    Item 5 is: 997.553.843.00 Sound absorber (left) 997.553.844.00 Sound absorber (right) Are you sure that is the part you want? Perhaps you could post a pic from your car...
  2. Loren
    Both are a good choice (IMHO). Most of the Cup Cars are running either the GT3 (race) swaybars or H&R. Seems to me the harder decision is what size - but then that depends on wheel and tire size/types and how you want the car to handle.
  3. Loren
    Do you mean item 25 (cover, shift gate)?
  4. Loren
    It will depend on your VIN...
  5. Loren
    I personally would reuse it after filtering it (if it is as green and clean as you say). You will still need to top up the tank and then add even more after bleeding the system for a few days.

    ...or replace the ashtray with the open tray like I did. It fits my cell perfectly.

    Is this an RoW car? If so, I think there is one alarm horn and one alarm siren. If you disconnect the siren then the lights will flash.
  8. Loren
    That maybe from refilling... or he may have reversed the pic. They are different and the bottom line here is you do not want a coolant cap that ends in 00. Even new 00 caps have been know to not hold pressure.

    Contributing Member geoff posted this pic some time back (and I think tool Pants posted pics too). Old on left - new on right.

    Does the red low coolant light (next to the 250 mark) come on when you turn the ignition switch to "on"? If not, the bulb could be out. Secondly I would look to see if the sensor is plugged in - it will be hard to see since it is on the bottom of the tank. If it turns out to be the sensor you may just want to update the tank too (if it hasn't been done) - since it has to come out to get to the sensor.

    Uh... the MAF reads air flow and intake air temperature - period. The O2 sensors read NOx, CO, and HC before and after the cats - period. Both report their readings constantly to the DME - the DME then adjusts the richness of the mixture (via fuel injectors) to adjust the air/fuel mixture for the proper burn. When the mixture can not be adjusted properly (with the threshold range of operation) the DME signals a fault code. What bother me is that he only has the P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold - or one side of the engine. Seems to me that you would likely get a P1128 (Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold) also if it were an MAF problem. Are you sure you obly have a P1130 and not a P1128 also? A P103 is pretty unusual - I would check the connector to the MAF and make sure the wires and pins are good condition. All indications do point to a bad MAF or MAF connector.

    The 00 caps will not hold pressure - then leak. If you put a 00 cap on a cap tester it will fail to hold pressure - the design of the 01 cap sealing and pressure relief is different than the 00.

    The TSB says the new control spring is "as of": Engines manufactured since December 5, 2005 as of engine numbers: M96.25 61 6 04763 M96.26 62 6 03668 The date is not that important (except that if your car was built before that date it couldn't have the new control spring). If your engine number is below the engine numbers above (depending on model) -- then you need the new control spring.

    I think you will need to disconnect the heating pad from the rest of the car then measure the resistance across the pad - if it is open (infinite) then the pad must be bad.

    I would guess the better part of a whole day. The dash pics were taken at a dealership. I think Tool Pants said it took a tech 5-6 hours.

    Please do not type in ALL CAPS - on the web that is SHOUTING. Thanks. 996.561.021.03 Drive Mechanism (to MY03) -- US MSRP $571.09 (as of Feb 2006). Talk to the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost at the top of the page). I don't know if they can ship to Canada or not but it's worth a try since their price will be much less than MSRP.

    It's a lot of work. Are you sure? Here are some of Tool Pants pics from a Boxster.

    P0446 - EVAP Canister Shutoff Valve (Function) - Below Lower Limit The task of the shutoff valve is to seal the purge air line to the EVAP canister during the fuel tank leak test. Potential causes: Purge air line blocked. Flow resistance of EVAP canister too high. 1 - EVAP canister purge valve 2 - EVAP canister 3 - Purge air 4 - Tank 5 - Pressure sensor 6 - Shutoff valve 7 - Operating purge valve 8 - To intake manifold 9 - Vacuum control valve

    Interesting filter changes from Porsche. The 986 series (and 996 series) have used part numbers: 996.107.020.52, 996.107.020.53, 996.107.020.54 and now the parts list shows 996.107.020.55. The MY03 and newer 996 says to use 996.107.020.60 The Cayman (as does the 997) shows 996.107.020.53 only. The 987 shows 996.107.020.60 only. Very interesting since all these cars use the same basic engine. I do not know the differences. Tool pants and I tried to see a difference between the .52 and .53 - we couldn't see any. I guess it's time to go visit our friendly parts department again and ask to see the 5 filters... :lol:

    Yes, I sent an email to your PayPal email address.

    Liftup the clothes hook bracket 1 from below with plastic spatula and carefully pullup and off.
  22. Loren
    Which item number?

    1. The 3.8 liter engine has a switch resonator installed in the air cleaner housing. In order to remove the air cleaner housing, the cable plug must be disconnected from the electric switch−over valve 1. 2. Unclip the tandem pump vacuum line from the air cleaner housing. Note - the rubber sleeves for securing the air cleaner housing Disconnect plug connection on the hot film mass air flow meter 2. Press together the locking lever on the plug and pull the plug off the flange. Unclip the connection lead at the omega clips. 3. a. Undo the threaded sleeve for the rubber moulding of the air cleaner housing from the throttle body 1 b. Unclip the oil filling pipe from the air cleaner housing 3 and then lift the air cleaner housing out of the fastening lug 4. 4. Unclip the switch−over valve for the switch resonator from the housing bracket 1 detach the vacuum line from the housing 2 and disconnect from the resonator. Note - The air cleaner housing should not be cleaned on the outside with strong cleaning agents. 5. Lift the air cleaner housing completely out of the engine compartment. If necessary, the outside of the housing can be cleaned using a damp cloth and some washing−up liquid. Then, lay the housing on a soft surface to avoid scratching the painted surface. "Then remove the 8 screws". Install is in the reverse order. If this works okay then let me know and we'll move this to the 997 DIY section.

    Take the A/C control out of "Auto" by using the fan switch (minus button) to turn the completely off -- keep clicking the minus button until the display says "off". If the noise goes away then it is the Heating/Cooling fan.
