    Look for a phone prep plug (similar to the 986/996) under the passenger seat or in the center console - depending on your options.
  2. Loren
    This is likely the switch in the door handle. Please do a search as this has been covered here several times.

    50 mm front and 45 mm rear for stock 18" wheels. 50 mm front and 63 mm rear are allowed if a 17 mm spacer is used (18" wheels).
  4. Loren
    You likely need a firmware update (done by your Porsche dealer).

    Sorry - $274.55 is the correct MSRP Price list should be fixed now.
  6. Loren
    Sept 2007 price came in a different format - let me try and fix it so the prices are correct again.
  7. Loren
    Please do a search - that has been covered many many times...

    Replacing the Coolant Reservoir on a MY99 996
  9. Loren
    Durametric can not do this at this time. Where in California are you located?
  10. Loren
    Look for a cracked tank or split hose (when it cools down).
  11. Loren
    Leaky caps or cracked tanks - sorry but that is 99% of the leaks.
  12. Loren
    Try 0147 or 0149

    Oil change

    Loren replied to gemsbnz's topic in 997 GT3, GT3 RS

    Lower center of the crankcase and bottom of the oil tank. If you are not sure where those are then find someone that knows - where are you located?

    Oil change

    Loren replied to gemsbnz's topic in 997 GT3, GT3 RS

    A 997 GT3 oil change is the same as the 996 GT3 oil change -- not the 996 Carrera. See the 996 GT3 Oil Change DIY here.

    The book says 320 time units - that would be just over 3 hours.

    I wonder what the difference between the radiator from the 3rd radiator(from the kit) and the tiptronic radiator is,is it strictly the plumbing? The only difference is the hoses and their routing.

    We just added the MY2008 Order Guide for the Turbo (Coupe and Cab). Thanks to Eric at Bumperplugs.com!
  19. Loren
    Not quite... There are 3 ways (that I know of that it can be plumbed). 1. As a normal Tiptronic cooler - in this case the hoses cool the Tip transmission. 2. As a normal GT3 where the hoses cool the GT3 manual transmission. 3. The mod way (as above) - where it adds additional cooling capacity for the engine. If you put a bumper on with upper vents (like a GT3 Cup car bumper or GT2 bumper) then the radiator get tilted the other direction and the ducts need to change too.

    Go back to the stock filter for your testing and I would try CRC Sensor cleaner. MAF's are too expensive to not try and salvage one.

    P1124 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1126 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold This means that the DME is seeing too lean a fuel condition and that it can not make the mixture rich enough to compensate for it. P0445 EVAP Canister Purge Valve - Short to B+/Short to Ground These can be caused by an air leak (or an MAF that is giving false readings to the DME). If you only had the P1124 and P1126 I would say clean and/or replace your MAF - but since you also have a P0455 I would look for other intake air leaks in your engine compartment.

    Pads go to hazardous waste disposal (same location as oil, brake fluid, paint, etc.). Rotors go to metal recycling. At least that is how they do it where I live (near Sacramento).
  23. Loren
    This is only a guess... but I would guess that a previous owner had an after market radio put in. Then we he sold the car he took the 3rd party radio out and hastily put the original radio back in not taping the wires or checking for hazards. That would be my guess - because I do not understand why any "normal" Porsche part would not have just blown a fuse or at worst taken out just one component.
  24. Loren
    Check the Maintenance Checklists.

    If this is a track car use the GT3 Cup Car switches.
