    That was my point I've see kits with them and without them -- maybe a little too tongue in cheek - :lol:

    Once the airbag light comes on it can only be turned off with a PST2, PIWIS or the Durametric Software. Besfore it is reset thye should read the fault code so you can see what turned it on - and correct the problem. My guess is it is likely a seat belt buckle (unless you took the steering wheel off recently). ;)
  3. Loren
    Yes, but the PSS9's will go faster since the coils are already mounted on the struts.

    The OBD II manual says for P0343 to repair the wiring harness. "Check signal wire from DME control module, Pin III/12, to CMP sensor for short to B+. Connect special tool 9637 to wiring harness (DME control module plug) - Remove connector of CMP sensor 1 - Switch on the ignition - Measure voltage between special tool 9637 Pin III/12 and ground 0 V is ok. If not 0V repair the wiring harness.

    As I recall the screws don't come with the 5 mm spacers either. You use the two that hold the rotor on.
  6. Loren
    The mk1 wheels used 5 mm spacers on the RoW GT3 because the brakes are bigger. They are not required for use of the wheels on a 996 Carrera. The sizes/offsets are -- Front: 18 x 8 offset 52 mm Rear: 18 x 10 offset 65 mm

    GT3 DME

    Loren replied to pgwilliams's topic in 996 GT3

    DME 7.8

    You have to turn it off.

    Check your emissions warranty - it is usually much longer than the rest of the car. I think my MY99 California Emissions Warranty is 7 years / 70,000 miles.

    It works for me (using Firefox 1.5)... and last time I checked RennTech.org members got a discount.

    Here is a very similar question asked at PCA Tech http://www.pca.org/tech/tech_qa_question.a...F-D4F2CF848BE2}
  12. Loren
    The parts (except for the door itself) are the same as on the 996. Have a look here and here.

    Item 11 is the EVAP purge valve.
  14. Loren
    P0441 Fuel Tank Ventilation System - Above Limit - EVAP canister purge valve open - Pressure sensor faulty P1531 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 - Open circuit in triggering wire. - Open circuit in B+ supply. - Actuator faulty BTW... all the fault codes are listed here.

    I have not tried this "new" method from Porsche yet. It is per supplement 98 from 2005 of the Carrera (996) Service Manual. With pressure on the system I guess air should not flow back in.
  16. Loren
    Try re-training the windows. Hold the button down until the window goes down all the way - then hold it for about 10 seconds. Do the same for the up motion. If that doesn't do it then like PorscheFan said you may need a new window regulator.

    The trick I used was to add the GT3 third radiator and connect it to the engine cooling system. That does nothing for the transmission but can really drop temps for the engine during track events and running on hot days. IMHO unless you are running some 24 hour (or even 12 hour) distance race you don't likely need any transmission cooling.
  18. Loren
    That could be a bad sensor. I would wait a little and see if the problems go away with the new oil separator.
  19. Loren
    Uh... you will not be burning it through the intake anymore? It sounds logical to me.
  20. Loren
    How many miles on your current filter? I think I would reset the DME and Instrument Cluster by disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes first. The car will run a little rough when you first start it up as it relearns the DME program but it might solve your problem.
  21. Loren
    I wonder if you can use the TT aerokit harness (996 612 070 30)?
  22. Loren
    Looks to me like there are two plastic nuts holding it in place (under the cover?).
  23. Loren
    :oops: my typo it should be 996.612.070.20
  24. Loren
    I think you are looking for 996.612.070.70 wiring harness for rear deck lid. You might want to double check with JeffClark@sunsetimports.com
  25. Loren
    Hmm... maybe time to find a new shop... The TSB 3005 might need to be done if your car falls before the VIN range stated for the problem. If your VIN is after that range then you should have the newer parts. Still they should inspect it for wear and to the cause of the squeak. It could be a bad clutch spring too.
