    The factory option 666 GSM phone modue has been available since Dec and is included on my inbound 997S. The Tequipment retrofit module should be available soon Feb/Mar Loren you list P/N 997 044 900 01 The module P/N I keep seeing is 997 044 900 71 Do you have the TSB for the install? It does not appear in the doc repository on eDCS, at least I can't find it. If you do could you toss a copy my way? :oops: my mistake - the correct part number is: 997 044 900 71 I just saw 7 "yet to be approved for US market" TSBs and none of them had anything to do with the phone. I'll keep my eyes open.

    Fronts are left and right, satin black or silver (for 40 years version). Rears are stain black only. Let me know which color you want and I'll post part numbers. Do you have the hardware to mount the grilles?

    Have a look at the threads here and here

    You've got a PM...

    Dash parts? Do you have a picture of where they go? Neither show on the current CGT parts list unless they are color code parts (ending in 9A4, or D12, etc.).

    On a US Carrera it looks like this:
  7. Loren
    1st guess is a loose sway bar (there is a TSB on this). 2nd guess is a loose or bad upper strut mount with bearing (there is a TSB on this).

    Okay - I didn't see you had PCM2 before. That is a different phone setup - but still requires another option (I666) and the optical cabling to make it work. The Tequiment part numbers are: 997 044 900 71 Telephone Module PCM2 997 622 702 00 Optical Waveguide or 997 622 703 00 Optical Waveguide w/ BOSE Sound System This must be turned on with a shop PIWIS tester.

    Taking the cap off will eventually cause a CEL. The crankcase ventilation is part of the emissions control. Check the inside of the cap for a black o-ring if it's not there that would explain the leak - but also usually causes a CEL. Better make sure it didn't fall out when you took the cap off too.

    If your install is a flat plate like the item below then you have the cell phone prep. If this is the case then you need to order the docking kit for a specific phone. If your install looks like this (with docking) then you have the full option - but for what phone?
  11. Loren
    It slides into a recess in the body so you should be able to lift and wiggle it out.

    Supplements range from $8 to $11 each retail. Some dealers do not give discounts on manuals/supplements at all. Some dealers will take your order and not follow up on it - so they never ship (I won't name them here). So, I suggest you give Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) a try - they came through for me.
  13. Loren
    I'm confused... Do you have the option numbers? Do you have the cell prep? or the cell phone option (installed)? ... and US or RoW car?
  14. Loren
    Not really, they are pretty standard as far as calipers go. Just clean, clean, clean with brake cleaner only. No oil anywhere near them. You may need to bleed them drive the car (cautiously) then bleed them again as the clean surface will attract air bubbles.
  15. Loren
    I am sure there is lots of good information there. Just a note: since 2001 (which it says it covers 1999 to 2001) there have been at least 50 supplements with corrections, updates and additions to the service manual. I would say well over 1000 new pages. Still a good place to start if you need a manual.

    The latest RMS TSB is dated 07-24-2004. Superseded means it replaces earlier versions (at least three that I remember). That same TSB also instructs the shop to replace the bolts with self-sealing crankcase bolts. The reason is that some engines were returned to Porsche that did not have RMS problem but leaking engine bolts (near the flywheel).
  17. Loren
    Did the dealer activate it with their PST2 or PIWIS system?
  18. Loren
    Well, if it were my car I'd use the GT3 spacers and bolts which are 5 mm longer. I think the last thing you want is a front tire held on by two threads.
  19. Loren
    Does your hand brake light come on in the intrument cluster when you apply it? If not then the switch is not functioning and needs to be replaced. To replace the switch you will need to remove (at least partially) the center console.

    The schematics show all options for all countries so chances are the wiring harness in a US car does not have the wiring.
  21. Loren
    Have a look at TSB 4/98 9212 Installing Rain Sensor
  22. Loren
    I don't know for sure. I would expect the sensor and wiring come with the windshield but not the relay. The windshield is a replacement part not an upgrade part.
  23. Loren
    If you are replacing a windshield then you can get it preinstalled. A rain sensor can be put on any windshield.
  24. Loren
    No, it does not come "built-in" but if your windshield had one before then they would put a new one in. Once they are attached I don't think they come off.
  25. Loren
    What do you want to do?
