    Before I would change it any more parts I would have the battery tested. If you need to replace the battery get a properly sized 95 - 110 AH battery. 110 AH if you have a lot of electrical options or tow. I would also reset the codes and see of they come back.

    As of MY02 Carrera that is not true. From the Model Year 2002 Technik New Model Information book... "A power-shifted five-speed sports transmission is available as an alternative to the conventional six-speed manual transmission with mechanical disengaging clutch. The transmission of the 911 turbo has been installed to withstand the torque and performance requirements. The basic transmission is manufactured by DaimlerChrysler under the internal type designation W5A 580."

    I'm concerned about the mating about the engine to the tranny. I've heard on the 944 forums that the Boxster tranny has 3 bolts ok, 1 bolt off. By associative relationship, the Boxster engine is similar to the 996 engine, thereby having same mounting points to tranny but the TT engine is similar to GT3 engine which is 964-based (ok, the block is), then is there a mating issue? As for DME, I suppose the whole harness has to go over? No chance of just pulling the TT DME and expect it to work with the 996 harness? Thanks for the input! Sprint. If your car were a MY02 or newer you could re-use the DME as both are DME 7.8 - just different programs. Problem is the older (Carrera's) cars DME's (DME 5.2.2 and DME 7.2) do not support VarioCam Plus.

    I always wondered if a 996TT engine can be installed in my 02 C4S 6 speed. Does anyone know if the C4S manual tranny is the same as the TT since both are AWD? I would think among others items to address would be side venting for coolers, etc. It seems an interesting option. Ratios would be close but I think the 996TT transmission is stronger as it is the same as the GT3. You will still need to re-plumb the clutch and re-program the DME, add the oil tank, etc., etc. Still a lot of work considering what 996TT's are going for these days.

    PLEASE READ THE FAQ - you do not post your request here. Post only in the one Lost Radio Code thread.

    Check to see if there is a printed sticker on the underside of the front hood. There should also be on in the original maintenance book that came with the car.

    You asked for a diagram of the 996TT headlight pins - that is what I posted.
  14. Loren
    I think this will be very difficult. MY98 C2 is a narrow body car and 996TT is a wide body car. I don't think there will be room for the intercoolers on a narrow body car without a lot of body work. Not to mention brakes, larger radiators, DME, etc.

    For a 986 Boxster - rear wheels that are 18 x 10" wide need a 47 mm offset. If you have added a 5 mm spacer (and longer wheel bolts) then your offset is correct.

    See the adjusting link above the microswitch is in the latch and shown there.

    Removal 1. Disconnect battery ground cable. 2. Pull cover (collar) off the steering lock. 3. Insert ignition key and turn to position 1 (ignition on). Insert a steel wire C with a diameter of approx. 1.3 mm (max. 1.5 mm 0) into the bore next to the ignition key (arrow) as far as it will go. Pull the lock barrel with induction coil out of the steering lock housing. Note: Inserting the steel wire C unlocks the lock barrel in the steering lock housing. 4. Carefully unlock and separate the plug connection on the lock barrel (at the induction coil for the immobilizer). Installation 1. Ignition lock with the pawl depressed must be in position 1 (ignition on). 2. Press on the pawl of the lock barrel (locking pawl). Insert the ignition key and turn the key as far as it will go to position 1 (ignition on). In this position, insert the steel wire that was used for removal. 3. Plug connector onto the ignition coil B. Position the induction coil B and push the lock barrel all the way into the housing. Turn the ignition key correspondingly, if necessary, until the lock barrel has been pushed in fully. Pull out the steel wire C in this position so that lock engages. 4. Connect battery ground cable. Perform function test. 5. If a new transponder (new lock barrel with new key) is used, the new key must be taught.

    For a while Porsche was distributing these via PDF - they stopped that last year. Try and see if your dealer can get you a PDF copy - I doubt it but it's worth a try.

    There are people that say a PST2 can change them - but not in the US I think. They don't want a way around smog checks. You will likely have to just drive the car until they have enough drive cycles to change the ready state to happy faces.

    Release by turning 90°, and pull out of the opening.
  22. Loren
    Start with the switch on the brake pedal.
  23. Loren
    I think you want item 10. Do you need the left or right or both?
  24. Loren
    I am not likely the guy to ask - having a TV or DVD viewable by the driver is not legal in California and maybe all of the US.
  25. Loren
    Should be in the compartment near the right rear tail light.
