    Doh!! :oops: my bad... I only sent you the first page of the parts list. Corrected pages are on their way...
  2. Loren
    Toby, I have sent you an email with part numbers for the parts of both systems so that you can compare them and see what you need.
  3. Loren
    2. Ah... more like the fan motor then -- about two hours to get it out and replace it. 3. Have you bled the clutch (and brake fluid) lately? If you haven't changed the fluid this would be a good place to start. Air and water trapped in the hydraulic lines can cause very odd pedal sensations. You didn't say how many miles on the car but I would still start with the fluid and also the pedal assembly may need greasing (both known problems). If not either of those then it's likely time to suspect the clutch driven plate and throw out bearing.

    Porsche publishes a booklet every year with the detailed changes to each model. These are called Technical Information Books. For 2002 they offered this as a CD and then in 2003 they went back to paper books. These usually run from $10 to $30 each. I have not seen the MY04 book yet so you will likely have to rely on the technical press releases. Most notable (to me) for MY03 is: MOST bus system for radio, PCM2, etc. Most notable for MY04 (to me) are: the return of the LSD option, cab tops can now be raised or lowered while moving, and cabs come standard with a hardtop, and an optional thicker steering wheel.

    1. Sounds like a temp sensor is not working right (sometimes). Could be a loose connection or bad sensor. 2. Could be normal - a half held brake will make noise on almost any car. 3. What is "not normal"? Does it slip? Do you have to press the clutch to the floor? Does it engage too high? Can you be more specific?
  6. Loren
    1. You will need to be careful not to scratch the dash. 2. This graphic includes the vent which you do not need to remove.

    Kirby, There are at least 6 different part numbers depending on what you want. A plain (no switches) black one like in Don's pic, a 2 switch version, a 4 switch version, and various leather or CF trims. Tell me what you want and I'll post the part number.
  8. Loren
    It just snaps in and out. If you have switches then make sure you put them back on the same side.

    Have a look at this post Antifreeze

    If your cars cluster is non dot-matrix then you could go with any with any non-dot matrix 996 or 986 cluster. The newer dot-matrix cluster (to my knowledge) will not work in the older cars -- as I said the connectors are 32 pin vs. 26 pin on the older clusters and the newer cluster use the CAN bus that does not exist in the older cars.
  11. Loren
    The pinouts are all different as well as some of the onboard computers. Even if you could find the right pins I don't think it would work since your computers have different signals (functions).

    From what I can tell that is a TT/GT2 cluster for up to MY02. It was replaced (in the parts list) by 996 641 213 03 70C and then by 996 641 213 05 70C.
  13. Loren
    Yup, all MY99 C4's (not C2's) had egas as well as all cars through current. So only MY99 C2's (and European GT3 mk1's) did not have egas. Hehe... no egas for me :D
  14. Loren
    Interesting... I had heard earlier that they were plug and play. I'll keep checking...
  15. Loren
    TSB is Technical Support Bulletin. Porsche issues these for install procedures, problem fixes, and other general information. Currently there are about 190 TSBs for the Carrera model, about 200 for Boxsters, about 95 for TT/GT2, about 6 for the new GT3, and about 36 for Cayenne.

    000 044 200 19 Sport Exhaust Kit --------------------------------------- 996 613 987 10 A05 Black mat switch (for left side of dash) 996 613 988 10 A05 Black mat switch (for right side of dash) 996 612 978 00 Wiring harness for switch (to convert older non-manual PSE systems)

    If you want the low beams to rotate up with the high beams (normal operation for Litronics) then you will need to install the Litronic headlight kit (000 044 900 41) and the wiring harness (PNA 721 040 06). To install the wiring harness you will need to have a pin removal tool or splice into existing wires. It took me about 1 hour. I have the TSB if you need it (it is overkill -- IMHO).

    I recall a conversation I had with Gert and I think the 02 and newer upgrade lights have everything you need. It's just plug and play. Of course self-leveling is still only available from the factory.
  19. Loren
    Buy the kit from a Gert or a dealer. Jeff and or I will help you install them (and then we will know and document the details.).
  20. Loren
    That part is shown on both US and RoW parts lists so it should be available everywhere. Any dealer can order parts from Europe - delivery can take 3 days to 6 weeks.

    I've heard of a number of broken welds in mufflers but not the cats. Not to say the cats can't have a broken weld too...
  22. Loren
    Ok... A DIY is now posted in the Carrera DIY section (same process for Boxsters)
  23. Loren
    You need two pieces. Item 10 -- Retaining frame (955 701 105 00) with four screws (item 11) 907 981 01 (M6 x 20). and then you need item 23 Support (955 701 105 00).
  24. Loren
    Its not too hard... maybe 30 minutes with the right tools.
