    Is the leak ATF or oil?

    Have a look at TSB 9/99 2015 Carrera 4 – Running Out of Fuel -- dated 10-14-99 "To summarize, if the battery is disconnected with the fuel level less than 1/4 tank, the fuel level and driving range on remaining fuel values will be incorrect. When the battery is reconnected, the fuel calculation will default to 19 liters, when in fact, the fuel level is most likely less than 19 liters. This can result in the vehicle running out of fuel, with a seemingly good fuel level indication."

    Hi Loren, If I'm reading this right, a basic 1999 C2 will not have this problem, if the battery is disconnected; or should I make sure the tank is full anytime I disconnect the battery? thanks, Correct it is only 4WD cars where Porsche used the "saddle bag" gas tank. Those would include C4, C4S, and TT.

    Fault 21 is: Firing circuit, driver fault. You will need to find a shop with the proper test equipment to safety diagnose whether it is the airbag (in the steering wheel) or the triggering unit.

    You are correct the warning did not make it in the MY99 Owners Manual - I think it was added in MY01. This is not a DIY unless you own a PST2 or PIWIS. You have to empty the gas tank. Refill it with an exact amount of fuel. Then the PST2 (or PIWIS) recalibrates the sensor and puts the calibration number in your instrument cluster.

    MY2002 Turbo with Tiptronic. I suggest you find a good Porsche shop that can confirm where the leak is coming from before spending nay money. Have you contacted in transmission rebuilding shops in your area? They might have parts. The transmission will need to come out for the fix and be partially disassembled - it might end up less expensive to but a Porsche rebuilt transmission.

    I don't know what 'MY' means but I think it has something to do with the build of the car?! I have a 01' Boxster S,6-spd. All OEM suspension wise and I'm looking to install H & R springs. Loren, Should I order the ball joint separator featured here and pick up a spring compressor for the event? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;#entry56444 Thanks, Robert Robert, MY is Model Year. I don't know that we can do a suspension change at a work on cars days. They can take 4-5 hours and I don't think it would be fair to other folks there to monopolize the lift for that long.

    1. Yes. 2. Brown is almost always ground in Porsches. 3. I used crimp connectors and then heat shrink tubing, then black electrical tape and tie-wraps to keep them where I wanted them. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st&p=101451

    Techron should work fine. I use it about every 3000 miles.
  10. Loren
    Yes. For a 968 it was the same as it is today - look for option code M030.
  11. Loren
    Check for a loose rear swaybar.

    Ok, I was just teasing. ;) Don't be afraid of this it not very hard to do.
  15. Loren
    Anyone has a pic of where these infamous rivets are located? Thanks, Gus Did you read the DIY instructions? They are on the wheel well liners.
  16. Loren
    Model and model year of your car?
  17. Loren
    Sorry but some of your information is not correct. Since the 987 and 997 have different redlines how could they have the same starting ranges. They are not the same for all models. What RFM stated above (for the 987) is correct. ANd , what I stated above is correct for 997. Fuel cutoff can not help you if you miss a downshift and force the motor to run too fast. The rev limiter protects the motor for normal over revs but can not prevent damage from missed downshifts or other mechanical overruns (like spinning the car and running the engine backwards).
  18. Loren
    I posted ranges for a 997: The 6 ranges are: Range 1: 7300-7500 RPM Range 2: 7500-7700 RPM Range 3: 7700-7900 RPM Range 4: 7900-8400 RPM Range 5: 8400-9500 RPM Range 6: 9500-11000 RPM You really don't need to worry about anything other than ranges 4 to 6. So the only one that is different is range 1 (by 100 RPM).
  19. Loren
    1. Left front - behind the mud splash guard. 2. Similar to the 996 the back switch is on the top right side of the transmission (more towards the center) 3. I assume no visible leaks. Checked the gas cap? I would try to see if the smell is stronger towards the front (carbon tank) or the back (expansion tank).
  20. Loren
    topmech0 is correct. If you disconnect the battery on a C4, C4S or TT with under 1/4 tank - you will need to get the tank re-calibrated using a PST2 or PIWIS. Those cars use a "saddle bag" gas tank and the sensor is only on one side. So one side of the tank is "estimated" on the fuel gauge - based on the a specific amount of fuel in the tank at calibration time. If you lose that calibration setting by disconnecting the battery (with a low tank) the tank/cluster has no guess as to remaining fuel and MUST be re-calibrated. As I recall there is a warning about this in the Owners Manual.

    Yes, there is a filter there also - but again there is no call to replace it unless there is contamination or damage.
  23. Loren
    Try 6766 or 6764
  24. Loren
    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=24349 Centering left to right is the same. The only difference on the Mk1 aerokit rear wing is that the the logo is placed 50 mm from the bottom edge of the lid.
  25. Loren
    Try 1489 or 1487
