Hmm... probably best to put a PST2 or PIWIS tester on the car and see if there are fault codes.

Check the spark plug, coil pack and wiring on that cylinder. Swap parts to a know good cylinder and see which part follows the change.

Sorry, can't help you. Perhaps these folks can get it for you (about $10 US I think). http://www.radio-code.co.uk/blaupunkt-radio-codes.html

Do you know how many numbers the code is? 5 digit? or 4 digit?

No, just coupe. Targa is a little different - do you need that info?

Only the MY99 C2 is not egas. All other 996 Carrera's are egas including MY99 C4.

I would check the new lines for tightness - every few weeks until you are sure they are seated and tight. They have a way of unscrewing themselves.

Sure, it is just a silicone bead seal. I would clean it all off - drive the car and make sure where it is coming from.

That is actually A, B and C pillars - so use what you need.

997.551.984.04.T41 Left floor mat (sand beige) -- US MSRP $198.28

Are you trying to sell this?

Terminal 31 is ground Terminal 15 is switched +12 volts

Are you sure they are Bi-Xenon lights? Bi-Xenon had headlight washers as standard.

Yes, just keep your service records. Even doing the work yourself should not void your warranty as long as it is done correctly and documented.

VarioCam Plus is quite different As a Contributing Member you can read the 4 page write up in the MY2002 Technical Information Book.

Yes. POSES

100 Time Units is one hour. Realize also that some of these book times include taking the front wheels off - so if you are doing it all at the same time - the actual time will be less. Front pads = 80 TU Rear pads = 80 TU Brake hoses front = 30 TU Brake hoses rear = 30 TU Brake and clutch bleed/flush = 80 TU

:welcome: Looks like someone added a Targa shade switch - most likely for a garage door opener.

In most states all you need is clear title to the car - but they will add you to the database the first time you come in for work.

Since you still have warranty why not take it to the dealer and ask them to check the car over and put the PIWIS tester on it to check for faults.

LOL - there was no MY99 Porsche 996 Turbo - the 996 TT was not introduced until MY01. Let's try this technical explanation from Porsche's MY1999 Service Information Technical Introduction: "VarioCam VarioCam, the adjustment of the intake camshafts at engine speeds of approx. 1,300 rpm* and 5,920 rpm, produces a major part of the engine output, the engine torque as well as the good exhaust values at idling speed. Engine speeds below 1,300 rpm produce a slight overlap in the valve stroke curves for the intake valves in relation to the exhaust valves. This particularly affects low proportions of hydrocarbons (HC proportions) in the exhaust gas before the catalytic converters. If the engine exceeds the 1,300 rpm mark *, the intake camshafts are adjusted by 12.5° (by 25° if measured a the crankshaft). Adjustment of the camshafts to produce a greater overlapping of the valve stroke curves for the intake and exhaust valves results in improved cylinder charging and thus an increase in engine torque. In the case of engine speeds above 5,920 rpm, the intake camshafts are returned to the basic control times (as for engine idling speed). If the intake valve closes later, additional amounts of intake air can be drawn in. This produces a recharging effect since the flow of air is not interrupted. This also results in improved charging of the cylinders and an increase in performance. * The value 1,300 rpm increases to 1,480 rpm with engine oil temperatures of approx. 133°C." "VarioCam To increase the torque and to improve cylinder charging, the engine has two VarioCam actuators which are installed in the chain tensioners of the camshafts. The two actuators are operated by electromagnetic valves activated by the DME control unit. Functioning When the ignition is switched on, the electromagnetic valves of the camshaft adjusters are supplied with positive potential. If the engine is started, the control unit applies ground to terminal 25 (camshaft adjuster for cylinder line 4 - 6) and to terminal 52 (camshaft adjuster for cylinder line 1 - 3) if the following conditions are fulfilled (VarioCam activated); 1 - Engine oil temperature between -3°C and 133°C 2 - Engine speed > 1,300 rpm 3 - Throttle opening > 5% or 1 - Engine oil temperature > 133°C 2 - Engine speed > 1,480 rpm 3 - Throttle opening > 3.9% The ground potential is deactivated by the DME control unit (VarioCam deactivated) if: Engine speed > 5,120 rpm"

The 3.4 liter X51 option was never approved for the US market - so there will not be a PCNA TSB on it. There is some information of differences and specs in the Carrera Service Manual. If you want a kit try Carnewal.com or email Gert at Carnewal.com.
