    In most cases the sunroof frame needs to come out.
  2. Loren
    Yes. 996.631.245.00 is for the left side 996.631.246.00 is for the right side

    Ok, that makes more sense now. A few months ago we updated the software here and it added some new security features. One of which is a "stronghold cookie". This type of cookie identifies the machine you are on and stores it along with your info. It has some other features that I would rather not elaborate on - since these are for added security and keep people from stealing your cookie (at some other site). If it really bothers everyone then I can turn the stronghold cookie feature "off" - but then your cookie would revert back to a standard (unprotected) cookie.

    There are several TSBs for sunroof issues. Most of the noise issues are solved with telfon tape and felt tape.

    996.555.083.02 plus your color

    What browser, browser version, OS, OS version are you using?

    The recall was for specific VINs - in the US a "recall" is a government required action on any safety concern. Generally, when Porsche finds a safety concern they usually require a dealer action "Workshop Campaign" to fix the problem. Workshop Campaigns are usually voluntary.

    This has been covered here many times -- please do a Search.

    I have added the PCNA CPO Warranty Brochure here.

    If it is the one I think you are describing then it is the oil pressure sender. It is a tight fit but if you go at it vertically it can removed and replaced.
  13. Loren
    The senders are known to sometimes leak.

    996.347.011.05 was replaced by 996.347.011.06 which was replaced by 996.347.011.07. So 996.347.011.07 is the latest. You will also need: 997.347.373.00 sealing ring (2 required) 996.347.293.04 clamping ring (2 required) 996.347.191 04 bellows (2 required)

    Well, there is the hand crank for the sunroof (see your owners manual). I would be careful - if it binds too much stop. A shop with a PST2 or PIWIS can diagnosis the sunroof microswitches to see if one of them has failed. I suggest that. If one fan on one side stopped then it could be fuse (Right - C8; Left - C10), or a bad ballast, or a bad fan. If it is not the fuse then have the shop with the PST2 check then fan circuits too -- and the CEL fault(s) while they are there.

    996.505.425.00.70C Left bumper guard 996.505.426.00.70C Right bumper guard or you could by a pair of the painted ones from bumperplugs.com

    If those codes don't work then you will need to call Becker or a Porsche dealer and be prepared to prove ownership and pay (about $35 as I recall).

    Model year and model please?
  19. Loren
    To my knowledge the 550 Special Edition comes with a short-shifter. You want it shorter than that? The parts list does not show a different muffler for the 550 (from the S).
  20. Loren
    Try 5274 and if that doesn't work try 5272
  21. Loren
    You need an OBD II tool that can read the cars mixtures and air flow (TRA, FRA, MAF air flow). Without these diagnostics you are shooting in the dark.

    Always try the re-training part first. My sunroof is strange it "loses it" about twice a year. I re-train it and it is fine for 6 months again.
  24. Loren
    Ken Gorin's response here is a good sign - at least I think so. Now if he and his company make things right for gittledog I will be even more impressed. gittledog - Please let us know the outcome to this unfortunate situation.

    www.carcareonline.com had it previously and they still have the clear coat. You might try emailing them about the silver.
