  1. ABS Fault 4440 -- Steering-angle sensor - The PSM function is switched off. - The ABS function is switched off - The ESD function is switched off - The ASR function is switched off "If the fault codes 4400 Transverse acceleration sensor, 4420 Rate of turn sensor and 4440 Steering-angle sensor are displayed together, there may be an open circuit in the circuit to control module terminal 39." If you want the full diagnostic procedure - send me a PM.
  2. Tips from past Work On Cars Days... 1. Make sure you have all of your parts - and that they are the right parts. 2. If you are changing fluids (oil, brake fluid, etc.) - plan to bring something to carry them away in. 3. Plan to clean up any spills or mess you make. 4. Help us plan ahead - tell us what you want to do. Depending on the number of people/cars we try not to take on anything that will take more than a couple of hours each.
  3. Try LA Dismantlers or Parts Heaven in Northern Ca.
  4. With or without AC? US/Canada car or RoW?
  5. You will need the switch and the proper relay. Check your PSE relay. If your relay ends in 01 or 02 then it will work with the switch. If it end in 00 then it won't.
  6. Possibly... but won't the fuel pressure regulator negate that?
  7. Under performing seal, Article by Phil White
  8. It is easy and only requires a flat blade screwdriver. The process is the same for Carrera, Boxster, GT2, GT3, and TT. http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/clear_sidemarkers.htm

  10. C4S uses the TT running gear - totally different.
  11. We have added the US and Canadian GT3 RS order to the MY07 Order guides available to download. You can find them here.
  12. Yes, if you get the exhaust and the manual switch you can set it up to be controlled only by the switch. See a DIY in the 996 DIY section. You need to order both the mufflers and the switch (the switch is sold separately). There are two small holes that need to be drilled through the heat shield for the vacuum control lines. Most of the rest is standard muffler replacement stuff. The electronics and wiring will need to be added. That will require removing one seat and adding a relay to the relay panel (under the left front dash). Probably a 4-5 hour job (being careful and first time install). Porsche dealers usually charge 6-7 hours (book) labor. The full (6 page) Porsche Sport Exhaust Installation TSB is available here to view for Contributing Members.

  14. Contributing Member juankimalo has graciously provided a 996 Buyers Guide in Spanish from his website Soloporsche.com. We have added they guides to the Public Download section here. Although my Spanish is limited to "dos cerveza por favor" ;) -- this guide looks very well done.
  15. Try looking in recent issues of Excellence magazine. Every month they review market values, trends and affects on various Porsche models.

  17. Porsche tends to report sales numbers by geographic region - and then not at all in some regions. Doncapecod usually reports monthly sales numbers for PCNA (Porsche Cars North America) here in the News section.

  20. Sunset Imports or Carnewal.com
  21. They are pretty easy to change. Since they come with the retractor you just bolt them in place of the old ones.
  22. The switch is at the front trunk latch assembly. See the DIY (adjustment) here.
  23. I think it would be more cost effective to trade for a Tiptronic car. Tiptronics use different springs and shocks because the cars weight balance is different. You would also need a 3rd radiator cooling lines to the Tiptronic ATF cooler.
