    You need to read all the posts in that thread - it is covered on the second page of posts here.
  2. Loren
    US or RoW sport springs? RoW will be a little lower. If you go sport springs then I really suggest that you get a kit with springs, shocks, and sway bars. If you use the stock shocks with (shorter) sport springs you could damage the shocks.
  3. Loren
    Have a look at the thread here. Several methods to fix the problem - you can decide if you want to DIY. At least the horns work - they are also known to go bad and die too.
  4. Loren
    Yes, set means two matched springs. Springs come in a set of 2 for the front and a different part number for the rear set. There are two different part numbers for the rear springs depending on your VIN. If don't know which one then PM me with your VIN and I will tell which rear spring set to order.

    What fuse blew? Location number please? Take B3 out and see if it still happens - if it does you have an alarm problem. If it doesn't still happen then you have a two tone horn problem - likely a short in the steering wheel.

    Front springs: 996.343.531.04.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) Rear springs: 996.333.531.05.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) TO VIN numbers (ending in): 991S6 20455 991S6 50542 991S6 20480 991S6 50585 996.333.531.38.504 Stock coil spring set (marked brown yellow) FROM VIN numbers (ending in): 991S6 20456 991S6 50543 991S6 20481 991S6 50586

    Option three is a plug-patch. That is a patch (done from the inside) that also has a plug attached to it. So, the plug is pulled through the hole securing the patch on the inside of the tire - all are glued.
  8. Loren
    US or RoW? stock or sport? If you are changing suspensions I think you want a kit that includes springs, shocks and sway bars?
  9. Loren
    If you hear a horn beep when you lock the doors that means you have an alarm zone open (or not functioning). This could cause the alarm to trigger. The alarm system has it's own horn/siren. The alarm system has it's own controller and fuse C3 - and it is 15A. The fuse B3 is 25A (not 30A) and is for the driving two tone horns - operated from the steering wheel.

    Dealers were supposed to replace the 00 caps long ago -- but many were missed. The 00 caps are known to leak. The newer 01 caps (usually) don't leak.
  11. Loren
    996.642.122.03 EFR was used through model year 2001 996.642.122.12 EWD was used in model year 2002 (pre MOST and PCM2) If you have an older version of PCM in your car you will need to re-program the instrument cluster to match the PCM unit or your total mileage and fuel consumption will not match the PCM unit.
  12. Loren
    I doubt it. I would ask them to show let me drive another 997 Tip that makes the noise. If other cars don't do it - then (IMHO) it is time to take it to your Porsche Regional Rep.
  13. Loren
    I don't think you need any relays. Did you see the DIY here?
  14. Loren
    Yeah, if the old cap wasn't leaking then it might be worth a try. I guess you might have a bad new cap?
  15. Loren
    Assuming the new tank did not crack when you put it in. You didn't say that you replaced the cap or not? What are the last two numbers on the cap part number? If it is 00 then it needs to be replaced.
  16. Loren
    They might work but Porsche uses different spring rates and shock stiffness for coupes and cabs. As well the Tip and 6 speed matter also. It is all a case of weight and balance - Porsche's running are "tuned" to the cars options/weight/balance. Stock springs will raise the car up some and soften the ride some at the expense of some handling.

    There are several hundred things that can cause a check engine light. Without the fault code(s) you are shooting in the dark. Go to an Autozone and have them read your codes for free. Then post them here.
  19. Loren
    Have them check the ground (connector) wires under the seat also.
  20. Loren
    I would use some electrical contact cleaner.

    Because of the demand for disassembling sun visor - here it is: 1. Unclip mirror insert 3 -- Insert a narrow screwdriver between the mirror insert 3 and the mirror housing 2 at the bottom center, and unclip the mirror insert. 2. Remove mirror insert 3 -- Pull the mirror insert 3 upwards and remove from the mirror housing 2. 3. Remove bulb 5 and contact clips 4 -- Remove the 12V /3W bulb 5 from the contact clip 4. Take the contact clips upwards out of the holder. 4. Unclip mirror housing 2 -- Insert a narrow plastic spatula between the mirror housing 2 and the sun visor 1 on the left and right and unclip the mirror housing. 5. Remove mirror housing -- Take the electric lead out of the mirror housing 2 and detach the mirror housing from the sun visor.
  23. Loren
    If you want to know what the fault code (and cause) is -- then you will need the Durametic Software or a shop with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester. The most common problem is bad electrical connections on the buckles (either side). The fault code will tell you which one it causing the light.
  24. Loren
    What color is the second wire? (brown is almost always ground)
