    TP, I'm curious what it was about the Porsche protectant you didn't like? I masked off my top and unloaded a full can on the cleaned top. It seems to work pretty well for me. Also, you mentioned the 3M Scotchguard. I wanted to use that a couple years ago, so I called them to ask but they did not recommend it for convertible tops. Have you found one that is specifically recommended for tops? Give me a break... Tool Pant's top is only up on his Boxster the 2 days a year it rains in San Jose... :lol: :lol: :lol: Come to think of it - I'm not sure he has a top -- I've never seen it up!

    :lol: My first Porsche was a MY74 914 2.0 that was an RoW car. All RoW 914's were co-badged (as far as I know) so my 914 2.0 also had the VW logo. I'll see if I can did up a pic or two...

    I got my cayenne manual in 2002 at introduction so it is not likely up to date with the newer Cayenne brakes. Let me see if I can get a supplement or update...

    It should include all the Major Maintenance shown here. Plus any of the Additional Maintenance (for 30,000 miles) shown here. If that price includes parts and labor - you might want to shop around. BTW... a 3rd party shop can likely do the same work for much less and your warranty will still be valid as long as you have a receipt for what was done.

    If you do a search I am sure we've posted the factory settings here before...

    Loren- How comprehensive is this information? Specifically if I wanted to have the wiring layout of my car. Is it worth the 110 bucks for the doc or is it vague like a Chilton's manual would be for other cars? In the coming weeks I will be putting in my own stereo and it may or may not be of value to me. What's your opinion? Well, you will all the schematics for your model year car - for $110. If there were any updates later (like there are to the other sections of the manuals) it would cost you another $110 to get them again. For a MY03 Targa you will get 53 pages of schematics that have pretty much all the detail. The schematics contain wiring for all options so if you don't have an option you will have to look closer and make sure you are choosing the right path. Since they have a sample of the table of contents (for free) here is a copy of the TOC for a MY03 Carrera (including Targa). MY03_Circuit_diagram_for_911_Carrera__996__TOC.pdf

    Yes, for the PSE. Or you can add the switch later (some wiring required).
  10. Loren
    You are correct. If there is no connection to the speed sensor (Signal A) then the exhaust never gets a signal to close the valves and they are always open. The switch can be wired to be a "manual speed sensor" in the sense that you can have the switch turn the exhaust from open to closed.

    The hold-down springs are the same on the Boxster and Carrera - but other parts are not. Those are just hold-down springs - if the old ones are not damaged then I would reuse them.
  12. Loren
    LOL... my image is from Porsche's Boxster Service Manual. 4 and 5 are the return springs. You just put everything in place as shown and use hold down springs (6) to hold them in place. Center everything the best you can then carefully slide the rotor/drum on. One the rotor/drum is in place it keep everything from flying apart. When you both side done you will need to go through the individual shoe adjustment using a screwdriver through the hole in the rotor. With a screwdriver, adjust the adjustment fixture through a threaded wheel bolt hole until the wheel can no longer be turned. Next, turn back the adjustment fixture through 5 notches again (release approx. 3 notches until the wheel can be turned freely, then release another 2 notches). Repeat the procedure on the other wheel. You should also adjust the cable tension at the handbrake inside the car. You may have to first release tension on the cable to do the adjustment above.

    Perhaps this will help...

    The only thing you can do is see if another car at the dealership does the same thing. If it does then you are likely stuck with the issue. If not, then you get your dealership to change it out - under warranty.

    Because all the "00" caps leak.
  16. Loren
    The spoiler should extend at approx. 75 MPH -- it should retract at approx. 37 MPH.
  17. Loren
    If you cap part number ends in "00" -- then it needs to be replaced with the "01" version. If your cap leaks (regardless of the part number) - it needs to be replaced.

    Maybe if you mix the old (yellow/green) with the newer (pink) you get blue? Tool Pants pic

    Check with Jeff Clark at Sunset Imports - I only see a wire harness in the parts list for MY02 and newer. But there are several "harness repair kits". He likely knows which one to order. You can email him at: JeffClark@sunsetimports.com

    It is a challenge - a third (or fourth) hand always helps.
  21. Loren
    Model Year and model please...
  22. Loren
    Correct.
  23. Loren
    I posted the link to the instructions and the full discussion of part numbers 5 posts up. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=493
  24. Loren
    Yes, but you will need to cut the bumper mount back to fit the curve of the TT bumper. This has been covered here many times...
  25. Loren
    Do you have to have the switch rekeyed to use your existing keys? How hard is it to DIY If you replace just the electrical part of the switch then nothing has to be re-keyed or re-programmed. If you replace the whole lock assembly then you do have to re-program.
