That is a TechArt after market kit.

The car looks great - congratulations. Now that I see the car is new... Has the dealer run the Porsche PIWIS handover program? This is required for the car to configure country setting and the like.

Here is the list for the RoW set. It would surprise me that the individual parts are cheaper. Have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer cost) pricing?

Porsche art numbers (for suspension parts) are 11 numbers - several of your numbers have more - so I can't look them up. What are you trying to accomplish?

Maybe - the outside mirror function is now in the door electronics control unit.

Door rattle (and other interior rattles) have fixes in the TSB section. Since you are a Contributing Memeber you can read any of those TSBs. Rattles in the engine compartment are usually a heat shield or a muffler with a broken weld -- very rarely a cat. A thump when going over a bump is likely a loose rear swaybar.

:welcome: If you have a US car then item 1 and 2 are the same. You can buy the parts individually or in a kit. You could also go with a coilover kit and set your own ride height. If you go that route I would suggest using the GT3 swaybars.

Not at this time. If it were out in distribution we would have it.

There is a cleaning and re-oil kit available from several companies. I suggest that you oil it lightly and then wrap it in newspaper overnight to absorb the excess oil. It might save you cleaning your MAF.

Most dealers also write the anti-theft socket number in the Owners Manual so check there also for the code.

The wheel bolts are a standard 19 mm. Use a deep socket with electrical wrapped around it to avoid scratching the wheel. If he has a torque wrench the wheel bolts should be torqued to 96 ft/lbs.

Sometimes you can reach inside the latch mechanism with a small screwdriver and push the emergency cable lever back. You might also try a little (stress little) amount of WD40.

Start with the fuses - A1 and A4 should be the windows fuses. Both are 30A. Also, have you started and driven the car since the battery disconnect. Disconnecting the battery resets all the computers so they have to re-initialize and in some cases be re-trained. If the fuses are ok then hold down the window switch for at least 20 seconds in both directions.

Yes, if you used a 996.606.125.01 then you will need to re-program the DME with a PST2 or PIWIS.

It is usually behind the headlight or between the headlight and bumper.

I think you are correct - dealers swap wheels on cars all the time. 17's are probably a better autocross tire but other than that there is no real advantage or disadvantage (IMHO). A Porsche dealer or a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester should run a fault report along with a DME report - print it out and fax it to you. You will get engine operating hours, airbag hours, Number of ignitions, range 1 (over revs that the rev limiter did control), and more important Number of ignitions, range 2 (over revs that the rev limiter could not control i.e. missed shifts, or spins). Of course they should print out and be ready to correct any faults that are reported. A typical report might look something like (some of these faults are ok because the owner had disconnected the battery): Range 1 over revs = ok. Range 2 over revs = not good (this car had no Range 2 over revs). 19.04.2007 18:26:02 911 (996) DME Vehicle data Number of ignitions, range 1 5918 941.0 h Number of ignitions, range 2 - - Operating hours counter 941.8 Vehicle Identification Nr.

We will be doing some server maintenance on Wednesday August 9, 2007 beginning at 8:00 am EDT. The work should not take more than one hour if everything goes as planned. Thank you for your patience and your continued support of RennTech.org!

My advice is get a CarFax, ask for any service records, get a PPI. I am sending you via PM that cars factory options (that VIN only). You should check to see what has been removed (if anything) and what has been added.

My money says the tech forgot to torque the wheel lug nuts.

I agree - that sounds normal to me especially if the car sat for some time.

There are lots of independent shop that have a PST2 and some might even do it for free. If you were local I would would do it for you.
