    I doubt it - they just fail after a number of years of use. They fail on 996 coupes too.
  2. Loren
    No, the clutch is hydraulic - so no adjustment. There were some bad release bearing lever arms but those were before MY03.
  3. Loren
    It will likely need to be re-calibrated too with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester).
  4. Loren
    Yes, with the adapters from Carnewal.com... (about 95 Euro) "Unlike the freely adjustable rear spoiler of the first generation GT3, the rear spoiler of the new GT3 cannot be adjusted. For racing, clubsport or DE, the only way to change the angle of incidence of the upper wing is by using adaptors that put the wing on 4° or 8°. The set contains 2 pairs of adaptors : Two adaptors 4° Two adaptors 8°"

    Maybe it's time to send a letter to Porsche Cars Great Britain and tell them warranty service has been refused?
  6. Loren
    Yes. As long as they don't change other programming (i.e. OBC, cruise, country codes, etc.) you should not have a problem. BTW... Porsche will be able to tell the DME has been tampered with - so they could use that against you in any (related) warranty issues.
  7. Loren
    Sounds like a bad connection or bad coolant temperature sensor. I do not understand why they would not correct this under warranty - Porsche repays them for their expense.
  8. Loren
    After how many miles (or km)?
  9. Loren
    Sorry, to hear about your problems... You do know you can get an exchange engine from Porsche? There will be a core deposit plus $7000-$8000 for the engine - and installation cost. Exchange engines (in the US) carry a two warranty as I recall. Updating to a 3.6 will require a DME change (5.2.2 to 7.8), adding egas (if your car is a C2), and fuel systems work for the returnless fuel system used on 3.6 liter cars. I suspect that will be pretty costly.
  10. Loren
    The one in the aerokit package? Yes. The one from a stock spoiler - No.
  11. Loren
    There are several TSBs on this and your dealer may need to replace the amp and/or update your PCM software.
  12. Loren
    I would have the suspension (and lower control arms) inspected by a good alignment shop - one that know a good part from bad one. Sorry, but not all dealers fall into that category - so a really good alignment shop. If you were in the San Francisco bay area I would recommend Custom Alignment. Since they work on a lot of race cars they down a weakened or worn out part from a good one.
  13. Loren
    No - but it will keep the cap from leaking too - which is a very common problem with -00 caps.
  14. Loren
    Yes, there is an "approved" tire, wheel and spacer list. Ask your dealer to give you a copy of TSB 4/04 4440 Summer Tire and Wheel Summary -- dated 05-25-2004 ---- or become a Contributing Member here and read it online (as well as all the other TSBs).
  15. Loren
    Use a tubing wrench as the brake line nuts round offf easily. Bleed the brake system (and clutch) after changing them.
  16. Loren
    Porsche's 8.5 x 18 wheel has an offset of 40 mm - so you will need to check these to see if they will work.
  17. Loren
    MY of car? Model number of stereo? BOSE, Harman, or other options?
  18. Loren
    Looks like the line to the oil separator to me. I would have your dealer look at it and repair the problem. These cars should not leak any oil - period.
  19. Loren
    Uh... black is power - brown is ground.
  20. Loren
    Where are you located? (perhaps someone can loan you a set) Otherwise you can get them from Becker for about $2.00 (plus shipping).
  21. Loren
    On a MY99 cruise sends a speed signal and diagnosis signal to the cluster.
  22. Loren
    Cruise control was stanadard on US 996's. It looks like you may need to recheck your wiring. BTW... did you have someone turn on OBC in your cluster?
  23. Loren
    986.637.243.04 is for US/Canada MY97-00 with 315 mhz alarms 986.637.243.03 is for many RoW cars with 433 mhz alarms
  24. Loren
    996.731.720.00.G2L Right lower cover (prime coated) -- $6.30 (as of Sep 2006) 996.731.038.03 Right convex mirror glass -- $43.49 ( as of Sep 2006)
  25. Loren
    Just the mirror (13) or the housing (2) too?
