    996 106 147 56 Water reservoir - retail $255.79 (as of Sept 2005). I'm sure Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can beat that.
  2. Loren
    Where are you located?
  3. Loren
    There are two banks of relays. One for the engine DME, AC compressor, start lock, secondary air pump, and the spoiler extend and retract in the rear trunk (behind the carpet). The other (for most of the relays) is up under the dash on the left side - above the fuse panel.
  4. Loren
    Yes, this is a common problem (you can find many posts on it here). Porsche is on a fourth generation of that tank. If you post the model year, exact model and whether the car is US/Canada or RoW I will get you the latest part number. There is also a link here to a DIY - likely a 5 or 6 or 1-10 scale.

    Performance Products has them but I think Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) is your best bet.

    Are you sure your battery is good? How old is the battery?

    I wouldn't start with the MAF. I would start by checking the seals on the gas cap and oil cap. And, make sure they are properly seated. They I would start looking and listening for air leaks - checking the hoses. Then I might clean the MAF with electronic contact cleaner. I wouldn't mess with a $400 part unless I am sure that is the problem and ready to replace it - IMHO of course.

    We don't publish manuals here. Why don't you tell us what your problem is and perhaps we can help?

    19 mm Here is what use to loosen - use a torque wrench to tighten.

    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold This means that the fuel mixture on the cylinder 1-3 side is too lean - that is, the DME can not increase richness enough to compensate for the lean condition. The most obvious cause of this is an intake leak on that side and or bad readings from the MAF. Beyond the air leak it could be a bad seal on the gas cap or oil cap, a bad MAF, a bad oil separator, etc. You need more info to fully diagnose the fault. You should find a shop with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester so they can confirm whether the MAF is seeing erratic air pressures.

    IMHO no not much. Is does get louder at RPM increases but at idle and low RPM it is pretty mild.
  13. Loren
    What year and how many miles please?
  14. Loren
    Sure, it will likely be easier to get at with the wheel off. Then just remove the plastic rivets and any screws. I would keep some extra rivets onhand as sometimes they break from age/weather, etc.
  15. Loren
    Use the Illustration Zoom option to get a closer look and then perhaps you can see the shape of each bracket better.
  16. Loren
    It can be. You should get your option codes from your service book or sales paperwork. It is possible to order the soft touch leather in the front and regular leather in the rear.
  17. Loren
    Yes, dead center between the engine and transmission.
  18. Loren
    Contributing Member LVDell did that on his car. His details and pics are here

    Be very careful of the cold starts problem. That vintage (including my 76 S) were notorious for blowing the (CIS) air box because of the cold start valve leaking. Later cars and some cars were retrofit with a "pop-off" valve (flapper) to try and stop the problem. If you have to change the CIS air box the engine has to come out. Make sure your car has the 11 blade cooling fan on the engine as some of the 75 and 76 cars were shipped with a 5 blade fan that just plain did not do the job. Inspect or have some one inspect the head studs - as the engine aged these tended to snap or pull the threads out of the case. If you catch them early these are not to hard to replace with the reinforced studs. If the car has a lot of miles the chain ramps should be inspected/replaced. While you are there you can upgrade to the later chain covers that had a built in oiler and then that problem will go away too. Now with all that said these were great running cars and mine had 187,000 miles on it when I sold it. And a good deal of that was track time... :D

    Yes. You may have the RMS problem if you leave your car in the garage and never drive it - or if you drive it every day.
  21. Loren
    You might get some more data if you have someone read the ABS and PSM codes - which will take a PST2 or PIWIS tester.
  22. Loren
    The new seal is for the 996, 986, 997, and 987. There are a few hundred (according to a dealer I talked to today) in the US. I suspect they are already in product units of the 997 and 987. Don't get your confidence too high this will be the 3rd or 4th seal they have tried. I for one (I now have my 2nd RMS leak) hope this new seal does the trick.
  23. Loren
    You can mute a CDR-23 by pressing the TP button one. To unmute press TP again or turn the volume knob.

    996 642 131 05 = PCM2 for MY03 and newer Replaced by 996 642 131 06 replaced by 996 642 131 07
