    Have a look at the 996 DIY here as it is the same process for a Boxster. The Motive is a great little tool for the DIYer. It allows you to put brake fluid in the container and then put pressure in the container so that one person can bleed the brakes and clutch without the worry of getting air into the system.

    If I remember right it is an 8 mm allen bolt from the bottom. I think the later cars may have a cap on the bottom that needs to come out first.
  3. Loren
    Yes, the side panels just pull off. The batwing will come out but sometimes it helps to pry behind it with a butter knife (non sharp prying tool).
  4. Loren
    The owners manual is available online here. If you are looking for the service manual Porsche sells sections or a yearly subscription here

    According to PET - XNG is instrument surround in leather. I think Scouser's list is the one from Kindel and includes most of the old car codes - some of which were reused on newer cars.

    My advice (for what it's worth)... 1. Make sure that the tire installer has worked on Porsche's before. Some of these guys look at them and don't have a clue how to lift one. 2. Make sure that their tire mounting machine does not touch the rims. Like a Hunter TC 350 Tire Mounting Machine. 3. Make sure they have a high end Hunter GSP 9700 Road Force Measurement Wheel Balancer or better. 4. Find a good speed/alignment shop. A professional 4 wheel alignment should run about $160. These are usually the folks that do all the race cars in the area.

    The parts list only shows it for MY04 - option 220.
  8. Loren
    He took the clip off (or it wasn't there) that holds the reverse cable connector to the white plastic block. For MY04 a different cable and connector is used as the C4S has LSD. PET shows a special clip only for LSD cars.
  9. Loren
    Yes, for MY99 options 220 - Locking differential (40%), 222 - Traction Control and 224 - Automatic Locking Differential always went together. The LSD (option 220) was always sold with Traction Control the forerunner of PSM.

    This handy little tool is only $9700 to purchase... and of course you will need the monthly updates $1200/year. It plugs into the OBD II socket under dash. For certain functions it has test/measurement probes that are plugged in elsewhere. It can read all of the cars diagnostic systems (DME, instrument cluster, OBC, ABS, PSM, etc., etc.). I don't know for sure what PIWIS stands for yet - I'll try to find out. The older system was the PST2 which stood for Porsche System Tester 2.

    XTG - Inner sill finished in leather XTN - Mirror adjust in leather XU1 - perhaps XV1 - Defroster trim in leather

    US and Canada cars are the same - not RoW. So, your car is about 20 mm higher in the front and 10 mm higher in the rear than RoW cars
  13. Loren
    C36 - Canadian version 030 - Sport Supension XSC - Porsche crest embossed in seat headrests X54 - Stainless Steel Exahaust X70 - Door entry guards in stainless steel with logo X71 - Aluminum colored instrument dials X97 - Aluminium/leather shift knob X98 - Aluminium/leather parking brake handle 139 - Seat heating, left 220 - Locking differential (40%) 222 - Traction Control 224 - Automatic Locking Differential 236 - 18" Tires 340 - Seat heating, right 375 - Sport Seat, left 376 - Sport Seat, right 413 - Pressure-cast Light Alloy 18" 'Turbo Look' Wheels 424 - Automatic heating control 425 - Rear Window Wiper 446 - Concave hub cover with colored extrusion 490 - Sound System (w/amp) 859 - perhaps 659? - Onboard Computer 680 -Digital Sound package (DSP) 896 - perhaps 696? AM/FM Radio with CD 983 - Seat Covers in Leather, front 09991 - manufacture from the exclusive-programme

    On a 997 it can only be done with a PIWIS - and only dealers or high end independent shops have them.

    The "factory" GT3 Mk2 rear wheels are: 11 J x 18 with 63 mm offset. The 11 J x 18 offset 45 mm wheels are for C4S/TT widebody cars.
  16. Loren
    Should work if you take the wheel carriers and the brake components from a GT3 (mk1 or mk2). Only the GT3 RS gets a different wheel carrier.

    The radio will not show you the code but it will show you the serial number. From the serial number any dealer can give you the code (they may also want proof of ownership). You can get the serial number by turning on the radio. Then hold down the TP button for about 10 seconds. The radio will beep, then use the knob to scroll over and you'll see the serial number.

    000 044 700 26 is the Porsche short shifter. The housing is not included.
  20. Loren
    If you are going to switch brands then be sure that you flush all the old out first. The Porsche (ELF) organic antifreeze does not react well with some other traditional antifreezes - that is it turns the mixture into "jello". So, I think the keys here are antifreeze thats rated for alloy engines and don't mix types.
  21. Loren
    I think what is more important than rotor thickness is to inspect them for cracks. With cross-drilled rotors any crack 7 mm or more radiating from the edge of the rotor OR between the cross-drilled holes makes the rotor unsafe and not reusable.
  22. Loren
    I don't know the test spec - chances are you can't get a good reading without taking it out of the circuit. Porsche recommends (in the service manual) to cut the wire and then splice in the new one and cover with heat shrink tubing. You do not need to remove the bumper these are visible under the front fenders.
  23. Loren
    Sorry, the following is all the detail that is in the service manual...
  24. Loren
    For a MY2000 GT3 (RoW)? Here is the parts diagram - let me know if you need the parts list too.
  25. Loren
    This has happened to at least a couple of folks here. Check the spoiler connector for corrosion. Disconnect it and clean it with a good electronics cleaner then reconnect and give it a try.
