    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.

    Well, if there is oil on the MAF then resetting won't work. The easiest way is with an OBDII Scan tool -- if you have access to one. If not, here is a quick trick to try -- disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes (you will likely need the radio code and stations re-programmed). If it stays off you are lucky and the problem cleared itself... if not you will need a Porsche PST2 or other OBDII scan tool to see what triggered the MIL.

    Here are two diagrams from the parts list: Oil Pressure Sensor (item 32) Fuel Pressure Regulator (item 2)
  10. Loren
    Yeah, Jeff is right... must be a lame dealer to not know they need the color code :lol:
  11. Loren
    Jeff is right the fuel pressure regulator is on the passenger side fuel rail on a Carrera. Oil pressure sensor is on the drivers side cam cover.

    Here is my 2 cents... The RoW suspension is going to settle some and actually get a little lower) over the next 2-3 months. I would drive the car like you want and then in 2-3 months go back and add more negative camber (front and rear) if you want it a little more aggressive (albeit at the expense of tires). Just IMHO....
  13. Loren
    Front camber and toe are the issue. I would at least call and discuss it with them. Here are the specs:

    Loren, If I am reading PET correctly, wasn't that part number superceded by 999.141.039.07 in 2003? It appears to me this bolt is now used for all seats, including the GT3 buckets (XSE/XSF). Karl Karl, The seat bolts did change from MY03 on (999 141 039 07). If you could/should use those new bolts on older cars it would have a "Dropped, please use replacement" pop-up window with the new part in it. Try item 11 (996 521 364 00) on the same page and you will see what I mean.

    Antonio, I've see the exterior paint at several outside companies like PaintScratch.com but have not seen any interior touch up kits. Might be worth asking one of these companies for something like that... but short term I think the dealer is your only choice -- sorry.
  17. Loren
    I've done the same. As long as your air cleaner is clean (and also not too oily) and you have no air leaks -- it should protect the engine from anything harmful. A number of companies sell kits that do the same plus remove the air babble and plug the hole that is left by doing so. You just did 90% of that and for a lot less than $120 :lol: :thumbup:

    999 141 038 07 Torx Bolt (E12) All seats EXCEPT the (RoW) GT3 seat use the same bolts.
  19. Loren
    Here is what the service manual says for (old) GT3, GT2 and TT... Both have a soft crush ring so I doubt 44 or 52 lbs will make much difference.

    000 721 920 40 (about $7 at your dealer)

    The flywheel does not have to be removed for the test. It's really hard to say with an RPM only type of vibration. If the clutch feels funny (buzzing) or you've heard any "other" noises from the clutch/bell housing then I would go after the throwout bearing and actuator as those are known to be a problem on the early cars.
  22. Loren
    IMHO... Yes, I think there is a relation. I think what you are describing is drivetrain related. Sometimes a small crack is very hard to see in both motor or transmission mounts. The flywheel test must be carried out as follows to rule it out: 1. The twist test on the DMF described below must be carried out by hand and without any tools. The test can be carried out in installed or removed status. (In removed status, a second person is required to counter hold). 2. Can the DMF be twisted by approx. 15 mm to both the left and the right, and does it then return to approximately its initial position? -- Yes, flywheel is okay. 3. Can the DMF be twisted beyond the dimension stated above (excessive turn) without a noticeable increase in the spring force? -- Yes, then the flywheel is faulty. Other potential causes could be an out of balance clutch plate (since you said this was replaced) or a loose or bad throw out bearing. The release arm (assembly) of the throw out bearing was changed in MY2000 so you might want to make sure the newer parts were used. In the end is sounds like someone familiar with these changes should inspect the car. Again, just IMHO

    996 512 821 90 Adjusting Mechanism 4 Grad 996 512 823 90 Adjusting Mechanism 8 Grad The parts list does not say 1 pair or 2 each but I would assume they are sold in pairs. Best check with the dealer when they place your order.

    All the Porsche OEM wheels are either 50 mm or 52 mm offset. I don't see any reason why you can't get the 5 mm offset built into the wheels (as long as it is correct). I don't think the 235s will rub even with the 5 mm spacers. The fronts rub first on the inside -- and only 245s rub a little at lock to lock.
