  1. I assure you there is plenty I don't know...
  2. LOL... I have gotten phone calls from the last two owners of my 1976 911S. Both were polite but I have no idea how they tracked me down....
  3. Porsche does not recommend X74 for any pre MY02 car. In MY02 they stiffened some chassis mounting points and X74 can be used on those "stiffened" cars.
  4. I have all the US MY03 order guides. Which one's do you need?
  5. The part number above is for a PCM1 early version. It was replaced by 996 642 905 04 EFR -- still PCM1.
  6. Have a look at TSB 2/00 9112 TrafficPro CD Radio & Navigation (dated 2-25-2002).
  7. I think I may still have mine... although the relay has been opened for pictures. Let me know if you are interested and I'll try to find it. (ps. If you validate your email change (by clicking on the link in the email) and it does not return you to the Contributing Members group - please let me know so I can fix it.)
  8. 000 044 500 38 is the RoW 20 mm lower X73 kit for C4S.
  9. I would try it without removing the ball joint first. Remove the swaybar first to relieve the pressure. If you can get the wheel hub down enough to get the old strut out (and the new strut in) then you won't need it. If you end up needing it then just buy or rent a ball joint tool (that fits Porsche).
  10. No, both are water cooled. The Boxster engine is turned 180 degrees from the Carrera and is fitted into a smaller/flatter space.
  11. Berny, What models? 986/987 Boxster, 996/997 Carrera, GT2, GT3, TT and Cayenne would be nice... but if you want to do all Porsche models that will be a BIG project.
  12. If someone has the codes from a Porsche OBD II manual (DME 7.8 version) I'll be happy to post them here. Most of the existing Porsche codes are the same and DME 7.8 just has more. What code are you getting?
  13. Yes, same gear oil. I have two documents - one says .9 liters to refill and another says 1.5 liters. Please let me know which is right so I can post the right numbers. Thanks!
  14. Even though they both start with 996 101 901 xx ... the Carrera 3.4 is an 01 and the Boxster S is an 02. I do not know the differences. :welcome: to RennTech.org
  15. Did you look at the manual transmission DIY here? I guess we could add it there? The front differential is another .9 liters. 1. Remove front underside panels. 2. Place oil collection pan under the front wheel drive. 3. Unscrew oil filler screw A. 4. Unscrew oil filler screw B and drain transmission oil. Refill and torque both screws to 21 ftlbs. (28 Nm)
  16. Engine Numbers ...and before you ask ;) Transmission Numbers
  17. Plugs 1 and 4 are the tough ones since the exhaust is partly in the way. Those two will taken as long to remove as the other four put together. The right tools are essential to removing the spark plugs. I use a ball-socket hex wrench (or do you say spanner?) for the coils. The plugs will need a small 3/8 inch drive socket wrench, a 4 inch "wobbler" extension and of course a deep spark plug socket. For plugs 1 and 4 you might find it easier to loose the spark plug then remove the wrench and wobbler extension and then use the extension (or a shorter one) to pull the plug and the plug socket out. Yes, the coils are just that. Did you notice that most modern auto designs no longer have one large ignition coil? The coil packets now do this individually. So, if you have a cracked coil - by all means replace it.
  18. See if you can get the part numbers on the invoice or worse case (it takes about 30 seconds) remove one. Sounds like halogens.
