these days. It's so simple. Maybe you need a refresher course. - Fletch

 

from where can we buy this ?

 

Thanks for the help. I was already looking at the Durametric. Here is where you can purchase it:

Torque wrench.

 

how does this compare to the autoenginuity one?

i have the autoenginuity one but never tried the durametic one

 

Are these tools actually worth buying ?

 

If you plan on modding for sure you need a good diagnostic tool. The Durametric is the closest to PST2 or PIWIS on the market. It can read Porsche codes, data log and clear most all codes (including airbag codes).

 

only if you hate CEL lights and want to read/clear them yourself without paying the dealer to do it

 

the best !
