    :welcome: The late model Carrera 5 spoke wheel came in - Fronts: 7.5 x 18 offset 50 mm 8 x 18 offset 50 mm Rear: 10 x 18 offset 65 mm Chances are the fronts are 8 x18.

    Try 5067 or 5065

    I don't understand... if the spoiler always works with the manual switch then the hydraulics of the spoiler are fine and don't need anything. Chances are you have an intermittent microswitch on the spoiler.

    Sorry, I can not do that - that is copyrighted material.

    The 17 mm spacer fit differently than the 5 mm spacers. The 17 mm spacer get put on first with the original wheel bolts. Then you mount the tire on the exposed studs and tighten the log nuts provided. The 5 mm spacer are just screwed on to the wheel hub and then you use the longer (red) wheel bolts. The 5 mm kit looks like this.

    The TT service manual does not say one way or the other. The Carrera service manual definitely says no anti-seize. I personally don't see a need a for it and it can cause more problems than help. Here is why I think so... The heads a light alloy and can be easily stripped. The spark plug torque is only 22 ft/lbs. If you are not careful you can get anti-seize on the electrode(s). Most folks think that any lubricant on the threads will affect torque values. On cast iron head engines (and wheel lug nuts) I would use anti-seize but not on light alloy parts.

    Not a good design then... Porsche should know better...

    Here are the parts that are available:

    Odd that the service center would say that... The service manual simply says you have to remove the glove box and bend the metal tabs back to get the old airbag out. Installation just says to bend the metal tabs back when installing the new airbag.

    Does it always work with the manual switch? If so you can rule out the hydraulics. If you car is under warranty then it should be covered.

    Are they required for the wheel fitment? Or is it a personal preference? Any negatives to running them? Not required - optional as long as they are TT spec wheels. No negatives that I can think of.
  13. Loren
    The oil pressure sensor should be tested. They have been know to leak and fail.
  14. Loren
    Porsche says 17 mm are ok on the rear and 5 mm on the front. They only say no chains with the spacers.
  15. Loren
    Please do a search here - this has been covered many many times...
  16. Loren
    There were a number of software upgrades that are documented in TSBs. If the upgrades have been done then it is likely that your PCM is bad.
  17. Loren
    You can replace the airbag if you are very careful - be sure to disconnect the battery and leave the car sit for a while. A compete dash replacement is a very big job too.
  18. Loren
    How thick are the spacers ? Are the lug bolts red?
  19. Loren
    On the AC control... Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the temperature up ("+") button to switch between degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit on the Climate Control Temperature and Instrument Panel Outside Temperature displays.

    If the CEL is on solid it is okay to drive. If the CEL is flashing the car should not be run (damage to the catalytic converters will occur). Make sure the dealer sees TSB 6/07 2820 Bar Ignition Modules (Coils) dated Jul 5, 2007. It clearly specifies what is covered under warranty.
  21. Loren
    Loren, Thanks for the excellent info. I'm still wondering if this is covered by the 7 year/70,000 mile California extended emissions warranty. Perhaps - you will need to check with your dealer.

    There are US type plate mounts and RoW type plate mounts. If you are in the US - then just get the parts that are missing for US plate mounts. (items, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=85254 Even though this parts list is for a Boxster - your Carrera uses the same parts.

    Sometimes you have to wiggle the headlight a little too. If they don't wiggle then they may not be unlocked. If you get really desperate you can always go in from behind by loosening the wheel well liner.
  25. Loren
    Just clips and they will likely break so order new ones.
