    Are you sure it is not 696 - CD-RADIO "PORSCHE CDR 220"?
  2. Loren
    That is all you need. Have a look at the installation instructions in the TT TSB section. Look for TSB 5/03 3408 Short Shift Kit Installation Instructions - dated Oct 24, 2003.

    Update - The nice folks at Durametric Software are sending me a unit to evaluate. I will need a couple of guinea pigs... uh... er... I mean volunteers that would like to help with the evaluation. I will need a 986 and TT volunteers (and I will use my 996). If you live in the SF Bay Area and want to volunteer - drop me a PM. ps. I have a PST2 so we should be able to fix anything that potentially might get messed up. Honestly - I have tested several OBD II testers and their is little chance of messing something up.

    There are TSBs for loose sway bars and upper strut mount bearings. What are the front wheel sizes and offsets (front and rear)? also tire sizes - front and rear?
  5. Loren
    I emailed them for an evaluation copy to test. I'll post here if we get it to evaluate...

    I wouldn't drain it - it is very difficult to purge the air out without a custom vacuum tool. I would use a clean catch pan - make the clamp change. Use a new screw-type hose clamp. Once you have the new clamp in place take the catch pan and filter it through a clean cloth (like a t-shirt) then add it back in. Do NOT leave the coolant cap off with the engine running it - it will spit out a lot of coolant. Use the air purge valve on top of the coolant tank. You can safely leave the air purge open for a few days - checking and topping daily up until the level no longer drops. If you need more coolant buy it from a dealer and mix it 50-50 with distilled water.

    Cup Rotors?

    Loren replied to GreigM's topic in 996 GT3

    996.351.409.9J Left Front Rotor (350 mm x 33 mm) 996.351.410.9J Right Front Rotor (350 mm x 33 mm) 996.352.405.90 Left Rear Rotor (330 mm x 28 mm) 996.352.406.90 Right Rear Rotor (330 mm x 28 mm)

    Motor mounts or CV joints? How many miles/kilometers on the car
  11. Loren
    Your car already has the same front strut braces that the racing GT3 Cup Cars use. So, IMHO no improvement with carbon fiber ones.
  12. Loren
    Yes.
  13. Loren
    Not a book per se.. but as a Contributing Member here you can use the Retail Price Search feature here (on the Online Docs Menu) to look look up current MSRP for any part number.

    MY03 and newer have the MOST fiber optic system - which are difficult to work around since you end up disabling the fiber optic system to hardwire in a conventional system. For a MY99 (to MY01) there is nothing special since it is a conventional system. Any good aftermarket shop should be able to help you.
  15. Loren
    Are you sure the tank is not leaking down on the hose?
  16. Loren
    If your tank and cap have never been changed then I would include them as suspect also. Some of the early MY99 cars had some hose clamp problems too. A picture of the bad hose and location will certainly help - cause there are a lot of hoses on these cars.
  17. Loren
    Do you have a photo of it?
  18. Loren
    Model? Year?
  19. Loren
    446 - center caps for your wheels with the Porsche logo. 236 - even though it is not on the current list we are pretty sure it is 18" Tires.
  20. Loren
    If your car is still under warranty - I certainly would not skip any scheduled service -- whether you do it yourself or have a shop do it. Don't give a dealer an excuse to refuse a warranty claim. As Orient Express said changing your own oil is very easy (20 to 30 minutes) and costs less than $50 in parts (oil and filter). Air filter takes about 5 minutes and the pollen filter 2 minutes. All are documented here on the site. Where are you located? If you are in Northern California you should come to one of our work on cars days - we'll even help you learn to do it yourself.

    Hmm... the washer pump gets it's power from the intermittent wiper relay - unless you have the rain sensor option - in that case the power comes from the rain sensor relay. It is just power and ground at the pump itself. Did you check the (brown) ground wire at the pump? If that is fine then the only thing left is the switch in the steering wheel.
  22. Loren
    Use the Carrera install TSB (4/98 9212 Installing Rain Sensor -dated Jan 26, 1999). It is the same procedure for TT.
  23. Loren
    The Manual Transmission oil change procedure came directly from the Porsche Service Manual. The fill should take about 2.25 liters.

    One recommendation (from another post) is to: "...contact the Insurance Commisioner's office in your state. If they were licensed to sell in your state then there is usually an insurance fund that all insurance companies pay into to cover claims on insolvent insurance companies. It may take you a while to recover, but they should cover you. However, if they were not licensed in your state, you are probably out of luck."
  25. Loren
    Since you do not have the rain sensor option I would look first at the intermittent wiper relay (since the pump signal goes through the same relay). it could be a bad stalk switch - that would be unusual (and difficult to change).
