    You likely have two seperate problems. Please do as RFM suggested - brake lights are not tied to the interior lights. Interior lights (including the glove box) are driven from central locking/alarm system (and fused by C3). If the fuse was melted then perhaps you have a melted wire too? Is this a Cab? Is there a chance the control box under the left hand seat got wet?

    After re-reading the explanation - I think that the non-return valve is in the camshaft adjuster.

    Take the air cleaner off and the connecting tube. If there is a lot of oil in the intake then you likely have a bad AOS.
  4. Loren
    I think they are talking about the pressure relief valve on the oil pump housing.
  5. Loren
    Try 9660 or 9658
  6. Loren
    Heating and cooling, tie downs on the boat over, improper lifting on the hoist at PPI. Since you are under warranty - let the dealer fix it.

    Try 9078 or 9076

    Sounds like a muffler heat shield is bent.

    If it is only on one side then check the connector in the front fender first. Look for a broken connector, corroded wires, or pins pushed out of the connector.

    You will never find specs for the 19" wheels on a 996 series car because Porsche does not approve them. You could use the 997 specs but that would be a little misleading also because 997 has a stiffer chassis than 996. I think that would depend on where the PSS9's are set for ride height. If you are 30 mm below stock then use the X74 settings. Otherwise you will likely have to adjust to the ride height, and guess the settings that work best.

    On US cars - yes.

    Throttle valve is the throttle butterfly on egas cars (which your car is) - which is part of the throttle body. An intake leak could be a number of places like a bad air oil separator, a bad o-ring on the oil filler cap or bad oil filler tube. A loose or broken vacuum line/hose etc.

    P1126 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Lower Load Range, Bank 1 – Above Limit P1133 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Lower Load Range, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Incorrect signal from MAF sensor – Intake air system leaking – Fuel pressure too low – Volume supply of fuel pump too low – Fuel injectors fouled There is nothing wrong with your O2 sensors.
  17. Loren
    P0507 Idle Air Control at Stop – Above Limit Potential causes: – Throttle valve is sticking – Leaks in intake air system
  18. Loren
    If your car is a coupe - 996.612.070.51 rear harness for aerokit/wing deck lid -- US MSRP $164.88 Give the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for better pricing.
  19. Loren
    Headlight switch.
  20. Loren
    Check the option list in your Maintenance Manual
  21. Loren
    P0453 Tank Pressure Sensor – Above Limit Check wiring from pressure sensor to DME control module for short to B+. Repair wiring or replace sensor.
  22. Loren
    Try 2528 or 2526 These codes are not working. Do you have any suggestions? Did you read the FAQ - I think not... Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    If the RCA plugs are the white and red plug...I'd say yes (I'll check them again though)....But are you saying that if they aren't then the speakers will not work? How strange is that???? Thanks again, Okay, I went out and un-plugged and then plugged them back in, and still no sound. Maybe next I'll unplug the DC Changer and see if I get sound??? Thanks again for your time..... Loren, All is okay now, turns out that the problem is that the connection of the plugs on the AMP didn't 'connect'. I cleaned with electrical cleaner and that give me sound. Thanks for your time and help. C'ya, Glad you got it sorted - it had to be something simple.
  24. Loren
    Still sounds like a bad AOS to me...
  25. Loren
    If you look at the model year column (actually Remark) and then the option code column (actually Model). Those two items will determine the the right part.
