    Down below and behind the radio/storage shelfs is phone prep connector with both switched and unswitched 12 volts. +12 volts unswitched (red/green) +12 volts switched (green/black) Ground (brown wire) Telephone Mute Signal (yellow/black wire)

    You will need the Becker keys for the radio removal the rest either unsnaps or unscrews once the trim frame is snapped off. (photos courtesy of Tom Morris)

    See my post here. The brackets stay on the mufflers. Just remove the the three 13 mm nuts and the cat sleeve and it will rotate out.

    Hmm... it maybe more than a wiring problem. The C4 has a different sending unit to go with the "saddle bag" tank the fits over the front axle. So I suspect the calibration is much different. Also, is your engine egas or not? All C4's were egas (regardless of year) so I suspect that the cluster for a C4 is expecting some different DME signals. I'll send you a PM.

    Bleeding the clutch

    Loren replied to GreigM's topic in 996 GT3

    If you are using the same type brake fluid then I disagree. In a perfect world there would be a way to remove all the dirty oil from your engine too - but you can't without flushing. If you are changing the type of brake fluid from the original ethylene glycol type (which Porsche recommends) to say a silicone brake fluid then - yes, all traces of the non compatible type should be flushed /removed. IMHO if you change your brake fluid regularly you are doing the same as what you do with an oil change and making the concentration 99.9% new product. With flushing you might get to 99.99%.

    Well it could be just a bad connection or a pinched wire. They should use a meter on the wires and actuator first. I have to agree that if it were the actuator the car would run like crap. Really sounds like an intermittent connection to me.
  10. Loren
    Did they not scan for the proper P-Code? A fault 178 could be either a P1524 or a P1539. P1524 -- No triggering of the actuator, active position nevertheless. Potential causes: Short to ground or Actuator faulty. P1539 -- Actuator triggered, no active position. Potential causes: Open circuit in triggering wire, or Open circuit in B+ supply, or Actuator faulty. Lot's of difference between an open and a short... looks like a bad connection.

    Have a look at this thread.

    You want the 07 logo. 996-559-237-07-4PU

    Coolant capacity is listed in the back of your owners manual by model and transmission type. For instance a manual transmission is 18 liters and a Tiptronic is 19 liters. Porsche and good independent shops need to remove several plugs and a couple hoses to completely drain the old coolant. When adding the new coolant the only way to do it without introducing air into the lines is to draw the coolant in by vacuum. Good shops have this setup. If it is not done that way you will likely have air problems for several weeks and perhaps even overheat the engine. You may want to just take it to a shop that has the proper vacuum setup.

    No, I don't know if they are on a TT or not. If they are there they would likely be in the same place.

    Here is all the service manual says: There is a also a note to be careful and not damage the trim. ;)
  16. Loren
    Did you look under the passenger side carpet to see if there are mounting holes like the GT3 has for a bracket? On a GT3 they are under there are two plastic caps that get removed and the bracket attached next to the console on the passenger side.

    Well, I wouldn't say for sure it is the pump... yet - I guess a leaking line might also cause a syphon effect. I would pull the left front wheel off, remove the wheel liner and have a look at the tank and pumps (your car with headlight washers has two). You should have the big tank (the cars with headlight washers and windshield washers get a 7 liter tank while the windshield washer only cars get a 3 liter tank). I would look for leaks - tanks, pumps and hoses have all been know to leak. Let me know what part has failed and I will look up the number and retail price for you.

    "Carrera" model logo up to model year 2001 1. Find the middle of the lid. 2. Position the Carrera logo with the dimensions A and B = 129.6 mm and C = 35 ±1 mm on the rear lid and affix.
  19. Loren
    Nice car! Why not put your pics in the Garage here? ;) ;)
  20. Loren
    I can post it for you. I will need exact model and rear deck style (i.e. standard spoiler or GT3 or Targa, etc.). They are all slightly different.
  21. Loren
    Did you look here? The Porsche connector diagrams are there.
  22. Loren
    It depends on how you drive your car... If you are not getting the car to full operating temperature then it can be caused by normal condensation. The engine is not hot enough to "cook off" the moisture. If your car is only driven for short trips where you don't get it heated up then I would recommend changing the oil more often to get rid of the moisture. If you had a head gasket problem you would see the coolant level go down, water in the oil and likely a lot of smoke out the exhaust.

    You need the key, fob, and code programmed for your car. The key/fob runs about $150 and most dealers also charge for the programming. For legal reasons only a dealer can program a key.

    Harry, Just come to the next Work on Cars day I (or Jeff) will help you out.
  25. Loren
    I just bend a (large) paper clip and hook it inside. It will come right off with a good pull.
