  1. Once you have the instrument cluster out (you didn't say whether you are that far yet). The cluster itself is 3 pieces - front frame (glass and frames), display unit (needles and gauge faces) and electronics unit. You need to open the cluster by: 1. Pull off the buttons for the clock and trip mileage counter. 2. Remove the metal springs from the left and right mounting points. 3. Place the unit on a flat level surface preferably on a soft towel. 4. Unclip the center of the electronic unit at the bottom. Then hold the press the green guide rails outwards with a screwdriver to release the latch. Take the electronic unit upwards out of the display by carefully pulling alternate sides (evenly). 5. Undo the clips (on some newer version clusters) in the indicator light housing and carefully take the display unit out of the front frame 6. You should now be able to change the glass. Reverse the steps to re-assemble. Jeff, you are welcome to add anythnig here since you have taken quite a number of these apart. (not mine thank God) ;)
  2. C4S and TT share the same rear bumperettes. 996 505 425 01 Left Bumperette 996 505 426 01 Right Bumperette
  3. Here is a photo I took at a tech session. I recall one of guys told me that you do need to move the wheelwell liner back (as shown) but I don't think you need to remove the wheel (even though it's removed in this photo). Unless you have the 20" wheels I think you might have enough room to get these in and out. Let us know!
  4. First your numbers: 996 333 051 14 -- US M030 Rear Shock 996 343 041 17 -- US M030 Front Shock MY99 Cab -- 2 wheel drive -- 6 speed RoW Parts: Front 996 343 041 16 -- Shock 996 343 531 12 -- Coil Spring (color coded Yellow/White) 996 343 701 04 -- Stabilizer (swaybar) (same as US M030) Rear 996 333 051 13 -- Shock 996 333 531 12 -- Coil Spring (color coded Green/Red) from VIN -- >>991S6 41090 >>991S6 00548 >>991S6 40407 >>991S6 40432 or 996 333 531 40 -- Coil Spring (color coded Green/Red) from VIN --- 991S6 41091>> 991S6 00549>> 991S6 40408>> 991S6 40433>> 996 333 105 107 Additional Spring 996 333 701 17 -- Stabilizer (swaybar) (19.6 mm) (same as US M030)
  5. Yes, the coupe and cab are different (because of the weight). I'll look up the cab parts later today and post them here. There is an excellent article in Panorama about US Stock vs US M030 vs RoW M030 (coupe only!). Here is a link
  6. I already have GT3 TSBs before they have delivered any to the US! Remember some are instructions for installing options so they have to have the manual for the dealers (and training).
  7. Yes, the Boxster S calipers are the same size and specs as the 996 stock calipers only they are RED. Here are the part numbers: Fronts 996 351 425 11 996 351 426 11 Rears 996 352 421 13 996 352 422 13
  8. Installing the Third (center) Radiator (updated July 19, 2003)
  9. Don, You should have been notified that I sent you a private message on the board. So it should have said "1 new message" and I think a popup also notifies you of a message.
  10. You can download the Becker radio manuals in PDF format here .
  11. View this tutorial PSE (Porsche Sport Exhaust) Install Covers all Carrera, and GT3 cars Removal -- 1. You will need to lift the car high enough that you can safely get underneath (you do not need to remove the rear wheels on most cars but most folks find it easier with the rear wheels off). 2. Loosen the 2 bolts (each side) on the sleeve that connects to the cats and then slide it towards the cat. (You might want to spray these nuts with WD40 first so they will loosen easier -- just don't spray the O2 sensors). 3.

  12. Covers all Carrera, and GT3 cars Removal -- 1. You will need to lift the car high enough that you can safely get underneath (you do not need to remove the rear wheels on most cars but most folks find it easier with the rear wheels off). 2. Loosen the 2 bolts (each side) on the sleeve that connects to the cats and then slide it towards the cat. (You might want to spray these nuts with WD40 first so they will loosen easier -- just don't spray the O2 sensors). 3. Crawl under the car and remove the 3 bolts that hold the muffler mounting bracket and the muffler in place. These can be a bit of a reach and not much swing room for the wrench. 4. Rotate the muffler down and out from under the car. 5. Remove the tailpipe by loosening the clamp as you will need to use them on the new mufflers. Install -- 1. Attach the tailpipe(s) to the new muffler but do not tighten them yet. You will need to adjust everything later before you tighten them down. 2. Rotate the muffler up and on to the 3 bolts and lightly tighten the nuts. 3. Slide the sleeve off the cat and realign it on the muffler and cat. Again, don't tighten the nuts too tight yet. 4. Align the tailpipe so that there is about 20 mm distance from the top of bumper cover and equal distance and length all the way around. Then tighten down all of the nuts. The tailpipe 22 ftlb. (30 Nm ), cat sleeve 34 ftlb. (46 Nm), and the muffler bracket 17 ftlb. (23 Nm). 5. Repeat on the other side and you are done! (updated with torque values and images 26 Jan 2004)
  13. Covers all Carrera (996), GT3, TT / GT2 and Boxster (986) cars Here is the long explanation from the service manual on the flashing coolant light. "Four functions of the coolant warning light: 1. Engine coolant level too low -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) 2. Engine compartment temperature too high -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) (engine compartment blower might be faulty) 3. Engine coolant temperature too high -- light is lit; pointer on the right 4. Temperature sensor at water outlet faulty -- light flashes rapidly (1 Hz) ; pointer on the right Note: The temperature warning in point three is indicated if the conditions "engine coolant temperature too high" and "engine coolant level too low" are present simultaneously."
