    Nick is correct. Interesting that GT3RS shift knob (with deviating stitching) has an MSRP $50 less. Go figure...
  2. Loren
    If you use CRC the red can is chlorinated and the green can is non-chlorinated.
  3. Loren
    Try 4216 or 4214
  4. Loren
    That number is for the retaining frame for a Tiptronic shifter. I will need to know your interior color to get you the correct part number (matching leather).

    P0420 TWC Conversion, Bank 1 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Catalytic converter P1275 Signal Delay Time for Oxygen Sensor Aging, Bank 1 – Above/Below Limit – Oxygen sensor ahead of TWC – Leak ahead of TWC or in the area of the oxygen sensor after TWC – Wiring (oxygen sensors exchanged) The only tricks to changing the O2 sensors are having the right tool (slotted 19 mm socket) and NOT using any sort of penetrating oil etc. anywhere near the sensors.

    Start by checking for loose swaybar mounts. If those are tight then look at the upper strut mounts - look for signs that they are moving in their slotted holes.

    Loren, Thank you! I disassembled my mirror last night and it does appear that I need to replace part #5 on the diagram only. the part number listed in my mirror was 996-731-219-04 and that is listed on the sheet you attached. There are a lot of other #5 part numbers listed, do I need to order all of them or just the one. The car is a 2004 BoxS without the auto dimming mirrors. You need to check your options list and see if you have option 266 (self-dimming) or option 537 (seat memory). Then order by year and options. Jeff Clark at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can help make sure you get the right part (and at a discount).

    A C4S already has larger radiators (and ducting) than a narrow body car. I think if you want to do this on a widebody car you might do better with the Turbo radiator and hoses.

    P0301 Misfiring, Cylinder 1 Check for a bad coil pack. poor electrical connection or even a bad spark plug. On a Boxster cylinder 1 is right side - cylinder closest to the front of the car (on that side).
  13. Loren
    Sounds like a small vacuum cleaner - will only run for 2 minutes or so.

    Thanks again. I had a 80,000 km done when I bought the car in March. Where is the air pump located? Does it run at startup? If not, start by checking the fuse. It is a 40A fuse on relay support 2 - which is next to the DME. Sorry, I don't have a picture of the pump location. It is in the left rear under the intercooler upper hose. Perhaps someone with a TT can take a photo.

    You can't use your headlights with a TT/GT2 bumper or a MY02 or later GT3 bumper - without changing the front fenders also. The profile changed. You would also need some wiring changes for the new style headlights. Conversely an aerokit cup or RoW GT3 front bumper will be a bolt-on solution.
  18. Loren
    The air pump runs usually only at startup - for emissions reasons. It may or may not cause a CEL because the pump only runs for a short time. Here is the US it would cause you to fail an emissions test. If you have recently had work done on the car check to see if they accidentally forgot to plug the air pump back in.

    996TT, 09/2001 (MY02?) P0491 Secondary Air Injection System, Bank 1 - Insufficient Flow P0492 Secondary Air Injection System, Bank 2 - Insufficient Flow Possible cause of fault - Electrical fault in power supply or line between relay and secondary air injection pump - Secondary air injection pump relay mechanically faulty - Mechanical fault in electrical secondary air valve - Pneumatic secondary air valve faulty/sluggish - Electrical fault in secondary air injection pump - Mechanical fault in secondary air injection pump or secondary air injection pump blocked - Vacuum system leaking - Air hose to secondary air injection pump slipped off or constricted

    The clutch is hydraulic on both cars and is not adjustable. If you are having problems you should check for leaks and have the system bled.

    It will come in monthly mailing from Porsche (some dealers get these via Porsche's network nightly). We pay for a subscription so they come Fed Ex once a month. Sometimes Porsche does not deliver on time (surprise - surprise - surprise) and I get 3 months worth of TSBs/Workshop Campaigns at one time. I usually get them posted for our Contributing Members within 24 hours of the time I get them. Unfortunately I have no control over Porsche's delivery.
  23. Loren
    You can make any of those items fit - for some (facelift parts) the cost will be much higher. It is purely aesthetics (at street speeds) so do what you like.
  24. Loren
    Model and year of your car please?
  25. Loren
    Todd Holyoak is the expert on these swaps but I think it would be helpful to know: - which fuel intake did you use - did you go from egas (Boxster engine) to egas (Carrera engine) The only adjustment I know is to program the DME as either a Boxster or Carrera program.
