    Sounds like a motor or connection problem. What year is your car?
  2. Loren
    They will fit fine and reduce understeer a little (since the fronts are 8" wide).
  3. 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.
  6. Loren
    Try the link at the top of the page (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)
  7. 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
  9. Loren
    Yes, the part number above is part of the factory Aerokit. Try MA Shaw.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.

    955 426 069 00 RLT Sand Beige
  14. Loren
    Is the immobilizer warning light on (key position 1 or 2) ?
  15. Loren
    Yes, except for the "open" zone. ;)
  16. 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.
  17. Loren
    You can get a cable here. He also has some good references for books on OBD II.

    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.
  19. Loren
    Try our neat search function... That is discussed here and here and likely several other places too. :D
  20. 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.
  21. Loren
    I would buy the whole piece that includes the connector. Have the dealer check as I think sometimes they sell this as all one part (under the first number). Then all you do is unplug the old one and plug the new one in. Or you may need to buy both and have all new parts. 996 602 101 01 Ignition Coil ($36.73 as of Nov 2003) 996 602 103 01 Socket Extension ($11.11 as of Nov 2003)
  22. Loren
    Yes, it is the same.
  23. Loren
    Should fit fine.
  24. Loren
    TT wheels will not fit a narrow body car because of the offset. Late model GT3 wheels (same width) will fit a narrow body car (brcause they have the correct offset). Now with that said - putting wider wheels on the car without changing the front wheel width also will give you quite a bit more understeer - in a car that already has quite a bit. If you are considering 11' rear wheels then consider at least an 8" front and better yet an 8.5" wheel with a 235 or 245 width tire (the 245s may rub a little in tight turns). The car will handle much more predictably (IMHO).
  25. Loren
    I suggest that you solve one problem at a time. The horn beep when you lock your car means that you have an alarm zone open. Most common causes for this are a bad or broken microswitch in the front trunk or a bad or misaligned microswitch in the center console.
