    996 555 081 02 A18 Lining Black Leatherette - retail $383.05
  2. Loren
    I drove on the boards (backed on in this pic). The bottom board is about 6 inches longer than middle board which is about 6 inches longer that the top board. So there is a stair steep effect.
  3. Loren
    MY and color please? and you want leatherette not leather right?
  4. Loren
    Well, you could. The rear side panels will need to come off to get to the belt bolts and in the end the belt (slotted) trim will still be there. I'd say 30 minutes to an hour if you have the right tools (and don't drop the front screw into the side of the chassis). ;)
  5. Loren
    Same way, mine just slides off towards the bottom.

    1. Yes, if it corrects itself within a period of time. 2. We would need the fault codes in order further diagnose the error and potential problem area.
  7. Loren
    Yes, you can measure the resistance they should all be the same. One (or more) that much higher or lower indicates a problem.
  8. Loren
    Anyone that has a cap with the part number ending in 00 should the cap regardless. It WILL leak.
  9. Loren
    Yes. Same bolts.

    If you car is not lowered it should only take a few minutes. Also if the plastic screws are sheared off then you might have to poke and pry them out. Still I think less than 30 minutes. I think you should buy new fasteners.

    996-555-122-04-ESZ is leatherette not leather.
  12. Loren
    The GT3 gearbox is different (type G96.90, G96.93, G96.96) from the standard Carrera's (types G96.00, G96.01, G96.30, and G96.31). Also, I think you can replace gear sets in a GT3 gearbox but they don't list all parts in the gearbox.
  13. Loren
    Dell, I think Porsche only sells the whole door panel - so a part number may not help. Another option would be to find a good upholstery shop to see if they can replace just the one panel.

    1. Potential fault P0740 causes are: - ATF level not OK - check ATF supply - Torque converter clutch worn. - check torque converter - Mechanical damage to pressure regulator 4. - check pressure regulator 4 (hydraulic) - Open circuit, short circuit to ground, short circuit - check electrical triggering to pressure regulator 4 to B+. - Hydraulic control unit - check for sticking valves. 2. Not all pcodes cause a CEL light. If the speedo signal problem is ABS related then you may have an ABS code. Unfortunately Porsche has not shared those codes with many companies so ABS can not be read with scan tools other than a PST2 or PIWIS. Your car can also generate code for Body faults - B code, C drivetrain faults - C codes, and U faults - for undefined (by SAE) faults. Porsche only publishes P codes. Some independent shops have invested in PST2 tools so perhaps one could read your full code faults for you (for a nominal fee). Either way you should try to identify and fix the P040 cause - which could be as simple as low ATF level.

    996 555 592 00 C51 is #27 - Correct. Porsche only sells the whole door panel (from what I see in the parts list). ETD is the leather color code for a Graphite Grey Leather door panel.
  16. Loren
    No, not according to the parts list. Cup cars have carbon fiber doors, front hood and rear wing.

    That part number is for the door handle only (sorry Porsche had bad naming in the parts list). If you want the rest of the door panel it would be (for a MY2000 Cab): 996 555 121 05 ETD Graphite Grey Leather - Door Panel (Left) 996 555 122 05 ETD Graphite Grey Leather - Door Panel (Right)
  19. Loren
    Yup, it just snaps off.
  20. Loren
    The part number is for the door panel lining - but it needs a color code to be complete. I'll sent you a PM with instructions.
  21. Loren
    There are 4 different emergency wheels for 996's depending on year and model. My guess is that some are based on trunk area and some are based on body type (i.ae. C4S vs. coupe). There are no specs in the parts list for wheel size - but then these are not meant to go more than 50 miles. I don't see any reason why one would not work.
  22. Loren
    The is a complete wheel set. I do not know if it includes tires or not.
  23. Loren
    For oil changes you don't even need ramps. I use 2 x 10s - three per side. More than enough clearance.
  24. Loren
    TWC= Three Way Catalytic Converter. These codes means that what is going on is damaging to the catalytic converter (flashing CEL) and the car should not be driven. Potential causes for this are: - wrong, fouled or faulty spark plugs - bad spark plug connectors - loose or broken spark coils - valve lifters (if chattering) - camshaft control (on that bank) - Variocam not switching over properly A scan tool should be connected looking for other codes. As well you should check to see if the adaptation values in area 1 differ in bank 1 and bank 2 (e.g. TRA=0.02/TRA2=0.27), the adaptation values for area 2 are generally normal.

    Coolant hose. The parts list says to use a newer 996 106 233 55 instead (if available).
