  1. Yeah, the early GT3 side skirts were epoxied on and the later ones are just double sided tape. Porsche sells a kit with attachment parts for the later side skirts it is: 000 044 801 65. You would need one for each side. The install procedure (for the later version) is covered in Carrera TSB 5/03 6658 Aerokit "Cup II" Installation Instructions (dated 5-23-03). If you want to see the older epoxy version then look at Carrera TSB 3/00 6315 Installing Cup Aerokit (dated 7-21-00).
  2. Yes, there likely is. See the post in the Boxster section here. Also, if your car has a very old MAF then the new one (which is a new design) may require the DME to be reprogrammed (only dealers or shops with a PST2 can do this).
  3. No, that is the only "official Porsche approved" plate. Later build cars had changes so that the bolts and hose do not protrude down as far.
  4. Have a look at this thread
  5. Some of it is in the TSB I mentioned above and more detail is (unfortunately) in the ($4500) Cayenne Service Manuals.
  6. Yeah, apparently they stopped putting the latches in MY2004 cars if you didn't order the hardtop with it. Have a look at this post
  7. The fan is actually a purge fan and only comes on when the engine is very hot. When it does come on it draws air into the engine comparment. I'd start with fuse B4 - that would be 2nd row down from the top and 4th fuse in from the left. Should be 15A. There is also a relay (relay 8) for the blower - back in the area behind the backseats where the DME is. There are only two wires to the fan. If you unplug the socket, the brown wire is ground and the red/black wire is +12V.
  8. Ok guys - 964 and 993 have been added. Please let me know if you see errors. I'll keep working on the others a little at a time... :beer:
  9. From the Litronics Installation TSB:
  10. Should be warranty (mine was). I don't think there was a TSB on this but to my understanding Porsche changed the part number and 00 version was to be removed from the shelves (as in "do not use"). The correct part number is 996 106 447 01 (it was about $14).
  11. If it has the old cap (part number ends in 00) it should be replaced - whether you see a leak or not.
  12. Have a look at TSB 1/02 6117 Modified Rear Hardtop Locks (dated 10-11-02). This TSB shows how to replace them so it should give you an idea as to what would be needed to install them.
  13. Any good electronics contacts cleaner should work fine. Also, make sure that none of the pins have pushed out of the connector socket in the car. This sometimes happens on older cars and the pin lock usually needs to be bent back out a little to keep the pin in the socket.
  14. Excellent... thank you! This may still take some time to enter all these into the database...
  15. Dec 6, 2004 Updated 997 Carrera and Carrera S. Both now include the newly announced Cabriolet versions.
  16. I believe the V6 Cayenne only has one drain plug (on the side of the oil pan). Here is the filter - note this is a different filter than is used on other Porsche models. The filter part number is: 955 107 561 00. It should include the o-ring gasket (955 107 444 00).
  17. Thanks... that site is some help but I had a 1976 911S and it doesn't show a 1976 911S model. What I need is models (i.e. 911, 911E, 911T, 911S, etc.) and body styles (i.e. coupe, cab, conv, targa, speedster, etc.) for various years (not just 911's).
  18. 964 section has been added. For the Garage I need to get all the possible model names/configurations for each year and car. If you know where i can easily get this list please let me know... otherwise it's going to be a lot of work.
  19. Get the gearbox model number if you can. G930 is a turbo 4 speed and G915 is the 5 speed. My RoW parts list only shows G930 or G915 for MY1980.
  20. 1. If you have the replacement switch ready you should lose very little oil - rememeber this is 75W-90 gear oil and is very thick. 2. Yes - according to my Oct 2004 parts list.
  21. Yes the Becker 2600 is the same as the CDC-3 (just without the Porsche logo). I don't know the Becker Mexico MD very well but as far as I know it does support CD changers. Have you tried cycling through the menu on the radio (after the CD player is installed)? Perhaps you need to set something on a menu?
  22. A single mass flywheel is a little harder to drive for the average person. You need a few more revs and practice to make clean starts. If you plan on racing then it is the ticket - if not, it might be a pain around town.
  23. ...and the microswitch wire.
