  1. 955.573.111.04 Condenser -- US MSRP $376.85 Porsche calls it desiccator and in this case it is part of the condensor - one each per car. According to the diagram it is part of the part number I gave you. Item 1 is the whole condenser assembly and item 2 is the desiccator.
  2. Page 120 in your Owners Manual. If you do not have one you can download one here
  3. Please read the FAQ on how to read the serial number of your radio. Then, post that number in the Lost Radio Code thread and I will look up the best guesses.
  4. :welcome: Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  5. Please post this in the proper thread. Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST I will only answer radio code requests in the one thread linked at the end of the FAQ. This thread is now closed.
  6. Yes and no. Yes, it can be made to fit with some work. The exhaust openings in the bumper will not exactly line up with the MY99 exhaust. You might be able to adjust them so they will - just make sure they don't touch the "plastic" bumper cover.
  7. Hi Richard, would you by chance know where the relais are located; i.e. the one for the starter? Tx, Oliver Relays are near the fuse box (to the left of the driver feet (LHD cars) and behind the rear seats under the carpet next to the DME.
  8. It is covered in the DIY Tutorial - Manual Transmission Oil Change Instructions
  9. Also, the silver car is not a factory aerokit. Someone added it. The interior color on the black car is Boxster Red (not burgundy). Always get a PPI done before you buy.
  10. 996.107.150.06 Oil tube -- US MSRP $29.47 I also suggest a new o-ring seal (item 16): 999.707.348.40 O-ring 42 x4 -- US MSRP $4.15 Use a small amount of silicone grease when installing the o-ring.
  11. This is the "up" bleed position.
  12. Which item numbers please...
  13. Removing and Replacing the Starter
  14. The tow hook screws into the bumper reinforcement (not the chassis). So chances are it will bend or the bumper reinforcement will bend and tear the bumper cover off with it.
  15. The tow hook is for towing (pulling) and for tie downs - not lifting. Most (but I am sure not all) tow truck drivers know this - certainly after destroying a car or two.
  16. Removal 1. Disconnect the battery and cover the terminal or battery. Remove the complete air cleaner assembly. 2. Disconnect the line from the tank venting valve and the electrical plug connection. Disconnect the electrical plug connections at the idle speed positioner and throttle potentiometer. 3. Disengage accelerator cable and remove throttle body. Pull off vacuum check valve. 4. Disconnect the vent line for the oil separator at the intake distributor. Undo all hose clamps (4 ea.) at the intake distributor and push the rubber sleeves to the side. Pull out intake distributor to the rear. 5. Pullback protective cap on the starter cable and undo cable terminal 30 (M8)and terminal 50 (M6)at the starter. 6. Undo the upper fastening screw. To do this, use the following 3/8 inch tool: 3 long extensions, cross handle, universal joint and hexagon socket wrench insert a/f 15. The joints can be secured using adhesive tape. 7. Undo the lower fastening screw from the right generator mounting side. 8. Carefully remove the starter from the engine compartment to the rear. Installation Tightening torques: Terminal 30 -- Nut M8 15 Nm (11 ftlb.) Terminal 50 -- Nut M6 6.5 Nm (5 ftlb.) Hexagon-head bolt -- M10 45 Nm (33 ftlb.) 1. The angled cable lug of terminal 50 (M6) faces in driving direction (transmission) after assembly. 2. Carefully center the intake distributor. Push both rubber sleeves onto the intake distributor up to the marking (line) and secure (2 hose clamps). (Arrow shows marking (line) on the intake distributor) 3. Check bore in the rubber sleeves for check valve and vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator for clear passage. 4. Engage accelerator cable and install throttle body. Fit fastening screw M6 x 20 at the bottom right. 5. Tighten the outer hose clamps of the rubber sleeve after securing the throttle body on the hydraulic pump housing. The throttle body must not contact the hydraulic pump housing. 6. The intake system must be checked for leaks after assembly (visual inspection).
  17. Removing and Replacing the Starter Removal 1. Disconnect the battery and cover the terminal or battery. Remove the complete air cleaner assembly. 2. Disconnect the line from the tank venting valve and the electrical plug connection. Disconnect the electrical plug connections at the idle speed positioner and throttle potentiometer. 3.

  18. Are you sure the problem is the starter and not a bad battery, ignition switch or bad ground?
  19. Just use the clip to fix it open - there is a membrane so there should be no leakage. It is either open or closed.

    Gear knob remove

    And how do you think I knew to say that... :rolleyes:
  21. Loren

    Gear knob remove

    If there is a no screw then you have a "pull-off" knob. Twist and pull at the same time and be careful not hit the roof (or your face) when it comes off.
  22. 1. IMHO either will work fine. Both are on the Porsche "approved" list. 2. I don't use jack stands to change the oil. I just drive up on 3 2x10 boards to get the little extra room I need to get the drain pan underneath and the filter out. Takes about 5 minutes (less drain time). 3. A leaking RMS and/or IMS seal will weep oil from the point where the transmission joins to the engine. Lots of pics here if you search but if there is oil dripping from the joining point then you likely have one of those two seals (or both) leaking.
  23. It is the same Wurth Silver Wheel paint and Wurth Clear used to touchup wheels.
