  1. :lol: I need to stay out of that place - I always leave with two or three things more than I went in for... 5 pc Auto Trim and Molding Tool Set
  2. If you look at the alternator voltage with the engine running it should be 14 volts (or close to it).
  3. The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect March 2008 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For March 2008 the price lists support: US: 218,882 parts Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006) Thanks to Contributing Member Porschelibrarian!
  4. You need to find someone with the Durametric software, or a PST2 or a PIWIS tester to check your alternator. Or, you will need to remove it and have an alternator shop test/repair it.
  5. Try 4957 or 4955
  6. Unless you have some huge power drain it is likely time to have the alternator checked. Where are you located?
  7. They likely left the key in the ignition when they removed the seats (that sets off the airbag light). You will need to find someone with the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS to reset the airbag light. At this time those are the only devices that can do it. Where are you located? Perhaps someone here can reset it for you...
  8. I would start with the battery - if it is over 1 year old then it can easily go bad. Also, have you added anything electrical or electronic to the car (that could cause a power drain)?
  9. Hmm... are you sure they aren't triple-square bolts? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Square_screws
  10. Ah... you had the key in the ignition when you removed the side airbag connector. Hope someone close can help...
  11. The wheel width and offset should be next to the tire valve. Hollow wheels (must) have metal valves. As I recall there may be a part number on the inside of the wheel too.
  12. You can try wiggling the switch and seeing if the results are different. If it were just one headlight I would lean towards a bad connection at the light but since both do it I think I would suspect the headlight switch first.
  13. You are welcome.
  14. Because of the "lazy" cranking I would check the battery on a reliable tester and if it is okay then start looking for a poor chassis ground.
  15. A 993 holds about 11 (US) quarts.
  16. Try 9504 or 9502
  17. Harbor Freight - $4.99 (everyone should have a set of these IMHO)
  18. The parts list only shows the high flow pump for the GT2. But the GT2 also has a different fuel tank (no 4WD) - so I don't know if that would make any difference.
  19. The ATF is cycling through the cooler (along with the coolant) so there are those lines and main pan gasket. I would inspect those first.
  20. can i get part number for black "carrera" badge for 2001? thanks 996.559.237.06.70C Carrera logo in rally black -- MSRP $24.52. thanks Loren! do you happen to have the instructions of placement on the rear lid....below the ridge on 99-01? again, thanks http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=24349
  21. That TSB is about cooling hose clamps - so if they were leaking that most likely would be coolant. I am in Roseville so if you can't find the problem - perhaps I can have a look at it.
  22. Did the PST2 or PIWIS say it was setting activating the radio? Perhaps it would make sense to disconnect the "other devices" and see if the radio works again.
  23. Did you try the button on the fuse box front (near your left foot)?
  24. can i get part number for black "carrera" badge for 2001? thanks 996.559.237.06.70C Carrera logo in rally black -- MSRP $24.52.
