    Bill This is what the strut mount looks like when it goes out. It just went out again today and this is the third time. The independent shop I went to said it was factory but infact an aftermarket one made in Germany. I have a 996 targa and was told that pss10s would be ok to use factory strut mounts. the car is 25 inch f/r ride height. Is the set up wrong here where my front and rear mounts are going out less than 12-15k miles?? I do drive on lots of bumpy roads but I assume that it was souse to be able to handle them. Any suggestions anyone ?? Im going to look or new dealer

    Oil reading back to normal after 75 miles of driving....

    2011 Cayenne S, just received the yellow message display on dash saying oil minimum reached. Added 1 quart of oil drove for 10 miles the display still pops up everytime. The strange thing is It wont let me get an oil reading saying it needs more time or something. I then changed the oil with oil filter and added exact 9.51 quarts of mobil 1 and started the car drove for another 10 miles and the same yellow minimum oil level reached stills pops up. Called dealer and he said just to keep driving for another 40 miles and it will go away and it didn't. Dash oil level will still not even give a reading saying it cannot give a reading at this time. Is this something engine related? computer in dash? Car drives great and oil pressure is good. Car had less than 15K. Thanks all!

    Anyone with 996/997 Targa install sun blind in there cars successfully please help! I hope there is a way to do it without removing the sliding glass. Is there a way to drop down or loosen the plastic railing for sun blind in order to fit the plastic tabs into the aluminum holders?

    Targa sun shade will not open nor close. It also won't retract all the way. You can hear the motor running fine. When I push sun shade to close I can manually pull it out and it will try and close but then slings right back to open position. Any ideas?

    Looking to pull the front trunk liner out and cannot seem to disconnect the wire clip that is connected to the entrapment release handle . Its very small and I tried to squeeze and pull lightly but it will not budge. Do not want to break it. please post diagram or any input how to release will be great.

    I had recently installed PSS10 4 months ago and after 10K miles I had a clunking sound coming from both front and rears. The problem ended up being the strut mounts on all four corners. Now after another 15K miles on them it looks like the fronts have gone out again as going over speed bumpy roads the front suspension feels loose and bangs away with clunking. I know this because when I take a look at the front where suspension is mounted it is now popped up about 1-1/2inch above hole where mounting bolts are. Independent shop replaced the fronts last time with part number 997-343-01801 which I looked up at pelican parts to be an after market part. I told the shop I only wanted factory parts. Does anyone one think it could just be a cheap part that went out? It stinks because the left front has the same part number too. Can someone give me the correct part number for 2002 Targa. Or I was thinking do I need stronger strut mounts since I have PSS10 on or factory rubber ones gonna be ok this time. Car will be taken in tomorrow. Thanks ALL!

    Yes, but your fit will vary with tires - different manufacturers tires may be wide enough to interfere with the fender or strut (on the rears). No way to know unless you test fit or know someone with the same tire/wheel combination. Many tires are likely fine but you could find one brand or two that will cause issues. Thanks loren

    Hello kgoertz, so it should be fine and no mods?? Thanks!
  10. moosey
    Will Sport Techno wheels fit 02' targa Without any mods. I have pss10 on the car. Local dealer said I can't and have read that there will be no problems with the rears being 295/30 11x18 . Want rennteams advice. Thanks all

    2007 997 sunroof gasket keeps coming off, is there any glue Porsche uses to keep it on? or do I just need to replace it. I think the part number is 997.564.211.00

    I have X74 on 996 targa which had over 88,000 miles on all highway driving. Noticed today that right rear inner tire completely worn down to steel cord. Car drives perfect so Im guessing its time to change. How many miles do they normally last and does anyone know where i can purchase another X74 set because Carnewal has it out of production. Any suggestions on alternatives would be great.

    Thanks JFP, so the hard line that is going into the caliper when it is removed can i hold it tight with hand and rag because i was told to just screw it directly into the new caliper. In understand that the flex line connect to an upper section hard line but im talking about quickly removing the one end of hard line that is connected to caliper itself and screwing onto new caliper. Thanks for all input !
  15. moosey
    Thanks, i was told I would just need to remove the hard line only that goes into the caliper. Alsowas told by dealer tech that the abs pump would only need bleeding when replacing master cylinder. Do know what size wrench is used for the nut on hard line going into caliper? Thanks All , dealer tech said it 11mm

    Need to remove fron calipers on 997 C2, the hard brake line going into the caliper can someone tell me the size wrench needed as i do not want to strip the bolt incase its hard to get off. Thanks!

    thanks , will post pics next week. I tried removing the aluminum stud that is rusted into the upper piston and the the screw holding damper plate striped. SO i tried to drill the screw out hoping the stud would come out and that did not word. Used pb blaster,wd40 with no results. So im going to replace both front calipers. Do you have anu write ups on reomving the calipers or can forward a link? I could not find on site when searching. Thanks to all of you with advice and suggestion you guys are the best!

    2007 C2, went to change brakes and found that the dampers on both front calipers are completely rusted in. Tried using wd40 with no luck, it is the bigger and upper piston that is stuck. Looks like i have to replace both front brake calipers so i wanted to get confirmation on the procedure on how to do this. Do I just unscrew the line going directly into the caliper and plug in the new one? As for bleeding I have never done this and wanted to know if it can be done on a 2007 997 C2 without bring it to the dealer and which is the best bleeder system to buy for this and procedure. Thanks All!

    Wanted to share my experience with restoring headlights on my 996 that were cracking an yellowing Did hours of research and decided to go with The highly recommended by popular mechanics with the Sylvania headlight kit. My lights were so bad that I had nothing to lose so I followed the kits directions step by step And after 45 min per light the results are amazing!!! Here are a couple of before and after pictures. It suppose to last a very long time As hope that's true. Been driving for a week and still looks perfect.

    Pittmans acrylic lens deoxidizer? Has anyone used this on their cars? I have major oxidation thick yellow and I'm told this stuff will remove it fast. Just wanted to see it any Porsche owners have used it.

    Thanks I confirmed it is the AOS! Took off top pipe that goes to intake and covered both hole that it would normally go into with cloth and started motor and no noise! Put back on tube from AOS to intake and noise came right back. Thanks!
  24. moosey
    Looked at problem again so I decided to open oil cap when engine was running and it was very difficult to open and take off. No problem with engine off. Let motor run for 20 min to listen and now if I had to guess it is coming from the aos but can't be completely sure . I do get white smoke every now and then buy no idle problem and drivability as the car drives great. Could this be an AOS problem just with a different symptom ? Or do I have two problems . Don't really want to change if I can be sure. So if anyone out there has had this same or similar problem which was cured by replacing AOS please leave feedback. Thanks

    I have not tried to start the car without belt on as I did not know it was ok to do so, but the noise stays on when driving and at idle Removed belt today and started motor and sound went away, put belt back on and sound came back . The sound is coming from some where on top but can't pin point. Listen to all idlers and pulleys and none make noise or wobble. Suggestions on what to do next would be great if anyone out there has had this similar noise. Can it be a pulley even though none make noise or wobble? Car has 160k on it 5 speed.
