    Or you could just check the Maintenance Schedules here.

    Here are the parts you will need - more or less depending on if you have a Tiptronic or X51 (which would add the third radiator ducting).

    On an egas car that is normal. The DME will adjust it depending on temperature, air flow, etc. , etc..

    The distributor drive belt DIY can be found at Robin's site here.

    You need to get the fault codes read. Many parts stores will do this for free. Many times there will be more than one fault code -- report back here with all the fault codes.

    Oil change

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

    :welcome: It is located at the location as the 996 GT3. See the DIY here.

    From the Service Manual (alignment specs). If your paper from the dealer does meet these - then they are wrong. Danger of injury and damage to property due to malfunctions in the PSM control range if the steering angle sensor is not calibrated or is calibrated incorrectly! - Calibrate steering angle sensor with wheels in straight−ahead position with the Porsche System Tester 2! - The steering angle sensor actual value must be checked after a suspension alignment where no changes were made to the wheel alignment values! Note: - The following values relate to the empty weight, i.e., full fuel tank, vehicle with spare wheel/collapsible wheel (not GT2) and tools, but without driver and without additional weight. - A caster adjustment is normally not necessary and is therefore not present. - The toe-difference angle value is also influenced by the vehicle height! For this reason the measured result must be evaluated accordingly! No action is ecessary in the case of small deviations from the toe−difference angle required value, as long as the value to the right and the left is almost the same!

    How many miles on the car? That sounds like a normal usage to me. If you are really concerned by a 3rd party warranty.
  9. Loren
    Model and year of your please?

    Have you tried Sunset Imports? (Porsche parts at Dealer Cost) I think around $240 from them...
  11. Loren
    :clapping: I thought so. Both the throttle body and tube should be clean and free from dirt or grease (grease attracts dirt). I usually just put both hands around it and move it back and forth until I get one (barely) side started - then push straight on.

    Sometimes it is listed in the DME Vehicle Data - but frankly not very often. Of the half dozen or so times I've looked to see if the factory or dealer put it in - only twice has it been there.

    The early cars through 2001 were epoxied at the factory. Who knows maybe they just wanted to save time and money - it is obvious (at least to me) that the double-stick tape side-skirts don't fit as well as the epoxied ones. There are two sets of instruction TSBs - one for the newer style and one for the early style. Look for the Aerokit Cup TSB. The epoxy can be removed - certainly not as easy as the double-stick tape but they can be removed.

    Are you using the 12oz. bottle of Techron? I use a 16 oz. bottle (you made me look :lol: ). I also put it in - not with a full tank but when the tank is less than half full.
  16. Loren
    We have added and/or updated TSBs in the following categories today (31 total): Boxster (987) - 4 Cayman (987c) - 4 Carrera (997) - 8 Cayenne - 7 GT3 (997) - 4 TT (997) - 2 CGT - 2 Notable updated include: The approved oils list has been updated for all models. The 997 has updated TSBs for the X51 package and the Porsche Sport Exhaust. Several cayenne updated installation and tire/wheel TSBs. The Cayman Aerokit package TSB install is new. Battery maintenance for all newer models has been updated (987, 987c, 997, 997 GT3, 997 TT/GT2, CGT).

    If you want a really tight fit then have a body shop epoxy glue them in place. That is the way the original factory aerokits were and they fit very tight. The reason I say body shop is that if you use the epoxy glue then they will need to be clamped/taped in place for 24 hours to cure.

    It is not the MAF - the MAF does nothing at idle. Chancers are you have a carbon buildup around the throttle butterfly. On egas cars there is no idle control valve like the older cars - instead the throttle butterfly is opened just slightly to maintain and control the idle. If you look at the pic I posted above - that is Tariq's car and he had exactly the same problem. On the outside if you look at that throttle body it does not look to bad. But if you push the throttle butterfly open you would see carbon buildup all around the butterfly seating surfaces. Once we cleaned this off his idle was rock stable. You could try some Techron in the gas but the best short term fix is to clean the throttle body with some spray card/fuel injector cleaner (keep it off the paint). You will need to push the butterfly open with your finger to clean inside. Let it dry for a few minutes then start the car. I find a bottle of Techron every 3000 miles or really helps prevent the buildup.

    Hello, I have the same problem, I wasn't aware of the unlock codes for the radio when I changed the battery. Becker CDR 220 type BE 4462 serial # X5023044 Thanks for your help :) Try 8967 or 8965
  20. Loren
    I sent you a PM...
  21. Loren
    Sounds like it needs the throttle body cleaned.
  22. Loren
    Yes, unfortunately when you go to the reviews section you may need to login again. The two systems (forums and reviews) are supposed to share the member database. But when the forum software was upgraded to a better security model the reviews software sometimes does not get passed the same information. So the bottom line is - you may have to login tot the Reviews section too.

    A MY03 should have the new cap. You don't need to replace it unless it is leaking.
  24. Loren
    Try 5650 or 5648

    The Becker after market connector diagram is here.
