    For legal reasons we can't let folks print the TSBs.
  3. Loren
    Should be roughly the same as a 996 - remove the two speaker grills and then remove the 2 screws behind them.
  4. Loren
    They don't make them any more. Here is another solution. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7067

    :lol: How much was the 49? I need one of those for my MB.

    This might help. Have a look at pages 7 and 8 of TSB 7/01 6102 Noises In The Hardtop -- dated 3-22-2002. There is a procedure there for fixing noises in the hardtop shelf - but it also describes how it is attached.

    See your dealer and ask them if TSB 3/05 6006 Targa Glass Sliding Cover Lift Binder Mechanism Causes Rattling Noises -- dated 3-31-2005 pertains to your problem. The TSB states (among other things) "Vehicles manufactured before October 19, 2004, for with a customer complaint "Lift mechanism of glass sliding roof causes rattling noises", must undergo modification.". It is also possible (but not likely that the TSB has already been performed on your car. Just an FYI as a new member here - Contributing Members can view TSBs online, as well they can use the Retail Price Search feature, access the Contributors Only Forum. They can send attachments with PMs, image storage limits are raised for all Contributing Members, RennTech.org email addresses are available and a personal Blog. Contributions help defer the cost of running this site and providing this information to you. No one has to contribute but many members do. Without contributions this site would either have to go subscription or cease to exist.

    Yes, likely something in that system, bad canister, a bad purge valve, etc.

    That is the air pump used for emissions control. It should run a few minutes at start up and sometimes a few seconds at idle (usually when stopping after leaving a freeway). It is normal for it to run - it is not normal if it is vibrating or rattling. Mine sounds a little like a portable vacuum cleaner :lol:

    We have added Live Chat (back) to the site! Now you can have a "live" chat with someone else on the board or a group chat to discuss mods or whatever. You can use any of the public rooms (The Lounge, Tech Talk, Current Events) or create a private room for your chat. It can be accessed by clicking in the Live Chat at the top of any page. Login to Live Chat using your RennTech.org username and password. We tried this a while ago and the use was not high enough to justify the cost. This new version runs in Flash and is resident component here (so the cost is nil) - the only additional costs are for the bandwidth it uses. We will give this a try for a while and see if everyone likes it and uses it. If it seems useful we'll keep it -- otherwise we'll just turn it off. Enjoy! :)

    If you click on the "Links" link at the top of any page you will find it -- here.

    PPI will vary by dealer or shop as to what they check. If you want an Porsche Certified Pre-Owned type of inspection then have them do the things on the CPO checklist that can found here. Of course they will charge you for this service.

    Currently no aftermarket manuals exist for the 996 Carrera (Boxster yes -- Carrera - no). The 996 Carrera manuals (as are all Porsche service manuals) are no longer printed and I doubt there are any still for sale. The manuals available online at Porsche's Tech website for purchase. Each section (i.e. engine part 1, engine part 2, fuel/exhaust system, etc., etc.) are $110 each as downloadable PDF files. Their are about 17 sections plus a section for each model years wiring diagrams. You can also get unlimited access to all the Porsche service manuals for a yearly $5,200 subscription. The manuals are very complete and quite good.

    Have a look at TSB 4440 Summer Tires & Wheels. You will see what tire sizes Porsche approves fro which wheels. All of the Porsche 17" wheels for 996's are 7" and 9".

    They all come prime coated - so it will need to be painted.
  17. Loren
    Leather color codes should 1 letter and two numbers - (i.e. C02 - steel grey, C51 - graphite grey, etc.)
  18. Loren
    Only TSB for the belt side of the crank is for the oil seal (FMS).
  19. Loren
    You can always use "Search (Subject/Titles) for" and enter "switch" in the TT TSB section. 2/03 2804 Replacement Ignition Switch -- dated Nov 24, 2003
  20. Loren
    Are you sure it is not the water pump?
  21. Loren
    New site feature (Acronym). You can find it on the lower left of the posting screen. Mouse over the underlined term (below) TSB
  22. Loren
    http://www.durametric.com/ It will also tell you where (exactly) the fault occurred. If you did not disconnect a seat belt connector or the steering wheel - it shouldn't have gone on. The fault code will tell you.
  23. Loren
    Did you remove a seat to put the short shifter in? If you did so and the key was in the ignition (even in the off position) then that likely caused the airbag light. Easy to reset with the Durametric Software or a shop with a PIWIS tester.
  24. Loren
    The parts list (for a replacement LSD transmission) says "22/40%".
  25. Loren
    Please do not cross post (see the Board Rules/Guidelines). Get a quote from Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost (Sunset Imports). I think you will find they have the best price.
