    Well.... I drove Mike's (mds) GT3 a few days ago and I'll have to admit I am tempted. But... I am also tempted to buy a Cupcar... so chances are I'll wait until I feel strongly enough to pull the trigger on one or the other. :huh:

    Yes, just open the bleed valve on top of the coolant tank. You can drive around with it that way and it will help purge air out of the system. Just check the level every few days and add coolant/water until it stops going down. Then close the bleed valve.
  3. Loren
    Yes, that is very abnormal. It turns out that Cayenne suspension does some settling and needs to be re-aligned after about 120 miles. I would see your dealer and request a re-alignment to the new specs laid out in TSB 4495 (and a couple new tires!).

    Porsche recommends only: 999 917 547 00 Esso ATF LT 71141 – 20 liter container (an ATF change is only 3.5 liters) with this warning Draining, changing the filter and refilling, warming up and topping off are all required with an ATF change. I'll send you an email and you can see if this is something you want to tackle.

    I guess you are talking about the "snorkle" that brings in cool air to the air cleaner. There are two piece to this - the top most piece (sealing bellows) that seals against the engine deck lid (bonnet) and the longer plastic tube. The bellows can be ordered and the longer plastic tube is part of the lower air cleaner assembly and does not have a separate part number (you would need to by a whole new air cleaner assembly). If the crack is not too big I would not worry about it. JMHO

    Yes that one is for a creaking noise in the bell housing (behind you) and there is another one for creaking noises at the pedal. I'll send both.

    What year car? The MY02 and new is more complex because of design changes.
  8. Loren
    Since you say they are black then you must have a pre MY02 car. They changed the bumperettes and the mounting slightly in MY02 on. For MY01 and older the bumperettes bolt to two buffer reinforcements (14) that are supposed give (i.e. bend or break) before the bumper/chassis takes the blow. Removing the bumperettes is fairly easy (10 and 11) with an 8 mm long allen socket. However you may not be able to see enough of the buffer bars (14) to see if they are damaged without removing the bumper.

    IMHO that is a good price... providing the 3rd party (which I am pretty sure is not Porsche) is still in business for the full 4 years. A;so, rad the details and make sure more than just major failures are covered and what the deductable is.

    This the only one I see for oil leaks at the rear of the engine. TSB 11/99 1001 Oil Leaks/Engine Bolts (dated 2-9-2000)

    From the Porsche TSB on "Approved Oils"

    Wimp! ;)

    For the GT3/Aerokit Cup front bumper: 996 505 980 03 G2X (unpainted) The spoiler lip is: 996 505 986 00 (unpainted) and you will need 11 plastic rivets to attach the spoiler lip 999 507 427 40.

    We just did one for about $100 2 weekends ago.

    If you registered (joined the board) from November 19th through today the registration process did not record your Location. Please go to My Controls and then select Edit Profile info and update your Location. Please do not re-register as the problem has been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Basically, no. I sent you a PM explaining. No, not at initial release. Paper copies are current and once a year they release a book and/or CD. You can buy the book/CD at My-Porsche.com. Yes and No. Yes, there are copyright issues which is why they won't be copied.
  17. Loren
    Correct. A PST2 is around $10,000 (unless you get a dealer/special discount - down to $8000). Yearly software updates are $2500/per year and certain changes still require a phone call to PCNA to get permission and unlock codes.

    Porsche trademark. You will find it on a number of things (like your muffler(s)).

    000 044 700 26 Retrofit kit, shortening of shift travel including mounting elements. It shows in the latest (October 2003) RoW parts list. My advice... buy the B&M Short Shifter. Same shifter - 1/3 the price.
  20. Loren
    No. Here is the spec for C4...
  21. Loren
    Group size is 48. Try to get at least a 700 CCA or better yet 850 CCA. There is another thread here on the Optima battery. You will need to modify the holddown if you go with Optima. I think a better fit for 996 is the Optima 34R which put the battery post on the right sides and doesn't require any cable rerouting or changes.

    Relay Box -- 1) Remove the fuse panel cover and the carpet cover itself by removing four screws. Release the relay carrier above the fuse panel by releasing a clip on the left and a 10mm nut on the right. 2) Pull it down so you can rotate it around to see the back. The seat comes out easily if you have the E12 External Torx socket -- 4 bolts. Don't forget to disconnect the battery -- just in case.
  23. Loren
    Correct. If you do not connect the reverse wire then your distances/directions may tend to be "off" by some amount. I would connect it and run the wire under the center console.
  24. Loren
    The reverse signal wire is under the drivers seat (see diagram). Look for a spot weld with several BK/BL wires. These wires are the reverse gear signal. You will need to splice into any one of these wires and then insulate (tape) well. They recommend running the wire from the Nav through the side panel and up the A pillar -- but I know folks that have run it up the center console. Speedometer A signal is the speed from the instrument cluster. It is the same signal used for the PSE. The easiest place to get this is Relay Support 1 (the relay panel down by your left foot), Position 23 (bottom row, first relay on the left), Bridge Support Connector 1. The Speedometer A signal is the GR/PK wire.
  25. Loren
    Kevin, Do you mean the Speedometer A wire or do you mean the reverse wire? I thought the Nav needed the reverse wire?
