    1. Yes. 2. Brown is almost always ground in Porsches. 3. I used crimp connectors and then heat shrink tubing, then black electrical tape and tie-wraps to keep them where I wanted them. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st&p=101451

    Techron should work fine. I use it about every 3000 miles.
  3. Loren
    Yes. For a 968 it was the same as it is today - look for option code M030.
  4. Loren
    Check for a loose rear swaybar.

    A GT3 weights 209.44 lbs. less than a C4 Cab.

    Ok, I was just teasing. ;) Don't be afraid of this it not very hard to do.

    Anyone has a pic of where these infamous rivets are located? Thanks, Gus Did you read the DIY instructions? They are on the wheel well liners.

    Model and model year of your car?

    Sorry but some of your information is not correct. Since the 987 and 997 have different redlines how could they have the same starting ranges. They are not the same for all models. What RFM stated above (for the 987) is correct. ANd , what I stated above is correct for 997. Fuel cutoff can not help you if you miss a downshift and force the motor to run too fast. The rev limiter protects the motor for normal over revs but can not prevent damage from missed downshifts or other mechanical overruns (like spinning the car and running the engine backwards).
  11. Loren
    I posted ranges for a 997: The 6 ranges are: Range 1: 7300-7500 RPM Range 2: 7500-7700 RPM Range 3: 7700-7900 RPM Range 4: 7900-8400 RPM Range 5: 8400-9500 RPM Range 6: 9500-11000 RPM You really don't need to worry about anything other than ranges 4 to 6. So the only one that is different is range 1 (by 100 RPM).

    1. Left front - behind the mud splash guard. 2. Similar to the 996 the back switch is on the top right side of the transmission (more towards the center) 3. I assume no visible leaks. Checked the gas cap? I would try to see if the smell is stronger towards the front (carbon tank) or the back (expansion tank).
  13. Loren
    topmech0 is correct. If you disconnect the battery on a C4, C4S or TT with under 1/4 tank - you will need to get the tank re-calibrated using a PST2 or PIWIS. Those cars use a "saddle bag" gas tank and the sensor is only on one side. So one side of the tank is "estimated" on the fuel gauge - based on the a specific amount of fuel in the tank at calibration time. If you lose that calibration setting by disconnecting the battery (with a low tank) the tank/cluster has no guess as to remaining fuel and MUST be re-calibrated. As I recall there is a warning about this in the Owners Manual.

    Yes, there is a filter there also - but again there is no call to replace it unless there is contamination or damage.
  16. Loren
    Try 6766 or 6764
  17. Loren
    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=24349 Centering left to right is the same. The only difference on the Mk1 aerokit rear wing is that the the logo is placed 50 mm from the bottom edge of the lid.
  18. Loren
    Try 1489 or 1487
  19. Loren
    You need to get your firmware version checked - and if it does not work they need to replace it under warranty.
  20. Loren
    Most fixed spoilers I have seen replace the whole rear deck lid. Are you sure the one you are getting doesn't do the same?
  21. Loren
    Have a look at this: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=72289

    1. Pivot adjustable sun visor to its normal position. 2. Carefully insert a screwdriver between roof lining and pivot bearing 7 (arrow G) and release cover (arrow H). Remove pivot bearing. 3. Unscrew fastening screws 8. 4. Remove sun visor and release electric plug connection. 5. Unclip sun visor 9 and carefully lower it (arrow I), until the plug 11 is accessible 6. Release the locking tab 10 for the electrical plug connection (arrow K) and pull off the plug 11 (arrow L ). 7. Remove sun visor 9.

    There is no service requirement for the fuel filter (since the returnless fuel system was introduced in MY02). It is integrated in the fuel pump (item 4 above) and unless there is contamination there is no need to replace it.
  24. Loren
    Try 9036 or 9034
  25. Loren
    Front bumper is easy enough. The side skirts for a Mk1 areokit are held in place with epoxy - that takes 24 hours to cure. So I think you should do that at home where the car can sit for at least 24 hours.
