    You must be talking about the Protective Fleece For Rear Soft Window - 986 563 855 01 -- retail $22.52 (as of Oct 2005)

    If it's under warranty let the dealer decide to tow or drive the car for service. That way there will be no denial claims.

    Has your engine ever been replaced? There is a TSB (4/04 1001 dated 10-22-2004) warning that newer engines have the oil level sensor positioned lower in the crankcase. So if your engine was replaced and they failed to recalibrate the instrument cluster - you would get wrong readings. or There is also a TSB (8/02 9020 dated 12-13-2002) for for replacement clusters with a similar warning - that a newer engine will need to have the cluster recalibrated for the new oil level sensor position. or You could just have a bad oil level sensor. (Same thing just happened on my AMG CLK55 - danger oil warning and the dipstick said it was full - I replaced the oil sensor and all is fine). If you know someone with a PST2 (or PIWIS) - a bad sender can be caught with an instrument cluster error code 9122.

    2004 is Bi-Xenon and would require you to change the front fenders, bumper, and lights.

    It would be the one closest to the muffler. The terminology is that the sensor before the cat is closest to engine and measures the bad gases - and the sensor after the cat should be seeing cleaned up gases.

    I am not sure if RoW cars have phone prep. On US cars there is a connector behind the lower center console that is intended for phone hook up. It has 4 wires: +12 V switched, +12 V unswitched, ground, and Telephone mute.
  7. Loren
    US or RoW car? (please fill in Location in your My Controls -> Profile) Do you already have a factory or 3rd party phone in use?
  8. Loren
    Do you have a phone or PCM2 with a phone?

    I would use the same (stranded) gauge as what it already up there. Seems like a good workaround - but still puzzling :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I think there is an new IE bug with Acrobat. Seems after Microsoft's latest security update it won't let you view it in the browser. I normally use Firefox so I didn't notice it until now. It should work if you save it to disk first though.

    I would start with the body to engine ground strap (GP14).

    Covers all Carrera (996), GT3, TT / GT2 and Boxster (986) cars Here is the long explanation from the service manual on the flashing coolant light. "Four functions of the coolant warning light: 1. Engine coolant level too low -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) 2. Engine compartment temperature too high -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) (engine compartment blower might be faulty) 3. Engine coolant temperature too high -- light is lit; pointer on the right 4. Temperature sensor at water outlet faulty -- light flashes rapidly (1 Hz) ; pointer on the right Note: The temperature warning in point three is indicated if the conditions "engine coolant temperature too high" and "engine coolant level too low" are present simultaneously."

    Why do you think it is the coil? These cars are notorious for stuck cold start valves.
  21. Loren
    That would be very strange since the clutch is hydraulic. It should have bo relation with the rev limiter.
  22. Loren
    Yes. Can you post a pic or two of the drop links and the main bar bushings (mounts)? I still think your mechanic meant the main bar bushings.
  23. Loren
    :welcome: Very nice!
  24. Loren
    It would be best to find someone with a code reader and see what is going on. A bad temperature sensor could cause this (it thinks it is cold out so it gives the car too much gas) or it could be something else.
  25. Loren
    The only replaceable bushings are the ones on the big part of the bar. They are 996 343 792 09 Stabilizer mounting (RoW part). You will need 2. If the drop links are worn then you will have to replace the whole drop link on both sides.
