    According to Porsche's Maintenance schedules In a 2WD Carrera the transmission and differential share the same case and oil. 4WD cars have another differential in the front. As long as you use Porsche approved transmission oils then you do not need anything else for the LSD.

    1. Put the visor down and release it from the clip near the rear view mirror. 2. Gently wiggle it back and forth as you pull it towards the center of the car. About a 5 second job.

    Should pull off. Parts are 996 parts according to the 997 parts list.

    What are the part numbers for MY2000 ? Thanks. There are several "correct" part numbers for different versions of PSE that all work fine.

    I sent you a PM...
  7. Loren
    Yes. 964 505 103 00 G2X Cap (unpainted) - retail $8.63

    Almost all the parts are different from blower motors to air distribution ducts to AC lines.

    I don't think you can get it past the vent without removing it (I didn't try). But who knows it might be worth a try. Removing the vent and switch is not very hard maybe 2 minutes (see the switch knob removal elsewhere on the site).

    It is just running the wire down the A pillar, replacing the existing relay with a new relay and doing the initial adjustment. Maybe less than an hour. Your original switch is still used. Here is how it works: Turning the rain sensor on or off. 1. To turn on rain sensor: Turn the wiper switch to position 3 (interval). 2. To turn off rain sensor: Turn the wiper switch to position 0. There are are three ways to turn on the rain sensor if the switch is left in position 3 (rain sensor - on) when restarting the vehicle. 1. Turn the wiper switch to position 0 then back to position 3 2. Actuate windshield washer system 3. Change the rain sensor sensitivity using the wiper interval adjuster. Changing the rain sensor sensitivity. Sensitivity can be set to 6 different levels using the wiper interval adjuster. Turn interval adjuster counter-clockwise: Low sensitivity. Turn interval adjuster clockwise: High sensitivity.

    You don't need to remove the engine - just the gearbox. Usually 4-5 hours labor. They should check and fix any other leaks (they see) while they are in there (i.e. intermediate shaft seal, exhaust gasket, cam cover leaks, etc.). Also they should change the case half bolts to the sealed type if they are not already.

    All Porsche (Carrera and Boxster) amps are mounted in the front trunk between the battery and the spare tire.

    Well, most of the relays I have opened were not really relays in the traditional sense - they were digitial switching circuits. So, you may have to swap it out with another relay with the same part number - from someone else's car to be sure.
  14. Loren
    Check relay 4 (top row fourth relay from the left).

    Do a search as this has been covered many times here - with a number of pics. Look here

    The sport springs are different than standard springs in both length and stiffness. Correct, the compensation spacers just adjust for small differences in spring height.

    The fuel filter is located in the tunnel area facing the center unit above the coolant pipes. 1. Remove cover for rear and center underbody. 2. Pull off ground cable on filter. Then release the rapid-action couplings by pressing on the grey surfaces and remove the fuel lines. Collect emerging fuel. 3. Loosen the large hose clamp on the filter and remove the filter element. 4. Re-install a new filter element and tighten the hose clamp. 5. Join the rapid-action couplings of the fuel lines. The plug connections must engage audibly. Then push the ground cable onto the filter element.

    Changed anything in the dash recently (like the radio etc.)? If so, you may have knocked a wire off - if not, you could have a bad control unit.

    Does the light on the switch go on when you push it? They all share a control unit for power and control.
  22. Loren
    996's also swivel to the side - sounds like a 996 type. Got a pic?
  23. Loren
    Porsche uses different spring rates for different transmissions - so all springs are characterized in the parts list by transmission (and body style). So a 5 speed transmission has different spring rates that a Tiptronic or 6 speed. The compensation spacers used are dependant on the over all height of the spring to bring it back into ride height compliance. Springs are always sold in matched pairs and the compensation spacers are always used to match those springs to the proper ride height.

    Front blue/yellow, white = standard suspension RoW with 3.0 compensation spacer. Rear blue/yellow, green = 5 speed standard suspension RoW with 4.0 compensation spacer.
  25. Loren
    I haven't looked closely at the 997 visors yet, but if they are like the 996/Boxster visors then they have a plastic cover that pops off at the attach point... or an easier way is to slide them off the directional rod. Just maneuver the visor so you can gently pull it off the rod.
