Remove throttle body and rear plenum and it will give you space to lift the 3rd AC bolt up so you can slide the compressor out. Just did that when replacing my PS hose. Personally I found disconnecting the hose from the upper connection, and reconnecting it, to be more of a problem.
Next time just use marvel mystery oil in your gas tank and you could of probably avoided all of this. Twice amonth or at leat every oil change is good.
Great Video Van, Did the ticking noise start after the engineĀ warm up?Ā I am going though the same thing with my 996.Ā Ā The ticking noise sound of my car coming from the same area at theĀ rear backĀ passenger side as your car but it only happen after the engine is warm.
Apparently this is common on 996/997 models. They get scoring on cylinder 5 and 6 because of how the oil jets are positioned and crappy thermostat position. You may need an engine rebuild unfortunately :(. If you're doing an engine rebuild, make sure you get a lower temperature thermostat.

Hello! Did you ever get the engine sorted?
Thinking about buying a 996T low miles ..any tips or hints what to look for mechanically etc.
looks like a pain in the butt to work on these cars, is no wonder the dealership charges an arm and a leg.
