    Unless you can find a used one on eBay or at a salvage yard you are looking at: 996 653 101 03 EFR CLIMATE CONTROL UNIT $617.14 (retail Dec 2004)

    986 605 115 01 Throttle Body $332.85 (retail as of Dec 2004)

    If so, the information has not yet hit http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/ or http://www.consumerreports.org/main/search/recalls.jsp

    Looks like it is Basalt Black Metallic (unless it is marked wrong)...

    2.5, 2.7, or 3.2 liter?
  9. Loren
    Do mean the INSIDE mirror? or the OUTSIDE mirrors? (Porsche sells both)

    For MY99 to MY01 you will need: Item 1 - 986 552 113 02 A10 Carpet Lining (black) Item 2 - 999 507 533 02 Clamps (2 or 4 I think) Item 3 - 986 552 513 02 A10 Left Carpet Cover (black) Item 3 - 986 552 514 02 A10 Right Carpet Cover (black) Item 5 - 986 552 241 02 A03 Cover (black plastic) or Item 5 - 986 552 127 00 A11 Cover in Leather (black)

    They are not factory (or optional) wheels for the 996 series. I do not know the brand.
  12. Loren
    I think your car is a 993 (not a 996) and I think the problem you describe is fairly common on 993's. Here is a copy of post from the PCA website where a person fixed this problem without spending a lot of money.

    Loren, do you know how much porsche charges for the mirrors? I'd imagine its quite a bit since their markup on CF is rediculous. The "retail" prices I have (as of Dec 2004) are: 996 731 619 30 Left Door Mirror (Carbon) $966.24 996 731 620 30 Right Door Mirror (Carbon) $966.24 It pays to shop around - try Sunset Imports (link at top of the page). They sell at dealer cost plus 15% handling and shipping cost -- AND -- no sales tax.

    The click is normal. This is the microswitch on the clutch pedal that keeps you from accidentally starting the car with the car in gear.
  15. Loren
    Have alook at this thread
  16. Loren
    Do you mean like this?
  17. Loren
    We will need a photo and/or the part number on the wheel to tell you.

    Here are some instructions for the OBC stalk hack which includes the steering wheel removal and replacement. Good photos of each step. I think Dan at D2 Performance did this step by step. OBC Stalk/Steering Wheel Instructions

    1 quart every 1000 miles is considered "normal" by Porsche. If you are using more than that I would start looking for leaks.
  20. Loren
    Relay position 8 on the DME relay panel. Fuse is a 40A fuse on the same panel. The DME panel is under a metal plate that you get to behind the rear seats.

    Thew PST2 can only load existing programs (to my knowledge). To make this kind of change you would need to re-program the chip - something that a few Porsche tuner shops can do.
  22. Loren
    As far as I know the only way to not get the CEL after removing this would be to reprogram the DME.

    These bolts are microencapsulated. That is, the bolts have a special sealer on the threads and once they are tightened the sealer activates and seals for leaks. If the bolts are removed then the sealer is destroyed and they must be replaced. Just get the torque setting right (see the TSB because they are different depending on location) and they should be fine. Availability is likely a result of how many RMS replacements they are doing :lol:

    The O2 sensors are just that - sensors. They are likely not the problem but the problem reporting mechanism. P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold P1125 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Lean Threshold This would mean that the fuel/air mixture is so rich that sensing is up to it's lean threshold and can not lean the mixture enough. My list of probable causes are: fuel pressure too high; fuels injector(s) leaking; EVAP canister purge valve open. Could be the charcoal canister (which should be covered under emissions warranty) or fuel pressure too high because of dirt stuck in one of the valves or a bad fuel pressure regulator vacuum connection. In the end all of these may be covered by your emissions warranty (unless it was caused by a dirty fuel filter/fuel).

    Yes - except they are Red
