  1. 996.613.535.00 is the correct part number. I have found parts with Mercedes logs, BMW logo, and VW logos... and I think the climate control has an Audi logo. Now we know why Porsche is profitable. :lol:
  2. Not unless you are really really thin. Most folks find it easiest to remove the rear wheels to remove the mufflers. That way when you remove the 3 bolts on the hanger bracket (and the sleeve on the cats) the muffler just rotates down and out.
  3. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I never thought of that - good one Chuck!
  4. I just back the rear tires up on 2 set of 2 x10 boards (so roughly 4 inches) and that is enough room and still keeps the car pretty level. If you wanted absolute level then put 2 sets of 2 x 10's under the front tires too.
  5. I don't think that would hurt but Porsche does not specify that.
  6. Take it to a body shop the works on Porsches. They can tell you. Prices will vary so get 2 or 3 quotes.
  7. Correct. cat = catalytic converter , also know as TWC Three Way Catalytic converter.
  8. You have removed one variable of many - so far so good. My advice still to get a CarFax, ask for any service records, get a PPI. BTW... Where are you located and where is the car located?
  9. Have you tried clicking on the "Quick Menu" at the top of the page? There are many special features available there including a TSB listing. Regular Members see only a dated list of TSBs but Contributing Members can view a PDF of any TSB. Other benefits of becoming a Contributing Member can be found at How to become a Contributing Member.
  10. The car looks great - congratulations. Now that I see the car is new... Has the dealer run the Porsche PIWIS handover program? This is required for the car to configure country setting and the like.
  11. Here is the list for the RoW set. It would surprise me that the individual parts are cheaper. Have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer cost) pricing?
  12. Porsche art numbers (for suspension parts) are 11 numbers - several of your numbers have more - so I can't look them up. What are you trying to accomplish?
  13. Maybe - the outside mirror function is now in the door electronics control unit.
  14. Door rattle (and other interior rattles) have fixes in the TSB section. Since you are a Contributing Memeber you can read any of those TSBs. Rattles in the engine compartment are usually a heat shield or a muffler with a broken weld -- very rarely a cat. A thump when going over a bump is likely a loose rear swaybar.
  15. :welcome: If you have a US car then item 1 and 2 are the same. You can buy the parts individually or in a kit. You could also go with a coilover kit and set your own ride height. If you go that route I would suggest using the GT3 swaybars.
  16. Not at this time. If it were out in distribution we would have it.
  17. There is a cleaning and re-oil kit available from several companies. I suggest that you oil it lightly and then wrap it in newspaper overnight to absorb the excess oil. It might save you cleaning your MAF.
  18. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...&hl=AVIC-Z1
  19. Most dealers also write the anti-theft socket number in the Owners Manual so check there also for the code.
  20. The wheel bolts are a standard 19 mm. Use a deep socket with electrical wrapped around it to avoid scratching the wheel. If he has a torque wrench the wheel bolts should be torqued to 96 ft/lbs.
