    You do not need to take the rear bumper off. It may be easier to get the mufflers out with the rear tires off though. See my complete write-up here

    Rob, I'll send you what I have... Hopefully, Gert will repsond about availability and legality. I don't think Porsche ever got an engine with this kit on it tested in the US.

    There are no TSBs on cracked or leaking washer fluid tanks. But I have heard of several folks that have had the problem. There are two tanks. One for cars with headlight washers (996 528 701 00) and one for cars without (996 528 701 01).

    I think you talking about the rectangular baffle in the air cleaner housing? If so, I have some bad news for you... Porsche does not sell that part by itself. You must buy the whole air cleaner housing 996 110 921 50. Sorry :blink:

    Doug, My documents don't have a build date or VIN number but from what I can tell it was changed in either late 1998 builds or early 1999 builds. My car is a June 99 build and it has changes. I'll send you an email with all the 3.6 X51 kit parts. There was also an X51 kit for the 3.4 liter that was not sold in the US. I think I have instructions but may not part numbers for that kit.
  8. Loren
    The later 3.4 liter cars are better than the early ones as they changed the internal baffles. The 3.6 liter cars got additional oil pump capacity and as well the baffles. The 3.6 Powerkit upgrade took this even a little further with a second oil pickup point and a new baffle system. But, Porsche still recommends that if you use racing tires you should by the Porsche MotorSports Kit and install it. (Some engine disassembly is required).
  9. Loren
    Yes, No (...well kind of), depends/Yes. Buy one and Jeff and I will put it in. (ps. I deleted your second post on the same subject)

    If you have a MY99 car then there was only one finish It was called Granite Grey You will need two parts: 996 552 096 01 D05 Shelf (this is the tray - D05 specifies the color) 996 552 596 00 Console Insert (rubber pad)

    Not that I am aware of. Have you tried asking for your PCA discount? My-Porsche has been slow for me also... they tell me that the supplements showup in their computer system but they are not allowed to order. I ordered these in July... I haven't had any wrong shipments so far. I use them because they are on the way to Laguna Seca so no shipping/handling cost etc.
  12. Loren
    Just picked up supplements 73 to 77 (about 6 inches thick). Looks like I've got couple days work ahead of me... :eek:

    :oops: I re-read my post.... I guess I was too tired... Solid spoke wheels have the ribs in back. I'll correct it and look for the 11" part numbers. Sorry, for the confusion.
  14. Loren
    The sounds are so mixed it is hard to tell if something is loose and rubbing or if you have a serious air leak in the crankcase, exhaust, or intake... best let a mechanic hear it in person. I personally would not drive or run the car any more until it is solved... (JMHO)
  15. Loren
    All solid spoke wheels have ribs on the back of the spokes. That is, if you feel behind each wheel spoke there are ribbed re-enforcements. Hollow spoke wheels have no ribs they are smooth and they also have metal (air) valves since the wheel is hollow. You should stay away from any chromed hollow spoke wheels as it weakens them and the process can damage the wheels... even one year later. I've seen one of these and the guy is lucky to be alive. Since you have a C4S, you are looking for 11" rears? Not the 993TT 10" rears right?

    There are two ways to get an image on the site. 1. If the image is 60K or under (my imposed limit) you can simply use the attach command at the bottom of your new post (before you hit "Post New Topic") button. or 2. You can link to any size image offsite by click ing on the "IMG" button (when posting) and entering in a full URL to the image i.e. http://www.garlic.com/~ljcook/images/996.jpg would produce If you are still having problems let me know and I'll help out.

    IMHO, a good machine shop can do it. If you know and trust a machine shop and want to make sure they don't accidentally make a mistake then I would make a copy of the the manual pages and give it to them as a "reference". A good shop would make sure they are doing it right.
  18. Loren
    If you want I can send you (via email) the factory recommended procedure? Just let me know.
  19. Loren
    Yes, what normally comes with the car is the leather case with: 1. Owners Manual 2. Warranty and Customer Information 3. Maintenance 4. CDR220/CD220 (Porsche) Radio Manual (w/ security code). The Maintenance manual is important because it has all the service tags service actions (history). It also has stickers (for your individual car) for paint color and an options list. If this is missing you might ask your dealer to print-out a service his (by VIN) from the PCNA computers -- they can do this, but you might have to pressure them a little. You can get a MY2000 Maintenance book from My-Porsche.com I think the part number is: WKD-900-023-00 and it is listed at $8.00. The leather case is Folder, Black (Leatherette) WWM-200-700 $62.33 (same web page). If you need the option tags I don't think you can order them -- instead you might want to order a "Certificate of Authenticity". You can download a PDF form to fill in and fax back here. I think the price has gone up (it was $35 when I got mine two years ago). I personally think it is good to have one of these to prove the options/original paint etc. if you ever sell the car. It will also show the original list price.

    Karl, This is from page 53 of the Cup Car Service Manual

    (Sorry, I can't remember who I worked with this on but he took some great pics). Here is the procedure: To remove the factory cut-out but allow the switch to work (PSE-On or PSE-Off): 1) Remove the fuse panel cover and the carpet cover itself by removing four screws. Release the relay carrier above the fuse panel by releasing a clip on the left and a 10mm nut on the right. 2) Pull it down so you can rotate it around to see the back. This pic shows position 23. 3) From the back of the relay carrier, remove the relay receptacle from position #23 (the "23" is printed in raised letters on the front side of the relay carrier) by pressing in on two little fingers that hold the receptacle into the carrier. Now look for the four-position jumper. There are two gray connectors there. One has two two-position jumpers and the other has one four-position jumper. You want to pull that one out of it's black plastic holder, and then remove the four-position metal jumper.

    Make sure the dealer has inspected the rubber door sealing gasket. Sometimes damage or a slightly deformed gasket are hard to see. There are four adjustments on the door window. I wonder if the dealer is only doing the height adjustment? Here are the four adjustments needed to properly align the door window mechanism: 1. Adjust the door window angle in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. 2. Adjust the door window height. 3. Adjust the door window pressing force on the door seal at the top and sides. You can check the adjustment by -- clamping a sheet of paper between the door window and door seal -- It should not be possible to pull the sheet of paper out. 4. Adjust the lower stop of the power window unit.

    Just an FYI... the new parts list shows 986 424 010 03 for the GT2/TT (MY03 on) and GT3 (MY04 on). The Carrera and Boxster S use 996 424 010 05 for MY03 on... while interesting enough the Boxster also uses 986 424 010 03 for MY03 on.

    Both are accessible (barely) from the top of the engine passenger side. Sorry, not enough light to get you a photo.
