Actually they are on the 3rd generation for the 996. ...and the 997 got yet another new design (thin wall tubing and much lighter).
-
Well the relay and the dash switch seem to be the only intermittent wiper functions that are not shared by the standard wiper function. Try another relay (position 16 - 3rd row down 6th relay from the left) (996 615 103 00) . And/or check the continuity of the switch with an ohm meter (it should vary as the knob is rotated).

The Turbo lid is a longer - so the theory was that you would need to remove the reflector below the C4S deck lid to make it work. Someone else was asking about the differences a couple weeks ago. Have a look here.

Litronics
Scouser and some of the other UK folks might have some tips on buying parts...
-
You didn't say whether the headlight assembly you want is Litronic or Standard Halogen?
-
For a MY98 Boxster they show the following colors:
996 552 096 00 B12 Black-grey
996 552 096 01 C02 Metal-grey
I would should pulling out your ashtray and check the color code on the end of the number. It will either be B12 or C02. Order accordingly.
-
Is the switch broken? You can test it with an ohm meter.
Other common areas are the front trunk microswitch and not having the sunroof or top closed all the way.

Glad I could help... (little bit that I did).
Hope your back gets better!

From the 997S Technik Book:
Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)For the first time in the 911 series, the new 911 Carrera S is offered with a chassis that has actively adjustable dampers. The PASM is standard equipment for the 911 Carrera S. In comparison with the standard chassis, the vehicle with the PASM chassis lies 10 mm lower.
The newly developed, variable damping system “Porsche Active Suspension Management” helps to do justice to the demands for a modern chassis. The aim was to maintain the high comfort level of the standard chassis while increasing performance at the same time.
The driver can choose between two programmes: “Normal” and “Sport”, both are selected via a button on the centre console.
The function light in the button comes on with the Sport setting. At the same time a damper icon appears in the instrument cluster display together with the text “PASM Sport”. When the normal programme is activated, the damper icon appears accompanied by the text “PASM Normal”. The text and icon remain visible for 4 seconds and then disappear.
PASM combines two chassis rolled into one: One with equal measures of sportiness and comfort and one entirely dedicated to sportiness and the race circuit. Normal mode (the basic setting when the vehicle starts) on the one hand provides the same excellent comfort as the standard chassis, on the other hand, the chassis approximates the sportiness of the sports chassis when regulative interventions are made with active PASM. In conjunction with specially developed software modules, the PASM ensures excellent performance and even greater driving safety in extreme situations.
Operating principles of PASM
PASM selects the required damper hardness for each individual wheel from a precisely co-ordinated map in both the Normal and the Sport programme. The possible damper settings range from comfortable to decidedly sporty. Both programmes, which overlap slightly in some areas, are additionally superimposed with five special software modules to provide the optimum damper settings for every driving condition.
The system automatically selects the appropriate damper hardness based on the PASM programme selected and the driving condition identified.
The Normal programme offers comfortable settings with low damper forces. Special control algorithms in the PASM software modules enable the chassis to offer greater active driving safety in extreme driving situations, even with the Normal programme. To increase driving safety at higher speeds, the dampers are automatically switched to a harder damper setting as speed increases.
The dampers switch to a hard characteristic when Sport mode is activated. This offers superior agility and excellent steering precision on uneven surfaces. If the system detects an uneven driving surface in Sport mode, it immediately switches to a softer characteristic to improve contact with the road surface. PASM selects the optimum damper setting for this softer characteristic from the Sport map.
Since extremely hard damping is not always the ideal solution in every driving situation (depending on the driving surface, the vehicle may start to bounce or shift), the intentional overlap between the Normal and Sport maps allows a noticeably soft setting to be selected if necessary. The customer gets an “active sports chassis” which automatically responds to the actual road surface and switches from a hard, sporty damping setting to a comfortable range as necessary. PASM switches back to the original characteristic as soon as the road surface is smooth enough.
The following is a detailed description of the five software modules overlapping Normal and Sport mode.
Lane-change module
The damper forces at both axles are immediately increased in response to rapid steering movements, for example sudden evasive manoeuvres. This reduces body tilt and instability, thereby significantly improving vehicle control even in extreme situations.
Vertical-control module
In the Normal programme, the damper force is increased as soon as the vertical movement of the body, for example when driving over uneven surfaces, rises over a specific threshold value. This prevents body instability and therefore woolly driving behaviour.
In the Sport programme, the damping is slightly reduced automatically to improve contact between the road and the wheels as body movements increase. This also results in a noticeable increase in comfort.
Lateral-acceleration module
If specific, speed-dependent thresholds for lateral acceleration are exceeded when cornering in the Normal programme, the damper force is increased by different, defined amounts for each side of the vehicle. This prevents vehicle instability and significantly increases driving precision.
In the event of large vertical movements and high lateral acceleration coinciding, the higher of the vertical-control and lateral-acceleration damping values is set. This happens if, for example, the damping in the Sport programme was previously decreased by the vertical-control module.
Brake module
PASM switches to harder damping at the start of a braking operation to reduce vehicle nose-dive when braking. This way, higher brake forces can be transmitted to the road faster. It switches back to a softer setting (this setting is different for the front and rear axle) after a specific amount of time. The result is improved road contact, and thus a shorter braking distance, particularly when braking on uneven surfaces.
Load-change module
The damper characteristics for the front and rear axle are individually switched when accelerating heavily, releasing the throttle or changing lanes. In Normal mode, the dampers are briefly switched to a harder damping setting in these driving conditions. This avoids excessive lifting or diving at the front of the vehicle (“pitching”). In Sport mode, a softer damper characteristic is briefly selected if necessary to improve traction when accelerating, particularly on uneven surfaces.
Components
The PASM system comprises the following components:
• Four dampers with continuously adjustable damping force (each with one bypass valve)
• PASM control module
• Two acceleration sensors for detecting vertical movement of the body (one at the damper dome at the front right and one at the rear left). Further signals such as lateral acceleration, steering angle, travel speed, brake pressure, engine torque, etc. are read in via the CAN bus.
• One button for selecting the programme (Normal or Sport)
The system measures body movements via one acceleration sensor on each axle (front and rear). Values such as lateral acceleration, steering wheel angle, vehicle speed and information on possible braking operations are provided by the PSM via the CAN bus. Engine rpm and torque values are provided by the Motronic via the CAN bus.

