    911 521 817 00 01C Control Button in Satin Black you may also need 311 881 247 Clamp (that holds it in place).

    I believe the 16 is a leather covered side vent with the vent itself in "Aluminum-Look" (image from Porsche UK site) Whereas the 17 is the whole thing in "Aluminum-Look"
  3. Loren
    Correct.

    996 613 155 10 A05 TT Spoiler Switch (Mat Black) Mat Black was used on all cars MY02 on.

    I don't like chemical strippers because some porus metals can absorb the chemical and make the new paint bubble and flake off. I think glass bead blasting is the safest way. To me it makes sense to rebuild the caliper (pistons, seals, etc.) after doing the bead blasting.

    Here is how I do it... Loosen the clamping bolt a lot. Then use a screwdriver to pry it over the edge of the exhaust tip. It will take some muscle. Worst case take the bolt all the way out.

    Most likely a loose sway bar or shock mount. There was a TSB for earlier cars about bad strut mount bearings but, I have see this on a couple of newer cars too.

    Or... perhaps one or more of the ignition coils on the plugs is not seated properly.

    Hmm... his hosting site must be down. Let me see if I have copies... if so I will redirect the pics.

    Switch-on conditions for engine compartment fan (this fan pulls air into the engine compartment) The engine compartment fan is switched on when the engine compartment temperature is > 80 degrees C OR the coolant temperature is > 102 degrees C. After-running of engine compartment fan If the ignition is switched off and the engine compartment temperature is more than 60 degrees C , the DME control module remains in readiness for another 20 minutes. During this time, the engine compartment temperature is retrieved every 10 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is > 85 degrees C , the engine compartment fan is switched on for 20 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is still > 85 degrees C after this time, the fan remains on for a further 30 seconds. Remove the wheel and caliper. Then remove the two screws that hold the rotor on. Remove the rotor. Installation is the reverse. The caliper bolts are 63 ft-lbs and the wheel bolts are 96 ft-lbs. Most likely the AC. But not normal. Could be the pressure is too high and the AC relief valve is venting.

    There are 3 item 8 antennas and 2 item 9 antennas for Drive & Entry systems per car (according to the parts list). Item 1 is the standard alarm/drive block. I would look at the wires coming out to find an antenna or to see if it uses the radio antenna. There is not a separate antenna listed in the parts list (that I can find).

    MY99 was the first US year for the 996 . It should not be a problem if it has had the service bulletin fixes. Any Porsche dealer can check (for free) using the cars VIN. Also, look on the door for the build date (not delivery - build). Late MY99 cars had most of the minor problems fixed at the factory. So, if your car is May or June 1999 then many service bulletin fixes have likely been done. I own a June build MY99 and I have had very few problems...

    RMS is dead center where the engine joins to the transmission. If it's blown oil all over the engine then it is pretty bad and you will likely need a new clutch too.

    Brake bleeding

    Loren replied to skl's topic in 996 GT3

    If you have access to a computer that can trigger the ABS valves then you will get a slightly better bleed job (IMHO). Normally the ABS valves only open when they need to. So, even a pressure bleeder will not get all the old fluid out - not a big deal though as we are only talking a few cc.

    Just got the PCM 2 Install Instructions TSB from Porsche. It is in the TSB viewing section for contributing members.
  16. Loren
    Items 8 and 9 are antennas for the Entry & Drive.
  17. Loren
    My quote above is retail from a US dealer. With a PCA discount or from the Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost link above you can likely get it cheaper.

    Front openings on a TT bumper are MUCH larger than a Carrera or GT3 bumper. Definitely can't be done on a Boxster or Carrera without removing the bumper -- except by skilled micro-surgeon - and they charge too much :lol:

    996 107 981 00 Protective Plate Price as of Nov 2003 was $110 (retail)
  20. Loren
    Yup, front bumper needs to come off to change the horn(s) - about a 30 minute job. Just to the left of the center radiator in this pic.
  21. Loren
    I would get jack stand with flat tops or buy the one that have pins for jack points. Occasionally, they are sold on e-Bay. Or perhaps some one else here knows where to buy them.
  22. Loren
    The wire is the radio antenna and box with the white label is the radio antenna booster (one of two). If you have the Entry & Drive option there is a TSB for some updates for problems. On the D&E option the door handles have some of the triggering problems.
  23. Loren
    Yes, center console in "sportsilver" for MY03 or newer.
  24. Loren
    George, Thanks - I have a lot folks (and manuals) around me with lots of help. P0102 is consistent with an open circuit or short to ground with the signal from the mass air flow sensor (MAF). 5525 is a Porsche only code that says it is getting inconsistent readings from the DME as to engine load. msindi is likely right that it is something your tuner has done in the chipping. A simple test would be to revert back to a standard DME and see if the faults stay gone.

    Checking Order Status?

    Loren replied to skl's topic in 996 GT3

    Yes, most dealers get a weekly print-out so they don't have to request a new one search for each one.
