    1. The 3.8 liter engine has a switch resonator installed in the air cleaner housing. In order to remove the air cleaner housing, the cable plug must be disconnected from the electric switch−over valve 1. 2. Unclip the tandem pump vacuum line from the air cleaner housing. Note - the rubber sleeves for securing the air cleaner housing Disconnect plug connection on the hot film mass air flow meter 2. Press together the locking lever on the plug and pull the plug off the flange. Unclip the connection lead at the omega clips. 3. a. Undo the threaded sleeve for the rubber moulding of the air cleaner housing from the throttle body 1 b. Unclip the oil filling pipe from the air cleaner housing 3 and then lift the air cleaner housing out of the fastening lug 4. 4. Unclip the switch−over valve for the switch resonator from the housing bracket 1 detach the vacuum line from the housing 2 and disconnect from the resonator. Note - The air cleaner housing should not be cleaned on the outside with strong cleaning agents. 5. Lift the air cleaner housing completely out of the engine compartment. If necessary, the outside of the housing can be cleaned using a damp cloth and some washing−up liquid. Then, lay the housing on a soft surface to avoid scratching the painted surface. "Then remove the 8 screws". Install is in the reverse order. If this works okay then let me know and we'll move this to the 997 DIY section.

    Take the A/C control out of "Auto" by using the fan switch (minus button) to turn the completely off -- keep clicking the minus button until the display says "off". If the noise goes away then it is the Heating/Cooling fan.

    My money is on a bad ignition switch....

    Alpine M-bus is a single wire connection -- MOST is a fiber optical connection.

    Sounds like maybe a loose rear swaybar.

    Those are just the corner triangles. You will need those and the complete headlight assembly in clear. -- Sunset is correct.

    Even though it might not be obvious the Garage has gone through a major upgrade. We tried to keep the user interface as familiar as possible. The Garage should be easier to use, more streamlined and scalable than ever, it includes a new ratings feature (rate cars on Interior, Exterior and Overall), and due to a lot of code optimization and reorganization -- it should be much - much faster. You will however need to update any external links to your car(s) in the Garage. Just visit your car in the garage and copy the URL after Link to your Vehicle:. It should look something like: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?&autocom=registry&cmd=view_item&CID=1 More update information in my Blog here

    :lol: ... the new 997 TT with Tiptronic S gearbox is faster than the 6 speed TT by 0.3 seconds.

    The Garage went through a major upgrade yesterday. Your link will need to be changed (as shown on your vehicle page). So, your new link will be http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?&...iew_item&CID=10 I'll make a News post right now...

    According to the Porsche Carrera Service Manual the MY99 Tiptronic performance is: 0-100 km/h (62.14 MPH) time of 6.0 seconds 0-160 km/h (99.42 MPH) time of 13.0 seconds 0-200 km/h (124.27 MPH) time of 20.4 seconds Porsche's "reported" times are always conservative.

    It could be a bad ground or a bad component in the system. I do not know where you are located but you need to find someone with a PST2. The PST2 can pinpoint problems in the alarm system within a few minutes through alarm codes and component testing. -- Otherwise you are guessing at more than 15 components that make up the alarm system. Some race or independent shops have PST2's and all dealers have them or the newer PIWIS tester.

    Yes, new will have too much oil. Wrap it in newspaepr over night and you will see what I mean. These are fine to use as long as they are not over oiled. I have had a BMC filter in my car for 6 years. When I clean it I just re-oil and then wrap in newspaper overnight to absorb the excess oil. Porsche uses BMC on all their Super Cup and other race cars.

    I did not have have any problems with the 285s and 10" factory wheels (63 mm offset). If you use larger sizes like 295 and 11" wheels then I think you may need to taper that seam back.
  19. Loren
    I think there was a control unit (box) for spoilers (except RS and turbo) . You may need to look at another 993 and compare what is there and what is not.
  20. Loren
    No, for legal reasons you are not allowed to copy or print the TSBs. They are for online viewing only.
  21. Loren
    If I were you I would take the K&N back out - wrap it in newspaper overnight to soak up all excess oil in the filter. If you don't do that you will likely foul your MAF sensor and get a check engine light in a matter of days.

    236 - 18" Tires

    Yes, all you need is a PST2 or PIWIS. Where are you located (I have a PST2)?
  24. Loren
    Most of those are in the listing here on the site.

    Remember these are Porsche (only) terms and refer to lighting systems on Porsches. Litronic was an option on the Boxster (986) from MY97 through MY05. MY99 through MY01 Carrera's (996) also had "Litronic" headlights as options. Bi-Xenon are options on all the newer cars and MY02 - MY05 996 Carrera's, all TT's/GT2 and MY04 and later GT3. Technically speaking, there is no difference between "Litronic" and "Xenon". Both systems are based on the principle of the gas discharge lamp. Trademark protection of different manufacturers accounts for the different system names. The difference is that the earlier Litronic headlights used a xenon bulb for the low beams and a halogen bulb (combined with the Litronic bulb beam) for high beams. Bi-Xenon headlights use xenon bulbs for both low beam and high beam. Unfortunately the design (shape) of the headlight assembly changed for the Bi-Xenon headlights and they can not be fitted to older cars without changing the front fenders and front bumper. Probably more than you wanted to know... ;)
