    Yes (as Tool Pants said), they are different. The CDC-3 uses: 993 645 130 00 and the CDC-4 uses: 996 645 113 00

    In most cases there is a poor connection in one of the seat belt buckles. Porsche issued a TSB on this several years ago. If you car has not had the TSB done then it likely should. Only a dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester can turn off an air bag light (and read the fault code that turned it on).

    Yes, even though the GT3 engine is a different design than the Carrera the spark plug change process and torques are all the same.

    996 505 986 91 is the Cup Car front spoiler lip. LVDell put one on his car. As I recall he had to drill some new mounting holes. Have a look here.

    We have added the DME 7.1.1 Cayenne P-Code listing to the OBD II P-Codes section. OBD II P-Codes

    I need to covert these and add them to the DIY just haven't gotten around to it yet. Edit - DIY is now updated with these pics. Many thanks to RennTech.org member scherb! (Images courtesy of scherb)

    First Question: IMHO - I would bleed my brakes after any serious track event. Mind you not replace all the brake fluid - just bleed for bubbles. Second Question: 1. Make sure that there is plenty of brake fluid in the Motive bleeder. 2. Keep the pressure on the bleeder at 15 to 20 psi - all the time. 3. For the catch tube, find a some clear plastic (aquarium) tubing that fits snug over the bleeder screw. 4. Only open the bleeder screw enough to see the flow start and close it immediately when you see clear brake fluid. In most cases the valve is only open a few seconds. 5. Check the pressure and (new) fluid level before moving on to the next wheel. 6. Don't forget to bleed the clutch slave cylinder as it shares the same fluid path. That's not 10 items but what I can think of right now...

    The listing I gave above is right out of the Porsche parts list. 996 505 555 01 comes in that kit not the GT3 front lip. I do not know what the 996 505 555 01 spoiler looks like but it must fit a MY02 or newer car.
  11. Loren
    DME = Digital Motor Electronics (as most germany car companies call it) or ECU (general public calls it) or ME-Motronic (as Bosch calls it). The computer control box that manages and regulates your engine.
  12. Loren
    Any OBD II scan tool that can readout all the P (powertrain) codes should work.

    It just says spoiler on the parts list and there is no diagram. It is not shown or listed anywhere else - perhaps it will work on a stanard front bumper? It isn't. 000 044 802 04 rear spoiler "CARRERA" comprising: - 996 505 555 01 spoiler - 996 512 903 00 rear spoiler G2X prime coated - 996 512 907 00 flange 2 - 996 631 980 00 brake light 1
  14. Loren
    and the fault codes are???
  15. Loren
    As I recall there are little tabs to push in on the sides of the radio. You don't need the keys to put the radio in - just push till it latches.
  16. Loren
    The standard front bumper on a MY02-MY05 Carrera does not have a spoiler lip - only the GT3 bumpers do. wing : 996 512 903 00 G2X -- is the rear "Carrera" wing you have lip : 996 505 986 02 G2X -- is the spoiler lip for the GT3/Aerokit front bumper
  17. Loren
    To be sure we are talking about the same kit and wing... could you post a pic of what you have?

    All US/Canadian cars get the same cats and DME - there is no difference in California cars and the rest of the US. For RoW cars it varies by country - some get different cats and some get different DMEs, and some get both. It would be best to check with the authorities in Switzerland to see what you need to do to be in compliance.
  20. Loren
    Inside your spare tire tool kit. Instructions are in your Owner's Manual.
  21. Loren
    Plug em back in (hope they or the cats aren't damaged) and then clear all the codes. Drive it and wait. With a little luck you won't get any codes. Time to find a new mechanic :rolleyes:
  22. Loren
    I suggest you ask them to put it on a lift and take a pic straight up from underneath. Every car I have ever bought (new and used) I demanded to see the underside before purchase. New cars can have dock damage, road test damage, etc. while used cars could have strut leaks, accident damage, oil leaks, etc., etc. If your friend doesn't know what to look for then have him pay someone that does - pics on a lift would be even better if it is a "long distance" buy. My 2 cents...
  23. Loren
    Not likely the valves - more likely a loose clamp or broken weld.
  24. Loren
    After the cats - so the ones on the tailpipe side of the cats. You will need a cat wrench or a 22 mm wrench. Do not get any oil (or any other substance) on the sensor. The sensor should come with high temp antiseize but again don't touch that and then the sensor.
  25. Loren
    Not usually. The headlight is fixed - the mounting base in the car is what is moved by the adjusters.
