bolts are aluminum

 

 

From Porsche Field Service Manual - Panamera 2010-2013.
See pic, doubting Thomas...lol

 

I don't doubt you, I would just like to get my hands on that manual

Did you notice the nuts are backward in the picture :P

So I am assuming you got it fro PIWIS, is 1 hour enough to get and the information one needs and can you download all the pics and procedures?

Thanks in advance

 

I'm having trouble sourcing the alum bolts/screws that youre not supposed to reuse.

 

 

Here is the info you need IMO,

 

Question: Should spark gap change when a tune is added? Added an FVD tune and curious to see if the gap should change,

 

Generally, one decreases spark gap with large increases in boost. Check out the Kia Stinger forum for comments on increased boost/decreased gap.

 

im running oem gap on FVD tune car runs strong, a lot of the 991 and 997 guy will run a smaller gap with one step colder plugs. I would ask FVD tuners

 

FVD tuners agree, stock OEM gap. thank you sir!

 

Excellent write-up. Was able to tackle this yesterday. Interest that all 8 of my coil packs had the same exact crack on them (picture below). Also, does anybody have the part number for the T30 security torx holding the sensor to the engine behind the #8 plug? When I got in there I realized it was missing (I'm guessing whomever changed the spark plugs last dropped it down in the engine bay and was too lazy to go get it). Would like to put that back on.

 

Don't buy any specialty security torx.
you can get them at home depot, harbor freight, ebay, amazon. Don't remember the number, probably T30 or T25.
I think I spent 4 bucks on mine.

 

Kind of late to catch this but if it's screwed into Mg like I worry it is you should be using Al bolts, to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Did anyone catch that the 8 coil pack bolts are one time use?

Nm wise:
coil pack bolts:. 4 Nm + 90 degrees. Instructions note make sure the threads are CLEAN!
​​​​​​Plugs: gap still good reuse 25 Nm, new 30 Nm.

Design cover to coil pack bolts:. 4.4 Nm

I left the engine covers off and was able to pull all the coil packs out without removing that torque strut, happily. +180 degrees is a significant amount of torque...
