    Well, if you have a buddy you could swap relays with the would narrow it down.
  2. Loren
    Don't hold your breath on next week... I heard there are only two of the new style seals in the US right now.
  3. Loren
    No problem-- to the right of the fuse box and straight above the left foot dead pedal.
  4. Loren
    As I said... flasher relay

    Jim Pasha has written an outstanding article in the October 2005 issue of Excellence Magazine. He discusses the overall reliability of 996/986 engines and what makes these engines some of the best Porsche has ever produced. We have added the 26 high resolution pictures showing the 996 engine internals. Thank you to Jim and Excellence magazine for allowing us to reproduce this. You can download the PDF version of the article here: Reliability_of_996_Engines_Excellence_Magazine_October_2005.pdf Members can view all 26 pictures - most not in the article. (You will need a browser that has the Flash plugin to view these pics) here (edit - added pictures link Sept. 27, 2005 - Loren)

    CDC-3? Did you check the cables in the front trunk? They can come loose if pulled on. Three of them as I recall. Try a know working bulb. Sometimes bulbs look good - but aren't.

    Those would be mix of Boxster (986) Carrera II wheels (rear) and Carrera front 5 spoke wheels. The Carrera has never had 18 x 9" rear wheels.
  8. Loren
    Start by checking fuse D7. That would be fourth row down and seventh fuse from the left. Then the flasher relay in position 3.
  9. Loren
    Yes, and I posted that information on August 24, 2005 ;) New RMS Seal And Test Tool

    Rich told me that if you two folks contacted him he would re-ship. So try another email or call him. As an aside - I just got a small package that was shipped (from the East coast) on Sept 8th. It arrived yesterday Sept 21st. That took the USPS 14 days to deliver!
  11. Loren
    I think his car has a CDR-23...
  12. Loren
    Don't you have a Turbo? If so, it is a different engine that doesn't seem to have that problem. Carrera's and Boxster's with the RMS leak (or Intermediate Shaft leak) drip oil from where the engine bolts to the transmission. Right in the center where they meet.

    Have your tried the mute wire on the telephone prep plug? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=30114
  15. Loren
    Is it item 3 in this image?
  16. Loren
    Turn the AC off with the snowflake button then change the fan speed by pushing the + or - buttons. That should put the AC/Heater in manual mode. That works on my car.
  17. Loren
    I posted an idea similar to ukchris' not too long ago and have recently decided to buy a CDC-4 and harness to see if it would work. I knew the audio came through the optical feed; are you absolutely sure the changer data bus runs through the same? Perhaps someone has a photo/diagram of the changer harness to help solve this. :) http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=578

    No, see below: GT2 996 116 015 88 Clutch plate 996 116 027 51 Pressure plate TT X50 996 116 013 52 Clutch plate 996 116 027 51 Pressure plate TT 996 116 013 51 Clutch plate 996 116 027 51 Pressure plate A lighter flywheel will give you faster reving but will make low speed starts a little more difficult.

    Is the part in this diagram? If so, which item?

    Go to the Alarm Section -->Coding-->Version coding Then choose based on: Version 1 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on. Version 2 - The doors are automatically locked if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h. Version 3 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on. If the doors are opened while the engine is running, automatic re-locking takes place if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h. Version 4 - The doors are not locked automatically. Note: Automatically locked doors can be opened by pressing the central locking button (central locking switch) or by pulling on the door handle twice.

    Cayman S order guides for both US and Canada were updated today.
  22. Loren
    Some dealers write the bolt key number in your maintenance manual when the car is delivered. I have seen others write in on the options tag under the front hood. Don't worry if it is not there - all dealers have a kit (for service work) that has all the keys in it. So, worst case you take it to the dealer and they try keys until they find the right one - then you buy it.

    The Porsche install instructions are in the "Contributing Members only" section of the TSBs. Have a look at the "How to become a Contributing Member" announcment at the start of this forum for more information.
  24. Loren
    Yeah, if you do a search here they were posted quite a while ago. Here are a couple... Also, I have but have not posted GT3, GT3 RS, Forty fast years (911), Targa, and early and late C4's. I didn't see C4S but it just may be in a different place. MY02-on Carrera coupe up to model year 2001

    Perhaps you could supply more details on your failure?
