    it is going to be very similar to the RoW M030 install - except you won't be disassembling the spring/struts. Your's should be a little easier - just like replacing shocks. Don't forget to get a full alignment ASAP after the install.
  2. Loren
    Try unplugging it before you start the car and see if the noise is not there. Don't forget to plug it back in or you will get a CEL.
  3. Loren
    If you have an -01 cap and you still suspect a leak get the cap tested or replace it. A cap leak is usually small - and a cracked tank is usually quite large. Sometime a crack in the tank is impossible to see until it is removed.

    Can youplease tel me wher the Alarmcontact spot is? Thank you What is the model number on your radio?
  5. Loren
    Hmm... don't know what to tell you - maybe I have longer arms ;)
  6. Loren
    I agree with RFM - looks like he/she turned PSM off.
  7. Loren
    Did you remove the left rear wheel? It will be easier to reach if you do.
  8. Loren
    The sensors could be contaminated if they got sprayed with oil or something else.
  9. Loren
    Try 1513 or 1511
  10. Loren
    Tools Pants can give the details - but yes.
  11. Loren
    that may be true, but I'd assume that most late model racecars are running the stronger turbo/GT2/GT3 dry sump block That is what the poster was asking about -- an X50 is a 996 TT with the upgraded engine.

    GT3 Mk1 wheels were: Front: 18 x 8 ET 52 Rear: 18 x 10 ET 65 GT3 Mk2 wheels were: Front: 18 x 8.5 ET 40 Rear: 18 x 11 ET 63 So I am not sure what you have. You will need spacers either way.
  13. Loren
    Sorry, I don't think measurements will tell you what springs you have - would only be a guess.
  14. Loren
    Boxster muffler mounts vary by year model somewhat. perhaps it would help if you said what year/engine.
  15. Loren
    Well, the previous owner could have always hav changed springs to an after market. I can't think of a way to tell unless you look at each spring and see if it has Porsche's color codes or some other manufacturers part number.
  16. Loren
    Which wire goes to positive voltage and which wire goes to ground. Since they are LEDs - once side has to be to ground. Conventional bulbs don't matter.
  17. Loren
    Start by looking are your cars option codes list (under the front hood). Look for M030.
  18. Loren
    The code calls out bank 2 only. As kbull88 said above check you Maintenance book for your car - as to emissions warranty.
  19. Loren
    I think that top cap should come off because the accumulator just screws on like an oil filter does.
  20. Loren
    In most cases O2 sensor "diagnose" a problem not cause a problem. P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit If you erase this code and it continues to come back - then you have a bad catalytic converter.

    Hi there, Apart from whether this method described here is ideal or not, I have another problem with it. It generates unnecessary waste. Whether as a 50/50 antifreeze (mostly ethylene glycol = toxic, see :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol#Toxicity) or as a watered down version, you still cannot flush it through your toilet, and it will need to get disposed of properly no matter what. Let's do the math: - Assuming you are able to evacuate the entire cooling system by removing under panels, hoses etc. you will end up with approx. 6 gal. of waste. - In the procedure above I count a total of 6 times removing 2 gal. = 12 gal of waste (albeit more diluted). I just ordered the UView Airlift II for $72 delivered from Amazon.com and will give it a try this weekend. Loren: Having mixed orginal Porsche coolant with Prestone premix (ooh ignorant me), would it make sense to use a product like Prestone Super Radiator Cleaner, high in chelating agents, before refilling with Dex-cool? Joost I would just flush and drain with water a couple of times. Vacuum fill is still the best method.
  22. Loren
    Or find someone with Durametric software.
  23. Loren
    Use the Mobil 1 synthetic 75W-90 or the Shell. The Shell is easier to find for some folks.
  24. Loren
    Are you sure you have the polarity correct?
  25. Loren
    Try 9591 0r 9589
