    Looks like two locking bolts (15) and one hex head screw (5). Perhaps an another owner can verify.

    I answered your question in your first post here. Please do not double post.
  3. Loren
    Yeah, that link is down. I made a PDF of it before it went away. Here it is. If the author requests that I remove this I will - otherwise I'll leave it here. Edit - this is now available here in the DIY section - Loren. Replacing the Coolant Reservoir on a MY99 996

    Just got to the appropriate DIY Article section (Carrera (996) - DIY Mods in this case) and post as you would on the forum. Please add any pics or diagrams. Here are the Guidelines (found at the top of all the DIY Articles sections). Once you have completed the article you (and only you) can edit it at any time. For the article to be approved it will be reviewed by a staff member and "approved" for public access within 24 hours.

    Yes, there is a list of "Porsche approved" transmission oils as well as motor oils in the (Contributor's Only) TSB section.

    After the spark plug, coil and wiring have been checked the OBD II manual suggests:

    The proper way to refill a Boxster coolant system is with a vacuum draw system. Where the coolant is drawn in by putting a vacuum on the system. See the threads here and here.

    ... if they are the same version DME it might work. Porsche has used DME 5.2.2, DME 7.2 and DME 7.8 in 996 Carrera's. Someone will also likely need to use a PST2 or (PIWIS) to transfer your VIN, mileage and operating hours to the other DME.

    Your car is a MY01 C4 right? Chances are it is time to find a new dealer... There is a TSB on this. (TSB 9/99 2015 Carrera 4 – Running Out of Fuel -- dated 10-4 -1999) If it is not this problem then you either need a new sending unit or instrument cluster - a 5 minute test with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester should determine that. My money is on the TSB problem.

    You need the Becker radio keys. $10-$15 on eBay or $1.80 from Becker or borrow a set from someone. Takes about 30 seconds with the right tools ;) (photos courtesy of Tom Morris)

    I would flush the brake fluid and then bleed the clutch and brakes.

    As long as the wheel offsets are 55 mm front and rear you should be okay.

    Darn, thought I might be able to give some hands on help.

    Did you read my response on your other thread? OBD code 1147, cannot find Please do not double post. Crossposting is a waste of time and valuable resources. If you post the same message in multiple forums, we will delete the ones we feel are inappropriate. This duplicate post is now closed.

    Have a look at TSB 9/04 9112 Navigation Module For PCM 2.1 Installation Instructions - dated Jan 10, 2005. It should give you some tips since it explains how to install the GPS antenna. You remove the cowl cover from inside the front trunk. The side pieces come off like when your replace your pollen filter (see Owner's Manual). The center piece is either held on by velcro or screws I can't remember. You may need to get to the electronic storage area for wiring etc. For that there are 6 metal screws and one plastic nut (on the left side). Where are you located?
  18. Loren
    It's 40 minutes to do the work after removing the transmission. Removing the tranmission takes 20-30 minutes max.

    cant read the thread (Porsche TSB 3531), do I have to make a donation in order to see that thread? or is there a shortcut or anything. TIA Yes, you need to be a Contributing Member to view TSBs. Since your car is under warranty your dealer should repair this. Tell your dealer to review TSB 6/05 3531 6-Speed Manual Transmission: Gear Shift Lever Does Not Return to Neutral - dated 7-29-2005. He needs to apply the fix described there - it should take about 40 minutes to do the work.
  20. Loren
    TSBs are published (and sent out to subscribers) every quarter - so I am expecting them any time now.
  21. Loren
    Not for the C2 (G96/00 and G96/01).

    There is no placement guide in the 997 Service Manual or the Aerokit Install TSB. Here is what the service manual has for the (997) Carrera and Carrera S. Carrera 1. Find the middle of the lid. 2. Position logo Carrera with the dimensions A and C Carrera logo dimension 129.6 mm+/−1 mm and B Carrera logo dimension 45 mm−1 mm and stick on lid. Carrera S 1. Find the middle of the lid. 2. Position logo Carrera with the dimensions A Carrera S logo dimension 175.6 mm+/−1 mm and B Carrera S logo distance 45 mm−1 mm and stick on lid. 3. Position logo S with the dimensions C Carrera S logo dimension 175.6 mm+/−1 mm and D Carrera S logo distance 39 mm+/−1 mm and stick on rear lid.

    You could use the Carrera Aerokit Cup harness here. Or rewire the pins as described in that same post.

    It would have been nice if you told us everything to start with... If you have a lot of smoke then oil (and/or coolant) is burning and you are going to get lots of O2 sensor codes (which you are). You need to determine and correct the cause of the smoke. Oil smoke smells like oil and coolant smoke smells sweet. or... perhaps the oil seperator was not installed properly and has slipped off?
