    Try 0996 or 0994

    PCM 1 was an option. It was expensive hard to use and very difficult to retrofit. IMHO you should buy a good after market system - the newer ones are much better these days.
  3. Loren
    Sorry, my mistake -- I mis-read the model year coverage. You need the 996.631.446.00.
  4. Loren
    Yes, but they say change both buckles and they are making double sure it doesn't happen again by re-soldering the grounds. One of the benefits of being a contributing member is you get to read the whole TSB (all the TSBs) - with all the details ;)
  5. Loren
    Corrosion. Could be either contact point. The newer ones have gold (plated) contacts on both. The grounds under the seat should be checked too (per the TSB).
  6. Loren
    The gold contact ones are the only ones in stock for several years now. 996.803.183.09 drivers side buckle.
  7. Loren
    Have a look at Durametric Software.
  8. Loren
    PTEC is correct.

    The first thing I would do with a car that is new to me is to verify what wheels and tires are on the car. I looked at a just purchased MY99 Carrera for a guy I know and he though it did not handle as good as other 996's he test drove. I drove the car and agreed - the backend was very loose. We looked at the wheels and the fronts were 7.5 x 18 and the rears were 9.0 x 18. Those are Boxster wheels - Carrera's get at least a 10" (x 18) wheel in the rear. Apparently someone had swapped wheels not knowing the difference. Once he put the proper wheels on the car it handled great. So, my short story there is to say it would be wise to investigate what wheels and tires you have and look for any suspension changes that could affect rubbing on the struts or their mounts. For your leaks - yes, start with the drains. I have posted the drain diagrams here many times. Pour a little water in them and see if they drain before you take anything apart.

    I sent you a PM. You can get all the wiring diagrams for your model year car at Porsche Technical Information website for $110. Each section of the service manual is $110 or $5,200 for a yearly subscription to all manuals.
  11. Loren
    996.631.446.00 is the tail light harness for a MY99-01 Carrera (item 2). Your profile says MY02 so you would need 996.631.447.00 996.631.447.00 tail light harness -- Retail $24.87. Try the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost - link at the top of any page).

    If the sticker under the front hood is gone then look in the maintenance manual (one of the first few pages). If that is gone too - then you need to order a COA (Certificate of Authenticity) from Porsche. These used to be $35 but I think they are more like $100 now.
  13. Loren
    N-rating does not matter with PSM - you should be concerned with rolling diameter. Stay within 2% of the factory spec and you will be fine.
  14. Loren
    That might be just a subassembly number - as it does not come up in my part list.
  15. Loren
    Well, there have been a number of firmware updates to solve a bunch of problems with the PCM systems. I am surprised that they haven't tried swapping headunits and amps. There have been some amp problems too that caused weird system shut downs.
  16. Loren
    Does your car have PCM (navigation)?
  17. Loren
    Front axle nut - 340 ftlbs. (460 Nm) Rear axle nut - 340 ftlbs. (460 Nm)
  18. Loren
    Try 5463 or 5461
  19. Loren
    Either will work fine. 996.107.225.60 replaced 996.107.225.52 (and 53)
  20. Loren
    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=47193 Alos, did you see section 5 (Noise in area 5 – Creaking and/or rattling noises on the panel for passenger’s airbag.) of TSB 1/00 7018 -- dated June 30 2000?
  21. Loren
    Here is the parts diagram...

    First if your battery is over 4 or 5 years old - replace it as it likely no longer taking a charge. If you are positive your battery is good then you need to put an amp meter inline with the battery. Then remove fuses one at a time until you find the fuse circuit that is drawing all of the power. Normally a 996 draws about 40-60ma (as I recall). Once you find the circuit where the drain is then it should be fairly easy to trace down the component.

    The MY2002 Tech Book says: Since they now have about 5 years experience on the "no change fuel filter" -- it must be working...
  24. Loren
    Then you are going to need to go to a dealer or directly to Becker. Last time I checked Becker charges $35 - sometimes dealers do it for free and sometimes they charge.
  25. Loren
    No sometimes my program does not work. One more... try 3363
