    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...

    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.
  8. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Loren
    I don't know that they (boot and ring) can be separated...
  19. Loren
    If you are talking about the shift boot - yes. 5 speed and 6 speed shift boots (and even knobs) are interchangeable.

    The throttle body does not have to be removed - but it is easier to clean with it off the car (IMHO). It can be easily taken off - four bolts and the electrical connector as I recall. Here is one I removed at a work on cars day last year (2000 Boxster). Tariq had the same problem with an occasional erratic idle. Cleaning and reinstalling did the trick. (my hand - Tool Pants pic) The car does not need to be running when cleaning since you will need to open the butterfly with your fingers to clean around and behind it.
  21. Loren
    I would check and see if your throttle butterfly is gummed up with carbon. Do a search here and you will see that many idle problems are related to carbon buildup and the throttle butterfly. Cleaning is also covered...
  22. Loren
    Not unless you re-wire the car for the fiber optic MOST system, add the MOST controllers, change instrument cluster and DME - so I would say no.
  23. Loren
    Tell us the codes when you get them...
  24. Loren
    The belt part number is: 996.102.151.66 - MSRP is $34.94 but you can likely get it for less from Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost - link near top of page)
  25. Loren
    I don't think you really want to take the dash off. You will end up with even more rattles. (pic courtesy Tool Pants) There is a 9 page TSB that deals with noises in the dashboard area - with a Porsche fix for each type of noise. Contributing Members here can view all TSBs online here.
