HI,

I'm looking at a 96 993 at an independent dealership. I'm not sure if the contents of the toolkit are complete. Can comeone tell me what should be in it

Thanks

I thought mine was complete but it was missing the most important, or at least hard-to-find part - the tool for the fan belts.

Where did you find the tool?

STLPCA

The Porsche 12 point tool (part # 999.571.052.02) is NOT included with the supplied tool kit. It can be ordered from any Porsche dealer.

I got a triple square bit at Snap-On that works in conjunction with the 11mm wrench in the tool kit.

I was told it is no longer available as an individual part, which is why I went the Snap-On route, I hope I'm wrong.

I just ordered a 12 point from Sunset in Oregon, $19.68 + shipping, no tax in Oregon! It was the last one in stock. Will they get more? Who knows....I always thought the tool was missing from my tool kit...and on Rennlist I find out it was never there in thre first place. Whewww, that is one less nagging little item recirculating in RAM memory...now I can let that go. This here Rennlist...very similar to therapy.

Hi guys,

Good information on the fan belt tool - what else should be in the kit ? My 928GT has about 5 wrenches, a spark plug socket, screwdrivers, towing hook, air pump, jack - don't remember what else.

I would recommend the Snap-on tri-square bit over the factory tool, particularly on a turbo. My belts obviously hadn't been changed in a while and I bent two wrenches using the snap-on bit with a combination wrench and a piece of pipe as an extension before i could free up the nut on the end of the alternator shaft. I would never have got enough leverage with the Porsche tool and having it alone in the tool bag gives a false sense of security.

On a turbo there isn't enough room to use the factory tool.

And the factory wrenches in the kit are cr*p, made from very cheap metal. Get something decent. The link above is a very good list of what you should carry.
