Re: 60k service about to be done
AOS & Coolant tank for sure (if they've not already been done). Just did both last year on my 01 986S. Tank was already leaking under pressure, and figured AOS was only a matter of time.

I did them both myself: AOS was pretty simple provided you have the spring clamp removal tool extender. Coolant tank was a PITA despite studying lots of videos. Probably could do in 1/3 of the time now. Happy driving.

Curious what others recommend for 20 year old cars... water pump? coolant change?
