    If your car was built before March 25th, 2004, as of the following VINs: 99 84S 62 2452 USA then they can do the TSB and be reimbursed by Porsche. Perhaps you should suggest they read TSB 7/04 9662 Insufficient Range of Remote Control (dated 8-13-04)

    Congrats! :thumbup: Follow the manual and you will never be denied any warranty claim.

    Start by checking the fuses. Once the air bag light is only a dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester can turn it off.

    I got mine from Wiha Quality Tools for about $8 plus shipping. http://www.wihatools.com/773serie.htm

    Well, if you don't want to pay the dealer then I would use the Mobil 1 75W-90 synthetic gear oil. Dealer prices: 000 043 204 20 Mobil PTX - 20 liters (retail $550.32) 999 917 546 00 Shell Transaxle - 1 liter (retail $29.57) Mobil 1 75W-90 synthetic gear oil street prices: 3 quarts - $25

    Yes, these decals fit Boxster, Carrera, Turbo, GT2 and GT3. I think the photo was on a Boxster (all the other cars have cross-drilled rotors).

    ..or here at the Decal/Racing Number store.
  9. Loren
    Same.
  10. Loren
    Yes, gear oil for manual transmissions and rear differential. ATF for the front wheel drive.

    We have added the procedure for changing the (ATF) oil in the front wheel drive of C4 and C4S. You can find it here.
  13. Loren
    For street driving and occasional track use I would stay with the Mobil PTX. You won't need 12 quarts you will only need slightly under 3 liters. You will also want to change the gear oil in the front wheel drive on your car (4 liters of ATF). I will try to get a DIY online here in the next couple of days - it's not too hard.

    Header to engine: 19 ftlbs. (25 Nm) Header to cat: 22 ftlbs. (30 Nm) Tailpipe clamp: 27 ftlbs. (23 Nm)

    Well, the codes give say the sensor 1 is bad (sensor 1 - cylinders 1 to 3) for sure. Will it cure the other fault on the other side? You won't know until you replace the bad sensor and clear the codes. If they come back then you need to find out where the next problem lies. Like most compound problems the only way to fix them is to separate the variables and fix the problems one at a time.

    TSB 9/97 6128 Modifications and Adjustments to Soft Top (dated 10-16-97)
  17. Loren
    Pretty much points to the cat being bad. The OBD II manual says reset the fault, if it continues then replace the cat.

    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold Fault condition: Fuel/air mixture is so lean that sensing has reached its rich threshold. Translation: Oxygen sensing at rich threshold is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation also check exhaust system for leaks. Fault area: - Intake air system leaking. - Fuel pressure too low. - Volume supply of fuel pump too low. - Fuel injectors fouled. Start by checking for air or exhaust leaks - including the gas cap, oil filler cap, all hoses etc., etc.
  19. Loren
    Replace the O2 sensor (after cat) passenger side. Look for any other obvious air leaks - perhaps the mechanic forgot to plug in a hose or two. Reset the codes and hope that is the last of them.

    C00 - Eurospec emissions 226 - ?? country version? What country are you in? 440 - antenna divesity 670 - PCM2 navigation 490 - Harman sound system (analog) 665 - PCM basic module with radio 666 - PCM2 telephone (GSM) 668 - PCM2 telephone handset
  21. Loren
    Yes (as Tool Pants said), they are different. The CDC-3 uses: 993 645 130 00 and the CDC-4 uses: 996 645 113 00
  22. Loren
    In most cases there is a poor connection in one of the seat belt buckles. Porsche issued a TSB on this several years ago. If you car has not had the TSB done then it likely should. Only a dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester can turn off an air bag light (and read the fault code that turned it on).
  23. Loren
    Yes, even though the GT3 engine is a different design than the Carrera the spark plug change process and torques are all the same.

    996 505 986 91 is the Cup Car front spoiler lip. LVDell put one on his car. As I recall he had to drill some new mounting holes. Have a look here.

    996 343 792 16 Stabiliser mounting (2 required)
