    The process for a GT3 is the same as a Carrera. Have a look at the DIY here to see if it is what you want to try.
  2. Loren
    probably not if you are careful. Yes, it might take a minute or two to synch then it will ask for the code(s).

    P1341 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 1 – Below Limit, Above Limit, Signal Implausible Potential causes: – Short to ground – Open circuit in triggering wire – Open circuit in B+ supply – Actuator faulty
  4. Loren
    As I recall the Nav has to come out to get to the horseshoe off. Just press in on the release clips on each side of the nav and slide forward so you can disconnect the cables. You will need your code when you start the nav back up again.

    Model year of your car? US/Canada or RoW?

    Have a look at TSB 4/99 6420 Noises at the Windshield and Rear Window -- dated 7-13-1999.

    I would start with the P1341. Look for a shorted or broken wire/connector. If not you will need a new actuator. With those codes (P0300) your CEL should have been flashing - was it?
  10. Loren
    Have you checked to see if you have any power steering fluid in the tank (in the engine compartment)? If there is none -- then buy some and start looking for the leak.
  11. Loren
    That is normal - US only gets one bright rear fog light - so you don't mistake it for brake lights. Check the brown wire and make sure you have a proper ground (continuity). Check the other wire and see if there is ~12 volts there when on. It could still be just a bad socket.
  12. Loren
    I think they both have their uses and a PST2 or PIWIS are a significant investment ($2000 to $18,000). I wonder if you have a bad MAF connector or a pinched wire.
  13. Loren
    Hmm... I use the DB9 direct. I have not tried his USB cable. No, there is no ABS info (other than Pcode faults) unless you manually enter the hex code queries - which I have not tried.
  14. Loren
    As I recall the 996 TT has never had a dipstick (since 2001). The Boxster and Carrera model lost their dipstick with the 987 and 997 models. The older Boxster and Carrera had both electronic and mechanical (dipstick) measurement. Only the V6 (VW design) Cayenne engine has a dipstick the Cayenne S and TT do not. Of course the ($400,00 plus) Carrera GT does not have a dipstick.

    Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost Featured item top left of the page - about $82 to $98.

    MY99 C4 - standard suspension Front struts: 996.343.043.02

    1. Remove tail lights (1 - 10 mm bolt inside the engine compartment). 2. Remove bumperettes (impact horns on only USA version) - Unclip closure cap, undo fastening screws and remove impact horn. The fastening screws can remain on the bumper with the washers. 3. Remove cover molding (metal strip and screws where the lid closes) and sheetmetal screws from the bottom side of the bumper cover. 4. Disconnect license plate light plug connection. 5. Remove rear bumper.
  18. Loren
    Yes.
  19. Loren
    Try emailing gert@carnewal.com - I know he has PSS-9 coilovers for PASM equipped 997's so he can likely get them for a 987.
  20. Loren
    Hmm... I've been using the ISO version for years. Does it not connect?

    also known as O2 (oxygen sensors)
  22. Loren
    1. Yes, think if all the stress of cornering has on that mount. 2. and 3. You could use either. I think TRG has them as well as others. 4. 997.343.018.00 (yes, this is a 997 upgrade part from the 996 part).
  23. Loren
    P1128 Oxygen sensing adaptation, idle range, bank 1 P1130 Oxygen sensing adaptation, idle range, bank 2 This means that your car is running too lean - the DME can not make the mixture rich enough to compensate for the lean condition. You should check your MAF (TRA and FRA) and look for other air leaks like a torn oil filler hose, or oil seperator.

    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect October 2006 pricing for the US (only).
