    squeaky clutch pedal

    Loren replied to carl's topic in 996 GT3

    Porsche actually uses 000 043 203 37 Optimol, Optitemp LG 2 grease. Put it on the bushings at the pedals (clutch and brake) pivot rod.
  3. Loren
    Yesh, sometimes those stickers are very hard to read.

    226 does not come up on the list - how about 236 - 18" tires? 246 also does not come up - perhaps 249? Tiptronic Transmission? 665 - PCM2 basic module (no phone) with radio 09991 - Exclusive Program likely means that one or more items on the car came from the Exclusive list (one or more codes starting with "X").

    Also try Wheel Enhancement

    Folks feel free to add vendors and review vendors in the new Reviews section!

    Question 1- headlight washers... If it is only leaking from one side then it is likely the nozzle on that side. I would first test to see that both nozzles actually work as the left one might be plugged. If both nozzles leak (and/or the windshield ones are leaking too) then it is likely a pump problem. Question 2 - If your car is a MY01 Carrera then Porsche recommends replacing the plugs at 45,000 miles. The maintenance checklists here (at the top of the page) are from the Porsche Carrera Service Manual - latest supplement (late 2004).

    Hmm... My MY99 came with two key fob keys and one valet key. At this point you may need to buy a new sender anyway.

    Loren, Got any information on the scale levelling stands used in this pic? Seems to be exactly what i am looking for! Thanks and sorry for the threadjack... The scales come with every Cup Car... :lol: :lol: :lol: Seriously, try Longacre Racing
  10. Loren
    Yes, both are effective the same shifter. Yes, they are both a little stiffer when cold (below 40 degrees F). Harry, how often does it get cold in Foster City? Once or twice a year? ;) ;)
  11. Loren
    If you have done it before less than 1 hour. Here are the latest instructions from B&M... B_M_Short_Shifter_Install.pdf

    The clutches on all Boxster and Carrera's is hydraulic and therefore not adjustable. There is a small amount of adjustment used to match pedal height in the clutch master cylinder connecting rod - at most 1/4 inch at the pedal. I would bleed the system for air - and look for small leaks.
  13. Loren
    I use Gumout - but basically they are all a laquer thinner base - so keep it away from the paint. All Carrera's EXCEPT the MY99 C2 are egas.
  14. Loren
    Unlike the older non egas throttle bodies there is no idle air bypass valve. On the older cars the solenoid controlled valve let air in through a passage the bypassed the butterfly. On egas cars I think it is all controlled by minuet movement of the butterfly. So, it it would not surprise me if it were open a fraction. Yes, you can push on the butterfly valve and open it almost horizontal. That is how we cleaned this one - a little carb cleaner and a lint free rag while holding the butterfly open.
  15. Loren
    Well, MY99 was not in the WSA so it could be a bad key fob. Did you try the spare?
  16. Loren
    I assume you mean at idle... if so pretty much yes. If it is open you can hardly see it. Here is a pic (pre-cleaning) of one we took out of a Boxster (rough idle problem). It is basically the same egas unit your car has. BTW... once it was cleaned up the car ran fine. Jeff's pic - my hand
  17. Loren
    Like this? 1 - Compressor 2 - Condenser 3 - Fluid reservoir 4 - Expansion valve 5 - Evaporator
  18. Loren
    What year? There is a TSB for a voluntary Workshop Service Action (W317 - Replace Key Remote Control) on specific VIN number cars. Mostly MY03 as I recall.
  19. Loren
    Kind of hard to tell from that angle. Could be cam cover or could be a spark plug tube (seal). Pull the spark plug heat shield off and see if it is coming from a specific cylinder or the top of the cam cover.
  20. Loren
    The alarm siren is used on RoW cars only starting in MY04. It is not present on US/Canadian cars.
  21. Loren
    Dell - it looks great! How about a straight on shot to compare it with a "normal" GT3 spoiler lip? Paste it next to this...
  22. Loren
    I don't know why it would. In the US there are laws that prevent companies from forcing their own high priced maintenance/replacement parts or then voiding warranties. Have a look at this article: Warranty Denied?
  23. Loren
    Did you adjust the clamping screws to 8 mm? Did I send you the assembly instructions? If, not I can...
  24. Loren
    Traction control is all in the DME and ABS systems so if you don't change those it should not be affected.
  25. Loren
    Have a look at this thread. Then ask the folks that have already done it.
