    A new belt for a MY99 is about $144 retail. Check the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for a much better price.

    No, completely different engine.

    We think 236 is 18" tires. Cxx is usually a country code (for emissions, etc.). What country are you in?
  4. Loren
    Model and model year of your car please?

    ... and any filter that allows "more air in" is likely letting in more particulate matter than can also damage the MAF. I think it is curious that the manufacturer says these filters have a MSRP of $127 and the guy on eBay is selling them for $12.

    A leaking oil pan is pretty unusual - unless it has been hit and cracked. I would clean all the oil off - drive few miles and then look again to see where it is coming from.

    Go back to the stock intake and see if the problem goes away.

    The link is posted at the top of every forum and is labeled Announcement: How to become a Contributing Member. I guess some folks just pan over the announcements... :rolleyes:

    Ignorant question, how do I see the actual TSB? I would like to review TSB 1701 (996 recommended oils), but I cannot find the actual TSB anywhere. I can find the TSB listed, but there are no links to take me to it. Help! =) Only Contributing Members can view TSBs. To see the many benefits of becoming a Contributing Member have a look here.

    We have added and/or updated TSBs in the following categories (14 total): Boxster (987) - 4 Carrera (997) - 2 997 TT - 1 997 GT2 - 1 997 GT3 - 1 Cayenne - 1 Cayenne (Gen 2 as of MY08) - 1 Cayman (987) - 2 Literature - 1

    The radiators on the 996 have never changed. Early (or late) 996's have never had any cooling problems. The C4S has larger radiators (they are 996 TT radiators) but that is because of C4S/TT bumper design.

    Sorry, but if you do not know how to trace down electrical shorts then you should find a shop that does.

    A3 is the right front side marker light Looks for shorts there.
  16. Loren
    That should work but realize the visor only has power when it is forward in it's locked position.
  17. Loren
    A3 is the right front side marker light (7.5 A).

    If you missed these in the 70's (or weren't born yet ;) ) - here is your chance to add a piece of history to your car. Porsche is offering once again customized (by model) body side decals. They are available (in various colors) for: 987 Boxster 987 Boxster S 997 Carrera 997 Carrera S 997 Carrera 4S 997 Targa 4 997 Targa 4S 997 Turbo 997 GT2 997 GT3 997 GT3 RS Gen 1 & Gen 2 Cayenne Gen 1 & Gen 2 Cayenne S Gen 1 & Gen 2 Cayenne Turbo Gen 1 & Gen 2 Cayenne Turbo S 987 Cayman 987 Cayman S Porsche Retail Price is $292.82 (per set) -- but I'm sure the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can do much better than that. Instructions for installation as well as part numbers are in the TSB section for our Contributing Members.

    TSBs are Technical Service Bulletins. We have a subscription with Porsche and get the same TSBs your dealership gets. You will find a listing of the TSB for your model car here. You can always get there through he Quick Menu at the top center of the page. Contributing Members can view the TSBs (all of them). To learn how to become a Contributing Member click here.

    Your dealer needs to read the following two TSBs: 8/05 6440 Whistling Noise From Door Window Area -- dated Jul 1, 2005 8/04 5730 Wind Noise In The Upper Area Of The Front Door Window -- dated Oct 11, 2004

    Any tech on how one can find the VIN codes for an older car? I think it would be helpful if you said what year or range of years...
  22. Loren
    Scouser has updated his excellent VIN Decoder. The VIN Decoder is here. Many thanks to Scouser for his continued efforts, work, and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:
  23. Loren
    6 speed or Tiptronic? I agree with Izzy - first step is to see if there are fault codes. Most auto parts stores or shops will do this for free. If there are no codes then I would start by cleaning the Idle Control Valve ands the throttle butterfly. Many times these are just gummed up with carbon and a good cleaning solves the problem.
  24. Loren
    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit Yes, the Durametirc software will show you more. More importantly it will show if you have other codes. Right now if P0430 is your only code then you have a bad catalytic converter (on that side). If you read it with the Durametric software and it also show you an aging fault for the O2 sensor on that side then it may just be a worn out sensor.
  25. Loren
    Can you tell us if it is a C2 or C4? The MY99 C2 has an idle control valve and the C4 is egas so it has a different throttle body (and no idle valve).
