    Congratulations! It's all in the Contributing Members (only) forum here ;)

    Okay - this is closed due to name calling. You folks need to take this offline. Further discussion is between the buyer, seller and eBay. John V's response to clarify and close this topic.

    A PDF version (not the latest version) of PET is available by following the link in our Links section here. I will leave this thread open as long folks keep it civil - so please do...

    Usually the letter X at the end of the part number means it is a rebuilt. The serial number should be on any paperwork also (since that is what they are warrantying).

    Sorry, I don't see anything here that is RoW or M030. 986.343.041.20 are standard front shocks 986.333.051.20 are standard rear shocks All M030 rear swaybars are 19.2 or 19.8 mm I do not have sizes for front swaybars Front blue/white are (US) standard springs Rear springs - there is no pink/yellow. There is blue/yellow or violet/yellow and neither are RoW M030 springs.

    There is no DIY for this. It is not to common but occasionally a tech will forget to hookup or tighten the ground strap after removing the transmission for an RMS or IMS There is a strap that connects the transmission to the chassis (on the underside of the car). Simply find that strap and check that both ends of the connection are attached and have good clean contact.
  10. Loren
    Yes, same situation - the coils are already installed on the struts.

    It is not the O2 sensors and it is likely not the MAF. If it were the MAF why would your engine be running too lean only on cylinders 4-6? I think you should look for intake leaks, a cracked oil filler hose, oil separator or other intake related problem.
  12. Loren
    If your car is under warranty they should do the firmware updates for free. I would not mention the new DVD at that time.
  13. Loren
    The RMS or IMS leaks from the joint where the engine mets the transmission. The best way to tell where the leak is will be to clean off all the existing oil - put some talc on the bottom of the engine and raise it on a hoist to see where the oil starts from (IMHO of course).

    9 bolts for the GT3 pressure plate -- 6 bolts for the Carrera pressure plate. Folks - remember the GT3 and 996/997 Carrera use both different engines and transmissions.
  15. Loren
    Did your dealer do the firmware upgrade so you can use the newer DVD? As I recall there are several upgraded that must be done by the dealer to use the newer DVD software.

    Remove and test fuse C3 (third row down from the top - third fuse from the left). It should be 15A. That fuse is the alarm, power windows, interior lights, sun roof, cab top.
  17. Loren
    Model year of you car? Model of your car? US/Canada car or RoW?

    The rear spring part number does not exist in PET anymore - so I can not verify it against the VIN range. Maybe a dealer has a way to look up old numbers but I don't. Sorry. Only the rear bump stops change for M030. US M030 bump stops are: 996.333.105.03

    I am going to close this as those skins went away two software revisions ago...

    Look at the other mark on the springs Front: 1 green line = 6.5 mm thick compensation part. 1 white line = 3.0 mm thick compensation part. Rear: 1 green line = 4.0 mm thick compensation part. 1 white line = 0.5 mm thick compensation part.

    Rear stabilizer is pn 996 333 701 25 -- correct rear springs with pn 996 333 531 13 -- maybe correct - these springs were based on VIN Front shocks - 996 343 041 16 -- correct replaced by 996 343 041 17 Front stabilizer - 996 343 701 04 -- correct replaced by 996 343 701 21 Rear shocks - 996 333 051 13 -- correct replaced by 996 333 051 14 These are all older revs of parts - were they new?

    Have your OPC refer to TSB 1/05 9110 PCM2.1 System Connection: Complaints and Repair -- dated May 5, 2006. Excerpt...

    Scouser has updated the VIN Decoder. The VIN Decoder is here. Many thanks to Scouser for his continued efforts, work, and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:

    This is a new car - everything should be right. The dealers job is to make everything right. The dealer should fix any problem - no matter how small - no matter how long it takes. The dealer gets reimbursed for their time and parts by Porsche for any warranty work. Hard to believe they are balking at this. If this takes a tech longer than 2 hours (a very high estimate) then you need to find a new dealer. If you need good service go to Rector Porsche and ask for Peter Smith (shop foreman and PCA Tech committee member).
