    It is exceedingly hard to nearly impossible to diagnose anything from video soundtracks. And no, the pulleys should remain silent when the belt is removed. The sound could be related to the timing chains, but the car needs to be evaluated by a competent Porsche tech or independent before you move forward.

    Coil housing looks like it is cracked, if it is, can it and replace it.

    Not really, the misfire may just be a separate issue, but a misfire on one bank cannot cause an O2 issue on the other bank.

    The P0130 and 0150 codes are both potential wiring harness issues (shorts or low voltage signals). If the car was in my shop, I would make note of the codes and then clear them all, and then take the car out for a run to see what comes back. It is unusual for both O2 sensors ahead of the main cat to develop problems simultaneously, so it could be a harness problem rather than the sensors themselves. If the 0130 and 0150 codes return, I would check the sensors themselves for the correct voltages; if they check out, I would start looking at the harness for shorts or other issues. The misfires could be connected to the sensor issues, or a coil or plug problem.

    I really don't understand why you would want to do this, but here is how one person did it: https://9werks.co.uk/articles/my-porsche-story-the-996-c4s-rwd-conversion

    Our best wishes. Do you have any idea of what it will take to convert a four-wheel drive car to be a two-wheel drive, and do you realize when you are done you will have a "Frankenstein" car with little or no resale value? The view definitely ain't worth the climb on this one......

    A photo would be useful......

    You need to be testing total amperage draw on the circuits; for that, I use what is called a DC "clamp" meter that senses the draw on an active circuit, it simply clamps around the wire under test and shows you how much current (amps) is being pulled:

    Welcome to RennTech Jake Raby's "Knowledge Gruppe" sells two great books listing every torque spec for 1998 to 2005, and 2005 on. Well worth the $.
  10. JFP in PA
    That part, 996-605-105-02, is only about $22 at dealer.
  11. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Lots of possibles, I would start by testing your AOS and pressure testing your cooling system.
  12. JFP in PA
    You need to start checking circuits, relays, and the controller for excess amperage draw, shorts, etc.

    Welcome to RennTech What code(s) is the car throwing?
  14. JFP in PA
    No, not without further electrical diagnostics. It could still be the compressor clutch, but you need to do some testing to find out.
  15. JFP in PA
    B10 is the fuse for the AC clutch, amongst other circuits (Instrument Cluster Diagnosis Mirror Adjustment (to 1997)Headlight Vertical Aim Control (from 1999)ALWR (from 2001)Parking Assistant (from 2001) .

    Welcome to RennTech That frame is not supposed to reach or cover the side edge of the window; factory tops had a gap between the rear edge of the window at the level of the rubber wiper gasket on the top edge of the door skin and the black metal top frame of just about 1/4 of an inch that decreased as you went up the rear edge of the window.

    There are a couple of sources such as the Bentley manual for the car. We cannot reproduce them here because they are the intellectual property of PCNA.

    I’ve never seen an adaptor that actually worked, but Porsche released a replacement socket for the 986/996 cars which solved the problem perfectly, and that might be an alternative. Any good Porsche Parts Department should be able to help you
  19. JFP in PA
    The short may not be in the sensors, it may be furnther up the harness, which will require diagnosing the harness with digital multi meter looking for where the short may be located.

    We use the Durametric software, pro version, and it activates them without issues.

    You need access to a PIWIS system to code the car correctly.

    Welcome to RennTech P1502 in these cars indicates one of two things: a questionable fuel pump relay, or a dying DME, which is probably why the car is in the limp mode. A new DME and getting the car flat bedded to a dealer to reprogram it for the new DME is going to cost a ton of $. Realistically, unless they are giving the car away, I would look elsewhere.

    Column lock may only be available with the unit, which is nearly $3K new from a dealer. You may want to ID exactly what needs to be replaced with the lock and see if they sell it separately, otherwise it is bone yard time. And these columns are a whole lot of fun to pull out and replace. You may have upset the airbag while working on the car; get everything back together and then read and clear the airbag code to see if it comes back.

    Welcome to RennTech The oil fill tubes are a bit of a bear to get at and replace. Failure isn't common, getting broken while someone working on the car that isn't familiar with them is.
  25. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Search is your friend on this problem as it is a common one, usually traced to the electrical contact isolation in the steering wheel assembly falling apart after years of use. Over the years, people have come up with different ways to repair it.
