    If your car has a radio model CDR-23 then the radio code is locked in the engine control unit (DME). If you change (Porsche) radios you need to have a shop or dealer change the code in the DME.

    I would definitely clean the throttle body too. Sometimes cleaning the ICV is temporary fix. Seems sometimes the solenoid just gets weak and then you have to replace the ICV.

    96 ftlb. (130 Nm).

    ICV bolts are larger Torx (maybe 40 or 45) as I recall. Also, a good set of metric hex wrenches would be handy too. Well, depending on your need there is one security Torx for the MAF. There are also a few triple square bolts (seatback locks on Carrera's and some transmission drain plugs). I think you buy those as needed.

    A good set of metric wrenches and sockets (10mm to 19 mm). A set of smaller Torx drivers (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35). A good torque wrench (that has not been dropped) (0 to 150 ftlb). An average torque wrench for wheel bolts only (0 to 150 ftlb). A good jack and a hockey puck ( to protect the underside when lifting the car). Jack stands and/or sturdy ramps. If you have a laptop computer then the Durametric Software for OBD II diagnosis and fault code resetting. Those seem like a good start to me... :D

    Porsche makes VW bid it hopes market refuses
  7. Loren
    CDR-23 and newer radios do not have codes to enter. The radios are matched in the DME - so if you change radios you will need a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    The parts list has 955.552.247.01.A03 as the non-smoker package (available only in black).
  9. Loren
    18" is the largest listed in the Porsche parts list.
  10. Loren
    Here it is reduced in size... Idle_Control_Valve___cleaning_98_boxster_2.pdf
  11. Loren
    It should - the only things that changed were the leather colors and the Porsche logo (slight).
  12. Loren
    To my knowledge there has never been a Porsche Sport Exhaust for the 996TT (including X50 packages). All the "sport exhausts" I know of for 996TT are aftermarket.
  13. Loren
    They all worked for me. Did you remove the spaces? (i.e. PNA50398701)
  14. Loren
    It is the same part number (996.618.980.03).
  15. Loren
    Folks - please just keep it civil here and keep it on topic. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...
  16. Loren
    From everything I have heard (to date) the 997 seal is your best choice.
  17. Loren
    Water in the brake booster?
  18. Loren
    If it is up (all the time) then chances are there is air in the system. It is just a bleed valve and Cup Car racers leave it up most of the time.
  19. Loren
    color?
  20. Loren
    Offset Explained - check out this link http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...DE=02&cat=4
  21. Loren
    That is okay - and welcome! With over 54,000 posts here many topics have been covered in a great deal of detail... enjoy! :welcome:
  22. Loren
    That will depend on the wheel offset. Email the seller and ask them for the wheel offsets -- then we can help.
  23. Loren
    Have you done a search here? These same faults have been discussed many times here before. Just search for p1128 and p1130.
  24. Loren
    PCA has an "Excellent" comparison (IMHO). Much more detail and testing than I have ever seen (other than pure racing teams).
  25. Loren
    Only if they will let you put the locking assembly in (at their location since you can't drive it until the keys are programmed). I would buy a spare key from Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost at the top of any page). That way if their are any questions about the authenticity of the key - you have a Porsche dealer to vouch for it and you.
