  1. There are two or three variants of boosters used on these cars are they are all a little different. Did they replace the booster? and/or did they reset the pushrod dimension? "Note: Basic setting of the push rod-dimension X is 138 mm (set in new brake boosters)! If necessary, correct during the relevant work!"
  2. A couple of our moderators live in that area. You might PM clord and/or grant and see if they are willing to take a look at it for you.
  3. Where are you located?
  4. The whole panel (like in step 17) just pulls straight out. If you can get your fingernails under it - it will pop out. Or, use a dull bladed knife and a towel to protect the dash.
  5. The brake pedal height can be adjusted very little. It is mainly intended to adjust the brake pedal height for proper "heel and toeing". Sorry, but if the pedal is low I would still suspect air in the lines. Did they bleed the ABS system too?
  6. If the problem only occurs when you switch on the headlights then it is most likely the headlight switch. If it occurs, at any time it is most likely the ignition switch.
  7. Talk to the folks at Sharkwerks or TRG. They both sell the drop links and swaybars. If you are in Europe email Gert@Carnewal.com.
  8. The accumulator is part of the hydraulic clutch. Power steering and the hydraulic clutch use the same fluid (on TT) but I'm pretty sure they are not connected. Which fluid is low the clutch reservoir in the front trunk or the power steering reservoir in the engine compartment?

    CAN bus

    Yes, a lot more. An OBD II reader only reads/resets DME fault codes. The Durametric software can read and reset many other controllers in the car (i.e. ABS, airbag, heating/AC, alarm (read only, etc.).Durametric has a table of what it will do on a 993 here.
  10. Yes, do a search here for those two codes and you will find lots of suggestions...
  11. 1. Yes, they are separate circuits. 2. Hard to say - are you sure which line it is? 3. Sorry, no - this is not even covered in the service manual (that I can find).
  12. Front struts: 997.343.041.10 or 997.343.041.12 Rear struts: 997.333.051.19
  13. Model body type? (C2, C2S, C4, C4S) Model year? US or ROW sport suspension?
  14. Changing oil on a 997 is no different than changing oil on a 996. The complete DIY is here.
  15. Home Curb-Rash Repair
  16. Yes, the whole upper part of the dash has to come out to get to the instrument cluster.
  17. Yeah, I guess I missed updating those links... They are updated now. You can find the Fuel Filter DIY here.
  18. Plesae do a search here as this has been covered many many times... :D
  19. 944.628.305.01 Wiper arm cap -- MSRP $1.00 (as of Sept 2006)
  20. Yes, pretty much. No, it is down below the radio. If you look at the other posts you will see you just remove the trim panel on the passenger side and it is usually right there. Covered many, many, many times in previous posts. There is switched and un-switched power and ground. Ignore the telephone mute wire. Look a little harder at the earlier posts please... :)
  21. Yes, he posted that here over a year ago... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=6016 I am not sure I agree with his process - especially since there is a a new seal and install tool.
  22. Try using Search... ;) You will find topics here and here.
  23. The Mk1 GT3 was not sold in the US and Canada -- it was only sold in the Rest of World market (which is everything except US/Canada). This as well as many other terms can be found in our Glossary of Technical Terms
