  1. Looks like about 1 mm above normal :lol: Nothing to worry about Dell - you may need a third radiator...
  2. TSB 3/03 3408 Short Shift Kit Installation Instructions. As a contributing member it is available to you in the TSB section. here
  3. For P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold and P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold. These codes mean that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation (and code triggering). Also, check exhaust system for leaks. The most common cause is not MAF but an intake air system leak. In a few cases a bad MAF has triggered this but most bad MAF's cause an MAF code like P101, P102, or P103.
  4. 996 110 989 71 Left cooler 996 110 990 71 Right cooler $510.66 each (as of Nov 2003) The only other part you might need are the GT 2 brackets 996 504 353 91 Left Bracket 996 504 354 91 Right Bracket $71.83 each (as of Nov 2003)
  5. :welcome: and thank you for your donation! The torque for the seat screws is 65 Nm (48 ftlb.). They should not need Loctite and should not need to be replaced unless they are damaged. Most important in seat removal: Do not have the key in the ignition (better yet disconnect the battery). If the key is in the ignition when you disconnect the air bag wiring harness then you will get an air bag failure light. You can only turn the light off with a dealers PST2.
  6. Wait... wait... a video... maybe ToolPants just found a good reason to go to Las Vegas ;) ;)
  7. Have a look at my 3rd Radiator DIY. Link at the top of the page "DIY Section".
  8. You can either attach a file using the Browse button at the bottom of the posting page. Regular members are limited to 120k size per post. Or use the IMG button to link to an image offsite (size is not limited).
  9. I just got the July TSBs... about 3/4 inch stack of paper. I went through them quickly and I don't see one for Tiptronic control boxes yet. The parts list shows about 8 different part numbers :lol: PM me your VIN and options and I'll see if I can find something that matches.
  10. 1. Whatever you feel comfortable with. For bleeding it is nice to go from caliper to caliper without stopping to remove a wheel. 2. No. Anti-seize is a high temperature grease that prevents bolts and nuts from rusting or corroding tight. Loctite is a thread sealer/locker (so they don't vibrate free). Almost opposite in purposes.
  11. Go to Loren's DIY pages and the 3rd Radiator install page (links at top of page). There you will see how to remove the front bumper and the ducting in front of the horns.
  12. The headlight removal and bulb replacement is in your owners manual. If you don't have a copy, you can download one here from the Porsche Manuals link at the top of the page.
  13. I think Gary (Orient Red) said careful use of a clay bar with LOTS of lubricant would work well. The lubricant is something like Meguiars #34 Final Inspection. Follow with a good coat of wax or Regex
  14. No pads or sensors. Just swap from the old ones to the new ones.
  15. There are two condensers. One in front of each radiator (in front of each wheel). I am sure they can get damaged by a stone. Better the condensor than an engine radiator ;) Once the A/C system has been open to the elements the dessicator/drier is normally replaced. I would shop around - the price seems very high and any good A/C shop could do the work (IMHO).
  16. Your calipers should come complete and ready for installing and bleeding. After swapping them it is just a matter of bleeding them. Have you done that before? Do you have a power bleeder (like the Motive) ?
  17. It is exactly the same as the C4S. Please use the search here as this has been discussed many times.
  18. Check with Sunset. I have one but it is a few months old - and I think the part number changes.
  19. Here is is the fault code diagnosis info from the OBD II manual: P1128 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold Fuel/air mixture is so lean that sensing has reached its rich threshold. If DTC P1128 or P1130 (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation. 1. Check exhaust system for leaks. 2. Check for air leaks in intake air system 3. Check fuel pressure. 4. Check volume supply of fuel pump. 5. Fuel injectors fouled. Actually, I would clear the code first (before trying anything further) and see if it reproduces.
  20. Just so folks realize this is NOT the Porsche PET program but an Adobe PDF file created from the current PET parts list. Very useful, but not as easy to search as the dealers PET program - and it will not show cross-references or updated/replaced parts. A very good buy for $9.52 - but always ask your dealer/supplier to check for a "newer" part number.
  21. There are currently no approved All Season tires for the C4S - only summer and winter tires. Porsche publishes lists (both Summer and Winter lists) of approved wheels and tires (and snow chains) in TSB format every year. The last one for C4S was Nov 2003. The C4S has it's own list since it uses the TT running gear (and wheels). Approved summer tires and winter tires are different sizes as well are the approved wheels. You can either wait for this years list or PM me and I'll send you last years.
  22. 996 424 147 00 About $16.07 (as of Nov 2003)
  23. The scan tools software I mentioned can reset DME codes. The airbag fault code is not a DME code. Few aftermarket scan tools can access or clear faults in other onboard systems - mainly because every manufacturer has different faults for different systems. ABS, PSM, Tiptronic, Airbag, Roll-over protection (Cabs), Alarm system, A/C and heating system, PCM, Instrument Cluster, and even Parking Assistant can generate Porsche only codes that can only be seen or cleared with a PST2.
