    Thanks for the quick reply. I am not familiar with the CAN Bus? Is it something I can access and tap into? Where is it located? Some of the more sophisticated telemetry systems use the CAN bus - you can tap in at the cluster or the DME. The cluster I assume you mean the instrument cluster? On the DME/ECU can you tell me what lead to tap into? Does it have some kind of identification? Do you know where I can get a swithced 12 volt as well? Thanks Some of the more sophisticated telemetry systems use the CAN bus - Do you have a system theat can pick up network (CAN) data?

    You've got a PM...

    Sorry, not trying to confuse more. I meant reverse the engine - the pulleys face the rear on a Carrera and they face the front on a Boxster. Some folks don't realize that.

    Thanks...that's great information and FAST!!! Cheers One more question Loren...if you don't mind. My local dealer says the MAF needs to be replaced but the car runs and starts perfectly, at all times as far as I can tell. I'm a little overwhelmed by using the search method right now!! Anything else I can check first...to kill the CEL? Cheers. An MAF problem is most noticeable above 4000 RPM. If your car runs well above 4000 RPM then I guess I don't know what the problem is.

    Easy enough to have the battery tested at your local auto parts store. I have seen batteries less than 1 year old go bad.

    Sorry, no seperate part number. You might try a salvage yard or post a wanted here (in case someone has a handbrake laying around).

    Sorry, I have not seen a 997 GT3 service manual so I can't help much more than what you see. Item 24 is just a hook for luggage tie down - and as you can see it does not seem to be bolted in.

    Reverse this as it is for a Carrera.
  12. Loren
    Thanks Loren, interesting indeed- I wonder why the consistent high prices for overall parts / labor? That seems very skewed. Is it tough to replace the relay? That's the only other thing I can think of that might boost the cost... Relay is less than 15 minutes (relay 13 under the dash near the fuse panel)

    Porsche Book Time for a fuel pump replacement on a MY02 C2 coupe is: 140 TU (1 hour 40 minutes) That inlcudes: Remove and reinstall the battery Fuel level sender unit remove and reinstall Fuel tank emptying and refilling Fuel level sensor calibration

    Yes, they made a change in mid MY2000. Some cars had 996.606.124.00 and some cars had 996.606.125.01. Any MY2000 or newer car can use the (newer design) 996.606.125.01 - if your car already had that MAF - or if you update the DME program to use the 125.01 sensor.

    Here is the parts list. I do not know if any additional wiring is needed but I suspect that you will need to change some settings using a PIWIS. 997_TPMS_parts.pdf

    Wait... are you talking about the door sill with the front and rear latch handles? If so, see the DIY here -- they are plane hex and they don't need to come all the way out.
  19. Loren
    Easiest is to swap the coil pack with the next cylinder and see if the misfire follows it.
  20. Loren
    Leave the center console cover open/ajar. You get a beep when any zone is closed.
  21. Loren
    As I recall if you buy the kit everything is included.

    I'm upgrading the Internal and Exterior Rear-view mirrors to Auto-Dimming. The TSB says to disconnect the battery first, then remove the seat, and disconnect the wiring harness. I need to partially remove the driver's side door sill in order to run the correct cables from the mirror to underneath the seat. The TSB mentions "Weld Point 21" under the seat... i'm not exactly sure where this is, but I have to connect a wire there as well. So far, it looks as though the door sill is held on by 3 HEX Security type bolts (not torx). Not sure what size, not sure where to get tool. Harbor Freight $7.99 Hex end to 1/4'' drive adapter, magnetic hex bit driver, hook hanging bit ('Y- design), 1/4'' hex to 1/4'' socket drive bit and 1/4'' hex wobble adapter; also includes 8 Phillips, 8 Pozi drive, 9 slotted, 4 spanner, 9 torque, 4 tri-wing, 9 hollow tip torque, 3 torque-set, 9 metric hex, 4 square, 10 SAE hex, 3 spline, 6 hollow metric hex, 6 hollow SAE hex and 3 clutch bits;

    Only if they are damaged on removal - make sure you use the right tools.
  24. Loren
    If you are asking about item 6 then it is available. Anything else means a new headlight...
  25. Loren
    I would just add as much negative camber as you can and stay within the specs. Tire wear will increase - but so will handling.
