    Only C4 has a problem with this - it is even noted in the Owners manual. The C4 has a "saddle bag" fuel tank - that is, part of the tank sits on each side of the front wheel drive axle. So the fuel level sender is only on one side and it does not know how much gas is on the other side - it guesses. So if you let the tank get too low it can get confused. The easy fix is to always fill the tank as it reaches the 1/4 mark.

    Based on the squeak - I would start with the belt.
  3. Loren
    Yes. That is the standard 3 spoke (normal size) wheel in leather.

    Sub woofer to fit a Cab or Targa. You would need to add a color code to end of the part number to order. For example: 996.645.567.00.A10 would be a sub woofer enclosure in black.
  5. Loren
    Oh... now you tell us it's a Tip... now you see why we ask for: - Model year - Body Style (i.e. C2 Coupe, C4 Cab, C4S Cab, etc.) - Transmission type (i.e. 6 speed or Tiptronic) - Interior color (when relevant) -· Country specific information (LHD, RHD, RoW, US, Canada) ;) A different steering wheel with switches. The part number 996.347.804.64 is a standard 3 spoke leather wheel for a Tip. You will want 996.347.983.01 plus your color code.
  6. Loren
    Craig is correct with the main part number 996.347.983.00 A few color codes change with model year. For example if you want black: 8YR would be for MY00 and older A28 would be for MY01 and newer Many of the leather colors have multiple color codes also - so you would need to tell us your model year and color to get the exact number.

    PM Eric (Plug Guy) - I'm sure he and his company knows.

    Do you mean on the car? It should be in the owners manual on your options sticker. On the options sticker under the front hood. If not in any of those places then The paint data plate is attached to the left side wall under the carpet in the luggage compartment.
  9. Loren
    And your fault code is???
  10. Loren
    Sounds high to me. I had a 5 year/100,000 miles for $2495.
  11. Loren
    Both go to the alarm/central locking control unit. Any other weird electrical problems?
  12. Loren
    UK and US clusters are different. Plus you need to look for a like model C2 or C4, 6-speed or Tiptronic, etc.
  13. Loren
    Please try a search - this has been covered here many times for the 986 and 996 (the process is the same).
  14. Loren
    Have a look at TSB 1/98 1546 New O-ring on Oil Protection Pipe --dated May 14, 1998.
  15. Loren
    :lol: Porsche's term for certain decorative trim pieces is "rose". They call the trim around the ignition switch that as well as the trim around the rear panel where the seat belt hides inside the panel. There are probably more but those two come to mind.
  16. Loren
    Looks like it just pulls straight out.
  17. Loren
    You need a special adapter cable from Becker. http://www.beckerautosound.com/parts/cable_part_number.html

    The most common problem is dirty sensors. They don't sense properly when they are covered with dirt, ice or snow.
  19. Loren
    MY99 had some clutch spring problems - so if the noise is coming from under the dash (rather than the rear of the car) then the problem is likely a pedal/clutch spring problem. There are a couple of TSBs on this problem. If the noise is a creaking noise from the transmission bell housing then they likely did not replace your clutch release arm when they changed your clutch. Some MY99 cars had bad clutch release arms - there is a TSB on this also.
  20. Loren
    There is a TSB on this. You need to make sure the bumper and headlight vents are not blocked with debris. I have also seen a poorly aligned bumper cover that made this problem worse. BTW... Porsche says a small amount of "fogging" is normal and the ventilation system should clear it in normal driving.
  21. Loren
    The valve cover oil leaks should not be related to the emissions code you got previously. If the code did not come back then the problem is cured. Are you sure the valve cover gaskets are leaking and not the oil tubes or Variocam sensors? I would clean the area good and try to ascertain exactly where the leaks are coming from.
  22. Loren
    Model year of your car please?
  23. Loren
    Alan, Do a search here for "instrument cluster". The removal has been covered many many times.
  24. Loren
    The back seat area in a coupe and cab are different. The cab has roll down windows the coupe does not. I doubt the seats or panels from a cab would work at all in a coupe.
  25. Loren
    If it was the clutch slave cylinder I would think you would have the trouble in all gears.
