    For about $125 I got piece of mind (and the ability to turn off my own CEL light). The software (and cable) will also give you the fault code so you know what caused it. Nothing fancy (or expensive it just works). Not trying to sell the stuff... just a happy customer. www.obd-2.com

    My understanding for standard and sport suspensions is: Standard: Front 146# Rear 203# Sport: Front 170# Rear 260#
  3. Loren
    The number I gave you is the part number from the Porsche Tequipment Catalog (and also the part number a dealer would use to order it). It includes the muffler and electronics but does not include the dash switch. The dash switch (if you want it) is sold separately).
  4. Loren
    If you are talking about the Carrera it is the same as the US version: 000 044 200 19
  5. Loren
    996 631 164 10 has been replaced with 996 631 164 11 and only shows on the RoW parts list (not a US part). It is a (left hand traffic) left front headlight. It can also be used with the Europe only headlight aim control.
  6. Loren
    Well, the primary difference is US/Canada cars come with US ride height while RoW cars come with the slightly lower ride height. Lower (or slightly shorter springs also means a little stiffer. Here are the specs for US and RoW C4S (with 18" wheels): US/Canadian C4S axle height" Front: 158 mm (+ or - 10 mm) Rear: 163 mm (+ or - 10 mm) RoW C4S axle height: Front: 138 mm (+ or - 10 mm) Rear: 153 mm (+ or - 10 mm) So the difference is RoW is 20 mm lower in front and 10 mm lower in the rear (same as Carrera's) Actually, it looks like they just changed the part number for both. 996 333 051 24 has been replaced by 996 333 051 28 for both model years. I have corrected the table above also.

    I think Mike wants a set of these... ;)

    MY02-03 TT - 6 speed -- RoW M030 (sport suspension) Front Springs: 996 343 533 18 Front Shocks: 996 343 043 17 Front Sway Bar: no change Rear Springs: 996 333 531 44 (from 992S6 82161 on) Rear Shocks: 996 333 051 17 Rear Sway Bar: no change
  9. Loren
    Paul, I corrected it above. My mistake. The rear spring is different from MY01 to MY02. It is now correct above.
  10. Loren
    Just an FYI... all C4S and TT come with either US or RoW Sport suspension. MY02 C4S - 6 speed -- RoW M030 (sport suspension) Front Springs: 996 343 533 30 Front Shocks: 996 343 043 26 Front Sway Bar: no change Rear Springs: 996 333 531 48 Rear Shocks: 996 333 051 28 Rear Sway Bar: no change MY03 C4S - 6 speed -- RoW M030 (sport suspension) Front Springs: 996 343 533 30 Front Shocks: 996 343 043 26 Front Sway Bar: no change Rear Springs: 996 333 531 48 Rear Shocks: 996 333 051 28 Rear Sway Bar: no change MY01 TT - 6 speed -- RoW M030 (sport suspension) Front Springs: 996 343 533 18 Front Shocks: 996 343 043 17 Front Sway Bar: no change Rear Springs: 996 333 531 19 Rear Shocks: 996 333 051 17 Rear Sway Bar: no change

    I don't think so. The seat cushions are just a shell on the frames. I don't think they are that hard to take off -- except that you have to break some of the plastic clips and replace them when you re-install.
  12. Loren
    I can't see your picture (some hobbystage issue). I sent you another email with info...
  13. Loren
    You've got mail....

    I doubt even really bad plugs would cause this. I think the car would run really bad first. I use Techron about every 4,000 miles... cheap insurance. The fuel filter is at the front end of the center tunnel of the car. It's under a belly cover... If you get the car up on the lift, or on jack stands, follow the fuel lines out of the tank, it's the first stop the main supply line makes. The correct fuel filter for a MY99 C2 is: 996 110 253 01 I get my Porsche P-codes from my subscription to AllDataDIY.com AND my Porsche OBD II Manual.
  15. Loren
    Hmmm... my code list says: P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold P1125 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Lean Threshold This would mean that the fuel/air mixture is so rich that sensing is up to it's lean threshold. My list of probable causes are: fuel pressure too high; fuels injector(s) leaking; EVAP canister purge valve open. Could be the charcoal canister (which should be covered under emissions warranty) or fuel pressure too high because of dirt stuck in one of the valves or a bad fuel pressure regulator vacuum connection. In the end all of these may be covered by your emissions warranty (unless it was caused by a dirty fuel filter/fuel).
  16. Loren
    Do you mean the whole seat from the car or the seat bottom cushion from its mounting (like for upholstery work)?
  17. Loren
    I agree with Tool Pants, Custom Alignment really knows Porsches. They are your best bet in the bay area. There is a vendor review here
  18. Loren
    Paul, There is not a "kit" you will need individual part numbers for shocks, springs, and sway bars. In all cases we will also need to know: MY, coupe or cab and 6 speed or Tip. Yes, there are that many variations. Also, if someone already has US M030 they will not need sway bars as they are the same.
  19. Loren
    Follow my PSE install instructions here. The only difference is that you will likely have to move the muffler bracket to the new mufflers (add 15 minutes each).
  20. Loren
    raffi, It could be another oil leak. There are TSBs for the early cars that include leaking valve covers, intermediate shaft seal, pulley seal, and oil return tubes on very early (1998 build) cars. A good dealer should be able to fix all of these at the same time and even cover some under warranty TSB work.
  21. Loren
    These are part of the hardtop install to prevent scratching. Look at picture 2 under the second arrow... p.s. I split this topic out as a separate subject from the RMS thread...
  22. Loren
    Here is the alignment for pre MY04 (old) GT3. M002 is street and M003 is Club Sport -- Club Sport can be setup 10 mm lower in front.
  23. Loren
    Don, Is this what you and I were talking about a few months ago (996 563 421 01)?
  24. Loren
    Here is my 0.02 cents worth (yes, that's less than 2 cents)... I don't think a dealer would go through a shopping list TSB's. Let's face it, dealers are in business to make money. So lets think of their logical thought pattern: Will PCNA (or PAG) reimburse them the parts and labor cost? Yes, no problem they fix it for free. No, they tell you what it will cost. Next step is you complain to the dealer who says "we can't do anything about it" (obviously they do not want to pay for it). So, you decide you need to complain to the regional PCNA (or PAG) rep. I think this is where having a TSB for the "known" problem and a history of your cars problem and a civil temper -- may get you somewhere. PCNA (or PAG) do not want unhappy customers so at this point it becomes "is this a reasonable request" -- yes, or no. I know of a number of people that have taken this approach and got their problem solved. So, I think you can go a further with 1. a single problem; 2. pertinent facts (your car history) and; 3. knowledge supported facts (TSB) -- rather than threatening a class action law suit. So ask yourself what is a reasonable mileage (or engine hours) that you must have before you are willing to pay for a repair such as RMS replacement. If and when Porsche decides to stop replacing RMS (and engines) then perhaps other action is needed. End of :soapbox:

    I don't think so. The hardest part will be moving/maneuvering the cables to the new location.
