  1. Yes, it will fit. It is a two person job to install it (to keep from scratching things).
  2. We need to know the model of your car and model year to get you the correct color codes for the spoiler wires.
  3. We still have not seen PDF files from Porsche of this. You can easily order an Owners Manual from Porsche for under $20. WKD 997 221 08
  4. He is referring to Porsche Technical Service Bulletin (TSB): 1/04 1945 Operating Noises of The Additional Coolant Pump -- dated May 25, 2004 Porsche TSBs are available here to view online by our Contributing Members.
  5. Check the battery - especially if it is 4 years old or older. My money is on the battery or a bad ignition switch.
  6. Hmm... it does look like something struck it to me. I would take it to the best machine shop in town and ask if they can re-weld and machine the damage. FYI... cylinder head complete -- MSRP $2566.08
  7. Well, IMHO your car needs to be looked at. It does not sound to me like you have a major problem (very few folks actually do). As these cars age some of the plastic and rubber parts are going to deteriorate enough to need fixing - that is a fact of life on any 10 year old car. You could have a cracked AOS bellows or cracked coil packs or some other intake leak. If you have a warranty now - take the car back and tell them that a CEL is unacceptable. If they are not qualified to find to the problem then they should take to someone that is - and they should pay for it - that is what the warranty is for.
  8. That is a very odd problem. What did the crack look like? hairline or did it look like something hit it? The head and cam cover a machined matched set - so both have to be replaced.
  9. Have your dealer review TSB 4/99 6420 Noises at the Windshield and Rear Window -- dated 7-13-99. They need to insert two layers of foam rubber cord and reseal the window.
  10. Actually it uses both. A rod is used for the key entry (outside) and a bowden cable is used for the interior release. So a conversion kit could use either. (item 21 and 26 below)
  11. Just pull from the bottom back edge (front of the car towards the back). There is a hook on the front so it needs to come off from the back first.
  12. The switch for ParkAssistent and reverse lights is in the shifter for Tiptronic vehicles.
  13. :welcome: It could also be the wrong spark plugs if they were recently changed. If your CEL is flashing (not solid) the car should not be driven as it will damage the cats.
  14. Position logo with the dimensions X = 332 mm and Y = 20 mm on the rear lid and press down.
  15. The seal TSB says 2 hours 20 minutes. The seal MSRP is $245.22 and special cleaner is used MSRP $8.47. The mechanism TSB does not give a time estimate (perhaps because they were all supposed to be done while cars were still under warranty). The retaining frame repair kit has an MSRP of $1255.73 and the lift mechanism repair kit has an MSRP of $656.39. Did you ever report the problem while you were under warranty? If so, I think they have an obligation to fix it for you under warranty. You could always ask for a regional PCNA rep to review your issue...
  16. High mileage role call 125,000 plus 117,000 111,000 just to name a few....
  17. There are TSBs for Targa's manufactured before October 19, 2004 that changes the glass sliding mechanisms - primarily for rattling noises. And another TSB the change the glass seal (for cars manufactured before December 3, 2004). If these have not been done to your car they might be a good place to start.
  18. Good for mine! thank you very much! Gary You are welcome.
