  1. Look up where you can recycle used motor oil, filters, brake fluid, antifreeze, etc.
  2. NIMHO... get the alignment done a really good alignment shop and then if they don't have a PST2 have your dealer check it. It is a 5 minute job.
  3. Fuse B3. That would be second row from the top third fuse in from the left. Don't be suprised if it is a bad horn - as you can see above it is a fairly common failure.
  4. If you didn't remove the shifter mechanism then the shift lock magnet and switch should be okay. I have heard of a couple cases where the magnet became dislodged. It is kind of hard to get to and I not sure where the wires exit at.
  5. My mistake - 996.606.123.00 is still available. The 996.606.124.00 can be replaced with the 996.606.125.01 provided the DME is updated.
  6. Sorry for the delay (due to email issues). Scouser has updated the VIN Decoder to include several new models. The VIN Decoder is here. Many thanks to Scouser for his work and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:
  7. Only the non-egas cars need to have the DME re-programmed when changing the MAF. That is because the MAF used on the early (C2) non-egas cars is no longer made. To use the newer MAF the DME needs to be re-programmed. Since you have a C4 - you have egas and there should be no need to re-program the DME. Perhaps your OPC was confused and thought your car was a C2.
  8. 3/8 should be fine. Sears has some good ones. I have one torque wrench I use on engine parts (a nice but expensive Proto Tools) and a cheaper one I use for wheels and body/suspension parts (Sears). Never drop a torque wrench - cheap or expensive. For this project you could likely get by without one - just don't over tighten the bolts or they may snap off.
  9. For a Boxster but the same... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=16189 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=27394 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=28202 Search works really well here... ;)
  10. Other folks here have done this. Perhaps it would help if we had you told us - front or rear wheel bearing?
  11. On your MY car the M030 uses the same bar. The larger bar (again for your MY) is for C4 since it is heavier. I would change them both. Be carefull tightening - only 17 ft/lbs.
  12. If there is a beep when you lock the car there is a zone "open". You have one or more zones open (most common are console lid microswitch, front trunk microswitch). The key problem could be the switch on the Tip shift lever in the console or a bad ignition switch/lock. What were you doing with the console and did you connect all the switches back up? Any independent shop (or dealer) with a PST2 should be a able to tell you what the problem(s) pretty quickly.
  13. :lol: that's easy... it only comes in black.
  14. That part number IS the bushing (20.9 mm) for a 20.7 mm bar. Your car should have had 18.5 mm bar which uses 996.333.792.24 (18.7 mm) bushings.
  15. Have a look here.
  16. 996.552.677.00.01C Cover (in satin black) -- MSRP $4.32 (as of March 2006)
  17. Those part numbers come directly from the Porsche TSB that describes how to fix noises in the dashboard area. Any Porsche dealer - Sunset Imports will give better prices than I quoted but for that small amount you might want to pick it up locally.
  18. A higher rated fuse will not fix the short/problem. The only things (that are supposed to be on that circuit) are the radio and Nav system (if you have it). Any 3rd party addons? Has the radio been out of the car recently? What was your P-code?
  19. Should be B2. Second row of fuses from the top. Second fuse from the left. Should be 7.5 A.
  20. 1. I honestly have never noticed it taking that long. 2. I would check the air cleaner condition as well as the throttle body. See if there is a carbon build-up around the throttle butterfly - or just try a bottle of Chevron Techroline in your gas. 3. A small amount of ticking is normal at startup (hydraulic lifters) - if it doesn't go away when the engine is warm then you should have a tech look at (hear) it.
  21. In modern Porsche's the (solid) brown wire is always ground. If there is not a brown wire then just hook up the volt meter - if the circuit is working then it will read either +12 volts or - 12 volts.
  22. I'm pretty sure a pre-face lift GT3 Cup car bumper will fit - but I think the GT3 RS bumper would require some additional mounting points.
