    Porsche uses (999 917 557 00) Krytox lubricant on the main bow to stop squeaks. There are some other aftermarket products that do the same. Apply it thinly to the rubber spacer between the main box and the roof frame (top half open).

    I stand corrected on this. The MY03 schematics now include a schematic for the PSE. If anyone needs this just drop me a PM.

    There were a number of cooling related problems on early MY99 cars that should have already been taken care of. They include: - a new tank design for both leaks and random coolant light flashing - a new coolant tank cap (leaks) - new hose clamps for some that leaked If it is any of these problems then a "good" dealer would work with PCNA to try and get you repaired under warranty or at least with a reduced cost. Worst case most of these things are relatively easy to fix for the DIY'er. Search the DIY section for tank replacement instructions if you need to do this. Good Luck! :thumbup:

    Okay, perhaps this will help (for MY03 and I suspect newer)... or download a PDF image here

    Most of the after market air intake mods seek to let the engine "breath" better. That is, they try to increase the amount of air the engine can take in. So, to some degree the it is a low restriction air filter. The stock system has a baffle in the air filter housing that reduces noise and air flow somewhat and the filter is intended to keep out as much dirt as possible. So this system seeks to allow more air and less "draw" restriction. As far as performance I doubt there is more than 1-2 hp from a mod like this... but it does have a good intake sound ;) CEL is Check Engine Light also sometimes referred to as MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). As I said, the vendor said "most" folks didn't have a problem. Frankly, I never understood that because it is basically a tube and different filter. My best guess (on what happened with it on my car) is that perhaps the MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) was not aligned properly on the tube portion (misaligned weld?) and was reading incorrect air volume readings. Finally, the other thing that concerned me about this product is that it likely draws more warm or hot (engine) air than the stock housing. For my 2 cents -- I think a better solution is one like Fabspeed came up with that removes the stock baffle and adds a low restriction filter all while using the stock housing to draw in cool outside air. end of :soapbox:

    I had one of these from EVO in Arizona. I sent it back... it sounded really good but created a flat spot between 4000 and 5000 RPM. We tried several things but the flat spot (and CEL) problems never went away. The vendor claimed that many folks had these and they were fine... not in my case though. YMMV

    Porsche uses only Beru or Bosh plugs for all Carrera models. The part number is: 999 170 207 91 The plug/heat range code is: 14FGR 6QU

    I see a need for a DIY page... :rolleyes: I'll get right on that. Done. See my DIY pages.

    You need to break the bolts free as they are painted on. I wrapped the wrench with a couple towels and while pressing hard got it to snap free. Once you get it broken loose the rest is easy.

    Actually, the B&M Short Shifter instructions are very good for this. You can download them here

    Jean-Marc is correct the seatbelt mechanism was changed in MY02. So, it's 98-01 or 02 on. Also, Coupe and Cab belts are different lengths so make sure you get belts for your body type.
  13. Loren
    For a MY00 C4 Coupe - RoW M030 front springs should be 996 343 533 14 504 color coded lilac and silver.
  14. Loren
    Just make sure the key is NOT in the ignition at any time during the change over.
  15. Loren
    996 803 089 02 A28 That would be a black (plastic) 3 spoke air bag/cover. The parts list says MY01 on.
  16. Loren
    The PSE valves are open by default. Install the mufflers -- you are done! :D :D :D
  17. Loren
    No, only the ones that Porsche intended for the center console horseshoe. The batwing at the bottom generally does not have LH and RH switches. No, this switch is only available in one version. The primary location for this switch is the batwing. If you are removing just the horseshoe, yes. I think ToolPants already posted some pics of this. If you need to remove the vent there is a clip that needs to be depressed with a screwdriver.
  18. Loren
    Yes, Grey/Pink is correct for a MY01 Cab.

    Try sending Jay a PM or email... it's not too hard but you do need a plug for the hole. For the 3 center dash strips - Kevin documented his process here

    Interior rear side panels? If, so I can send you a PDF file.

    The Porsche Workshop Manual states it like this (bolded where they bolded): With that said... most folks don't. I am sure any car maker does this for liability reasons. Personally, I check them for any signs of wear and replace them if there is any.

    From the Service Manual... 1. Unclip roof joint strip Lift at both ends using a plastic spatula and unclip all the way along. 2. Pull off roof joint seal Pull the roof joint seal out of the groove of the roof joint strip. 3. Unclip roof joint clips On the outside of the roof joint clip and roof joint strip, insert a narrow screwdriver in the center and press the screwdriver outward until the roof joint clip disengages. 4. Unclip fold-out element Insert a screwdriver beneath both ends of the fold-out element, and lever out. 5. Detach spreader Insert a plastic spatula into the wedge piece of the spreader and push. Remove the spreader. 6. Remove interior trim parts Lift up the clothes hook bracket at the bottom with a plastic spatula and pull off. Pull away the A and C-pillar trim and remove. 7. Detach the roof liner Unclip the metal strut of the roof liner from the plastic clips. 8. Detach base plate of Roof Transport System. Unscrew hexagon socket head bushing a/f 8 (micro-encapsulated). Remove the base plate from the roof channel.

    It would help if we knew what parts you have now (and where) i.e.radio, Nav, etc.) and what positions you want them in. Thanks...
