2001 996 C2 CSR

Thanks for the YouTube link. Looks proper fiddly, but gotta be worth a go. Shame I think I binned the duff unit from the first time this happened to me, as I could have fixed that one without potentially leaving the car off the road. Ah well!

I've found chassis number CSR001. It's a Boxster. And the guy says he also owns CSR002 which is a 997.

Thats a cool thing. Bloody cheap too...if a bit leggy.

A few cosmetic changes would drag it out of the past too...

Putting these here to Shame myself into action. Car has been like this now for months. And its partner too.

So I've given up trying to bleed the clutch.

I did manage to fit this new little bracket which holds clutch pipe to top of diff cover.

I don't like giving up. So will have another bash today.

The problem I'm having is the easy bleed kit isn't sealing well with the fluid reservoir on the master cylinder.

First it.was just too tall. I fixed this by adding another rubber seal type washer inside.

Now their cap only tightens so far before the thread clicks and goes loose. So I think its jumping the thread.

My plan today is to bolster the thread with some form of tape. Just to get the threads to grip better and not jump.

Failing that I think the kit provides a clamp to clamp their cap onto the reservoir.

So I have a couple of tricks to try. Otherwise it's a trailer away job to the professionals.
