Brqad has all the info in the preceding post.

Sorry, can you get a picture tomorrow? I still am not sure what part you are taking about.

Please point me to the item number - nowhere in the parts list is there anything called a "boomerang bracket".

My understanding is that any dealer can see work done by other Porsche dealers but they won't share it - because they are afraid of liability and privacy lawsuits.

Do a search here for "drains" and make sure they are all clear. You do not want water on the drivers side under the seat - that is where the alarm/immobilizer is and that would be ral trouble.

I just searched for audi +mirrors

Please give our search a try... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st&p=112722

Please state your location. Extended warranties vary from country to country and in the US state to state.

Not necessarily - 996TT has a much different clutch system than a 996 or 997. He should check his accumulator. The accumulator test can be found here in the 996TT section.

The valves moved (to what I call closed) when a vacuum is applied - this routes the exhaust through additional baffles to make it quiet. The default is (what I call open) - the valves do not have vacuum applied and the exhaust is loud. I have stated this several times before - sorry if I somehow made it unclear this time.

Thanks Loren, noticed there is not a parts list in members area or did I miss it? I think I found via a link to a website containing it. Downloadable Parts Lists for all Porsche models

"Generally" yes.

Yellow/Brown is front left minus (-) Yellow is front left plus (+)

Sorry, that is the newer style LED cluster - it only work on MY01 and newer 996's.

Here is how your car checks for a leak (P0455). "System Description In order to prevent fuel vapors from entering the atmosphere, an EVAP canister is connected to the tank ventilation line. Fuel vapors are collected in the EVAP canister. As the EVAP canister can only accommodate a certain amount of fuel vapors, the fuel vapors must be taken in and combusted during driving. For this to occur, the EVAP canister purge valve opens. Due to the vacuum predominating in the intake manifold, air is sucked up via the purge air line through the EVAP canister. The air sucked up in this way draws the collected fuel vapors with it. American law requires the tank ventilation system to be checked for leaks. For this purpose, the tank pressure sensor and shutoff valve are required." "Function of Tank Ventilation Diagnosis In order to check the system for leaks, vacuum is built up in the tank, the system sealed and a test performed to see how quickly the vacuum diminishes again. Pressure conditions are influenced by the vaporization of fuel. Therefore, prior to diagnosis the pressure increase due to fuel vaporization is examined. Tank ventilation diagnosis is divided into three steps: 1. Measuring the pressure increase due to fuel vaporization. The EVAP canister purge valve and shutoff valve are closed. The increase in pressure is measured by the tank pressure sensor. 2. Vacuum buildup in the system. The EVAP canister purge valve is opened and the shutoff valve remains closed. This causes vacuum to build up in the tank. If no vacuum builds up, a large leak is present, e.g. the tank cap is not screwed on. 3. Vacuum reduction in the system. At a particular vacuum (approx. 8 mbar), the tank vent valve is closed once more. The system is now sealed. Depending upon the speed at which vacuum is reduced, leaks in the system may be determined."

I have no sympathy whatsoever for dealers that sell ABOVE MSRP - which several do.

Yes they are the same. Manual transmission 993 to manual transmission 996. Tiptronic transmission 993 to Tiptronic transmission 996.

Try 8986 or 8984 If you have not already read this please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

Dealers/OPCs get discounts from Porsche based on the volume of business they do (number of parts they buy). That is why dealers like Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) and Suncoast can sell for less.

:welcome: Check the reverse light switch on the transmission. This has been covered here before - so please do a search.

This has been posted several times before... the 997 shifter throw will not be as short as the B&M shifter.

You are incorrect - they are not the same.

A vacuum from the engine opens the PSE valves. The PSE valves are normally open (loud). Dirt in the vacuum lines would not affect the engine.
