    980 361 169 00 Socket, CGT Lug Nut - retail $229.28

    100 Time Units is one hour. So 1 TU is 0.6 minutes, or 36 seconds.

    You may need to remove the mufflers if you can't maneuver the headers out. The torque for the header nuts is 19 ft-lb for each of the six bolts (per side) and 22 ft-lb for the 3 on the cat side.

    Brake pad sensors

    Loren replied to Street's topic in 996 GT3

    The brake pad sensors are just wires. When they wear through they break the circuit. Most folks just use a tie-wrap to keep them out of the way with racing pads.

    Schematic says "double relay" - relay in position 6 and 7. That would be second row from the top, first 2 relays from the left. Both should have part number 996 615 111 00. I do not know what happens if you pull them. Let us know.
  7. Loren
    Correct those part numbers are for a 6 speed. (It only matters for the rear springs).
  8. Loren
    If your car had the US M030 then they are the same. If your car had the standard suspension then you will need new ones for the rears (996 333 105 03).

    Front shocks - 996.343.041.18 are for a MY02. Although the parts list says they can be replaced with 996 343 041 21 (for MY03). Front springs - 996.343.531.19 is correct. They should be marked Green and White. Rear shocks - 996.333.051.22 are for a MY02 (again). Although the parts list says they can be replaced with 996 343 051 26 (for MY03). Rear springs - 996.333.531.26 is correct. They should be marked Green and White. Stabilizer - 996.343.701.04 and 996.333.701.19 (replaces 996 333 701 17) are correct. 996.343.792.12 and 996.333.792.25 are new stabilizer mounts since your new bars are likely larger in diameter. Bump stops and compensation plates can be reused as they are the same. The kits vary so I've seen some with and some without. So the only thing I see in question is the shocks. I do not know the difference between the MY02 and MY03 shocks. Perhaps it is just the manufacturer since the parts list says you can use the newer ones on an older car.

    986-100-922-FX - Replacement Engine MY01 (M481 - 5 speed) M96.22 162 KW/ 220 PS Retail $7295.17 (I think that is the exchange price)
  11. Loren
    It just slides down and off in my car (maybe mine has been off too many times and is looser now :lol: )
  12. Loren
    There is an excellent writeup on PSM and how much slip it allows here. As the article says if you turn it off it will allow even more slip before intervening.
  13. Loren
    I don't think so. I've only seen them re-calibrate the steering angle sensor (after alignment) and test the other sensors to see if they are in range. Since none of the 4WD cars are allowed in professional (American Le Mans Series) racing I doubt Porsche MotorSport has anything either. Maybe the off-road and rally guys have something but I have never heard of it.
  14. Loren
    The rotors are just held on with two phillips head screws. You might have to tap the rotors a little with a rubber hammer. If the screws are rusted or corroded on then just use a small amount of penetrating oil - be sure an keep the oil off anything else.
  15. Loren
    Do you mean the defroster trim? If so, look here BTW... the clips will likely break when you remove the pieces.
  16. Loren
    IMHO... if there is oil on it - yes.
  17. Loren
    1. Look here 2. No, there are 3 pieces on the pre MY02 cars. The side pieces come off if you pry them with a dull tool. 3. see item 1 and this thread.

    P1128 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold This means that the oxygen sensor on that bank of the engine has sensed that the mixture is so lean that is can not correct for it (rich threshold reached). Common causes are: - Intake air system leaking - Fuel pressure too low - Volume supply of fuel pump too low - Fuel injectors fouled I would start looking for loose or damaged hoses or other intake leaks.

    I do not know everything about the early options and TC was only around for the C2 in MY99. Traction Control (TC) is a combination of anti-slip control (ASR) and Automatic Brake Differential (ABD). TC prevents spinning of the drive wheels when moving off and accelerating. It does this through a series of sensors (also used by the ABS system) and controlling individual wheel braking. By doing so driving stability and traction are improved over the entire speed range. PSM includes the functions: ABS, Traction Control (TC), ABD, MSR (engine drag torque control). ABD is part of TC and to my knowledge was not sold separately - together they formed the early version of PSM. The official name (in the Porsche parts list) for option 224 is "Automatic Limited Slip Differential". There are no parts in the parts list that identify with a M 224 label - so what is it? ABD? maybe? Technically the option 220 "Locking Differential 40%" is also "automatic" since the multiple-disc limited-slip differential causes locking when one wheel begins to slip. This is the mechanical LSD we all know. I can not find an option 234 listed anywhere.

    I sent you a PM.
  21. Loren
    Are you sure the the bumper curve will fit the lights and fenders? The MY01 and older cars had different headlights and front fenders.
  22. Loren
    Mike good to hear from you again! Sorry, but you will need a PST2 or PIWIS tester or Bosch 500, 650 etc. type tester to reset the airbag light. It would be nice if some of the lower end scan tools would do this - but they don't. Perhaps they have legal concerns? Don't be such a stranger eh...

    I have not seen a Sat Radio TSB yet. Above I was speaking of the PCM2.1 install. :lol: The PCM2 retrofit instructions came out almost a year after the kit did - even the dealers had to guess how to install them.
  24. Loren
    chile96 - yes, it looks like you need 996 622 705 00. You will need the correct trim pieces for around the PCM unit. Are you planning on doing this yourself?
  25. Loren
    Well you can email to me if you want. Usually the US (PCNA) TSBs are the same or very close to the RoW TSBs. The (US) TSB we have is dated 25-May-04 and is 7 pages long. CoreyNJ used it to do his install that is documented in a DIY here.
