Pulled into a driveway with the lift up and the rear "tapped" the ground... One of the solenoids is barely scratched but is obviously not functioning properly.

I've done this in the past which resulted in a huge dent in the solenoid, but this thing has barely been touched!

I know this is not an easy repair.... Any suggestions?

 

I replaced one myself and it was not difficult at all. Just pick up a replacement at the dealer and change it out yourself. There are some very tiny spring clips that you need to keep track of.

 

Cool, thanks... for some reason I thought this was not an easy fix... do you happen to have a part number on them?

 

Sorry, I have checked all my receipts and do not find one for the tiny spring clips. My PET Porsche parts katalog does not show the clips. Perhaps the dealer might have a more detailed parts listing, and you could pick them up when you get the replacement solenoid. Or, you could just make sure and not lose them.

 

not to worry, I have mine disconnected anyway. just put to full open all the time for better sound and plug the vacuum lines and ty off.
