    That would be a good place to start. Look for cracked coils then check resistance in case there are cracks you can't see. Spark plug connectors should be about 2000 ohms and the coils should be 0.3 to 0.7 ohms (cold).

    Have you tried our Porsche Decoder here on the site??? Scouser's PORSCHE 17 Digit VIN Decoder

    Yes. Your only concern is 3.6 liter engine mufflers.
  6. Loren
    There are 3 or 4 different 3.6 mufflers plus a couple PSE that will all work.
  7. Loren
    Those are 3.4 mufflers - you do not want those on a 3.6. It works the other way around - you can use 3.6 mufflers on a 3.4 - but you should not use 3.4 mufflers on a 3.6.

    You likely need to see your dealer. There is a TSB for this problem and it says that the Navigation unit should be replaced.
  9. Loren
    Please do a search here - these subjects have been covered many many times...
  10. Loren
    I haven't seen any side by side yet. I do know both look longer and thinner -- but I would have to put them side by side.
  11. Loren
    Yes, I can get you the part number but I think you are going to have to put them side by side with the GT3 ducts - or did you mean GT3 RS/Cup Car ducts. I am sure the GT3RS/Cup Car ducts are larger. You can really run the GT3 RS/Cup Car ducts on the street if your car is lowered - they will just scrape off.

    I haven't seen one break into small bits yet - but I won't say it can't happen. I would be more concerned with hitting myself in the face when I pull one straight out :lol: (please don't ask how I know) ;)

    3 hours for a shifter that is already put together (you have to assemble the B&M)? 30 minutes is more like it. Porsche wrote a TSB for installing their shifter but TSBs are only available to Contributing Members here. Search for and find the free B&M instructions here. You could use those instructions too and would not be doing any of the shifter rebuild if you use the Porsche part as it is already assembled.

    Bank 1 is cylinders 1 to 3. Which is on the left side 996. The one in the code is the sensor after the cat (muffler side). O2 sensors do not need to be replaced in pairs.
  15. Loren
    If that is the only fault you are getting then you likely have a dieing O2 sensor. I usually disconnect it clean the contacts and plug it back in. Then reset the fault code and see if it comes back. That is a little early for an O2 sensor failure (from aging) but not totally unheard of.

    Model Year? US or Row car?

    Yes, gently release it from the gromment (item 10). I say gently because sometimes the on older cars the connections get brittle and easily break.
  19. Loren
    Bad connector or bad wiring harness? They should be able to see if the sensor is working by looking at the mass air flow with their PST2 or PIWIS tester. If the MAF rads correctly then the problem is the DME.
  20. Loren
    Hmm... you get that same symptom if you unplug the MAF sensor.
  21. Loren
    You need to remove the three bolts (items 9 and 7).
  22. Loren
    Eric at Bumperplugs.com sells plugs for the wiper hole.
  23. Loren
    Well, I guess you could always take the cat off and shake it to be sure. Unless the break is near (where it could be welded) the end it likely means a new ($$$) cat.
  24. Loren
    I think the two concerns are getting the wheel carrier down enough to get the strut out (and in) and not stressing the brake lines too much. There are only two bolts on the caliper so most folks just take them off and hang them on a wire out the way (so they don't have to disconnect the brake line).
  25. Loren
    Should be three bolts and pull it off the gromment (toward the front of the car). Since you have headlight washers there will be two pumps and the various hose to disconnect. When you replace it make sure you get the right tank as the one for cars with headlight washers is slightly larger (996.528.701.00).
