    It looks like PCM 2 so it will only work in MOST equipped cars (MY03 and newer Carrera's).

    You can also contribute by credit card - it uses the same PayPal interface but it does not require you to join PayPal. If you want to do that then just click on "Pay with Credit Card" (or "Don't have a PayPal account?") depending on your browser. I have sent you both PMs with more info. Thanks!

    See the attached list. You may need to replace any damaged nuts and or bolts from removing the old lower control arm. Everything will need to be properly torqued again. You will need an alignment and proper selection of shims (1 mm is standard) for the amount of negative camber you want. Also, watch your wheel widths as big tires may rub with enough negative camber. Expect very poor type life with anything more than -1 degree - this mod is really for track junkies. I think Porsche MotorSport has a few more shims for serious racers (at their serious racer prices). 997gt3_lower_control_arms.pdf

    The o-ring is on the gas cap. If your new gas cap did not have one you need to get one. On US cars the EPA requires that cars pass a fuel vapor leak test prior to operating. So each time your key is turned the EVAP system in your car tests the integrity of the fuel vapor system to make sure you are not leaking fuel vapor into the air. I don't remember what year this rule went into effect but it has been in all US cars for at least 5 or 10 years. If it turns out not be the gas cap (or it's o-ring seal) then you need to do a search here for further troubleshooting tips. Also, please remember once the problem is corrected, unless you turn the CEL off with a diagnostic tool it can take two or three days of driving (drive cycles as prescribed by the EPA) for it to go off by itself.

    996.561.787.00.01C Black Cap -- US List $17.63 I am sure the folks at Sunset imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can get you a better price.
  9. Loren
    A replacement will vary based on the options your car had (cruise control and OBC). Most of them run about $250 US List price (I'm sue the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can do better than that price). Changing one out is the same airbag, steering wheel removal process found in the OBC hack documentation. Might also be an easy time to upgrade to the OBC stalk while you are at it.

    1. C10 Switzerland (emissions for Switzerland) - so check to see if that is legal in your country. 2. No, those should be gen 2 PCCB - which are much better than gen 1. 3. I do not know about other countries - in the US most cars come with 2 primary keys and 1 valet key. I always suggest potential new owners look at all the service/repair records that previous owners and shop will let them look at. If you are getting it from a Porsche dealer then ask for a Porsche CPO.

    To get the (best guess) code for your CDR-210 we will need the serial number from your radio. You can get it electronically displayed through the front panel or pull the radio out and read it off the back.

    Turbos are the same as a standard TT - intercoolers are the same as GT2.
  13. Loren
    Try re-training the windows. Hold the button down until the window goes down all the way - hold in final position for 10 seconds. Then do the same for the up motion.
  14. Loren
    An X50 and GT2 share the shame muffler - that is the only exhaust difference from a standard TT. The manual transmission is also upgraded for X50.
  15. Loren
    My mistake it is RoW - you are right PET does not ID the kit as RoW but if you look at the individual part numbers they are RoW. It is for a Tip though.
  16. Loren
    No, an airbag light can only be turned off with the Durametric Software, a PST2 or a PIWIS tester.

    Unless you are using oil or there are signs of oil fouled plugs I wouldn't worry.
  19. Loren
    Sorry, I don't recall how many clips. If you have the IR sensor off then you should be able to just pull the defroster trim off.
  20. Loren
    Could have been spilled when adding oil after an oil change. If your oil level is normal I wouldn't worry about it.

    There are several TSBs from Porsche on noises (creaks, buzzing, rattles, etc. etc.). Most of the fixes are as simple as Teflon or felt tape.
  22. Loren
    Just don't ruin a rotor. Pads are a reasonable $320 per set. Rotors will run you $5400 EACH.
  23. Loren
    I think the lug nuts on the spacers are the same as most 70-90's model Porsches so those same (McGuard type) locks should work. But if you want to be sure just take a lug nut into a good accessories shop and see if they can match it.
  24. Loren
    Ride height and stiffness (RoW is lower and stiffer).

    Boxster S - US M030 with Tiptronic
