    Yes, but Porsche also recommends new lines/fittings. The bleeding/adjusting procedure will also need to be performed.
  2. Loren
    If it runs fine without the MAF then it is highly likely a bad MAF.
  3. Loren
    I agree with Ron about the MAF. What air filter do you have? a factory (paper) one or an after market (oiled) filter?
  4. Loren
    I have never had any trouble like that - do you have an after market exhaust? I guess you could always bend it a little and then bend it back.
  5. Loren
    Hey Loren, radio-code.co.uk returned a code of 6609 for my serial, this code did not work. Any idea why they are returning 6609 and you returned 5597/5595? Why the discrepancy? What am I missing? My serial number is 15087103 Just curious, thanks I have no idea - my program either works or it doesn't. We do not know why it only works on 98% of the radios - I guess only Becker knows. ;)

    :welcome: On a non-aerokit C4S the part number for the lower spoiler is: 996.505.555.02.01C Spoiler in satin black -- (US) MSRP $177.35 (as of Dec 2007). If your car has an aerokit it will be different.

    The Porsche Technik specifies the standard turbos - I don't know about the K24 (X50/GT2) turbos. I think the theory of operation is still the same - the DME limits boost based on the other variables. I'll keep looking but there is not much documentation (that I have found) on the GT2/X50 turbos.
  8. Loren
    My understanding is that the DME controls max boost pressure based on a number of variables (like altitude, exhaust turbine speed, load, etc. etc.). One goal is not to allow the exhaust turbines to exceed 8,000 RPM - so I think max boost is variable depending on factors the DME sees at the time. At least that is how I understand the explanation in the Porsche TT Technik Book.

    Most common is a loose connector at the coil pack (from the ignition wire). Then the cracked coil pack. And finally, a cracked or bad spark plug. Coil packs had an MSRP around $60 last I recall - but I'm sure Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can do much better than that. Spark plugs for a MY99 are: 999.170.207.51 Spark Plug (14FGR 6KQU). I strongly suggest that you do not mix spark plugs - so use what is in there are replace them all.
  10. Loren
    All oil use is a bit subjective - previously Porsche recommended 15W-50. But for whatever reason they took that off a couple of years ago. If you race your car and you have had good luck with 20W-50 I see no reason to change. JMHO
  11. Loren
    There is a lot there to disassemble (and partially re-assemble) - it might be easier to just buy a replacement fixed wing.
  12. Loren
    Try cleaning all the oil off the area first - then drive the car and inspect to see where it is really coming from.
  13. Loren
    P1313 Misfire, Cylinder 1, Emission Relevant Look for: - Fouled, faulty or incorrect spark plugs - Contact resistance (broken coil pack) - Loose contacts Cylinder 1 is the rear most cylinder on the left side of the car.
  14. Loren
    The latest TSB (dated April 11, 2007) states: "All Porsche standard production vehicles with the exception of the Porsche Cayenne (V6)."
  15. Loren
    My point was more of hitting the open cover with your elbow while driving (that is how I broke my hinge). Again this is just IMHO.
  16. Loren
    Those are not factory - I do not know who makes them. If you have an early Boxster and you use that cupholder then you are likely to break the hinge on the center console cover. The original cars had plastic hinges and they broke very easily. The replacement is made of metal but I still am not sure that cupholder is a good idea.
  17. Loren
    Where is this socket located and which pins are used for testing for alt output? Try following the wires back from the alternator.
  18. Loren
    You are looking at a lot of work for little weight (IMHO).
  19. Loren
    Removing the dash is at least an 8 hour job...
  20. Loren
    Try 1343 or 1341

    :welcome: In one phrase - 4 wheel drive. The TT has 4WD - I suspect it will handle much better.
  24. Loren
    Are you sure it is the cam cover and not the cam actuator? When you remove the cam cover the cams need to be held in place.
  25. Loren
    Sorry, then you will need to contact your dealer or Becker.
