    I don't know that the lights have anything to do with the early build car updates - I always thought it was to better distinguish the Carrera from the Boxster. Certainly the late MY99 build cars have a number of small problems fixed (i.e. coolant expansion tank, gas cap and oil filler cap seals, o-rings on oil return pipes, clutch boost spring, etc.). Changes are made during production all the time so cars that were early builds still may have many of the later build fixes. That and/or the dealer may have fixed most of them. Your car's build date can be found a sticker on the driver's door frame.

    There is a DIY here that Contributing Member Scouser wrote up (with pics).

    That is a right muffler only for a MY01 or older Carrera.

    Only the early MY99 (US) cars had amber lens(es) (not bulbs). My June 99 build Carrera and all later Carrera's had clear (H2) headlights and tail lights. I upgraded to Litronics have which always been clear.

    More than you will ever want to know... DuPont Krytox®

    That is the plastic cover that supposed to go in the black plastic cover over your firewall/battery/firewall. It is supposed to allow you to read the VIN easier. :lol: Mine fell off a long time ago... it's in my toolbox now.

    Unless you can find a used one on eBay or at a salvage yard you are looking at: 996 653 101 03 EFR CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT $617.14 (retail Dec 2004)

    986 605 115 01 Throttle Body $332.85 (retail as of Dec 2004)

    2.5, 2.7, or 3.2 liter?
  17. Loren
    Do mean the INSIDE mirror? or the OUTSIDE mirrors? (Porsche sells both)
  18. Loren
    For MY99 to MY01 you will need: Item 1 - 986 552 113 02 A10 Carpet Lining (black) Item 2 - 999 507 533 02 Clamps (2 or 4 I think) Item 3 - 986 552 513 02 A10 Left Carpet Cover (black) Item 3 - 986 552 514 02 A10 Right Carpet Cover (black) Item 5 - 986 552 241 02 A03 Cover (black plastic) or Item 5 - 986 552 127 00 A11 Cover in Leather (black)

    They are not factory (or optional) wheels for the 996 series. I do not know the brand.
  20. Loren
    I think your car is a 993 (not a 996) and I think the problem you describe is fairly common on 993's. Here is a copy of post from the PCA website where a person fixed this problem without spending a lot of money.

    Loren, do you know how much porsche charges for the mirrors? I'd imagine its quite a bit since their markup on CF is rediculous. The "retail" prices I have (as of Dec 2004) are: 996 731 619 30 Left Door Mirror (Carbon) $966.24 996 731 620 30 Right Door Mirror (Carbon) $966.24 It pays to shop around - try Sunset Imports (link at top of the page). They sell at dealer cost plus 15% handling and shipping cost -- AND -- no sales tax.

    The click is normal. This is the microswitch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from accidentally starting the car with the car in gear.
  23. Loren
    Have alook at this thread
  24. Loren
    Do you mean like this?
  25. Loren
    We will need a photo and/or the part number on the wheel to tell you.
