    They are both in the boot under the top - behind a panel. Contributing Member izzyandsue showed how to get at that panel in his Cab top hydraulic fluid DIY here. See the pics for top positioning, panel removal and access to the DME, Tip controller and top controller.

    The front rotors are a different design than the rears. I do not have a VIN list for RoW (HK vehicles). You will need to see a dealer for that.
  3. Loren
    Yes.
  4. Loren
    Try searching for "headliner"
  5. Loren
    Your rotors look normal. The TSB instructs the dealer to replace the brake pads - at no charge - if your car is on the VIN list of those affected.

    Just click on Donate at the top of any page... Thanks.

    1. Remove the cover trim at the left and right towards the front - by simply pulling it off. 2. Unscrew the fastening screw on each side. 3. Pull the sound package in the towards the front of the car and out of the bracket and fold over. 4. Disconnect the electrical plugs press side and pull apart.

    See the 3rd radiator instructions here. Bumper removal is described there (it is the same for a 996 and 986).

    Re-teach the Windows

    Have a look at the Porsche CPO list here.

    Sorry, there are no instructions because Porsche sells only the whole headlight assembly.

    TSB 2/05 W551 W551 – Replacing Brake Pads -- dated 3-18-2005 This TSB (as well as all other TSBs) are available here to view by our Contributing Members.

    No, not to my knowledge. Look at your options list - under your front hood. If option code M601 is not on the list then you don't have Bi-Xenon.

    The only lights available in MY02 were standard Halogen (H7 and H9 bulbs) or Bi-Xenon (D2S). Only the Bi-Xenon had self leveling (or as Porsche calls it "Dynamic automatic beam angle adjustment" - AHBA). The dynamic beam angle adjustment for the Bi-Xenon system equates to the unit fitted into Carrera and Boxster models (986/996) and 911 Turbo since model year '99. The system is a major contribution to road traffic safety. Automatic correction of the beam angle when the load on the car changes or during pitching movements of the car caused by braking and accelerating reliably prevents dazzling of oncoming traffic and improves road surface illumination on braking.

    Okay, I usually do that with the mufflers off the car. You will need to spread the clamp more then with pliers.
  20. Loren
    That would be the spring spacer compensation part - green is the thick spacer and white is thinner one.
  21. Loren
    Pry them off with a screwdriver - but without bending the clamps.
  22. Loren
    175 to 180 for coolant is normal. For oil temperature anything under 250 is fine and even at track events or very hot days 250 for a while is okay. 275 or over and I would be concerned.
  23. Loren
    He should be okay if he wraps the filter in newspaper overnight to absorb any excess oil. These filters (BMC and K&N) seem to come over oiled. I have been running a BMC (oiled) filter for over 6 years with no problems. Porsche also uses BMC filters on all their Cup cars and other race cars.

    "Remove existing fuel tank cap. 2.1 Open fuel filler flap on the vehicle (refer to Owner's Manual). 2.2 Push pin into the expansion rivet with a 2.5 mm punch. 2.3 Remove expansion rivet from the bore on the fuel filler flap with side cutters or pliers." It is all covered in a 4 page TSB.

    Todd, I think you will find your answers here.
