    Could be a rock or pebble caught in the splash shield. That is fairly common.
  2. Loren
    I guess you mean like this? I'll send you details via email. Be very careful not to break the plastic hinge pins on the mirror cover.

    The muffler pipe does not go into the cat pipe they are joined by the cat sleeve (4). Your kit should have had new sleeves. If not then you will need to loosen the sleeve bolts and spread the sleeves (not the pipes).

    1. Carefully pry the clothes hanger up and off the top of the B pillar. 2. Pull inwards until that C pillar piece comes off. You may have to replace the sheetmetal clips if they get bent or break.

    Did you try this? The little speaker in the display should then have a slash through it.

    To my understanding the thermostat has not changed since introduction (including the 3.6 liter update).
  7. Loren
    The number I gave above is for the pre MY02 (3.4 liter) cars so it should fit fine.

    In MY99 a C2 could have nothing or Traction Control. All MY99 C4s had PSM (and egas).

    Might I ask what you are planning to lube? Do you have a problem with squeaking or ? Pad replacement is covered in 'Loren's DIY pages" link at the top of each page.

    Have a look at ninerguru's DIY with pics here 996 106 147 56 is the tank that is shown for cars prior to MY01. Double check with a dealer as they have changed these 3 or 4 times and my parts list is Nov 2003. The cap is: 996 106 447 01

    An RMS leak is dead center under the car right between the engine and transmission. Sounds like a valve cover to me if it is near a wheel. Either way a good dealer will check and fix any and all leaks when you take it in.

    Well, the hinge kit would have everything you need and could be better (stronger) than the newer factory pieces. The hinge kit includes: hinge plate, two U-brackets, two 4mm pop rivets. All pieces are metal. Depending on the new console you got it may or may not work with the factory parts (which use self-tapping screws). Here are the factory parts (you may not need all of these): 996 552 691 00 retaining belt with retaining pin (console side) 996 552 507 00 hinge MY02- 999 073 228 09 self tapping screws 4.8 x 13 (2 needed) 996 552 795 01 spring 996 552 605 00 hinge pin (cover side)

    Here is excellent perspective (IMHO)...

    You've got mail...

    Have a look at this thread

    The filter is inside a cannister. A strap wrench will likely work for removal. You will want to be extra careful putting the filter back on. It is made of plastic and it can be broken. That is why most folks buy the removal wrench and then put it back on using a torque wrench.

    I use the ph cleaner followed by the leather conditioner on my Boxster Red interior and it works great. 2-3 times per year. I used this on my previous Porsches also with good results. IMHO if you want your leather to last you need to treat it like your own skin. Avoid to much sun, moisture and rough treatment and it will last a long time. :D
  19. Loren
    Good - glad it was nothing. Wonder how it got overfilled?
  20. Loren
    Have a look at the thread here The fan is not a concern the leak near the cap is. The cap AND the tank should both be pressure tested by your dealer. If either or both fail the pressure test then they need to be replaced. A fairly common problem on the earlier 996's.
  21. Loren
    If your car is new then all updates should have been done at the factory during production. If a TSB came out while the car was in transit then the dealer should perform the work before the car is delivered. Congratulations! :clapping:

    Tony, The parts don't show up in the current price list - which likely means you can't get them any more or they must be special ordered. I'll look through my old price lists and see if I can find the numbers so you can have a dealer see if there are some in stock anywhere. Option 2 is to remove them and paint them. A couple folks have said that is not too hard to do. Option 3 would be to find a Carrera (or Boxster if you don't mind black ones) at a parts yard. Found these is the RoW price list. Maybe someone can get these from Europe still? For LHD cars: 996 551 511 07 V01 Handle (silver) (front release) 996 551 512 07 V01 Handle (silver) (rear release) or contact Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) above as they may have more information...

    My understanding is that once a fault code has occurred the light will stay on until it has been cleared with a PST2 or scan tool. This is true even if fault corrected itself during the next ignition (on). Some faults could cause the airbag not to deploy but in most cases it still should.

    Thanks Loren

    Loren replied to skl's topic in 996 GT3

    You are welcome... but also a thank you to the first folks that helped test the procedure. I don't have all of these cars you know... right now I'm down to just one Porsche :lol:

    1. Using the tip of a screwdriver, carefully lever out the right-hand corner segment of the lens glass. Remove the corner segment from the lock. 2. Turn lock of additional brake light counter-clockwise by approx. 90 degrees and remove. 3. Disconnect electrical plug connection and disengage all fastening tabs of the bulb holder.
