    Use the release on the side of the radio to release the keys. The keys are not needed to put the radio back in.

    Have you checked the brake booster for water? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=79485

    C2 and C4 transmission removal shows the same in the Porsche Labor Book - 3.7 hours. While they are there they should check the RMS and IMS for leaks. On a MY99 they should check that you have the later version release lever and replace if needed. They should do the factory torque test on the DMF - but it should be okay if it was not damaged or abused. Unless you track the car heavily I recommend sticking with the Porsche standard disc and pressure plate.

    Well, if you too the cam covers off then you likely lost the cam timing (when the camshafts came loose). Might be worth a minimal core charge to an engine rebuilder - unless their is serious internal damage.
  5. Loren
    Best check the pressure accumulator.
  6. Loren
    Based on the engine mount that is still on the engine - it looks like the engine is from a Boxster. If I were to guess - I would guess 2.5 liter from the pics.

    1. Yes, 44 psi is the factory recommended for 18 inch tires. Chassis stiffness - Porsche stiffened the chassis starting in MY02. 2. Then they are a knock off of BBS. There are a number of similar wheels by Fiske, HRE and I am sure many more. 3. Good luck with the dealer.
  8. Loren
    Wide body shocks vs. narrow body car, travel differences - plus weight differences. I doubt they would work very well.
  9. Loren
    I would look for a leaking water pump. It would make sense to open the front engine plate and check the polrib belt and the pulleys too.
  10. Loren
    :welcome: 1. Porsche recommends 44 psi the rear tires - but they do not recommend anything over a 285/30 x 18 for MY99 and older cars. 2. Looks like BBS LM to me. 3. Write down your VIN and call your local dealer and ask them to look the VIN up in their database. Hopefully, there will be a record there.
  11. Loren
    No VarioCam fault codes? That would be unusual - but I won't say impossible. The key is if the actuator is replaced - and if the problem persists. For your sake I hope it does fix it.
  12. Loren
    :welcome: Yes, but you may need to transfer the tailpipe tips - I am not sure if the C4S tips will line up properly on narrow body cars rear bumper cutouts.
  13. Loren
    Yes, left side on most cars is drivers side - but we do have folks from the UK, Australia and Japan here too. Check the connections at the seat belts are plugged in at the B-pillar and check the connections under the seat including the large bundle of wires that are tied to the chassis ground. You are looking for corrosion or signs that things got wet there.
  14. Loren
    Depending on the color the correct seat belts for an RoW MY02 and newer car should start with 996.803.981.04 (left side) or 996.803.982.06 (right side). In the US they were required in MY02 but I am not sure if Porsche put them in all countries cars. Have you checked to see if they are plugged in? Also, you might check the ground connections under the left front seat (remove the key from the ignition or the air bag light will come on).

    Squeaking Sound

    Loren replied to smaderazo's topic in 996 GT3

    GT3 Check for loose or badly worn sway bar bushings. In a few cases the problem has been worn drop links. C4 You need to find out if it is a sway bar busing or drop link OR a loose upper strut mount/bearing. The latter is fairly common on the early C2 and C4. See TSB 1/99 4085 Noises From Front Springs/Struts -- dated 9-10-99.
  16. Loren
    13806 is the Bosch number (I think). Are you sure they are properly plugged in? Because it is acting like they are not connected.

    Hi - I lost my manuals and radio card (wisely stored in house, which burned down) in the October San Diego wildfires (Saved the boxster, though!). Forgot this when I recently disconnected battery. Now I can't reactivate radio. Boxster 2002 CR-220 Type 4462 Serial: 15005427 "24/99" VIN#WP0CA29862U622175 Thanks alot for any help. Try 7306 or 7304 Loren - Thanks, but neither of those worked (unless there's a trick to entering them that I forgot). Any other possibilities? Thanks again Dave Diamond Read THIS THREAD for other ideas and/or solutions...
  18. Loren
    Try 9960 or 9958

    That is what is strange those are not buckle codes (there is a TSB for buckles and ground connections). Buckle codes are 44 through 50. I wonder if someone put old (prior to MY02) seat belts on the car without the pyrotech devices? that is very strange... Where do you live?
  21. Loren
    Correct - option 220 is LSD (Limited Slip Differential).
  22. Loren
    Fault 23 Driver's seat belt tensioner Fault memory/warning light Fault 25 Passenger's seat belt tensioner Fault memory/warning light Fault 27 Ignition circuit, passenger Fault memory/warning light Did you change the seat belts or remove the seats?
  23. Loren
    Both are standard US suspension (not M030).