Although the clutch slave cylinder is a -90 (Porsche MotorSport) part I believe it is functionally the same. I don't think you can tell them apart without looking at the part number. Perhaps the internal bore for the GT3 is larger.

My Arctic Silver is L92U. The paint code for Arctic Silver is 92U. As far as I know there is an "L" in front of all the paint codes on all the stickers and perhaps stands for Lacquer.
India Red was L M3A back in the 80's. (I think India Red and Guards Red are the same anyway).
-
Guards Red for MY03 is 84A (US water based paint). India Red was not available in MY03 unless it was a special order color.
-
Yes, as is the Turbo. The photos in the DIY are from a TT.
-
My information is directly from Porsche TSB (4/98 9212 Installing Rain Sensor - dated 1-26-99). Porsche likely changed the kit and never updated the install TSB.
-
Fairly common is loose sway bar mounts - so that would be a good place to start.
-
Mark the existing pedals with new pedal holes.
Drill holes in the existing pedals.
Fasten the new pedals to old pedals with the supplied screws.
-
All Contributing Members have access to ALL the TSBs ;) ;)Loren, do you have one of these TSB's for an 03 C2? I have a Taco wing in the paint shop and I should have it tomorrow for the install. I don't mind doing some wiring instead of having to buy something from the dealer (usually means a week wait anyway). -
Odd that they didn't catch both since the DME stores all codes not just the last one. P1539 should not have anything to do with a MAF failure. What was the previous code?
P1539 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 2
Fault Conditions: Actuator triggered, no active position.
Fault Area:
- Open circuit in triggering wire.
- Open circuit in B+ supply.
- Actuator faulty.
-
If you have a beep when the alarm is set then there is a zone that is open. Common causes are open or broken microswitch in the center console storage, broken microswitch in the front or rear trunks, and on MY03 and later cars the glovebox.

I got both of mine at a hardware store. The tubing is commonly called aquarium tubing. I also got a 50 cc syringe with a flat needle (looks like a steel tube) at a hardware store also. I think they said it was for oiling ceiling fans, etc. The syringe (and tubing) should be cleaned well afterwards.

Have a look here.

IMHO... no, not much. The older small style maybe a little raspier vs. the new one that may be a little deeper. I have only heard the old style on a 3.4 and most of the newer style are on 3.6 liter cars. Either way they are pretty close.Is there any difference in sound or performance to install the old PSE vs the new PSE on a 2001 C4 ?Are the wider pipes louder ? or a different tone perhaps ?
I would be very interested in these.
Thanks

The full PSE kit is 000 044 200 21 and will fit any model year.
