  1. Most of those are in the listing here on the site.
  2. Remember these are Porsche (only) terms and refer to lighting systems on Porsches. Litronic was an option on the Boxster (986) from MY97 through MY05. MY99 through MY01 Carrera's (996) also had "Litronic" headlights as options. Bi-Xenon are options on all the newer cars and MY02 - MY05 996 Carrera's, all TT's/GT2 and MY04 and later GT3. Technically speaking, there is no difference between "Litronic" and "Xenon". Both systems are based on the principle of the gas discharge lamp. Trademark protection of different manufacturers accounts for the different system names. The difference is that the earlier Litronic headlights used a xenon bulb for the low beams and a halogen bulb (combined with the Litronic bulb beam) for high beams. Bi-Xenon headlights use xenon bulbs for both low beam and high beam. Unfortunately the design (shape) of the headlight assembly changed for the Bi-Xenon headlights and they can not be fitted to older cars without changing the front fenders and front bumper. Probably more than you wanted to know... ;)
  3. Did you check the clutch interlock switch (on the clutch pedal)?
  4. Your Cayenne can use the CDC-4 changer only. Because this is a fiber optic (MOST) system you need a kit from Porsche and you need to have the cars controller programmed for the new changer. The correct fiber optic interface cable(s) need to be chosen based on the options already in your car (i.e. PCM, phone, BOSE, etc.)
  5. There are several hundred posts here on the B&M shifter, alignmment and problems.
  6. Yes, you need to look at the Seats catalog near the bottom of the PET list. If your are using the Sunset online catalog look for the heading Seats2, for 986/996/Cayenne.
  7. On OEM parts they are different - no idea about MA Shaw.
  8. Correct, if you get a beep then one or more zones are open. The easiest way to diagnose alarm problems is with a PST2 or a 3rd party software like the Durametric Diagnostic Software. Both can pinpoint the exact cause of the alarm fault. The PST2 can reset alarm codes, the Durametric software can not (at this time). The most common alarm faults are caused by a bad or broken center console microswitch and aftermarket radio installs (that do not take into account the alarm contact).
  9. Are the brakes wet... if so, it could be rust on the rotors.
  10. I would also clean the radiators and the AC condensors while the bumper cover off.... but that's me.
  11. I think you should have the newer key internals. You will need to transfer them to the new key.
  12. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=34742
  13. 996.505.986.00 Spoiler It may or may not come with the 11 plastic rivets that hold it on. If not, they are 999.507.427.40 (11 required).
  14. Those are Boxster only wheels - the rear offset is wrong for a 996. That must be one strange handling 00 Cab... :blink:
  15. No, it defaults to valves open all the time.
  16. The later cars all have 8" fronts. I think it improves overall handling with the proper tire sizes. I have 8" fronts with 10" rears (Sport Designs) on my car with 225/40 x 18 front tires and 285/30 x 18 rears. With the 8" front wheels I could go with 235/40 x 18 in front and neutralize the affect of the wider rear tires. In fact a 245 tire will fit with just a little rubbing at full lock. It all comes down to how you want your car to handle.
  17. 1. Likely just Variocan Plus. To make it is I suggest getting your dealer to let you drive another MY02 or newer 911. There was a DME update for some of the early MY02 cars that reduced the effect somewhat so I think it is important to see if yours is "common" or different. 2. Check the lubrication of the common clutch and brake axle shaft (item 13). The bushings need to be lubricated too (6X and 14X). Porsche suggests Optimal, Optitemp LG2 grease -- Part No.: 000.043.203.37.
  18. Aerokit Cup - as a contributing member you can now read Porsche's installation instructions in TSB 3/00 6315 Installing Cup Aerokit -- dated Jul 21, 2000.
  19. I don't think you have a choice - I've heard they don't sell the silver mechanism anymore only the black Boxster version. I think that is why folks take them off and paint them themselves. When mine get scratched enough I will likely just paint them too.
  20. 1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. No, not at this time. 4. No, not at this time. But is has been suggested to them. ;) ;)
  21. Sunset will have to "build a kit" - Carnewal has the kits pre-built. Both are outstanding vendors. :D
  22. I don't think the color code was ever used in the VIN - at least not to my knowledge. Look in the front trunk for plate with the VIN and color codes on it. Please do not type in ALL CAPS - on the web that is SHOUTING - thanks.
  23. I mean there are a number of adjustments and you still may need to replace the regulator in the end. You can try to adjust it if you want -- the sections starts at 57-6 page 3.
  24. 7.5J X18 H2 ET 50.0 -- 993 362 134 06 8J X 18 H2 ET 52.0 -- 993 362 136 01 10J X 18 H2 ET 65.0 -- 993 362 140 04
  25. 996.605.115.01 is still used on the 997 (and was used on the egas 996's). 997.605.115.00 is used on the X51 packaged 997's beginning in MY06. My PET is Feb. 2006 -- all the parts I gave you are the newest ones as of that date.
