    Well, if the seal were to actually "blow out" (instead of just leaking a little) you will know it as your oil light will come on and all of your oil will be on the ground. I've only seen two of those - one owner shut it down and saved the engine and the other didn't. Both were covered under warranty. Time to stop worrying and start driving ;) :drive:

    Most of the 997 options not currently available say they will be available "between October and December" (according to the dealer newsletter from PCNA). I think they had better hurry - December is almost over. ;)

    All of the Porsche Sport Exhausts I know of default to open. If you manually close them it should be easy to hear the difference.

    Well, I know a 996 steering wheel will work on a 993 so it should. I don't know if the stalks will be in the way though. In the old days (showing my age) we cut the stalks on our race cars so you wouldn't accidentally hit them turning the wheel - but they could still be used.

    You will not have the cut out at approx. 45 kmh / 28 mph to approx. 68 kmh / 42 mph. if the electronics and vacuum controls were not installed. In a factory option install the electronics and vacuum stuff is always installed. If a dealer (or owner) installed then it is optional. Without the electronics and vacuum stuff the exhaust is always open.

    Remember there were two GT3 styles from the factory. The pre MY2002 GT3 (for RoW) and US Aerokit Cup and the MY04 GT3 that has the new style fenders and headlights. The bumpers are not interchangeable since the fenders and headlights are different. So if your car is a MY02 or newer you would want the MY04 GT3 style (or Aerokit II style) front bumper. I personally wouldn't worry about being a poser -- the fact is the GT3 style bumpers have larger openings for air to the radiators. I can't think of a good reason not to have that. I believe all of Gert's (Carnewal.com) bumpers are factory parts unless you specifically ask him to get another brand. BTW... RennTech.org does not have advertising sponsors per se. What the featured vendors here do (to be a featured vendor) is give RennTech.org members a discount - RennTech.org receives no advertising monies from any vendor.

    Pull the A-pillar trim inwards along the roof frame and windscreen frame. The A-pillar trim as of MY2000 is characterized by a changed curvature and the notch for the deformation element. Before installation, check that the deformation element is seated properly. Check sheetmetal clips and replace if necessary. Insert the A-pillar trim at the side of the windscreen frame (transition point to dashboard), clip in the A-pillar trim along the roof frame.

    For what year car? The A pillars changed in MY2000. And, do you want A pillar or defroster strip (lower piece on dash)?
  9. Loren
    The early kit and late kit are slightly different. The relays are different and the later kit has the option of a dash switch. PM me which set of instructions you want.

    Theoretically a good idea... but most folks will not have access to the tools they need. You need an engine support tool when you drop the transmission as the RMS is changed with the engine in the car (the transmission is removed to provide access). You also need to test the seal bore for to see that it is concentric and has the proper diameter (all the way around). Porsche dealers have go-no-go tool for this and if your engine fails - you get a new (rebuilt) engine. They are also instructed to check the intermediate shaft seal and replace the four crankcase (halves) bolts. In the end all of these things are supposed to minimize your risk of have a 2nd or 3rd occurrence.

    The coolant being low will not cause a CEL. A loose gas cap or oil filler cap will - among a host of other emissions based problems. If the car is running ok then start with the two caps. There are two horns behind the front bumper - it is fairly common to have one or both go bad. Some folks have replaced them with air horns and some put new factory ones back in.

    Try to keep your image size 1024x768 and less. They will download faster and use less disk space.
  14. Loren
    They all go to the speedometer A signal. They are used by other computers/relays in your car (i.e. PSE, PCM, etc.).

    Glad it's taken care of. I use a bottle of Cheveron Techron (in the gas) about every 3000 miles to keep things clean.

    This DIY now resides in the RennTech.org DIY Section here. Thanks ebaker!
  17. Loren
    I spent 4 weeks on it... then I sent it back.
  18. Loren
    ^ ^ ^ Also, covered in the DIY section... :D

    Have a look at the thread here

    Well, if it were mine I would take off the air cleaner from the throttle body and see if there is black carbon build up. If so, I would use some carb cleaner on the inside of the throttle body until it is clean. Since your car is egas you will need to move the butterfly with your finger to get inside the throttle body. It's okay to use a rag as long as it is lint and deposit free.
  22. Loren
    Some thoughts... Same tank of gas? How many miles on the car? When was the fuel filter changed last? Have you cleaned the throttle body (inside) with carb cleaner?
  23. Loren
    Good Luck - I had one of those and after several calls to the manufacturer we could never get it to stop throwing CELs. I am sure it was the problem because I could put the stock (BMC so almost stock) air intake back on, reset the CEL and it would not come on again.
  24. Loren
    Same grease and sealer for a 4WD Carrera.
  25. Loren
    Use the plugs Porsche recommends and save your self a lot of hassle. For MY98-01 use 999 170 207 91. The street markings are Beru 14 FGR 6 KQU.
