    N Rating is a tire approval mark provided by Porsche when they have tested the tires to meet their specifications for handling, traction, and wear. Tire makers "N ratings" are only for the specific tire and model. When a tire maker changes a tire they must get it re-certified with Porsche - so an N2 (N3, N4, etc.) are certifications of newer tire by the same maker. For a MY99 Carrera Approved Summer Tires are: Front: 205/50 ZR 17 Rear: 255/40 ZR 17 Bridgestone Potenza S-02A N4 Directional Continental SportContact 2 N2 Specific side only Michelin Pilot Sport N2 Directional Pirelli PZero Rosso N3 Specific side only Approved Winter Tires are: Front: 205/50 R 17 89 V M+S Rear: 255/40 R 17 98 V XL M+S Pirelli Winter W240 Snowsport N1

    Looks like the two seals are about $50 each.

    My guess would be wiring to the radiator fan or the windshield washer hose or the main release cable (inside the shielded cable). Item 12 is the emergency release - item 11 is the normal release cable.
  8. Loren
    On all US cars it is on the passenger side (unless someone moved it). It should not be black it should be a braided steel cable with a small loop on the end.

    You don't say what year car you have but there is a TSB for for both front and rear windscreen seals on early cars. In some cases the rear seal was missing a foam rubber cord. In both cases the fix is to remove the windows and replace damaged and/or missing seals.

    Installing PCM2 requires wiring and adding an antenna to the spoiler. Have a look at TSB 4/04 9110 Porsche Communication Management 2 (PCM2) Installation Instructions (dated 3-26-2004).

    Hi Loren, I just found this thread since I just bought me a 99 carrera 4 last week :D :) and have the same problem. I'd appreciate if you could also send me details via email. Thanks, Thorsten You've got mail... Good Luck!

    Usually you need to pinch a tab (or two) or slide a latch to remove the connector.

    This should not be a problem. A third radiator adds only a couple extra liters of coolant and there is no fan so it only cools when the car is moving. It does add more surface cooling area - but remember these cars are water cooled and there is a thermostat that should not open until the engine needs cooling. At that point all the radiators and extra coolant kick in. Boxster S, and 996 X51 and GT3 all get the third radiator as standard.

    On a MY99 with PCM 1 I think the amp plugs into the radio not the PCM. The only wires that go to the PCM are the DSP (if you have that option). See below for the 6 wires.

    There are 3 TSBs on this problem on early 996's. Fixes include a new clutch spring assembly, a modification to the clutch pedal arm, and lubrication. A dealer/shop with copies of the TSBs should be able to tell which fixes have been performed and which ones still need to be done.

    For a MY02 (or 03): 996 100 970 15 Replacement engine X50, M480, M152 (it was $42,057.14 in Nov 2003)

    What year and transmission? (MY02,03, 04 and 6spd or Tip)
  18. Loren
    Might want to stay away from Road Atlanta - we don't need anymore flying Porsches... :lol: Flying_Porsche.mpg
  19. Loren
    Perhaps you are talking about the starter? Picture above is the (what I call tail) non-engine end of the transmision. Below is the whole transmission.
  20. Loren
    There is a chance that something has happened to the cable or shift linkage. Both should be inspected for proper operation. If the cables and linkage are in order then it is not likely good.

    Hmm... may be tough on a 996 depending on where you want to measure it at. If you look at the GT3 and GT3 Cup cars they take it off the oil return at the oil/water heat exchanger - but that is a different engine and heat exchanger than a normal 996. On a 996 that is where the water temp is taken. Likely the most accurate place to measure. Perhaps one of the racing shops has done this?
  22. Loren
    You mean like this
  23. Loren
    Sounds like the the backup light switch. The connector should come off - most Porsche connectors have a latch type mechanism. It does not have a gasket so if it is leaking (and not just loose) you'll need to replace the switch (996 606 133 00).

    look here

    Congrats and welcome to the board! :welcome: You will want to take care of your backfires/popping ASAP. A forceful backfire is known to blow the (plastic) air box (I speak from experience). Once again welcome!
