    Good advice! Judging from your responce, these failures aren't that common, right? Is there a documentation on how to remove the IP? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=9563 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=2434

    Stock screws are M6 x 12 mm - so you will want much longer ones.

    If you don't feel comfortable removing the cluster and checking the connections then find a good Porsche indie shop. I'd hate to see some dealer replace a $2000 plus cluster for a loose connection.
  4. Loren
    If you have swapped the relays and you are sure the fuse is good (measured conductivity with a meter?). Then it is either the ballast resister or the motor. I guess you could bypass the resister to test the the motor.
  5. Loren
    If you had more electrical anomalies I would suspect the ignition switch. But I would also remove the cluster and make sure all the connectors are plugged in tight. Where are you located?

    :welcome: Unplug your MAF - it does almost nothing at idle and really only comes into play at higher RPMs. Then tell us how it runs.
  7. Loren
    Hmm... I would say: - a good set of metric sockets, and combination wrenches - a set of common torx drivers and metric allen wrenches - a low cost torque wrench that is used just for wheels - a mid to upper range torque wrench for engine and suspension use - a good low profile jack - a minimum of two jack stands That should be a good start (IMHO).

    For a Porsche part - no way. Don't confuse Porsche part prices with Bosch part prices. Dealers are only allowed to Porsche replacement parts.
  9. Loren
    Did you try pushing the volume button? that turns mute on and off. For your code try 0968 or 0966
  10. Loren
    Hmm... did they check to see if a connector came loose?
  11. Loren
    Have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)?
  12. Loren
    RMS problems were rampant until Porsche came out with a new version seal toward the end of 1996, if I recall the date correctly. Prior to then, it wasn't unusual to have seals fail in six months. Since then, there appear to far fewer problems. I would not be bothered by the RMS replacements, but that is just my opinion. The first 996 production run wasn't until 1998 - so I think you remember the date wrong. The new seal did not come out until July 2005 (with the introduction of 987 and 997).

    It is not hard to remove and replace - but someone will need to paint the new bumper first.
  14. Loren
    Right fuse panel - fuse 11.
  15. Loren
    Or... he could download here on this site... CDR-23 Owners Manual
  16. Loren
    Hmm... time to look for a power drain. Poor grounds? etc.
  17. Loren
    Some dealers here in the US will sell you the spare from a 996 series C4. With the tool (jack, lug wrench, etc.) kit it will fit in your front trunk. As I recall you will lose roughly half of your trunk space.
  18. Loren
    Try 5048 or 5046
  19. Loren
    Lost Radio Code - FAQ -- PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  20. Loren
    Try 7255 or 7253
  21. Loren
    The bumpers are the same - before they are cut and installed. Yes, you will need to remove the bumperette hardware first.
  22. Loren
    :welcome: Porsche has published an 8 page installation TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for installing the CDC-4. It is available here to view online to our Contributing Members (as are all TSBs) -- or you can try to get your dealer to give you a copy.
  23. Loren
    Just buy a new bumper and don't cut the holes for the bumperettes. Most RoW cars do not have bumperettes.
  24. Loren
    Nothing special - you do have an extra radiator, but it will bleed with the rest of the system.
  25. Loren
    Try 0735 or 0733
