    It is extremely important to follow the TSB instructions for replacement and torque of these parts. 999 385 004 09 New/Coated crankcase bolt, M6 x 35 (4 ea. required per vehicle) - (about $1 each) 900 385 275 09 New/Coated bolt for intermediate shaft, M6 x 20 (3 ea. required per vehicle) - (about $0.40 each) 999 113 490 41 Shaft seal (RMS) - (about $17.02 each)

    For Japan both Mobil 1 and Castrol are sold in Japan. As well, so is Motul, Shell, and WAKO'S Chemical Company Wako's ex Synthe 5W-40. Only Contributing Members can view TSBs online (as well as a Contributors Only Forum, they can send attachments with PMs, image storage limits are raised for all Contributing Members, RennTech.org email addresses are available and now a personal Blog.). Contributions help defer the cost of running this site and providing this information to you. No one has to contribute - but almost 10% of the members do. Without contributions this site would either have to go subscription or cease to exist. Considering a the lowest priced Porsche is around $50,000 (US) and highest priced around $400,000, a single set of Carrera service manuals are $2091.10 - perhaps RennTech.org a $25 (or more) donation to RennTech.org is good investment?

    The list is 5 pages long (all Contributing Members have access to it as well as other TSBs). I listed the most popular US brands in the DIY. What brand are you interested in?

    Have a look here

    There is a certain amount of adjustment with the single bolt that holds the tip on. Loosen it just enough to move it and adjust as follows: A= 25-26 mm (up to and including MY01) A= 22 mm (from MY02 on) If you can't get them equal then the whole muffler assembly (for each side) will need to be loosened and moved.

    Porsche use Optimol Optipit for bearings and normal grease for some sealing surfaces (o-rings).

    If you have recently had RMS problem fixed or transmission work then check and see that they hooked the wires back up to the switch on the transmission. If not, then check the wires from the transmission switch and if they are okay then replace the switch on the transmission.

    There are two TSBs on retrofitting PCM2; one for PCM2 and one for PCM2.1. Contributing Members can view TSBs online (as well as a Contributors Only Forum, they can send attachments with PMs, image storage limits are raised for all Contributing Members, RennTech.org email addresses are available and now a personal Blog.).

Considering a the lowest priced Porsche is around $50,000 and highest priced around $400,000, a single set of Carrera service manuals are $2091.10, and a single CarFax is $20 - perhaps a $25 (or more) donation to RennTech.org is good investment?

    If you don't have NAV you don't have PCM. PCM2 (or 2.1) is the only version for Cayenne.
  11. Loren
    Ok - I'm confused whether you have PCM 2 or not? Here is the info if you do: TSB 12/03 9110 PCM2 With Bose Sound System: Sporadic Sound Failure (dated 11-24-03) describes to your dealer what they are supposed to do to fix this problem. It involves an amp update (new different amp) AND a software update (that must be done once the new amp is installed). Currently PCM2.1 says it is only for MY05 and newer... but you could always try.
  12. Loren
    Do you have PCM2?
  13. Loren
    It pivots like it is hinged.

    There is a DIY pinned in the DIY Forum here

    There is no recall per se... Ask your dealer to see: Cayenne Quality-Improvement Workshop Campaign Fall/Winter 2004 Campaign Check #3 W503 Workshop Campaign (for Kessy and without Kessy) Door Handle does not return to rest position after actuating 4,469 Vehicles involved BTW... there are 18 total campaign fixes for Cayennes with specific VIN numbers

    Aileen was an exception since last time she stayed and cleaned up the mess others left...

    On a single cylinder - I think you have to look at bad spark plug, bad coil, or bad wire on that cylinder. Only other possibility is a sticking fuel injector (on number 6). Anything else would throw a fault code elsewhere.
  18. Loren
    I suggest you get it replaced by a good glass shop or dealer - You really don't want water in your Porsche. The sealant is a special epoxy-like sealant that takes 3 to 4 hours to dry.

    Gt3 Ride Height Spec

    Loren replied to Loren's topic in 996 GT3

    Maybe a little more tire wear... but improved handling.

    I used a Q-tip to push the "rubberized" sticker material until it would peel off in sections. You need to be patient and work on a small section at a time. Probably about 30 minutes per visor.

    Uh... the Boxster has a higher percentage (60%) German parts that the Carrera (55%)? (Even though the Boxster is made in Finland and the Carrera in Germany :lol: :lol: :lol: )
  22. Loren
    1. Usually the car will run very rough and likely throw a CEL. 2. For a MY99 C2 (no egas) that is the correct part number. (Current retail price is $433.38). 3. Without excess oil from over-oiled aftermarket or other debris damaging it. Most likely 5-10 years minimum. When my car was under warranty the dealer replaced the MAF when they didn't need to. Problem was actually something else - so it can be mis-diagnosed.

    XKN - speaker covers in root grain maple, dark (my list says RoW only) XKS - center nozzle bracket in root grain maple, dark (my list says RoW only) ;)
  24. Loren
    Just go to the "MY04/MY05 Order Guides" link near the top of the page and pick Boxster. You will get a PDF of all the standard features and options.

    Have a look at the DIY here it has everything you need.
