Re: Cleaning out dirt and leaves BEHIND rads and condensors on 987 vs 986 ??
I suspect the design is the exact same. Just a guess, but they seem to only make minor tweaks to this unconditional stuff.
I cleaned out my 2000S after about 195K miles, pics below. I don't remember the procedure, but I remember it to be pretty darn simple and I did not need instructions. You have to remove the front wheels, then the wheel liner and just start taking off screws. There are screws underneath and above the bumper cover came straight off.
The first pic is between the radiator and condenser.... it is hard to tell, but the condenser is swung down and away so the shot shows its edge. Not bad eh? Used simple green and it worked well. The stuff was kinda like cement... some chipped off and I gave up on some small deposits.
Peace
