    The fuel filter (your pic) is clamped to the coolant tank on a C4. Just take the screw clamp off of it. I would get new screw type hose clamps. They are easier to work with and some of the spring clamp type may not hold well after re-use. Be prepared to be patient getting the tank out. It only comes out one way and a few folks have even lowered the engine an inch or so to make it easier (but that is more work). And, yes open the bleed valve after re-filling and check it often over the next few days.

    996 641 984 77 70c was replaced by 996 641 984 57 70C. That is not a console it is an instrument cluster for a GT2 (GB version). I do not think it will work in a car older than MY01.

    No it is not confidential. MSRP is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is Porsche's published retail price. Dealers can charge the same, less, or in a few rare cases more. Dealers can sell parts at whatever price they want -- including below their cost (usually to move overstock or slow moving inventory). Part of the reason we post this is so that folks have a ballpark idea of what something will cost -- and also know when they are being overcharged.

    I don't know the system you are talking about but there is a reverse switch on the (manual) transmission housing - or is this a Tiptronic?
  5. Loren
    You can do the measurement without the special box - just be very careful that you don't short any pins.

    On a 986 - Yes, you need to loosen the diagonal brace but no re-alignment is needed. See the DIY in the 996 section and special instructions in step 2 here.

    996 362 142 11 was replaced (and is the replacement for) 996 362 142 03. They should be the same - 996 362 142 03 is no longer available.
  9. Loren
    Yes - pretty much. Porsche's MSRP on the box is $725.12 :eek:

    Congratulations! It's all in the Contributing Members (only) forum here ;)

    Okay - this is closed due to name calling. You folks need to take this offline. Further discussion is between the buyer, seller and eBay. John V's response to clarify and close this topic.

    A PDF version (not the latest version) of PET is available by following the link in our Links section here. I will leave this thread open as long folks keep it civil - so please do...

    Usually the letter X at the end of the part number means it is a rebuilt. The serial number should be on any paperwork also (since that is what they are warrantying).

    Sorry, I don't see anything here that is RoW or M030. 986.343.041.20 are standard front shocks 986.333.051.20 are standard rear shocks All M030 rear swaybars are 19.2 or 19.8 mm I do not have sizes for front swaybars Front blue/white are (US) standard springs Rear springs - there is no pink/yellow. There is blue/yellow or violet/yellow and neither are RoW M030 springs.

    There is no DIY for this. It is not to common but occasionally a tech will forget to hookup or tighten the ground strap after removing the transmission for an RMS or IMS There is a strap that connects the transmission to the chassis (on the underside of the car). Simply find that strap and check that both ends of the connection are attached and have good clean contact.
  19. Loren
    Yes, same situation - the coils are already installed on the struts.
  20. Loren
    It is not the O2 sensors and it is likely not the MAF. If it were the MAF why would your engine be running too lean only on cylinders 4-6? I think you should look for intake leaks, a cracked oil filler hose, oil separator or other intake related problem.
  21. Loren
    If your car is under warranty they should do the firmware updates for free. I would not mention the new DVD at that time.
  22. Loren
    The RMS or IMS leaks from the joint where the engine mets the transmission. The best way to tell where the leak is will be to clean off all the existing oil - put some talc on the bottom of the engine and raise it on a hoist to see where the oil starts from (IMHO of course).
  23. Loren
    9 bolts for the GT3 pressure plate -- 6 bolts for the Carrera pressure plate. Folks - remember the GT3 and 996/997 Carrera use both different engines and transmissions.
  24. Loren
    Did your dealer do the firmware upgrade so you can use the newer DVD? As I recall there are several upgraded that must be done by the dealer to use the newer DVD software.
  25. Loren
    Remove and test fuse C3 (third row down from the top - third fuse from the left). It should be 15A. That fuse is the alarm, power windows, interior lights, sun roof, cab top.
