    I am sure there is lots of good information there. Just a note: since 2001 (which it says it covers 1999 to 2001) there have been at least 50 supplements with corrections, updates and additions to the service manual. I would say well over 1000 new pages. Still a good place to start if you need a manual.

    The latest RMS TSB is dated 07-24-2004. Superseded means it replaces earlier versions (at least three that I remember). That same TSB also instructs the shop to replace the bolts with self-sealing crankcase bolts. The reason is that some engines were returned to Porsche that did not have RMS problem but leaking engine bolts (near the flywheel).
  3. Loren
    Did the dealer activate it with their PST2 or PIWIS system?
  4. Loren
    Well, if it were my car I'd use the GT3 spacers and bolts which are 5 mm longer. I think the last thing you want is a front tire held on by two threads.

    Does your hand brake light come on in the intrument cluster when you apply it? If not then the switch is not functioning and needs to be replaced. To replace the switch you will need to remove (at least partially) the center console.

    The schematics show all options for all countries so chances are the wiring harness in a US car does not have the wiring.

    Have a look at TSB 4/98 9212 Installing Rain Sensor
  8. Loren
    I don't know for sure. I would expect the sensor and wiring come with the windshield but not the relay. The windshield is a replacement part not an upgrade part.
  9. Loren
    If you are replacing a windshield then you can get it preinstalled. A rain sensor can be put on any windshield.
  10. Loren
    No, it does not come "built-in" but if your windshield had one before then they would put a new one in. Once they are attached I don't think they come off.
  11. Loren
    What do you want to do?
  12. Loren
    It is pretty easy and gets installed after the windshield. It basically sticks to the windshield (similar to the mirror). 996 612 981 00 - Retail price is $306.25 but I think I've seen the upgrade kit advertised for about $180. Try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) at the top of the page. The install TSB (9212) is in the TSB section.

    Sounds like you need a new dealer.... I sent you a PM.

    The Carrera/GT3 Maintenance Checklists section has been updated to current Porsche schedules. The list now includes a separate schedule for MY04 and newer cars. Enjoy... :D
  15. Loren
    Most likely the early small tube type for 3.4 liter cars only. The latter mufflers (-03 and -04) will work on any year.

    Technically they all should have it. I think Jeff's photo is from Stevens Creek Porsche.

    According to the TSB the new sensor started with the following VINs:
  19. Loren
    XKW - ? perhaps XKX - instrument surround in arctic silver XNY - trim strip in arctic silver
  20. Loren
    From the TSB on the subject...
  21. Loren
    You probably mean the screw (21) behind the interior air temp cover (20).
  22. Loren
    :oops: bad cut 'n paste - all fixed now.
  23. Loren
    Yes.
  24. Loren
    100 Time Units is one hour. So 1 TU is 0.6 minutes, or 36 seconds.
  25. Loren
    C02 - Equipped with catalytic converter 226 - ? maybe 236 18" tires ? 288 - Headlight washers 411 - 18" Carrera wheels 437 - Comfort Seat Left, electronically adjustable 438 - Comfort Seat Right, electronically adjustable 446 - Cocave hub cap with colored escutchenion 476 - PSM (Porsche Stability Management)
