    The manual for PCM 2 is online here for download. Have a look in Porsche Manuals.
  3. Loren
    Sorry, I do not have the manual for PCM 1. I sent TD in DC the calibration instructions from the service manual.

    Doing the work - less than 15 minutes. Waiting for the oil to completely drain - 20 minutes. Total - 30 - 35 minutes.

    You've got mail...

    Ahh... did you look in Tech Tips? ;) here

    The unit at Cruthfeild, is Harman Kardon the same as Becker unit? Harman/Becker Automotive Systems GmbH is a subsidiary of US-based Harman International Industries Inc. Harmon/Becker Automotive Systems GmbH also owns: AKG harman/kardon Infinity JBL Lexicon Soundcraft

    I don't think it will fit a stock bumper - but I have never tried. It is held in place with 11 plastic rivets... so if the contour did fit then you would likely need to drill the 11 holes.

    Have a look at this thread

    Do you mean the aerokit lip spoiler?
  11. Loren
    Unless the clutch disk was worn through to the rivets I doubt there is any damage to the flywheel. I would just clean it and re-install it.

    911 521 817 00 01C Control Button in Satin Black you may also need 311 881 247 Clamp (that holds it in place).

    I believe the 16 is a leather covered side vent with the vent itself in "Aluminum-Look" (image from Porsche UK site) Whereas the 17 is the whole thing in "Aluminum-Look"
  14. Loren
    Correct.

    996 613 155 10 A05 TT Spoiler Switch (Mat Black) Mat Black was used on all cars MY02 on.

    I don't like chemical strippers because some porus metals can absorb the chemical and make the new paint bubble and flake off. I think glass bead blasting is the safest way. To me it makes sense to rebuild the caliper (pistons, seals, etc.) after doing the bead blasting.
  17. Loren
    Here is how I do it... Loosen the clamping bolt a lot. Then use a screwdriver to pry it over the edge of the exhaust tip. It will take some muscle. Worst case take the bolt all the way out.
  18. Loren
    Most likely a loose sway bar or shock mount. There was a TSB for earlier cars about bad strut mount bearings but, I have see this on a couple of newer cars too.
  19. Loren
    Or... perhaps one or more of the ignition coils on the plugs is not seated properly.

    Hmm... his hosting site must be down. Let me see if I have copies... if so I will redirect the pics.

    Switch-on conditions for engine compartment fan (this fan pulls air into the engine compartment) The engine compartment fan is switched on when the engine compartment temperature is > 80 degrees C OR the coolant temperature is > 102 degrees C. After-running of engine compartment fan If the ignition is switched off and the engine compartment temperature is more than 60 degrees C , the DME control module remains in readiness for another 20 minutes. During this time, the engine compartment temperature is retrieved every 10 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is > 85 degrees C , the engine compartment fan is switched on for 20 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is still > 85 degrees C after this time, the fan remains on for a further 30 seconds. Remove the wheel and caliper. Then remove the two screws that hold the rotor on. Remove the rotor. Installation is the reverse. The caliper bolts are 63 ft-lbs and the wheel bolts are 96 ft-lbs. Most likely the AC. But not normal. Could be the pressure is too high and the AC relief valve is venting.

    There are 3 item 8 antennas and 2 item 9 antennas for Drive & Entry systems per car (according to the parts list). Item 1 is the standard alarm/drive block. I would look at the wires coming out to find an antenna or to see if it uses the radio antenna. There is not a separate antenna listed in the parts list (that I can find).

    MY99 was the first US year for the 996 . It should not be a problem if it has had the service bulletin fixes. Any Porsche dealer can check (for free) using the cars VIN. Also, look on the door for the build date (not delivery - build). Late MY99 cars had most of the minor problems fixed at the factory. So, if your car is May or June 1999 then many service bulletin fixes have likely been done. I own a June build MY99 and I have had very few problems...

    RMS is dead center where the engine joins to the transmission. If it's blown oil all over the engine then it is pretty bad and you will likely need a new clutch too.

    Brake bleeding

    Loren replied to skl's topic in 996 GT3

    If you have access to a computer that can trigger the ABS valves then you will get a slightly better bleed job (IMHO). Normally the ABS valves only open when they need to. So, even a pressure bleeder will not get all the old fluid out - not a big deal though as we are only talking a few cc.
