I have just bought a used 997-2 Carrera 2S and I am wondering if anyone knows the TSB's W904 and WA24 ? The car also have the W913 which I found in the TSB libary to be the front muffler clamp. The other two I could not find in the TSB library. Regards, Niclas

Stereo upgrade
Niclas P replied to Niclas P's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Ok,I found a rubber gromet which are not used at all just behind the battery, and coming in just above the pedals. I will use this one and seal with some butyl. Concerning the negative connector for the amp, which is the best, to connect it to the negative terminal of the battery or to a earthing point ? Regards, Niclas -
Hello ! I am intending to add an amplifier in the booth, but I have issues in figuring out how to pull the (cables 4x signal + 4x speaker + remote on/off) through the firewall of the vehicle. I do not have any amp today in the booth so I cannot "reuse" some cables at all. I found two rubber gromets, on on each side of the battery, but both of these were completely stucked with cables. Are there any else ? regards, Niclas

Water Pump Failure
Niclas P replied to GOB's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I had mine changed in April, it took almost one day because the turbine inside the waterpump was damaged (pieces of the plastic turbine had fallen of) so the complete system had to be opened and flushed. But I guess that in normal conditions it should be 3-4 hours. // Niclas -
I found this on ebay and I am considering to purchase. The price is really much lower than here in Europe. Does anyone have experience about this seller ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...e=STRK:MEWA:VRI I have a friend in NC that I will visit in about a months time and I am thinking to ship to him and then bring it as luggage home. How much weight is the box? Regards, Niclas

Anyone that have tried to paint the edge of the white part of the rear light in red to have the same design as the 997? Made some photoshopping on my own car, I think it looks great. or anyone that have experience of tinting lamps? is it difficult to get a good result? regards, Niclas

Failed emission test
Niclas P replied to Niclas P's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I think you need someone to run the tests on your O2 sensors. I have an appointment with the local Porsche garage on Monday. They will support doing the troubleshooting. Picked up the car this morning. New spark plugs was the solution. The lambda value at the test station was 1.000 when tested later today. By the looks from the plugs it was amazing that the car would work as good as it did, probably they were never changed..... -

Failed emission test

The CEL light is working. Could it be as easy as a air leak in the exhaust system ? -

It has 73000 km. -
Was doing the yearly inspection today and failed on the emission testing. I had low (zero) readings on HC and CO but a lambda on 1.29, which is extremely high. The car was ran about for one hour before the test and we test drove 2 times with measuring after both, still high on lambda. The car starts and idles smooth, no check engine light, no soot in the tailpipes, no smoke. Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem?
