    Not really - just don't crack the plastic.

    In a TT the brake fluid and clutch fluid are completely seperate - one can not affect the other. In a TT the clutch shares hydraulic fluid (Pentosin) with the power steering - so the problem you are seeing could be with either the clutch or power steering system. Is anyone turning the steering wheel or actuating the clutch while the engine is off? As I mentioned above - this would cause the fluid level to rise (per the service manual).

    The sticker should be on the drivers door just below the lock mechanism.

    A little early for a sensor failure but I would get someone with an OBD II tool that can graph and show the O2 sensors voltage. My guess is that one or more of the sensors is not working like it should. Also, are you sure your CEL light is not removed or burn't out. Does it come on when you turn the key to the on position?
  5. Loren
    On the drivers door is tag - it has your build date on it. Check the date against the date I provided in the post above. If it is a newer build than that date then you have the new seal.

    Bumper cover? Just normal hand tools - screwdrivers, hand wrenches, etc.

    How many Km on the car? You may need new O2 sensors as they degrade over there lifespan. For US cars the PST2 has a test - if you don't get 5 happy faces then you won't pass emissions. I don't think RoW cars have the vent test.
  8. Loren
    The best list I know of is here
  9. Loren
    All of those point back to the O2 sensors before the cats - check the wiring. Are you sure you have the right sensors?

    "The new hose was introduced into production on July 24th, 2000". As I recall there are even newer hoses than ones in that TSB (10-06-00) - at least the parts list shows newer part numbers. Ask your dealer when you order.
  11. Loren
    These are US part numbers - you didn't say where you are located. I think it is 993.641.302.00.61W Tach for Carrera 993S 6 speed. It looks like it only comes in steel grey. or if you have OBC (M659) then it would be 993.641.332.00.61W Tach for Carrera 993S, 6 speed, and OBC. It looks like it only comes in steel grey too.

    Yes, you will need the radio tools. You can likely borrow them from a local owner or shop. It takes about 30 seconds to use them. How to get the factory radio out?
  13. Loren
    I answered your PM...
  14. Loren
    Talk to the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost - at the top center of any page). You want part number: 923.559.325.01 Logo 912E
  15. Loren
    There are a number of TSBs with fixes for noises. Most of the fixes involve felt tape and Teflon tape.
  16. Loren
    Yes, there were upgraded by Porsche in TSB 2/00 2139 Power Loss and Lack of Acceleration -- dated 10-06-2000. Get the latest hoses from your supplier and if they blow off again you will need the silicone ones.
  17. Loren
    IMHO newer is always better unless there is something specific you want certain model year for.
  18. Loren
    No problem... CEL = Check Engine Light
  19. Loren
    I wouldn't think it would be over 1 hour - they might have to remove the belly pan plastic to get the other end. If it is a vent line (as I suspect it is they might cover it under your emissions warranty. You may be lucky and it isn't leaking enough to throw a CEL yet.
  20. Loren
    Look like a vent hose for the fuel line.
  21. Loren
    Any lights? Does it ask for the security "CODE"? If not, check the fuse on the back of the radio.
  22. Loren
    None. The C4 will be a little heavier because it has 4 wheel drive. Just the usual... Do a CarFax. Get dealer records if you can. Get a PPI and/or a CPO car. Ask someone from your local PCA (that is familiar with the 996) to help you look at a prospect car.
  23. Loren
    Two questions... Is your car a Tiptronic? Does the hose connection that exits the pic on the right go tot a solenoid then to then throttle body?
  24. Loren
    The new (125 01) MAF is "supposed" to be less susceptible to dirt fouling - with an aftermarket filter/intake that would seem to make sense to me.
  25. Loren
    I don't think the VIN includes that information. It is either a C2 or C4 since the C4S did not come out until MY02.
