    Porsche does not sell trim paint so I would just take it to body/paint shop and ask them what they would use. The bad news is you might have to buy enough to paint a few hundred. or Try Eric at BumperPlugs.com - his folks can match most Porsche colors once he has a sample.
  2. Loren
    Porsche calls it "mat chrome" on the C4S. On a C4 and Carrera (and Targa) they use "lacquered titanium"

    Try 8819 or 8817 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  4. Loren
    Start by posting your question in the correct forum. Based on your 1997 C2 - ask in the 993 forum. Thanks.
  5. Loren
    No throttle cable a MY2000 - MY2000 on has eGas.
  6. Loren

    Anytime you add or remove items from the MOST fiber optic bus system - it is best re-initialize the system and verify the components with a PIWIS tester.

    Oh good, but that wasn't the place i was thinking of. I found it eventually. http://www.wheelenhancement.com/ Alan. Wheel Techniques is in Santa Clara CA (Northern California - Bay area) Wheel Entrancement is in Culver City, CA (Southern California - between LA and Santa Monica)

    You nailed it. It took me an hour to figure out the O was a 0...who makes these choices? I also found the nifty decoder under documents... WP0 is for Germany - Porsche http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number
  12. Loren
    I think it is: MG = Main Group SG = Sub Group and then Illustration number These match the same groups in the service manuals and PIWIS. For MY2008 Cayenne: 904_05.pdf 807_35.pdf
  13. Loren
    Tell me which 'MG' and 'SG' pages you want and I'll download them for you later tonight.

    All of the X51 parts are listed in the TSB 7/02 1001 Option X51 - Increased Engine Performance -- dated 12-6-02. You have access to that TSB as a Contributing Member.
  16. Loren
    Year and model of your car please? Do have NAV? which option?
  17. Loren
    You don't see many worn out throttle bodies. Unless it was damaged I doubt the (metal) throttle body is bad. I would get a second opinion.
  18. Loren
    Sorry, my program only works on the later model (Becker) CD and CDR series.
  19. Loren
    You need to have the fault codes read by someone with the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester.
  20. Loren
    Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, you can buy the boot separately (if you are sure the coil pack is ok). The boot only is: 996.602.103.01 Spark plug connector -- US MSRP $17.64 If you buy the whole coil pack (MSRP about $68) the boot comes with it.
  21. Loren
    Could be either mount - best to inspect both.
  22. Loren
    Yes, you can do it yourself. Why would you replace the throttle body if the codes say throttle jacking unit (which attaches to the throttle body)?
  23. Loren
    1. No trick - just pull harder (and straight). 2. Yes, pretty much. The 997 has a tab that hooks over the end to keep it in place - 9x6 series cars had the tab but they seemed break the first time you used them :rolleyes: 3. A bleeder is a one $50 investment that you can use on all your cars. I would guess you are looking at 1-2 hours labor at most shops.
  24. Loren
    It sounds like you are talking about the oil tubes. Your car is 1998 so if it were mine I would replace all the oil tubes. It has been described here before and in a TSB.
  25. Loren
    Most of the popular ones are fine. Size 48 for a perfect fit. Make sure it has the vent tube connector so you can connect to the existing vent. I have Autozone's Duralast (with vent tube and line), others have used Costco's Kirkland, and Interstate. They all last about 4-5 years so I personally do not think the brand matters. There is a several page Battery thread here
