    where did you get the car from? looks like it was sitting in water (flood damage). it can probably be cleaned up, but I would inspect the rest of the underbody for similar damage.
  2. wross996TT
    Mine is in the front trunk, driver side next to the spare. But you didn't post your MY, Model, US or RoW....?
  3. wross996TT
    IMHO, do not put in the MOST system. There are several "better" choices for head units and stereo. If it is that important to you, buy an 03+....the deals are great out there.
  4. wross996TT
    No, I think that the internal IR alarm system would be disabled as well. Plus if there were another fault you would not know it.
  5. wross996TT
    Of course Loren is correct. What some folks do is leave a sensor "open"....like the center console. This will give you an audible chirp. The problem is it also deactivates the internal alarm sensors....
  6. wross996TT
    Then I am in full agreement with you! And the issue is true of any FW that is imbalanced.
  7. wross996TT
    I would agree if the flywheel was totally wrong for the car, some severe damage could occur. So perhaps in the OP's case the wrong flywheel was installed. My point is that the OP should not generalize that all LWFWs are bad and will damage the car based on just his case. Here are some links...FYI: European Car Puma Racing
  8. wross996TT
    +1 fuel pump or ruptured fuel line. Search is your friend.
  9. wross996TT
    Yes I would like the reference as well since the GT3 RS comes with a LWFW stock....
  10. wross996TT
    Which DME version are you using when the durametric first starts?
  11. wross996TT
    As they say...show me the data...slbates above has another plausible hypothesis.
  12. wross996TT
    Well I'm a statistician and would be happy to look at your data and your sampling plans to determine what you actually have. Again, not trying to challenge your feelings, just don't want to hear pre-mature generalization.
  13. wross996TT
    for future reference: BMC filters
  14. wross996TT
    Sorry to hear about your shaft, but your conclusions are at best hypotheses. It is unfortunate, but I doubt the LWFW played as large a role as you FEEL. I'm with RPM...you should start with an Mk. II variant...
  15. wross996TT
    Why do you need new rotors? Lots of folks go with Pagid, Mintex, or EBC pads...depends on how you drive and what you want (quiet, less dust, performance...). Most are available in different colors for different characteristics. Here is a good link for TT Brakes
  16. wross996TT
    just curious....you put the RoW on a cab? Thought that was for coupes....
  17. wross996TT
    My guess without seeing your car. Yep That is what I wrote....true that!
  18. wross996TT
    Some random follow-up: 1. Changing the clutch slave is not changing the accumulator...this sounds like the issue 2. The oil arguments are just that. Read Doug Hillary's well documented posts on the studies he performed. He is quite happy with 0W40 as is Porsche for a number of years (mobil 5W50 is the only oil of this viscosity approved?) 3. As temps drop, you will feel the ill effects of oil viscosity too high. Your oil sensor is the problem. 4. You need the phone buttons for the BT Dension to work....not the voice buttons...(perhaps you know this?) 5. the clutch test is simply to see if it is slipping or holding. when the clutch is disengaged in the higher gear you should feel the car rpms drop fast...if not it is slipping. 6. I have not driven the RoW suspension so it is not fair for me to judge it. I do have the PSS9 and can attest to the fact that the ride is actually better than stock (I don't feel the bumps and handling is way better).
  19. wross996TT
    Possible fault cause ♦ Throttle is jammed ♦ Leaks in intake air system If it does not come back don't worry about it. If it does check for leaks...
  20. wross996TT
    My guess is suspension related....so get it checked for something loose (swaybars, steering rack, drop links, control arms, etc.) could even be a piece of debris. Reading the codes means plugging in an OBD reader (Durametric, PST2, PIWIS) to se if there is anything reported.
  21. wross996TT
    Don't know this one...try Sunset first I do NOT use a hardtop ever, so mot point for me. Keeping the top folded ids not an issue...just put the top up on a warm sunny day and you are GTG. Some folks use a lubricant (can't remember the name...something like crytox)...FWIW mine does the same thing. I don't know this one either...I redid mine in CF. No hardtop here. Not sure what Gert is referring to other than he wants to sell the whole unit. I bought the B&M SSK and have 0 problems with it....very nice mod....the car should come like this. There was no option to buy an SSK during ordering AFAIK.
  22. wross996TT
    Replacing fluids depends on a number of factors....how the car is driven, environment, etc. Since this is new to you, I would start with a clean slate of fluids (except perhaps coolant). Definitely change the brake fluid. Lots here...it is quite possible the slave or accumulator are starting to go....to test the clutch go WOT in 3rd and shift to 5th....you should feel the clutch disengage. If you are going to mod....you will eventually need a new clutch. I went with the Sachs stage 2 GT3RS w/LWFW (bought from Kevin). It does chatter! All 04 turbos have that voice button....unless you have the factory phone installed (or an after market equivalent) it does nothing. I'm not sure what BT module you speak of....I have installed the Dension Gateway 500 and I believe the BT does not work with my model. You did not state the intended use?.... Assuming street. JMHO...I have had Bridgestone S02s, MPS2s and MPSC...I am now driving on Yoko Advans (like you)....IMHO the Yokos are the best tire for the street, but you will hear many fans of the over-priced PS2s Again depends on intended use....for street mainly....RoW provides a lower stance, but I have heard a rather harsh ride. I went with Euro PSS9 set-up and am quite happy. For more aggressive rides....JIC, JRZ, MOTON...
  23. wross996TT
    First make sure you tell us about the car...you gave MY, but is it tip or manual, any mods, last service done.... See the Porsche TSB for recommended oil. 0W40, 5W40 and 5W50 all are OK. BTW, Kevin knows his stuff! I change mine at least once/year...I have 13K on an 04 (like yours). I also have my indy cut the oil filter apart to check for "stuff". There is a lot of variation in oil usage. Be happy tours does not burn a lot....you are fine.
  24. wross996TT
    Here you go....
