    I know folks that have removed them by drilling out the pop-rivets. So, I guess you could do the same and then pop-rivet it back in.

    P0410 Secondary Air Injection System, Bank 1 – Below Limit Now we know neither side of the engine (O2 sensors) are seeing the auxillary air pump output. The sound of the pump sounds like a small vacuum cleaner to me. Usually it runs for a couple of minutes at start up. The pump is located in the left rear most area of the engine compartment. Item 1 below (air injection system).

    Cost reduction? vendor change? who knows?

    Just as clarification - the Porsche monthly published price list is MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price). Dealers are free to charge as much or as little as the want. Sunset Imports gives great prices and outstanding service to RennTech.org members - which is why they are here!

    Hmm... my OBD II 7.8 DME manual says: I don't show a P0411 for TT. P1411 Secondary Air Injection System, Bank 2 - Below Limit Check: Check function of secondary air injection pump Check relay Check power supply for open circuit Check ground line of secondary air pump etc., etc. 12 tests in all. You should be able to hear the secondary air injection pump at cold start up. If not, check the fuse - the air pump fuse is on the relay support panel behind the rear seats. It should be 40A. Then check the connections in the engine compartment.

    The TSB says they don't stock/sell the old ones anymore... so unless you found a dealer with old stock I think you are out of luck. I guess you could go 3rd party.

    The numbers are correct. 996 628 901 08 Both divers side and passenger wiper (US) 996 628 045 00 (replaces 996 628 901 07) Rear window wiper The design was changed in TSB 1/03 9227 Wiper Blade Noise - Squeaking and Rubbing - dated 3-7-03.

    It's not that simple - it is a 5 page TSB. You have to modify the wiring that is on the car wiring harness. Some dealers will do this fix as warranty or goodwill.

    Assuming you did not take the steering wheel off or remove the seats with the battery connected. Then this is pretty commonly the problem: TSB 1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On: Fault Codes 46 and 49 - dated 7-21-04 gives full instructions on how to replace the drivers side and/or passenger side seat buckles with new ones. About 2-3 hours to do both. (Also common problem in pre MY04 Carrera, and Boxster as well as TT/GT2/GT3.)
  12. Loren
    I would bleed the clutch slave and see if you get any air bubbles (see the DIY in the 996 DIY section as it is the same for Boxster).
  13. Loren
    Why were the calipers taken off? What else was done? Did you bleed the clutch? - which is on the same circuit.
  14. Loren
    Compare the headlight openings on your current bumper and the new one - if they are not the same then it is the MY02 and newer bumper.
  15. Loren
    Have your dealer read TSB 3/05 4078 Rattling Noises From The Area Of The Front And Rear Axle - dated 7-6-05. It specifically covers these noises and their cure.
  16. Loren
    Sorry, not off the top of my head. Maybe someone will know someone and suggest here...
  17. Loren
    Don't have the key in the ignition and don't connect the battery with the seats or steering wheel out. Where are you located?
  18. Loren
    The only way to reset the air bag light is with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. All dealers have these, some independent shops and a few individuals.
  19. Loren
    I think that could be an early version of the late model one... unless that is the fab number. The mk 1 GT3 bumper was 996 505 980 03 G2X. The later updated (MY02 and newer) is 996 505 983 03 G2X. It likely would not fit a pre MY02 car without new fenders and lights, etc.
  20. Loren
    Talk to your dealer - there is a late TSB that talks about BOSE amplifiers needing a software update. The TSB describes primarily PCM2 systems but it might be needed on radio/BOSE systems too.
  21. Loren
    You are topping off the tank with Pentosin CHF 11 S? - the one in the front trunk (that is shared with power steering). You should also check the level in with power steering with the dipstick in the engine compartment to make sure fluid is getting back there. To bleed you pump with the clutch pedal until Pentosin emerges without air bubbles at the bleeder valve of the servo unit (use a catch bottle). This needs to be pumped about 10 time with the engine running. If that doesn't help then let me know and I'll post the testing for the accumulator and the pressure−regulating valve.

    Do a search here this has been covered many many times...
  23. Loren
    Very unusual... I wonder if something hit it? I think you are going to have to replace the drop link on that side. You might want to consider replacing both so the wear is even. For an RoW car the part numbers are: 996 343 069 03 Left drop link - US retail 41.38 USD (as of Oct 2005) 996 343 070 03 Right drop link - US retail 41.38 USD
  24. Loren
    Yes, it can be turned on with a PST2 in less than 2 minutes. You will get outside temperature as the default display. Where are you located (as I have a PST2)? You can add a stalk or add a dash switch. Do a search here and/or order Tool Pants DVD for a DIY.

    If P1128 or P1130 (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation. Check exhaust system for leaks. Check for air leaks in intake air system. If nothing obvious there then we need see your MAF readings.
