As I recall the factory seat belt buckle can be taken off the factory seat along with the factory cabling. It then becomes a case of connecting the buckle hardware to the new seat.

The airbag light will not go out on its own - it must be reset with the Durametric software, PST2 or PIWIS tester. Some racers use a 100 ohm resister across the seat belt buckle to fool the airbag circuit (since they are using a 6-point harness).

Read through the posts here about coolant tanks and caps. If your coolant tank cap ends in 00 (instead of 01) then it needs to be replaced. Is the coolant level going down? Do you see any leaks under the car on hoses etc. ? Before you replace the air pump check the simple stuff - can you hear it run when you start the car? (it sounds a little like a vacuum cleaner to me), check the fuse, check the relay relay, and make it is still plugged in. US MSRP for the air pump is $1200.81. You can drive the car if the CEL is solid. If the CEl is flashing then you are doing damage to the TWC (three way catalytic convertors) and the car should not be driven.

You are correct - no fuel filter from MY02 on. IMHO you need to have the fault codes read and report them here - otherwise it's just shooting in the dark.

P0410 (Porsche fault code 80) and P1411 (Porsche fault code 208) indicate your second air pump is not likely working. You should check: - Wiring harness or fuse - Relay - Air supply lines restricted. - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve P0302 and P0303 are misfires on cylinders 2 and 3 - if these are only when the engine is cold then it could be related to the secondary air pump problem. The pump does not run after the engine reaches operating temperature. I would fix the secondary air pump problem - clear the codes and then see what you get. Right now there are too many variables. Where are you located? US? or ?

I sent you a PM...

Yes, the inside door panel needs to come off to get to the door handle mechanism. See the DIY for the door panel in the 996 DIY section.

From the TSB... "- for a frequency of 315 MHz: 130 mm (USA/Canada/Mexico/Australia/Japan/Hong Kong) - for a frequency of 433 MHz: 100 mm (all other countries)."

Item 14 - There is one for the left door and one for the right door. 996.613.125.00 Left door microswitch -- MSRP $24.90 (as of May 2006) 996.613.126.00 Right door microswitch -- MSRP $24.90 (as of May 2006)

I asked Peter Smith about this a couple of months ago after a couple of our members reported similar problems. He said that they have seen weird electrical problems caused by a bad front end control module. Your dealership service department should be aware of this - and able to fix it.

The type in your post fits MY02 and newer 996 Carrera's that have the "face-lift" fenders and bumpers. The one in the pic also happens to be Bi-xenon (as opposed to standard Halogen).

Hmm... Peter Smith told me 4 hours... if you are slow.

I didn't say you took it - I said "that site" had a TSB that came from here. Unless that is your site you did nothing wrong.

Lift the cap (item 16) on that one wiper blade and check and see if the nut has come loose. If not that then... Check the tightness of the wiper link screws - I've heard of these coming loose before too.

I don't have a CDR-21 manual but his is what the CDR-210 manual says:

Porsche 911 GT3 RS To Make North American Debut 911 GT3 RS most track-focused, road-legal 911 to appear on North American shores since the legendary '73 Carrera RS May 30, 2006 — North America is set to receive its first production version of the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Beyond its unique livery, the GT3 RS is distinguished from the GT3 on which it’s based by broader rear flanks and reduced weight, further distilling the driving experience to that of a racing car, but one which meets all the requirements for street-legal sports cars. This purist’s variant of the 911 GT3—a model particularly well-suited for track outings—will arrive in time for spring 2007. Not since the venerable 1973 911 Carrera RS has such a production Porsche been available in this market. The Carrera RS was a special, lightweight 911 produced to homologate the vehicle for racing. That tradition continues with the new 911 GT3 RS, which is modified to serve as the homologation model for a range of worldwide racing series. The RS’s immediate predecessors have garnered more than 50 victories and five championships in the American Le Mans Series, as well as overall victory at the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The modifications made to the 911 GT3 RS begin with the bodywork. Compared to the GT3, the rear of the RS is 44mm wider, as it is based on the fuller-bodied 911 Carrera 4 models. The muscular-looking rear end conceals a wider track that not only improves directional stability, but also increases the potential for lateral grip on this two-seat coupe. Despite its specialized body, the GT3 RS is lighter than the GT3. This weight-saving was achieved through the use of—among other solutions—a carbon fiber composite for the front lid, and an adjustable carbon fiber wing. Modifications on the GT3 RS geared specifically toward race-regulations include the rear wheel carrier, split rear-suspension wishbones, and the carbon-fiber components. The quick-revving nature and peak output of the 911 GT3’s 3.6-liter flat-Six remains the same, with the highly-tuned Boxer mill generating 415 horsepower at 7,600 rpm, on the way to an 8,400 rpm redline. The new 911 GT3 RS will be available in two standard finishes: Black or Arctic Silver metallic. As an option, the GT3 can also be decked out in brilliant orange or green paintwork. All vehicle insignia and the wheels themselves are styled in orange or black to contrast with the body color. The 911 GT3 RS’s interior lives up to the vehicle's race-derived styling. Internal trim is black, with the roof lining, steering wheel and gear stick trimmed in high-quality Alcantara leather. The 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS will reach the North American market in the spring of 2007, at a price to be announced. Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

Fault code(s)? Have they looked at the ICV (Idle Control Valve) solenoid? Only MY98 and 99 C2's have an ICV.

If you want part numbers you might give us the model year and color of the door panels in your car. last time I looked these up they were very pricey at $800 to $900 each. I do not know where you are located but there is a company near Sacramento, CA that will convert your door panels for much less.

It is likely the sub-assembly number not the (orderable) part number.

Radio model? CDR220 or CDR210 or CR210 or ?

As the TT Service manual shows... logo placement is the same "centered" layout as the Carrera 4S. 1. Find the middle of the lid. 2. Position logo Carrera with the dimensions A = 185 mm and B = 31 mm on the rear lid and affix. 3. Position logo S with the dimensions C = 185 mm and B = 29 mm on the rear lid and affix. 4. Insert logo 4 in the external cut opening arrow of the logo S. Removal is usually dental floss and a heat gun (or warm sun). Clean surface with some 3M adhesive remover and then atach the new logo.
