    I'm not sure on turbos as I have seen many. But, on Carrera's and Boxster it is usually everything except the AC compressor.
  2. Loren
    :thumbup:
  3. Loren
    Have you checked replacing the bulbs in your owners manual? I think you have to take the lens off for that.
  4. Loren
    For a MY 99 the 993.113.245.01 is the correct part. Sometimes one fault can cause another fault.
  5. Loren
    Just when you start to back up or does the rattle continue? Could be a partially plugged line or a bad motor or a leak. Most of the tank and pump are under the left front fender (even on RHD cars I think).
  6. Loren
    Try bypassing the clutch switch if it is not that then you may have a bad ignition switch.
  7. Loren
    Yes, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner to me. It usually runs only about 5 minutes. It is for emissions.
  8. Loren
    You can always get the B&M shifter. It pretty much works and looks the same - except it is blue and the Porsche one is gray.

    It's not too hard to clean the carbon from the throttle butterfly. It has been covered many times here - try doing a search.
  10. Loren
    Take your car back to the dealer to fix it under warranty. Could be the alternator.

    Hmm... Porsche's parts list calls out 996.606.124.00 for all years 996TT.
  12. Loren
    or a 19mm O2 sensor socket.
  13. Loren
    Thanks for catching that oversight. Should be all fixed now.

    There are some tests you can run with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. If want to be sure then you need to find a show with one of those testers.

    The first year of any new model will always have some needed updates - but it does mean that is a bad year. Any year will need some updates as time goes on - first years just might need a few more. I have a MY99 996 - the first year for the 996. IMHO of course...

    I think all refurbished engines have part numbers that end in letter (i.e. X, AX, EX, etc.) whereas new just end in a number. Built to MY05 specs -- but likely built in 2005.
  17. Loren
    Where are you located?
  18. Loren
    My cosmoline covered engine pan (original engine). Orient Express's second engine replacement (clean and shiny).
  19. Loren
    996.803.541.00.01C Cover (black) MY99 -- MSRP $1.10 each (as of June 2006)
  20. Loren
    No adjustment. You should bleed the clutch when you do brake fluid replacements (at least every two years).
  21. Loren
    Your manual or original paperwork may have the original engine serial number on it - mine does. You can then check it against the serial number of the engine presently in the car. Most owners never remove the brown cosmoline on the bottom of the car and engine from the factory - but none of the replacement engines I've seen ever have cosmoline on them. They are clean and shiny. The DME replacement records would (legally) have to be in the car's history. Any dealer should be able to pull up a full vehicle history from your VIN.
  22. Loren
    Sorry, for legal reasons you are not allowed to print TSBs.
  23. Loren
    My engine hours and airbag hours are about 100 hours different. Airbag is 100 hours more. But, I use my PST2 on the car a lot to answer questions here - so I have a lot of "key on" time. Your airbag hours are 3.5 times engine hours. I wonder if the DME and/or engine was changed? Or, I wonder if someone had a habit of leaving the key in the ignition (car off) - that still activates the airbag circuit.
  24. Loren
    Which item number?
  25. Loren
    Yes. The only codes it can not clear (at this time) is alarm codes. See their feature matrix here.
