    With the right tools it should take 5 to 8 hours. Nothing special here just change the springs, shocks and rebound springs. Re-torque everything and get a quality alignment.

    I'll have to double check the Carrera. I got the number from the service manual (wouldn't be the first time it was wrong). I don't remember what I used last time - just grabbed a wrench that fit :lol:

    My experience is that MB manuals and TSBs are almost impossible to get. I use AllDataDIY.com for my CLK55.
  4. Loren
    If you change them before they wear through the sensors you will not need new sensors. New pads are approx 12 mm front and 10.5 rear so I would personally change at 5 mm. YMMV...
  5. Loren
    ;) unless you have a Turbo...

    Try Sunset Imports in Oregon. (see link at the top of the pages here - Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). Obviously some dealers have raised the prices based on demand. :welcome:

    According to the Porsche Service manual... "New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km. Not until then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when travelling at high speed only in emergencies."

    Loren replied to mds's topic in 996 GT3

    Viken, See KarlS's DIY here

    For those that have now seen this new accessory here is a PDF download version of the article (from a local dealers Porsche Talk mailer). I do not have part numbers or pricing yet... cell_phone.pdf

    Factory spec for idle speed on both 6 speed and Tiptronic is 700 RPM.

    TSB 4/02 1701 Engine Oils Approved by Porsche (dated 5-23-2003) is eight pages of approved oils. In all those pages there is no approved oil that is 10W30. Approved Mobil oils are: EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION Mobil 1 0W-40 ncp GL Mobil 1 5W-40 ncp GL Mobil 1 5W-50 ncp GL Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Formula 0W-40 ncp GL Mobil 1 Rally Formula 5W-50 ncp GL Mobil Syst S 5W-40 ncp GL Mobil Super 10W-40 pnp GL BTW... changing your own oil is easy. Maybe 15 minutes - see my Oil Change DIY here

    On most of the Becker Radios you use the following procedure to adjust the speed dependent volume: 1. Select the User menu by pressing the down arrow button for longer than 8 seconds. Immediately (within 4 seconds). 2. Rotate the right knob until you come to the GAL display. Use the arrow keys to set the GAL. Settings are Off, and 1 to 7. Default is 3 or 4 (on some radios). 3. Rotate the right knob until END is displayed. The unit will revert to normal use in about 4 seconds.

    All are located in the DIY section at the top of each page (Loren's DIY pages). Brake Pad DIY

    Tanks are fairly common but a hose is easily damaged also. Could be a leaking hose but a pressure test should show for sure.
  15. Loren
    That is a Tiptronic steering wheel -- is your car a Tip? If so, the part numbers are correct.

    On the front suspension lower arm (see the curved arrow in this pic).
  18. Loren
    Yes, the MY04 GT3 spec is very close to the X74 specs so it should be ok. You are a little low in the front as the spec is 115 mm so expect some scraping on driveways etc. Also, expect that the front brake ducts are going to scrape or be ripped off.
  19. Loren
    Yes. Have a look at the pics in the 3rd radiator DIY.
  20. Loren
    Any time you change the ride height you are changing the camber - so, yes an alignment is always needed. Any good quality shop that can to a four wheel alignment and corner balance should be able to handle a coilover suspension. Why did you choose GT3 specs? What model and year car? 6 speed or Tip? Coupe or Cab? All of these make a difference in what suspension tuning you use.
  21. Loren
    Yes. The Kit 996 512 903 00 G2X should fit any MY99 - MY01 car.
  22. Loren
    Have you checked your oil? I know that would not be good news buy it is a possibility...
  23. Loren
    I thought there were two codes for cars with PCM I. One for the radio entered at the radio and one for the PCM entered at the PCM.
  24. Loren
    Check out the updated specials at the Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost link. New Carrera Powerkit price; Boxster Sports Exhausts; Litronic Headlights for early cars; PCCB brake upgrades; Aerokits for both Boxster and Carrera; and Cayenne 4 tube exhausts.
  25. Loren
    Or... jack the car way up from the rear jack point and put the jack stand under the front jack point. (This works on a Carrera but I've heard it won't on a Boxster).
