    When I have had problems like this it was usually because the order type was set incorrectly (or more often) missing from the DME coding. I would check that first. If you will tell me the exact model and year of the car I will look-up the correct order code for you.

    Try 2736
  3. Loren
    Try 4970

    Not sure what you are looking for from us here? I can not tell you the Porsche book time (time to repair) or complexity because it is not listed. Even Porsche sends some problems out to specialize shops - in this case a transmission shop. It looks to me like your choices are get the re-manufactured gaskets (and hope they fix the leak) or replace the transmission or sell the car.

    :welcome: Perhaps item 18 in this diagram? (click to enlarge)

    Yes, Porsche suspensions are tuned to the cars weight - so there are different components for Coupe and Cab as well as Tip and 6 speed. So if someone wants to change the suspension you need to tell the parts people coupe or cab and Tip or 6 speed.
  7. Loren
    Looks like it is brown/yellow which US standard suspension.

    May just be some dirt keeping the collar from retracting. I would just push it in - then next time you wash the car be sure to spray up under the fender to try and clean that area. Should be no harm as long as it works next time you need it. (I have never needed mine in 12 years).
  9. Loren
    US MSRP is $206.82 so $75 is a good price. They are not interchangeable (left to right) so make sure you get one that matches the same side.
  10. Loren
    Exact model and year of your car please...

    If just the pull ring broke then I would say it is optional to fix. But if the locking pin is broken off then you fuel door will not lock when you lock the car -- or set off the alarm if someone were to pry the fuel door open with the alarm set.
  12. Loren
    :welcome: The new control (trigger) unit should fix the problems. You will still need to clear the fault codes once the repair has been made.
  13. Loren
    I assume this is a RHD car? Look familiar? This is your fuel door actuator and the pull ring is for emergency access. Looks like your may now be broken. There is a DIY Tutorial here for replacing it on a 996 - but the 997-1 is likely the same or very close.
  14. Loren
    Negative -- I am suggesting going through the wheel well. You should have enough access without removing the bumper.
  15. Loren
    Remove the wheel on that side and then the wheel well liner (see my 3rd Radiator Mod in the DIY Tutorials for that) - then you will see everything for replacing the fan motor etc..
  16. Loren
    Try 9090
  17. Loren
    Try 5032

    Check the color codes on the springs and report them back here along with your exact model and year car - then I look them up.
  19. Loren
    Fancy coat hangers - nice if you have them. Perhaps the right size screwdrivers will work. The idea is that you work on the calipers suspended off the rotor - but without putting pressure on the flexible and rigid brake fluid lines.
  20. Loren
    The caliper bolts get loosened then the caliper slides on two steel rods (pins) (special tool T10439) to suspend the caliper while you remove and replace the pads.
  21. Loren
    The only way to really test the battery is to remove it and take to an auto parts store that does load testing. They should also perform a specific gravity test on each of the battery cells. If your battery is 4 years old or older I would replace it anyway as you living on borrowed time.
  22. Loren
    Good point to always check the battery - first.
  23. Loren
    :welcome: Do search here for a bad ignition switch and you find with the same symptoms.
  24. Loren
    Pentosin has a greenish-blue color. Mostly green.
  25. Loren
    Try 0829
