    It is pretty much the same as a pre-face lift 996. See my 3rd Radiator install instructions here.

    Carefully lift the horseshoe and check underneath to see if any clips are missing or broken.
  3. Loren
    Felt tape like you used elsewhere. ;)

    I would have the electrolyte in your battery checked. Also, if you jiggle the ignition key does that make any difference?
  5. Loren
    How old is the battery?

    Pull the plastic covers off (items 7 (one each side) and 8) and then remove the bolts and hardware. Porsche makes a kit (for the GT3) called a rollbar kit that replaces the holes and the side locking pins with nice looking hardware. It has gotten to be a little pricey though. 000.044.801.63 Rollbar Kit -- MSRP $124.09 (as of March 2006).

    I suggest you go hang around the best Porsche tech you know and watch them replace an RMS and IMS (or two or three). Then, if you can, borrow the installation tools.

    The photo is an old photo of the early 3.4 liter small tube PSE. I have one of these on my 3.4 liter car. It does not sound or perform any different than the large tube version. The version you will be getting (000 044 200 21) looks like this one (pic from Carnewal.com)

    Yeah, let us know if the newer unit works on the older cars. You may have to run a system test on the A/C first before coding - see the note at the start of that section in the manual.

    I don't think so... I think you need a 996.653.101.03.EFR (at least according to PET). MY01 and older used H01 A/C and MY02 and newer use H02. Either way I think you will need a PST2 to code the new hardware. It needs to be coded...
  11. Loren
    What year is your car? 996.653.101.09.EFR is for MY02 and newer.

    P1691 - Check Engine Malfunction Indication light (MIL) - Open Circuit That fault says you have a open wire in the CEL circuit somewhere between the DME and instrument cluster. Has the cluster been out recently? Could be just a loose connector. P1123 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold I don't see what your dealer is talking about with timing. This fault means that the DME can not lean the mixture enough (you are running too rich) on one bank. If this occurred right after getting gas I would reseat the gas cap - clear the fault and see if it occurs again.

    Unless you want to keep your old engine - that price is the exchange price. Your old engine exchanged for a newly rebuilt engine (with a two year warranty). Don't forget there are labor charges for installing it.
  15. Loren
    Yes, that is normal. If you turn the fan down (using the minus button) where no bars show it actually says "oFF".

    There were 8 different 17" wheels that have been used on the 996. Some are two piece construction with some paint and some alloy, and some are painted completely. Ask your installer if they are willing to pay $700-$1000 for EACH damaged wheel. If it were my car I would buy the tires from TireRack (or Costco if you prefer) and have a TireRack installer (see their site) do the work. You will need a good off-car spin balance and they should use high quality tape weights. I also think "new tires time" is also "alignment time" - no use ruining a new set of tires with poor alignment (IMHO). You will likely get a little more wear out of Pilot Sports - but they will cost more.

    Go to an Autozone - have the fault code(s) read for free - tell what they are. Just a guess but any O2 sensor that makes it past about 60-80K on Porsche is living on borrowed time.

    I have deleted your duplicate topic - please re-read the board Guidelines and Rules. As I stated above until you do the test without the belt you can not rule out a pulley or something else. I've heard a Carrera with a bad pulley and it sounded worse than your car.
  24. Loren
    You should have started the car with the belt off to ruleout the pulleys and A/C, alternator, and water pump. It is okay to run it for a few seconds for that test.
  25. Loren
    I don't know that they (boot and ring) can be separated...
