    Model Year? (it does make a difference)

    In the 997 and 987 the windows are managed through a controller in each door. I am still checking but it looks like the controllers in the Cayman and 997 are the same. If that is the case then it is a programming issue.

    Should be inexpensive - just tighten the bolts.

    986 Boxster, 996 Carrera, 996 GT3, 996 TT, 996 GT2 all use the same crummy ignition switch. There is plenty of information here including different switch numbers as well as installation tips.

    Actually N-spec as defined by Porsche means: So I think it is more of a case that they have to be "Porsche tested - and approved". Contributing Members can read the Porsche N-Spec fact sheet in the Contributing Members forum.

    viper501 is correct - you will need a new DME and some wiring that is missing to make it run right. Todd Holyoak has written some DIY tips for a conversion for a Boxster. The good news is that you won't have to move any fuel rails (the engine faces the opposite direction in a Boxster). Todd's write is here.

    Please try using search next time - there is a whole section on this... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7592

    What year is your car? ( so we know the DME version) and is it a C2 or C4?
  11. Loren
    One of the most common causes is loose swaybar mounts.

    If you have the new shifter installed (the inside version) then the tool will do you no good - it doesn't fit the new shifter rod. If you count the threads from the connector end the left (reverse) cable is usually 4-5 threads and the right is usually 6-7 threads - at least in my experience. That should get you pretty close. If that doesn't work then you will likely have to borrow a standard shifter from someone - install it - then use the tool to align the cables.

    996.631.05.00 Left reflector cover (orange) If you have Litronics (or upgraded your headlights) use: 996.631.45.01 Left reflector cover (clear)

    Well you need to test master and slave cylinders for internal leaks. If the slave cylinder is leaking, the outside of the casting will usually be wet with fluid and you will occasionally have to add fluid. If the master cylinder is leaking it will wet the inside of the firewall at the clutch pedal linkage.

    The gas flap (door) only locks when you lock the car (it is also alarmed). It shares the locking/alarm circuit with front hood.

    Contributing Members have access to this much more... ;)

    Just click on the Donate link at the top left of any page and follow the instructions.

    Well, either the master or slave could be leaking internally. The slave is high on the transmission and has a hydraulic hose going to it (also a bleed valve).

    There are two parts. The foot rest (item 2) and the foot rest cover (item 5). Do you need one or both?

    I was in a dealership shop and saw tech do this in about 15 minutes. He used a battery powered tool to remove all the pan bolts - but the reinstall was all by hand. Remember 7.5 ft/lbs is not very much.

    I had seen that statement. I just don't know what all they are calling "oil pumps". Technically I guess oil return pumps are pumping oil but if your main oil pump fails the result would be the same. Here is a further explanation: "In comparison to the 8 oil pumps on the 911 Turbo (996), the new 911 Turbo features an additional extraction pump in the crankcase, resulting in a total of 9 oil pumps. These break down into 8 oil extraction and one oil delivery pump: 2 oil extraction pumps for the turbochargers, 4 oil extraction pumps for the cylinder heads (2 per cylinder head), and 2 extraction pumps and one delivery pump in the crankcase."

    Same fill location. Hmm... I know there is one main oil pump and then one oil return pump for each cylinder bank - that make 3. Where are the other 6?

    Ok, much different problem. The clutch is hydraulic so there would likely be little seen movement except back at the slave cylinder - and most of the moving parts are inside the transmission housing. Any signs of visible leaks at the clutch master cylinder (near the pedals) or the clutch slave cylinder (on the transmission)? Sounds like either the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder is bad.
  25. Loren
    The controllers will be needed for almost everything.
