    74mm 14 flute - $3.99 at Pep Boys (3/8" drive) The DIY is exactly the same as the 996 DIY. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7055

    From Porsche's TSB Approved Oils - Tiptronic Transmission ATE Super Blue is the same as ATE Typ 200 Gold - their properties are exactly the same.

    All 997's (so far) use the same MAF. Whether 3.6 or 3.8 they are all the same part number. 986.606.125.01 (yes a 986 number) and it is used on: GT3-1 (996) GT3-2 (997) CGT 996 MY02 and newer (3.6 liter engines) 986 MY00 and newer with re-programming required of the DME (exception: special edition spyder)

    Loose hose clamp or perhaps the new tank was cracked putting it in?

    I also have a leak coming from around the tank area. One problem, the coolant tank was replaced a few months ago and therefor is new ! I came back from a "spirited" run to find coolant dripping quite badly from very close to the top of the black overflow tube (Under the top of the resevoir lip). It looks like the coolant is "tracking" around the back of the resevoir and dripping down beside the overflow tube? No coolant is coming out of the overflow tube. I cannot see where the leak is coming from. Could it be the new tank has failed, or is there a coolant pipe leaking that would allow the coolant to travel around the top / back of the resevoir and drip off the lip? Any help appreciated. Have you check the tank cap? If the part number ends in 00 it likely needs to be replaced (with the 01). Seems all of the 00 part number caps eventually leak.

    My understanding is that the XSU Lowered Seats option is accomplished by providing a 10 mm thinner seat bottom seat cushion.

    That part number is correct.

    Try cleaning and lightly lubricating your clutch return spring (on the pedal assembly).
  11. Loren
    Try 0398 or 0396
  12. Loren
    It would not hurt since you are changing the airflow somewhat.
  13. Loren
    Please read through some of this thread - that has been explained several times...
  14. Loren
    Try 3261 or 3259
  15. Loren
    Sorry, all of your part numbers are missing the last two digits. Since it says VariCam and not VarioCam Plus that would imply that it is a 3.4 liter engine (MY99-MY01).
  16. Loren
    Try 0571 or 0569

    I would call around to various dealers and get part cost plus shipping costs. I would start with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost).

    :soapbox: Read my Blog (link in signature below) for my 2 cents....

    That sounds correct. The seat heater control unit is 996.618.521.00. They are the same on both sides so you should be able to swap them and verify that it is the problem.
  21. Loren
    Are you sure they are the right sensors and all the wires are connected?
  22. Loren
    P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit P1119 Oxygen Sensor Heating 2 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit P1117 Oxygen sensor heating 1 behind catalytic converter – below lower threshold P1121 Oxygen sensor heating 2 behind catalytic converter – below lower threshold Very odd that you would get all four O2 sensors with no heating. Something get disconnected?
  23. Loren
    The first faults say the DME is not getting a signal from either cam position sensor. Now you are getting a fault that says it can't change the camshaft adjustment via actuator - this would seem logical to me. If you don't feel comfortable tracking this down you should get the car to a shop that specializes in late model Porsche's and has a PST or PIWIS tester.

    Have a look at TSB 24/05 9112 Navigation Module For PCM Installation Instructions (I No. 670) -- Feb 14, 2006 for the 997. It should be the pretty much the same .
