    The radiator is the same for all - the hoses are different. Gert can give you any part numbers you need from his kit. http://www.carnewal-europe.com/cpx_p96064.htm

    RS Flywheel

    Loren replied to RayGT3's topic in 996 GT3

    Well, yes. Because they use the same flywheel (996.114.012.50).

    There isn't one to my knowledge. But every service tech I know - knows to replace any 00 part number cap.

    We have added and/or updated TSBs in the following categories today (56 total): Boxster (986): 1 Boxster (987): 11 Cayman (987): 14 Carrera (996): 1 Carrera (997): 13 Cayenne: 7 CGT: 1 GT3 (997): 1 TT/GT2 (996): 2 TT/GT2 (997): 1 General: 4

    Take the blade off and inspect the mounting shaft. Older Porsches were splined but I've never had to take a 996 blade off yet.

    If it is OBD II compatible it should be able to read P-codes (mainly DME).

    If there is fluid and it still comes on then it is likely a bad connection or a bad level sensor.

    The 997 uses a returnless fuel line so I don't see any a pressure return valve (to get stuck on).

    Frank - it was deleted because this is the second post on the same topic. Please re-read the Board Guidelines/Rules. Double posting just wastes everyone's time and resources. I am closing this post so all the replies will be in one place. I replied to your previous post.

    P1539 -- Actuator triggered, no active position. Potential causes: Open circuit in triggering wire, or Open circuit in B+ supply, or Actuator faulty. Well it could be just a bad connection or a pinched wire. They should use a meter on the wires and actuator first. I have to agree that if it were the actuator the car would run like crap. Really sounds like an intermittent connection to me.

    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.
  18. Loren
    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 ?

    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.
  25. Loren
    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).
