    I would start by flushing and changing your brake fluid. Look for corrosion on the caliper piston when you push them back for the new pads - if is more than minor they will need to be rebuilt.
  2. Loren
    Are you sure we don't have them? When did you last check? ;) ;)

    I replaced the ballast and fan worked for a little while. Ballast got so hot it was smoking. I notice that this fan is much harder to turn than the passenger fan. Has anyone replaced the radiator fan? Instructions? Look at my 3rd radiator instructions - taking the fan motor out is just one more step.

    There are 4 E12 (external torx) bolts that hold the seats in. Unfastening the electrical connectors is a bit puzzle like but they all do disconnect. Are you sure they need to come out - or do you just have to remove the bolts from the front? Either way - some words of caution. Do not have the key in the ignition (even in the off position) when you remove the seats - or you will get an airbag light. The airbag circuit is active from the moment you put the key in the ignition. Also, see this link - I don't know if B-K has changed their bracket. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=391

    I have merged these two topics on the RS60.

    The cupholder can be removed.

    Your other two posts have been deleted. Please do not double and triple post. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    See the DIY or do a search for the oil filter tool (74 mm 14 flutes as I recall). I keep my oil level in middle - not too high and not too low.

    See the 996 DIY - the oil change DIY is the same for 996 and 997 (and 986 and 997 for that matter). The easiest way to remove a little extra oil (to me) is to take the oil filter off - empty the oil out of it and put it back on.

    Someone else had this same problem - do a search. As I recall it turned out to be a broken wire in the steering wheel switching.

    The company he is used is actually Oklahoma Foreign, Inc. http://www.oklahomaforeign.com/

    I just ordered the Durametric OBD software, so I don't know if I will be able to do something in regards to the radio with the on board computer, to delete the 4 flashes. I did not use the Bose amp. I hooked up the door and dashboard speakers in series for the front. The rear speakers remained at 2 Ohms. I used the Boyo VTL300 backup camera, and it plugs directly into the kenwood. The Durametric software can not program MOST devices (like the radio, CD player, etc.). You will need to find someone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester to re-program those devices.

    Look at the fuel door repair DIY - we cover the front wheel liner there. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13955 Also, the front bumper is very similar to a stnadrard 996 bumper see the 3rd radiator DIY here. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7070

    Try 8922 or 8920
  16. Loren
    Yes, after the first oil change the interval drops from 40,000 miles to 36,000 miles.

    The Litronics will not autolevel unless they were factory installed. The aftermarket kit Porsche sells says so in the instructions. Only factory installed Litronic have the leveling sensors on the axles.
  18. Loren
    It would depend on where the wiring problem is. Have you narrowed it down? Have you tried a new MAF to be sure it is the wiring?
  19. Loren
    Did you read the TSB for how to check the DMF? TSB 8/02 1360 Dual Mass Flywheel Check Procedure -- dated 12-13-02

    Item 2 on each list. For MY05-07 Oil/Filter change is "After 20,000,60,000, 100,000, 140,000 miles (30,000,90,000, 150,000, 210,000 km) etc." For MY08 Oil/Filter change is "After 24,000, 60,000, 96,000, 132,000 miles etc. / 40,000, 100,000, 160,000, 220,000 km etc."

    We have added downloadable PDFs for new Porsche Maintenance Checklists. They cover Major, Minor, Additional, and Annual service for US/Canada cars. They are available for: MY05 - MY07 Boxster/Cayman (987/987c) MY08 Boxster/Cayman (987/987c) MY05 - MY07 Carrera (997) MY08 Carrera (997) MY07 TT (997) MY08 TT (997) These new downloadable versions can be printed. You will find them in the Maintenance Checklist section We also added checklists for the 993 series and 993TT.

    Perhaps someone put springs on the car previously? Either way if you change to RoW M030 it will come to the ride height as specified. No fender rolling is required as long as you use factory wheel widths and tire sizes.
  23. Loren
    That should not hurt the motor. Be sure and take it out of the circuit. Pin 1 is ground. Pin 3 is low speed (when the ballast is present). Pin 2 is high speed.
  24. Loren
    For the MAF sensor.

    You know, I thought about that ... but then when starting the car, it would light up all the lights except the one without a bulb. Plus I don't know if the car computer would get upset over a missing bulb and log a whole bunch of errors against that ... Ok, so I just got a call from the dealer. He said that they need to replace the 1) seat belt clips (the part fixed onto the seat, neat hips) 2) and the wiring harness under the seat For both drivers and passengers side to fix it. Parts + labor = $870. Does that seem ok or a bit high ?? Also, is it necessary to replace both sides or just one side, the faulty side, would be ok? I didn't confirm yet, but I think its unlikely that both sides would go out at the same time, eh? Edit: Sorry, but last question: Assuming I buy the durametric tool, does anyone know how easy/tough this repair would be a DIY? As always, thanks! Sid For a difficulty level read the TSB. If you have a Durametric tool it will tell you exactly which belt buckle needs replacing. You could wait on the other and replace only the one that gives a fault.
