    Hello again, and thank you for your swift reply. I might be a bit slow here but I cant figure this out. How do I get the cover off to access this, where are the bolts, if any. Best regards Lars Any time you are working with the airbag there is danger involved - as they are detonation devices. You might want to reconsider having a qualified shop do this before tackling this. If you want to proceed (at your own risk) here are the instructions to remove the passenger airbag assembly: 1. Remove ignition key. 2. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery. 3. Remove the air guide at the bottom right. 4. Undo the airbag unit from below and remove it rearward to the passenger's seat. 5. Disconnect the electrical plug connection. 6. Pullout the hinge pin on the airbag unit and remove the panel. When re-installing the torque on the two screws should not exceed 15 ft lb (20 Nm).

    Porsche recommends: Pirelli Winter W240 Snowsport N1 Pirelli Winter W240 Snowsport N3 Those are the only winter tires on their "approved" list.

    My post in that thread HAS the intructions from Porsche. Did you read what it says? "If the insulation strips are missing, loose, or have slipped out of position, apply new narrow felt tape strips." You likely need to replace the felt strips. 993 555 545 00 Narrow felt tape (15mm wide) - retail $1.50 (as of Sept 2005)

    It is just held on with clips so it should just pull off. As I recall there is a cable that attaches to the back so be careful of that when removing. Chances are the clips are loose or broken.

    From the service manual:

    Fuel is usually black smoke. First, I would look for any oil leaking at the bottom of the engine. Also check the coolant level as coolant in the oil will also give white-ish smoke. Any oil consumption? How many miles?

    It is really helpful if you list: · Model year · Body Style (i.e. C2 Coupe, C4 Cab, C4S Cab, etc.) · Transmission type (i.e. 6 speed or Tiptronic) · Interior color (when relevant) · Country specific information (LHD, RHD, RoW, US, Canada) or is this a TT?

    It sounds like a bad CD drive to me. The good news is it should be covered under warranty.
  10. Loren
    Is there a CD (DVD) in the drive? If so, does it make the noise without it?
  11. Loren
    The code will likely clear itself in a few more "drive cycles". If it doesn't hen you can have read and cleared at Autozone or any shop with an OBD II scan tool.

    Welcome! Did you know we have a wonder search function on this site? Here is what I got when I did a search for airbag cover. Passenger Airbag cover squeaks

    That was the last PCM 1 CD/Computer produced so I would assume it is 16 bit.

    Can you identify which items numbers?
  18. Loren
    Yes, the RMS (Rear Main Seal) is the flywheel side crankshaft seal.

    It most cases (I've seen) the plugs were properly gapped from the dealer. That is of course if you don't any of them. ;) I would rate this job as a 4 or 5. Not too difficult with the right tools - impossible without the right tools. I've read some folks have taken the muffler off to get top the plugs furthest back on each side - but with the right ratchet and extension(s) that is a lot of unnecessary work (IMHO). Expect 1-3 hours your first time.

    I see the roof console bulb change on page 232 of the owners manual.
  21. Loren
    I got a reply back from Rich Calnan at xenonmods.com. He says both shipped but he will look into them for you. Please email him directly about your missing order(s) -rjcalnan@xenonmods.com.
  22. Loren
    Sorry, I haven't tried that on a 997 yet. The service manual (as expected) does not have that part yet. I think your best bet is to follow the bulb change instructions in the owners manual and then look to get the cover off. Then perhaps you can see how the rest is removed.

    The radiators are the same parts. It looks like a bunch of hoses, radiator mounting brackets, and air ducts. If you want the full parts listing PM me.
