    Yes, new will have too much oil. Wrap it in newspaepr over night and you will see what I mean. These are fine to use as long as they are not over oiled. I have had a BMC filter in my car for 6 years. When I clean it I just re-oil and then wrap in newspaper overnight to absorb the excess oil. Porsche uses BMC on all their Super Cup and other race cars.

    I did not have have any problems with the 285s and 10" factory wheels (63 mm offset). If you use larger sizes like 295 and 11" wheels then I think you may need to taper that seam back.

    I think there was a control unit (box) for spoilers (except RS and turbo) . You may need to look at another 993 and compare what is there and what is not.

    No, for legal reasons you are not allowed to copy or print the TSBs. They are for online viewing only.

    If I were you I would take the K&N back out - wrap it in newspaper overnight to soak up all excess oil in the filter. If you don't do that you will likely foul your MAF sensor and get a check engine light in a matter of days.

    236 - 18" Tires

    Yes, all you need is a PST2 or PIWIS. Where are you located (I have a PST2)?
  9. Loren
    Most of those are in the listing here on the site.

    Remember these are Porsche (only) terms and refer to lighting systems on Porsches. Litronic was an option on the Boxster (986) from MY97 through MY05. MY99 through MY01 Carrera's (996) also had "Litronic" headlights as options. Bi-Xenon are options on all the newer cars and MY02 - MY05 996 Carrera's, all TT's/GT2 and MY04 and later GT3. Technically speaking, there is no difference between "Litronic" and "Xenon". Both systems are based on the principle of the gas discharge lamp. Trademark protection of different manufacturers accounts for the different system names. The difference is that the earlier Litronic headlights used a xenon bulb for the low beams and a halogen bulb (combined with the Litronic bulb beam) for high beams. Bi-Xenon headlights use xenon bulbs for both low beam and high beam. Unfortunately the design (shape) of the headlight assembly changed for the Bi-Xenon headlights and they can not be fitted to older cars without changing the front fenders and front bumper. Probably more than you wanted to know... ;)

    Did you check the clutch interlock switch (on the clutch pedal)?
  12. Loren
    Your Cayenne can use the CDC-4 changer only. Because this is a fiber optic (MOST) system you need a kit from Porsche and you need to have the cars controller programmed for the new changer. The correct fiber optic interface cable(s) need to be chosen based on the options already in your car (i.e. PCM, phone, BOSE, etc.)

    There are several hundred posts here on the B&M shifter, alignmment and problems.

    Yes, you need to look at the Seats catalog near the bottom of the PET list. If your are using the Sunset online catalog look for the heading Seats2, for 986/996/Cayenne.
  15. Loren
    On OEM parts they are different - no idea about MA Shaw.
  16. Loren
    Correct, if you get a beep then one or more zones are open. The easiest way to diagnose alarm problems is with a PST2 or a 3rd party software like the Durametric Diagnostic Software. Both can pinpoint the exact cause of the alarm fault. The PST2 can reset alarm codes, the Durametric software can not (at this time). The most common alarm faults are caused by a bad or broken center console microswitch and aftermarket radio installs (that do not take into account the alarm contact).

    Are the brakes wet... if so, it could be rust on the rotors.
  18. Loren
    I would also clean the radiators and the AC condensors while the bumper cover off.... but that's me.
  19. Loren
    I think you should have the newer key internals. You will need to transfer them to the new key.

    996.505.986.00 Spoiler It may or may not come with the 11 plastic rivets that hold it on. If not, they are 999.507.427.40 (11 required).
  22. Loren
    Those are Boxster only wheels - the rear offset is wrong for a 996. That must be one strange handling 00 Cab... :blink:
  23. Loren
    No, it defaults to valves open all the time.
  24. Loren
    The later cars all have 8" fronts. I think it improves overall handling with the proper tire sizes. I have 8" fronts with 10" rears (Sport Designs) on my car with 225/40 x 18 front tires and 285/30 x 18 rears. With the 8" front wheels I could go with 235/40 x 18 in front and neutralize the affect of the wider rear tires. In fact a 245 tire will fit with just a little rubbing at full lock. It all comes down to how you want your car to handle.

    1. Likely just Variocan Plus. To make it is I suggest getting your dealer to let you drive another MY02 or newer 911. There was a DME update for some of the early MY02 cars that reduced the effect somewhat so I think it is important to see if yours is "common" or different. 2. Check the lubrication of the common clutch and brake axle shaft (item 13). The bushings need to be lubricated too (6X and 14X). Porsche suggests Optimal, Optitemp LG2 grease -- Part No.: 000.043.203.37.
