    ... or any independent shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    :welcome: No, for a MY2003 car you will need a MOST (fiber optic) compatible CD changer. The Porsche designation is CDC-4. You occasionally see them on eBay.

    1 liter will be more than enough.

    If all the couplings are tight then it is likely a broken weld. Unfortunately this has happened a few times.

    You need to figure out if the noise is in the sunroof or headliner or even the A,B , or C pillars. There are 4 TSBs on noises in the sunroof. I suggest you start by reading the TSBs and seeing if any of them describe your problem. 12a/98 6014 New Sunroof Drive Motor 5/01 6028 Noises from the New Style Sunroof Frame 1/03 6028 Tilting/Sliding Roof Noises 12/98 6040 Work on the Sliding Roof

    RS Flywheel

    Loren replied to RayGT3's topic in 996 GT3

    The M96 flywheel is 8 bolts the GT3/TT/GT2 flywheel is 9 bolts.

    Check for a P0102 fault. P0102 is the same error you will get if the MAF is unplugged. This can also cause ABS and PSM lights to come on as the DME is not sensing the PSM data and combining it with the throttle position and mass air flow readings. Second possibility is a (intermittent) bad wheel sensor. A shop with a PST2 could test that for you.

    Not to my knowledge. You might try Eric the Plug Guy at bumperplugs.com

    These are the only colors available as May 2006 PET (have the dealer look in the Carrera section as they don't show in TT). 996 552 096 01 A03 SHELF-BLACK LAQ -- MSRP $46.00 996 552 096 01 C02 CONSOLE SHELF-METAL -- MSRP$46.00 996 552 096 01 D05 CONSOLE SHELF-GRANITE GREY -- MSRP $46.00

    Sounds like a bad ignition switch to me... There are lots of posts on that here as well as a DIY to replace it.

    Sorry, I thought you said the compressor was running.

    These are newer than what is posted above (per TSB: 4495 13/03 Front Axle Alignment Specifications 10-24-03). Notes: - The following values relate to the empty weight, i.e. full fuel tank, vehicle with tire repair kit (or spare wheel, collapsible wheel) and tools, but without driver and without additional weights. - Tire pressure in accordance with regulations. - If the vehicle is a Cayenne with air suspension, it must be adjusted to normal level. Adjust from the low level to the normal level for the vehicle. The vehicle may be aligned and adjusted in this position only. - If the control module or one of the level sensors was replaced, calibration must be carried out with the Porsche System Tester.

    Standard or M030 sport suspension? US or RoW?

    The usual cause of no cooling is a refrigerant leak. Any good AC shop should be able to test that. If there is a leak your average shop may not find it. Still your best bet is a Porsche "aware" AC shop. Usually the local Porsche club should have a few folks to recommend. Where are you located again?
  19. Loren
    1. Yes, just the rears. 2. Buy a torque wrench at Sears. It will be a well spent $60. The drain plug should be 37 ft/lbs. Use it for your wheel bolts too (96 ft/lbs).
  20. Loren
    IMHO - I would never use a stop leak product on a Porsche. The last thing you would want on your expensive engine is a port in the block sealed. Chances are you have a leaking coolant tank and/or cap. There is a DIY in the 996 DIY forum.
  21. Loren
    Both faults relate to the amount of air the engine is seeing (or thinks it sees). I would start by removing the MAF and cleaning it with electronic contact cleaner. While doing so inspect the connections to the MAF and make sure they are not damaged. It likely would not hurt to clean the idle control valve too. Use carb cleaner on that and the throttle body/butterfly.
  22. Loren
    1. Drain plug location 2. Warm (does not need to be hot) and yes turn it off. 3. Yes, I use 3 2x10's to do the same thing. 4. No, the best way is to use a torque wrench. If you don't have one then just tighten using a short wrench. You don't need (or want) to overtighten it).
  23. Loren
    Usually the sealing ring is sold with the oil filter (at least good dealers do). I would remove the filter oil, let it drain for a few minutes then put it back on. I would put 8 quarts in run it for a few minutes then shut it off. Wait 5 minutes and then measure the oil. One or two bars from the top is okay. More damage can be done if you overfill.
  24. Loren
    Rough running after disconnecting the battery is normal as the DME re-learns the cars idle and octane fuel mix. If it doesn't return to normal after 30 minutes or so then have your code(s) read an an Autozone (for free) or other shop and report back here.

    996.351.959.01 Front Brake Mounting Kit -- MSRP $25.59 (as of May 2006) 996.352.959.01 Rear Brake Mounting Kit -- MSRP $50.04 (as of May 2006) Same part number front and rear -- should be the same price from the dealer. (edit - as Tool Pants pointed out we both misread it... here is the corrected version) I have no idea why the rear costs more...
