    Yes the hubs are different but I don' think the calipers are different - except for color. I've seen C4 (silver) calipers on a C2.
  2. Loren
    If you have to replace the control module then the program (with access codes) will need to be transferred with a PST2 or PIWIS. If the transfer fails for some reason then a dealer will need to get an IPAS code from Porsche to program the new module.
  3. Loren
    Those lights are controlled by the alarm/central locking controller (under the drivers seat on LHD cars). You might want to check the connections. The functions are easily tested with a PST2 or PIWIS.
  4. Loren
    Yes, most likely.
  5. Loren
    Try JeffClark@sunsetimports.com
  6. Loren
    Yes, they should as long as the model types are the same (i.e. C2-C2, C4-C4, C4S-C4S).
  7. Loren
    I do the same and I don't recall it ever removing the orange square when using the browser back button. You would need to reload (refresh) the View New Posts page for that to happen. I always just click on View New Posts again and it shows me (with orange squares) the unread posts.

    Replacement door handles (in leather) run about $375 US.

    900.219.009.30 engine drain plug -- MSRP $3.10 (as of June 2006) 900.123.106.30 sealing ring -- MSRP $0.37 The parts list does not show either plug (fill or drain) on a 6 speed transmission. 900.124.025.02 front axle drain plug -- MSRP $4.90
  10. Loren
    Could be... try wiggling it and see if there is any change.

    Open the window slightly and see if the whistle stays or disappears. Some other common causes of this type of noise have been a mis-aligned front trunk lid and misaligned gas flap.

    They can only be reset with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. 33 - no passenger compartment monitoring -- Replace passenger compartment monitoring sensor. 60 - central locking limit position locked not reached -- Possible cause of fault - Central locking switch faulty - Short circuit to ground/open circuit in wiring between the alarm system control module, central locking switch or door locks - Driver's/passenger's door lock faulty - Control module faulty Most of the troubleshooting tests for fault 60 require more alarm tests using a PST2 or PIWIS tester. I would not replace that fault 33 passenger compartment monitoring sensor until the tests are run as you could have a bad control module.
  13. Loren
    US or RoW car please? Do all the other lights work okay? i.e. headlights etc. Any other strange electronic problems?
  14. Loren
    996 612 978 00 is the just wiring for the PSE switch (not the rest of the PSE).
  15. Loren
    If it were just the lights I would say light switch - but the other items make me think it is the ignition switch.
  16. Loren
    All except 996 612 978 00 are for MY02-04 996. 996 612 978 00 will fit MY98-04.

    The seat harness(es) all have connectors that can be unpluged. Some are almost puzzle like but they all come apart so you can remove the seat and inspect everything. If the wire itself is not damaged then taping should work fine. I would also put a tie wrap on the wire so it stays out of harms way.
  18. Loren
    Worth a look. You will need an E12 (external torx) socket to remove the seat. Be sure to disconnect the battery and remove the key from the ignition before removing the seat - otherwise you will get an airbag light.
  19. Loren
    So you are talking about E3 a 30 amp fuse? If so, the seat is the only thing on that fuse.
  20. Loren
    1. Sport suspension came on all C4S - US and RoW. 2. X73 is only recommended for MY03 and newer. I've seen for about $2500 plus installation. 3. I do not know if it has the proper emission vents/returns for the US. You are talking about US? 4. Perhaps someone else can answer that one...
  21. Loren
    It is hard to miss. The ICV is a solenoid just on the left of the throttle body. It is held on by two allen head screws and has a delicate paper gasket (don't lose or damage the gasket) between the solenoid and the throttle body. Cleaning works sometimes - but if it is too gummed up then it will need to be replaced.
  22. Loren
    There was a TSB in 1999 that describes an inner door lock release problem. Does the door release work from the inside (when pulling on the handle twice with the doors locked)?
  23. Loren
    Yes, it should.
  24. Loren
    In the US if it is a formal government recall (as opposed to a Porsche Workshop Campaign) then it shows up on the US government recall website (here).
  25. Loren
    Yes, and the DME changed from 5.2.2 to 7.2 in MY2000 (mainly for egas) and to 7.8 in MY03. The MY03 and new cars also support more controller-to-controller communication (i.e. new style instrument cluster, etc.) via CAN as of MY03.
