    They start delivering cars in December (in the US) so it could be any day now. As soon as we have it will be posted here.

    Here is a pic from one of our Moderators. The heat shield is the foil looking stuff around the muffler. You do not need to remove the bumper or jack the car up. Just wait until it is cool or use protective gloves to isolate the rattle. In a few cases there have been broken welds inside the muffler too. (pic courtesy of Orient express)
  3. Loren
    Did you check the heat shields around the mufflers? That is fairly common.

    Porsche publishes a service information book every year that details the changes for the techs and dealers (fairly technical). For the MY2002 TT the book was 17 pages. Contributing Members here can view the book online.

    If they are factory Litronics then they have self-leveling - if they were added later they do not. The wiring is not present and would be a big pain to add, plus the sensors (front and rear), and the control unit.
  6. Loren
    These have both been been covered here many times - please try using the Search feature. You will need the Durametric Software (about $250) or a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester to reset the airbag light. What is more important is to read the airbag fault code(s) to see what caused it to come on in the first place.

    No.
  8. Loren
    No, they are the same (at least to my ears).

    Disconnect the driveshaft at wheel end only. You will also need to remove the lower balljoint. I would drive it around some before alignment so the springs are settled.

    996.552.233.06.A03 Trim for switches (black) -- MSRP $59.03 (in USD as of October 2006)

    Strange dealer - Porsche says every 20,000 miles.

    Most of the MY07 Order Guides have been updated today. That also includes the MY06 Cayenne S Titanium edition that will be sold in 2007.

    There was a glitch today with this server (and many others) with time server synchronization. The problem has been corrected but you will see a few posts that will look like they they were written in the future (i.e. 9:00 PM instead of 9:00 AM). This will also cause your New Posts and Mark Forum as Read not to work until the actually time "catches up" with the wrong posting times. So, everything should be working properly again in about 12 hours. Sorry, for the problem but this time server glitch affected thousands if not millions of servers.

    These are the brackets for a 997 with comfort seats. If I misunderstood and he has sport seats then the numbers are different.
  15. Loren
    If it can show actual valves (from the DME) then you can compare - if not the Durametric software is only about $250 (vs. $3600 for a used PST2).
  16. Loren
    Depends on the scanner... the Durametric Software will.
  17. Loren
    Do we know that the climate control measures that temperature at the same place as the DME? Perhaps the climate control reads the temperature at the heater core inlet? and the DME reads it at the engine? I may try to hook up my PST2 to my car and see what the DME temp says compared to the climate control.
  18. Loren
    Yes, the sway bars are the same for X74 and M030.
  19. Loren
    Please be more specific is this dash trim or the surround on the shifter?
  20. Loren
    My quote above is directly from the Porsche service manual.
  21. Loren
    What are you worried about - that sounds about right? Is your car overheating?
  22. Loren
    You need to have your PSM/ABS faults read with the Durametric Software, PST2, or PIWIS tester. Write down the fault code(s) and report them back here.

    The radiator fans are two stage. The fans always go to stage two (fast) when the the AC is on. They turn on as follows:

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=45723 Color should not be an issue Porsche says you can mix them (their coolants only).
  25. Loren
    Done, thanks.
