    I don't see one for 45k but here is the standard schedule for a 1995 Carrera:

    Porsche suggests inspection of hoses at 30,000, 60,000, 90,000, 120,000 miles but does not recommend replacement unless leaking or damaged. Here are the hose clamp locations (both pics for C2) (a C4 is slightly different):

    Gt3 Ride Height Spec

    Loren replied to Loren's topic in 996 GT3

    For the height check of the ready-to-drive vehicle (full tank and tools), place the vehicle on a level surface or on the measuring platform. Front axle Measure from wheel contact surface to the lower edge of the hexagon-head bolt of the tension-strut screw connection to the body. Rear axle Measure from wheel contact surface to the locating bore in the rear-axle side section (between toe and camber eccentrics).

    Loren, would it be possible to tell from TSB what Mobil 1 weight would be recommended for "severe duty" (oil changes more frequently due to lots of city driving, more cold starts, etc.) in a warm weather climate. Failing that, is the TSB available online anywhere? Porsche's approved list does not make any recommendations for what other car makers call "severe duty". All of Porsche's approved oil are high quality severe duty oils. Only hydrocracked or synthetic oils are approved by Porsche. Temperature wise Porsche states: Above -12° F. (-25° C): all oils approved by Porsche for the vehicle type to be considered Below -12° F. (-25° C:: all oils approved by Porsche for the vehicle type to be considered which have the SAE class OW at lower temperatures. Contributing Members here can view all TSBs. If you would like to donate just click on the Donate to RennTech.org. Contributing Members also get a special forum just for Contributing Members, larger personal mail box limits, they can send attachments in personal mails and they have much higher image storing limits.

    What is the Pcode? Very few bad O2 sensors (IMHO) more likely an intake or emissions leak.

    Hehehe... Hint - how do you get a RoW car in North America?

    ncp oils are synthetic (or "non-conventional processing") oils. GL oils have good light running properties because of their light low-temperature viscosity as well as a high level of temperature stability. G rated oils can be used as non-seasonal oil, but do not have the same light running properties as "GL" oils.

    The TSB for "Porsche Approved Oils" is 8 pages long. Most of the common ones are in the list below: Mobil 1 0W-40 ncp GL (factory fill) Mobil 1 5W-40 ncp GL Mobil 1 5W-50 ncp GL Castrol Syntec 5W-50 5W-50 ncp G Castrol Syntec 5W-40 5W-40 ncp GL Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Formula 0W-40 ncp GL Texaco Havoline Synthetic 5W-40 ncp GL

    Yes, the vent is the oval opening in your pic. The supplied tubing is larger than ours but it is not a problem as the small plastic coupler is large on one end (for the new supplied tubing) and small on the other end (for our original tubing). I did have to cut the original battery fitting off the the original tubing as it seemed glued on. The clear plastic is original and the black is supplied with the battery.
  13. Loren
    You can buy them here

    I paid $64.99 plus tax.

    I just bought a new battery from Autozone, as suggested. I tried Costco and while the prices were excellent, my Costco did not have group 48 and were all sold out of group 47. I got a group 48 from Autozone for $65. It is a "Duralast" brand but does not look the same as the one pictured. Also, mine did not come with a vent tube and there does not appear to be anywhere for a vent tube to go. Dumb question but is that bad? Since there is a vent tube attached to the original battery that leads in to the firewall area, what the heck do I do with it? Just let it hang loose? Guess who's battery died today? (mine). I got the Autozone Duralast and the guy said it didn't have a vent tube - I asked him to check again or look at another battery - Oh, he says... I guess it does have one. This is what I bought and installed today...

    Likely any will fit. I think they just changed the color/style.

    That rubber trim wraps around and down under door. It is all one piece. There is a clip behind the inside door panel that fastens the top rubber piece (near the door handle). Then you can carefully pry out the bottom from the clips that hold it in place.

    See TSB 6/04 6690 Trailer Hitch Installation Instructions (Option 1D6) (dated 7-9-04) in the TSB section. Perhaps their PST2 is not up to date (software wise).

    Could be anything in the picture above. According to the OBD II Manual:

    Would that be this connector?
