  1. Even though the part numbers are 997 numbers the parts diagram looks just like the 996. So the answer based on that would be no adjustment for the brake pedal. The clutch pedal should have a very small amount of adjustment by using the the threaded rod on the clutch master cylinder.
  2. For what it's worth, on my XP Home laptop I had to rename the 'porsche.scr' file 'ssporsche.scr' for it to show up in the list of screen savers for me to choose from. This may save someone else some time if it happens to not show up in the list. Dwayne Give me a few minutes and I'll upload a new zip with the filename changed to ssporsche.scr. Done.
  3. If you are on Windows XP you can just right click and choose install (once the file is renamed to ssporsche.scr).
  4. Lots of folks have been asking for this so it has now been added to the Porsche Manuals section.
  5. Okay, thanks to drpaulmarsh you can download it below: Screensaver (about 12 MB) Unzip and follow Paul's instructions above. I could not find any copyright information on the screensaver. Naturally it will be removed if it is proven otherwise.
  6. I think the only fault type that can throw a CEL is the DME (Pcodes). P0501 is a type 1 fault and will definitely cause a CEL. Why that is considered an emission fault is beyond me. The other faults should cause an ABS and or PSM light (if you have PSM).
  7. We have added the following new TSBs: Boxster (987) 3/04 9191 Passive Handset For Telephone Module (I No. 668) (dated 1-14-05) Carrera (997)/Carrera S (997) 10/04 9191 Passive Handset For Telephone Module (I No. 668) (dated 12-15-04) 9/04 9112 Navigation Module For PCM 2.1 Installation Instructions (dated 01-10-05)
  8. Try Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost at the top of the page (Sunset Imports). Sunset Imports can likely get them for you but it could take a few weeks.
  9. Do you have part numbers (look on the inside of the wheel) or offsets?
  10. The 8.75 liters (9.25 quarts) in the DIY comes from the Porsche Carrera Service Manual. This section was updated in the service manual in 2001 - the last year of 3.4 liter engine. I always put in 9 quarts when I change my oil - as this puts me well within the marks. There is just as must danger (if not more) in having too much oil as there is in having too little. My advice is don't worry about the top and bottom marks - just keep the oil level between them.
  11. The fixing instructions (and cautions) are here in this thread. All I have sent folks is some additional disassembly instructions.
  12. I think the brown wire is ground. All the switch does is bring the signal at the instrument cluster to ground to raise or lower the spoiler. Power for the spoiler motors is switched through the relays.
  13. I got my Torx E12 (for the seat bolts) here.
  14. P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold Having just P1130 means your problem is on the cylinder 4-6 side of the engine only. The most common problem for this fault is an intake or vacuum air leak.
  15. I had mine out a couple years ago and I can't remember what holds that seat bolt. I think it might be a nutsert - a flat metal clip with threads but I don't see that on the parts list. I guess if you could get a screwdriver or something else on it to stop the rotation you might be able to get the seat bolt out. (Don't think I've ever seen one that tight.) Good Luck! On the carpet - pretty much everything that bolts through the carpet must come out.
  16. What you likely hear when you start the engine is not the purge fan but the secondary air injection pump (sounds like a Hoover to me). That air pump only runs when the air/fuel mixture needs it to meet emissions. Usually that is at startup when the engine is cold and when the engine comes back to idle - like at a stoplight after exiting a freeway.
  17. Yes, fit wise and looks for most part should be the same. An aluminum shift knob (like the factory option one in my MY99 car) has the Porsche logo in black only. The newer ones have the logo in color.
  18. Yes, but (IMHO) keep the proportion the same. In a Carrera with all that weight in the rear you want to keep the rears 4 psi higher than the fronts. So if you were to lower the rears to say 36 psi then the fronts should be 32 psi.
  19. Well, you could add the GT3 sway bars. You would need to add the mount points for the drop links though. I think Carnewal.com, TRG and a few others sell these. Or you could go the whole way and put on PSS-9's coilovers with the GT3 swaybars.

  21. Fronts - yes. Rears - no.
  22. ATLANTA, FEBRUARY 3, 2005 --- Porsche Engineering Group, a subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, has rolled out two very special open two-seaters after several months of development. These prototypes, offering two comfortable seats and ample cargo room, were commissioned by Hans-Peter Porsche, the grandson of the company's founder, Ferdinand Porsche, and created especially for use on the golf course. This unique golf car not only bears the Porsche logo on its front lid, but is reminiscent of the Porsche Cayenne in many other features - albeit at a scale of 1:2. Measuring 106.3 inches (2.7 meters) in length and 49.2 inches (1.25 meters) in width, this new golf car comes with an exact rendition to the last detail of the Cayenne's engine compartment lid, front wheel arches, headlights, front fascia, and 20-inch wheels. Given the open loading space, the rear section does not have all the visual features and the precise looks of the Cayenne. But even here the oval exhaust tailpipes, the rear lights and the original stainless-steel loading sill carry over striking design features clearly identifying the new golf car as a miniature Cayenne. The car is powered by a 3.2-bhp electric motor driving the rear wheels through direct transmission and can attain cruising speeds of 19 mph (30 km/h). Before the two Cayenne-look golf cars were delivered, they were put through their paces on the test track at Porsche's Development Center in Weissach, Germany. Only then, after Porsche's development engineers were fully satisfied with their test candidates, were the cars cleared for delivery to the Spanish island of Majorca, where they will be used on the prestigious Alcanada Golf Course as of spring 2005. No decision has been taken yet whether the Porsche Engineering Group will be building further golf cars, thus offering the "Mini-Cayenne" to golf courses in other parts of the world. Porsche Engineering Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Porsche AG that provides engineering services to OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry around the globe. Its North-American headquarters are based in Troy, Michigan. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, Ga., and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche 911, Boxster and Carrera GT sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 250 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 204 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service. ### For more information, contact: Bob Carlson (770) 290-3676 or Martin Peters (770) 290-3676
