AOS was purchased on Amazon. Just do a quick search. I also recommend purchasing the 'L' shaped rubber tube that goes on the bottom of the AOS. You're down there anyways and its one less thing to worry about later.

Are you saying that if there IS vacuum on the oil cap the AOS has failed or if the AOS is functioning correctly there should be vacuum on the oil cap?
Great question. In my research at that time, if there is a strong vacuum on the oil cap when engine is at idle, it could be a sign the AOS is failing. If you don’t have a manometer on hand, it’s something you can check. Combined with clouds of smoke, oil light, and/or a ticking type sound. Checking the vacuum at idle on the oil cap is just one possible indicator.
Norcal: thanks for the excellent video. Question about the T section plenum. How do you remove it? I loosened all 4 hose clamps, but it still won't budge. Please help.
Ray Just got your comment. For some reason we did not get a notification. I apologize. We have not taken off the plenum. So, I don’t have an answer for you. You might DM @dwraysgarage , @bakers_garage77 , or @flat6.jay on Instagram. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video and knowledge share.
Did it resolve the CEL?
Justin Froehlich No problem! Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I had a bad O2 sensor that I needed to replace.
norcal987 was the o2 sensor pre cat or post cat? What Cel code was it?
it"s easier to remove the bottom hose the other side,then remove the AOS, because the two bottom of the AOS return pipe is the same angle, and the ring you cracked just use to open the two locks, don't need to fix it ,it still can lock up.
For sure! It still does lock up fine. I’ve had no issues. Great informative information! Thank you for your comment and added info! Every little of bit of tricks and tips from everyone makes life easier for the next person!
just did one yesterday, before I start I know they only have the new AOS, no hoses at all, so I need to very careful to remove all three hoses, and hopefully all the hoses still soft and this my first time. 😅
@@alanw5812 Awesome!
How was your engine running prior to this?
I just checked the air intake (same as you did @3:50 in the video) and I also have oil...does this mean my Air Oil Separator is bad and needs replacing?
It was actually running pretty good. I’ve heard mixed reviews about oil lining the intake. Some say it’s normal, some say it’s signs the AOS is gong out. Here’s my two cents; if you have a ton of smoke coming out your tail pipe on start up (it’s normal to have some on high mileage engines) AND it stays that way as you’re driving down the road for a few miles, I would replace it. It’s pretty cheap and easy. Got mine on Amazon for $110. Hope this helps! Thank you for the comment🤟🏻🔥
after replacement did you look into your park plugs for oil recalculation ?
Midnight Legends No, I didn’t check the spark plugs at that time. But, about a thousand miles later I did replace them and they were pretty shot. Quite a bit of deposits, but no strong sign of oil deposits.
@@norcal9874 Hello, thanks for this video. So the bad AOS isnt too bad on the spark plugs? My car eats oil and has oil in the aos hoses. Sparkplugs were changed last year, so im asking if i sould change them right after the aso or if it has time.Thanks
@@TheBestWanted112 i would recommend changing the spark plugs after doing the AOS. it’s cheap and will help any troubleshooting you are doing. thank you for the sub and comment! we appreciate it!!!
How cool would it be if you bought an aftermarket glass engine cover
The thought has crossed our mind more than once😂🤘🏻🔥
Did you have to jack up the car And remove the wheel?
512 TXS Nope! Was able to do it all on all 4’s. 🤘🏻🔥 Thank you for the question/comment!
Was it just white smoke on start up or smoke all the time?
512 TXS A lot of smoke at startup and at normal idle. Leaving the neighborhood would leave a trail of this smoke in the air.
norcal987 got it. Thank you sir.
What year Cayman S is this? Was the AOS the problem?
Jones Kendrick 2007
@@norcal9874 Did new AOS fix the issues?
Yes. Helped tremendously. The bladder in the AOS was torn.
was the catch pan needed?
Sandy Wong Actually no oil came out so it wasn’t needed. But, whenever I work with anything where oil has the possibility of hitting the garage floor, I use one. 😂🤘🏻🔥
Was your code the o2 sensor stuck rich ?
No, didn’t have issues with the O2 sensor.
How much was it all?
I got the new AOS on Amazon for $85. 🤘🏻🔥
Wait is this the wizard??????????? Is your dad the car wizard?
What sockets are the 2 bolts?
Sandy Wong They are 5mm. Thank you for watching and the comment! 🤘🏻🔥
norcal987 5mm seems to be too small I’m trying it right now
Sandy Wong it should be a 5mm hex socket
norcal987 it isn’t an e socket of some sort? I really don’t think it’s a 5mm
