    Approved oil

    Loren replied to Captain Crunch's topic in 996 GT3

    There are 3 pages listing the approved oils (by Porsche) in the TSB. Unfortunately, Shell is not on the list. BP, Chevron, Mobil 1, Castrol (and many more) 5W-40 are all approved.

    Maybe this will help...

    Jeff, I just posted Joel's comment... Here is the inforamtion on changing the fuel filter: 1. Unhook clamps of air cleaner cover. Take out housing cover and filter element. 2. Separate air cleaner housing from intake air rail and unhook from air flow sensor. Lift up air cleaner housing and take out housing. Be careful no to lose the a-ring in the air cleaner housing / air flow sensor. 3. Undo fuel lines, using a second wrench to lock. Drain remaining fuel into a suitable container. 4. Undo clamp and remove fuel filter. 5. Fit new filter. Observe direction of flow = direction of arrow. 6. Start engine and check fuel lines and fuel filter for leaks. Check fuel and injection lines for leaks and tight fit!

    Ignition switch. Thanks! I hope it is not a very expensive repair. Anybody can tell me how much will cost me to replace ignition switch(parts and labor)? Do I have to go to Porsche dealer to fix it? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=493

    Okay folks, let's get this thread back to constructive comments about your experiences and facts. I personally don't believe any horsepower claims unless it has been proven by an impartial third party. If this thread continues down the road of personal comments about other members - it will be closed and warnings will be given. Please, the rules are simple - keep it clean and friendly... and keep it on topic.

    Sorry, I have no idea. US/Canada cars are on the right side. Maybe one of the UK guys here can tell you.

    Just pull the wheel lining back or fish for it from the bottom side.

    TSB 1/99 3005 Boost Spring for Clutch Pedal -- dated 3-25-1999 states: "As of October 12, 1998 production and the following VINs, the boost spring and clutch pedal have been optimized for minimal operational noise. 99 0XS 62 4135 Coupe 99 1XS 65 2616 Cabrio" If your car falls into this catagory then the following should be replaced: Clutch pedal, Boost spring bracket, Boost spring (spring painted purple), Optimol, Optitemp LG 2 grease. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TSB 2/00 3005 Clutch Pedal Noise -- dated 9-8-2000 "Squeaking noise.

    Added the 993 to the list of cars we can check. Durametric just sent me the 993 special cable.

    No problem I have a PST 2 and the Durametric Software so codes/faults are taken care of. See if you can get together with Tool Pants and find a location and date...

    The exhaust recall that I am aware of was for "...exhaust tailpipes worldwide on 18,627 units of the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S. This involves cars built between 20 April 2004 and 21 October 2005." This would not include his MY03 car.
  13. Loren
    Glad you got it taken care without a trip to the OPC. :thumbup:
  14. Loren
    Did you look here?

    Air does funny things depending on the amount and the compression. Has the circuit been open for anything? bleeding or leak? If it were my car I'd try bleeding it and see if it changes.
  16. Loren
    Looking towards the front. Pretty much the middle of the car.

    You are not playing with the battery - you are resetting the transponder per the instructions in by a Porsche TSB. I have done this many times - sometimes it is just a bad transponder and key fob has to be replaced. You likely need to find a shop (someone) with the Durametric Software or a PST2 to read the alarm fault codes. The Durametic can read the codes but not reset them. A PST2 can read and reset codes as well as test each part of the alarm and central locking system independently.

    The clutch on your car is hydraulic. For it to be that far off likely means that there is air in the lines or you have a leak. Have you checked the fluid level? You will likely have to take the black plastic cover off to see the fill marks on the reservoir. It is the Green cap in front luggage compartment - if it is low use Pentosin CHF 11 S hydraulic fluid (not brake fluid). In a few cases the clutch spring has failed and the pedal will (dramatically) go to the floor when pressed.

    Hmm... I found this: RoW M030 Sport Suspension Install How to install the RoW M030 Sport Suspension

    Flipping the battery causes an alarm transponder reset. It should clear up any communication issues between the key transponder and the alarm controller - unless the key fob is bad. Do you have the other key and does it do the same? Alarm readiness (light) states Each side has a separate fuse for the corresponding seat memory and mirror memory. So I doubt that both fuses are gone. Is this a US/Canada car or RoW? Where are you located?
  24. Loren
    If it was a fuse using the key to lock the doors would not work. There is only one fuse for the alarm/central locking system. The mirrors work normally when the key is switched on in the ignition? How new is the battery in your key fob? Try the procedure here.
  25. Loren
    No flashing light usually means the alarm self-test did not pass. Does your car make a beep when you lock it? If so, then you have an alarm fault and a zone is open or faulty.
