    There are two adjustments - at the wheels and at the handbrake handle itself. To adjust: 1. Remove the rear wheels. 2. Release the parking brake lever and push back the brake pads of the rear axle until the brake disc can be turned freely. 3. Undo the adjustment nuts on the turnbuckle (arrow) until the cables are without pretension. 4. With a screwdriver, adjust the adjustment fixture through a threaded wheel bolt hole until the wheel can no longer be turned. Next, turn back the adjustment fixture through 5 notches again (release approx. 3 notches until the wheel can be turned freely, then release another 2 notches). Repeat the procedure on the other wheel. 5. Pull up the parking brake lever by 2 teeth and turn the adjustment nut of the turnbuckle until both wheels can be turned manually with difficulty. 6. Release the parking brake lever and check whether both wheels can be turned freely.

    Are you talking about the oil seperator in the engine sump? If so, then you remove the oil pan cover - no need to remove the engine.

    I would ask them to run a compression check on each cylinder. This should tell if you have rings leaking or worse a slipped cylinder liner.
  4. Loren
    I guess I was not clear - I think you need to have all the system controllers scanned again and print out all the fault codes. An OPC or independent shop with a PST2 or PIWIS can easily do this. They can even tell you if you have a sensor disconnected.
  5. Loren
    Every fault has a code PSM, ABS, DME etc., etc. You really need to these codes to narrow down the possibilities.
  6. Loren
    Is this a UK car (where they report the manufacture year rather model year)? because the 996TT didn't come out until MY01. Have you had the fault codes read on the car? The is the first thing you should do - and write them all down and report back here. At this point it could be anything from an air/vacuum leak to a MAF to a bad electrical connection.
  7. Loren
    Yes, that should work. MSRP (in US dollars) is $23.36 (as of August 2006).
  8. Loren
    Remove cap (20) and then the screw (21) from inside. The remove the two screws (21) from the door side of the vent. Disconnect any electrical connectors (if there are any).
  9. Loren
    Have look here. Is that what you need?

    15A for both A9 and A10.
  12. Loren
    Not without changing out the whole dash - which is quite a job...
  13. Loren
    Any chance you have a water leak and water has gotten to the alarm/central locking control box under the driver's seat? I would see if the carpet under the driver seat is wet or damp...
  14. Loren
    Well the battery needs to have a vent connection that can have a tube attached to it - and sorry I do not know about the Interstate battery. The Autozone Duralast that Tool Pants and I use comes with a battery side connector, tubing and an adapter so I would think other good battery makers would do the same. Se my post (and others) here.
  15. Loren
    Do you mean vent (for the battery gases)? or the water drains for the area around the battery?

    996.645.331.03 is the amp for M490. I believe that is the Harman amp sound package.
  17. Loren
    BOSE High End Sound package was an option (680) on the MY04 40th Anniversary car. It included a 100 watt amp and 11 speakers. Sorry, it does not sound like you have it unless it was installed after production. I think your amp part number would be 996.645.332.05 if you have the BOSE High End Sound package. Option 665 and 670 are PCM2 (navigation) with radio.
  18. Loren
    Well, you need to find a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester and have read out your Parkassist fault code(s). These codes will tell you and tech exactly where the problem is. An independent shop will likely be the least cost.
  19. Loren
    You need to find someone to read the fault code(s). Where are you located? The loudspeaker emits the following signals: System readiness - 0.5 sec. continuous tone, 1200 Hz. Fault signal - Continuous tone whenever just switched on, 600 Hz. Obstacle detection - Signal tone with tone break. Tone break is distancedependent. Continuous tone from distance of 30 cm, 1200 Hz.
  20. Loren
    The are ultra sound sensors and I don't think they require any cleaning. Are you having a problem? What are the symptoms?
  21. Loren
    Probably an 8 bit first version unit. The first PCM (rev 2) change didn't happen until February 2001 TT production (accroding to the TSB). See the pinned post here (PCM/PCM2 Software Revisions).

    With the right driver I have seen them last more than 150,000 miles. But I have also seen clutches that were trashed in less than 60,000 miles. It really all depends on how the car was driven.
  24. Loren
    Shouldn't be more than 1 hour (IMHO). I can replace one in 15 minutes.
  25. Loren
    Have you checked fuse A5 (top row 5th fuse from the left) - should be 15A. I think there is also a connector in the engine compartment. Follow the wire(s) back from the lights and make the connector is clean and plugged in.
