    You are right, engines where the coils are mounted strait up and two camshaft sensors on the right side have no longer plastic tubes.

    Looks like the fabric stop and the spring is removed to open the lid completely. Is the lid hold by Velcro on the back to stay open while driving?

    Oil Leak Update

    RFM replied to GatorGT3's topic in 996 GT3

    Do you have a pic.?
  4. RFM
    In normal circumstances this message is shown when the car is stand stil, the selector in each possition except P and ignition OFF. Since the ignition switch is no longer a ordinary switch but one or more control boxes it is advisable to visit the dealer. Take a look if all the systems are working correctly, get in the car-push the key in the switch-you can hear the steering wheel lock/unlock, switch on the ignition and push the brake pedal with the selector in P possition-you can hear the selector lock/unlock-take the N or R possition and switch off the ignition, the message is now shown in the display and it is NOT possible to pull out the key. I don't no if the previous owner have done modifications.

    I give it a try with 4 wheels coming from the same type of car with approved N coded tyres if i was you, simple, cheap and efficient solution.
  6. RFM
    I dont no what the charge is in the US, it takes approx. 1 hour to check/tip up the level and a test drive done by a mechanic. After the run they can tell you the result of there findings, in cases like this it is to difficult to give a solution without seeing and driving the car.

    There is one inspection/filling hole in the aluminium housing of the Z.F. differential, you can open it with an alan key, you have to fill till the oil comes out this is the filling level. If it is too difficult go to the dealer or independent.

    In general lifters dont chirping, it's rather ticking.
  9. RFM
    The smell of transmission oil in combination with this kind of noise makes me nervous, if i was you i would take a look A.S.A.P.
  10. RFM
    If the noise is still there go to the dealer, there are more possibilities for this sort of noises, release bearing etc. Success.
  11. RFM
    Check the differential oil level on the tiptronic, can be a small leak on the seal of the transmission axle left or right. I hope it's not to late.
  12. RFM
    In the beginning yes, you can do the following steps: top up the steering fluid level to be sure do a test drive til the noise is there remove the air box and the belt let the engine running without the belt for MAX. 1 MINUTE ( the engine can overheat ) if the noise is gone check by hand which roller or pulley is the cause if the noise is still there go to the dealer COUTION: the engine runs without air box/MAF sensor a engine check will occur, clear the code.
  13. RFM
    I'm still waiting 8 months to a plausible answer.
  14. RFM
    There are a lot of 997 with chirping serpentine belt rollers, only cars with man. gearboxes, they have plastic rollers. The ones with tiptronic have metal rollers without issues.
  15. RFM
    The hard topshell is alluminium.
  16. RFM
    Can be a question of resistance or consumption in extreme temperatures like you said.
  17. RFM
    The fog lamps in the back are o.k. ? If yes reinstall the original lamps and trey again, i don't believe that an O.P.C. will start working on non original items.
  18. RFM
    Are you sure that the push rod between the slave cylinder and the clutch fork have still his plastic top?
  19. RFM
    Not necceseraly when you can proof it with pics and documents ( bill - note ).
  20. RFM
    It is better to repaint the whole hood while the car is in the shop, i think it help the resale value if you take pics BEFORE and AFTER the paint job, to show that the car wasn't damaged by car accident.
  21. RFM
    Look for cooling water overflow dripping on the exhaust, i can not see an other possibility at this moment.
  22. RFM
    Engine room ventilation fan perhaps.
  23. RFM
    Wheel 8Jx18 = 235/40 ZR 18 Wheel 10Jx18 =265/40 ZR 18 ROW 997 and 987 Hope this helps.
  24. RFM
    The booster is probably delivered with a fire extinguisher.
  25. RFM
    Pry out the trim piece with a flat screwdriver starting left or right under, disconnect the switches when the trim is out, the wiring is long enough.
