  1. There were two options that year. Is this option M490 or M680?
  2. Pop out a few of the empty cassette holders and grab them firmly - then pull. It just pops out.
  3. TSB 2/97 6692 Installing Roof Transport System (RTS) (dated 12-22-2000) in the TSB section. The main part number is likely changed but the fundementals of the kit should be the same.
  4. They don't actually list one for the TT but they do for a 996 coupe. I don't know why they don't list one for the TT unless they think you never ski or surf ;)
  5. Not if it is a CDR23. From the TSB (0201 9120 Radio CDR23/PCM2: Security Code-Card dated 10-11-2002)...
  6. Porsche use BMC for racing but K&N is also good. Just be sure you DO NOT oil the new filter as excessive oil can get on the MAF sensor and ruin it. I like to take a new filter and wrap it in newspaper overnight to absorb any excess oil (before putting it in a car).
  7. Looks to me like you want to jumper pin 2 to pin 5 to turn the spoiler dash light off. And, you will need to use pin 8 for stoplight power and pin 5 for stop light ground.
  8. Well, it's going to be a bit tricky. You will need to remove the visor to an area where you can work on it - just pull to slide it off the mounting rod. Then remove the light cover (pic 1). The with two butter knives carefully pry the holding tray out (pic 2 - but hinges are on the other side of the tray). Now you will be able to see the plastic hinges (even on the leather visors). if you are lucky one of the spring clips is off or broken. If not the one of the plastic hinge pins may be broken (that was my case). If so, your choices are to buy a new (or used visor) or do what I did and use a dremel tool to carefully drill out the old plastic pin and replace it with a steel pin (made from a large paperclip and epoxied into place). Just use the epoxy sparingly as you need this move easily. Mine ended up as good as new and you don't see the pin so who would know - and it's likely stronger than the original ;)
  9. Did you have a look at TSB 1/00 7018 Noises In The Dashboard Area (dated 6-30-2000). It has 8 pages of noise fixes...
  10. He got you guys again... :lol: :lol: :lol: (Hint - Look closely at the pic) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
  11. It is done by VIN so I would just ask that they check for any outstanding service actions against your VIN. The memo was sent to service managers only.
  12. Pull forward the control button -25- of the light switch -31- as far as it will go -direction of the arrow- towards the front. Press in the locking device at the lower side using a small screwdriver and remove the control button towards the front. Undo the fastening screws -21- at the side, remove the side vent towards the front. Disconnect the plug connection -30- of the main light switch -31-. In order to disassemble the side vent, the covering cap -28-, the fastening nut -26- and the inner race -27- of the main light switch -31- can be removed. Remove light switch -31- from the side vent by turning it slightly in clockwise direction.
  13. Yes, there is a footnote on the Summer Tires and Wheels TSB (4/04 4440)- 18" wheel/tire options that states:
  14. Are you talking about the radio or the housing it goes in? To my knowledge you just slide out the old radio and slide in the new one (assuming you have the radio keys).
  15. Dealers now have a list "Cayenne Quality-Improvement Workshop Campaign Fall/Winter 2004" that indicated models/VINs that have potential problems that need to be corrected. There are 18 campaign checks on the list and VINs varying from just a few cars to over 6000 affected. Make sure your dealer verifies that all the campaign updates are done for your VIN.
  16. There is a TSB (6603 9610 Aero Kits dated 10-03-1996) that states:
  17. Oct. 14, 2005 Updated Almost all are now final and complete for both US and Canada. (Special thanks to Poursha)
  18. Nope, unless you have a Tiptronic or... unless you somehow managed to get a 4WD Boxster ;)
  19. Yes and no. If you use the stock harness the brake light will work but the spoiler light will be on all the time. You will either need an Aerokit harness or rewire the pins the existing harness. See the thread here.
  20. Doug, Sorry about your problems. Just make sure they put the same version on both sides. Porsche warns about this in the installation TSB.
  21. It is on the air box and you will need a special security Torx ( a Torx with a hole in the center. There is a Boxster discussion here - similar but don't use those part numbers.
  22. Well, you might try to find an independent shop with a PST2 so they can read out any ABS or TC faults (stuck valve?). Plus they can activate the ABS and TC pumps during bleeding with a PST2.
  23. 6 speed or Tip? Does the car have Traction Control or LSD?
