    I have the part numbers but no details. 997 613 225 00 A05 Garage Door Opener Switch (left hand drive) and 997 618 227 00 Control Unit Garage Door Opener and 997 618 257 00 Support Bracket for Garage Door Opener Control Unit

    There was an updated window motor that is described in TSB 1/99 6454 Modified Power Window Motor (dated 4-29-1999) that describes a similar problem. You can ask your dealer to check PCNA records (using your VIN) to see if your car has had or needs the TSB fix.

    Because these are all connected via MOST (optical bus) you don't really have a choice other than Porsche's CDC-4. Try Sunset Imports in Oregon for dealer cost pricing (see Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost link above). The is a kit and an optical waveguide that you will need to order: 000 044 900 72 CD changer CDC-4 set 996 622 708 00 Optical waveguide, 911 Turbo (996) Double check the waveguide with Sunset since you have PCM2. There is a TSB with install instructions. Let me know if you need that also.

    I only have PCNA (US/Canada) TSBs so I do not have the one you speak about. I do have the service manual description of what part changes were made for the 3.4 X51 kit. I also have the 3.6 X51 TSB if either of those would help.

    The gear change is operated by two cables that move a lever on the transmission. The only adjustment I am aware of is at the shifter. Porsche has a special tool that holds the shifter in a neutral position and the cables are adjusted with no slack at that point. Did anything happen that could affect the cables? If not, this is likely an internal transmission problem.
  6. Loren
    Sounds like a motor or connection problem. What year is your car?
  7. Loren
    They will fit fine and reduce understeer a little (since the fronts are 8" wide).
  8. Loren
    No it is not normal. Try re-teaching the window. 1. Press and hold button until the window is all the way up - then hold 10 seconds. 2. Do the same to bring the windows down - again hold for 10 seconds. 3. Test the the one-push open and close. If it still occurs note whether the window even or at an angle?

    Those would be the alarm system and central locking controls. The seat memory control box is attached at the front of the seat rails.

    The relay is in position 4 and is part number 996 615 117 00. I would check the switch too.
  11. Loren
    Try the link at the top of the page (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)
  12. Loren
    If it is installed/adjusted correctly no adjustment will be needed for years.

    We hoping to bring the maintenance kits back... Porsche is in the process of changing their complete pricing structure (for parts). I don't know if that is good or bad ;) Either way the good folks at Sunset Imports are working on it now :D
  14. Loren
    Yes, the part number above is part of the factory Aerokit. Try MA Shaw.
  15. Loren
    Some of the early MY99 cars had leaks from the oil tubes (o-rings) and/or valve cover gaskets. There was a part number change for the o-rings. Also, make sure the oil level is not too high as that will also cause high RPM smoking.
  16. Loren
    If you mean 996 505 986 01 G2X Aerokit (TT) Spoiler lip; primered; material: PUR- R RIM Then you can order (it is in the parts list). But, I do not know if it will fit a standard bumper.
  17. Loren
    If you don't want to pay for Porsche factory manuals (more than $2000) then try http://www.AllDataDIY.com. The first car is $24.95. Renewals and additional cars are $14.95 per year.

    Is the immobilizer warning light on (key position 1 or 2) ?
  20. Loren
    Yes, except for the "open" zone. ;)
  21. Loren
    If the horn beeps then you have an open zone. Most common causes are the center console not closed, a bad microswitch in the front trunk, a bad microswitch on the center console lid.
  22. Loren
    You can get a cable here. He also has some good references for books on OBD II.
  23. Loren
    If it does not shut well it is likely that your hinge is broken or bent. In that case you will need to have the hinge TSB performed. The TSB replaces the original plastic hinge with the current metal one. Some dealers will do the TSB for free and some will want to charge for it. You can check the microswitch when the hinge is replaced. If you want to do it yourself send me a PM and I'll send you the TSB. Tools you will need are a Torx drivers, a drill, and pop-rivet gun.
  24. Loren
    Try our neat search function... That is discussed here and here and likely several other places too. :D
  25. Loren
    There is a 9 page TSB (1/00 7018 Noises in the Dashboard) dealing with quieting dash rattles (it is available here to contributing members here). Send me a PM with your email address if you want it.
