    Are you sure it is the airbag spring - further inspection really is needed.
  2. Loren
    Try 0909 or 0907
  3. Loren
    All of the Porsche Maintenance Checklists are here.
  4. Loren
    No part number for those items in my (April 2008) list either. Your dealer/OPC should email/fax/call Porsche and ask about availability. Sometimes the parts are on request only. Another option would be to visit your friendly Mercedes dealer and see if they can match the parts (Mercedes makes the Tip for Porsche).

    Search is your friend... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=81999

    If it is making noise then something was not put back together right - or is damaged.
  7. Loren
    Model and year of your car please?

    Porsche (unlike many manufacturers) sells tuned kits. These kits include springs, shocks, bumper stops and swaybars. So what you get is a predictable handling car. Changing just one or two components can sometimes make a car handle erratically or unsafely. For my money I would stick with Porsche on this one. You could also use coilovers like Porsche uses on their race cars and lower or raise the height as needed. The "normal" ride height for coilovers (on their highest setting) will still a little lower than stock.

    If you own a laptop.. Durametric Software

    P2188 Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - below limit value Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - above limit value Lambda control adaptation RKAT (range near idle speed) - above limit value Lambda control adaptation RKAT (range near idle speed) - below limit value They need to look at the FRAU and RCAT readings to see which issue it really is. P2098 Lambda correction downstream, bank 1 – rich/lean control limit exceeded Possible fault causes: - Leakage in exhaust system between the two oxygen sensors - Oxygen sensor upstream faulty (contaminated/aged) This one is likely caused by the primary fault (P2188) - as I said they need to look at FRAU and RKAT. LOL -- VAG codes are VW and Audi specific.

    If you use the Motul RBF-600 be sure and do a complete flush (including the ABS). Motul RBF-600 is a 100% Synthetic brake fluid and should not be mixed with conventional brake fluids.
  12. Loren
    It is certainly your call. I would buy the best you can afford. But, some facts about the ATE Typ200... ATE TYP 200 Brake Fluid (DOT 4) has a dry boiling point of 536F and a wet boiling point of 396F. ATE TYP 200 is compatible and will mix with MOST DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 Fluids. ATE TYP 200 Brake Fluid lies 20 °C over the DOT 5.1 standard and surpasses this standard in nearly all the other requirements as well.

    Try 8957 or 8955 Thanks for the quick response yesterday ! I tried both codes and neither worked :-(. I did some more digging around and still couldn't find the card. I did find my second key which I'd looked for in the past ! :-) Any suggestion for a next step ? Thanks again. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    The power bleeder sure is a handy way to bleed the brakes but can be don't with two people. I do not recommend bleeding the clutch (which is in the same circuit) without a power bleeder though.
  15. Loren
    With or without PASM?
  16. Loren
    1975,1976, and 1977 were all 3 liter cars 1978 began the 3.3 liter cars. If you want to be sure get the serial number from the engine (case) and I will look it up.
  17. Loren
    Not that I am aware of. The radio needs a code from the cars DME (engine computer) via MOST (fiber optic network) to run.
  18. Loren
    Try 3312 or 3310
  19. Loren
    I do not know and I don't have one here to look at. If it is a Porsche OEM seat belt then it has the pyrotechnic tensioners.
  20. Loren
    Technically it looks like it will fit any narrow body 996 (no C4S). The matching front bumper will not fit a MY02 and car because the headlight and fender openings changed.
  21. Loren
    There should be a fuse diagram on the back of the fuse door panel (down by your left). You will likely have to remove the fuse and hold it to light to see if it is blown (or measure it's continuity with a meter). If you want power for your V1 use the telephone prep connector that is in all US/Canada cars. It has switched (power off when ignition is off) and unswitched (power always on). I think you want switched power for your V1 so it will not run your battery down. The cigarette light is unswitched power - so it is always on. Do a search here the telephone prep connector and V1 installation have been covered many times.

    Model and year of car please?

    XZN108 which I believe is 8 mm.
  24. Loren
    I have this same set shown here... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=81630 You eBay or Google for "VIM Tools 8 Piece XZN Triple Square Metric 3/8" Drive"

    PST2 and PIWIS are both Porsche diagnostic computers - most good shops have one or both. Yes, check the fans using the tester.
