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.

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)

Yup, it just snaps off.

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.

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.

The is a complete wheel set. I do not know if it includes tires or not.

For oil changes you don't even need ramps. I use 2 x 10s - three per side.

More than enough clearance.

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).

955 362 138 20 9A1 19" Design Wheel 9J x 19 H2 offset 60 mm

This one is a Porsche PSE.

Yes.

Porsche only sells the whole lens assembly.

996 632 151 00 Lens (for MY99) - retail $14.60

Does it "spring" open?

If not then the spring may be backwards or not on the right points. Shouldn't make any noise either.

The only Canadian (only) sticker in the parts list is:

993 701 422 02 airbag sticker about - retail is about $2.56 US

I haven't measured it but it looks pretty tight. The toolbox now sits in the lower part of the trunk so I doubt it will fit. You could never fit a rear tire in the front trunk in a 996 so maybe the air/repair bottle is a good solution.

:lol: this post started last July...

It was new then.

C2?

Well, the suggested way is to remove the wheel carrier and press the bearing out using a hydraulic press. Some (automotive) machine shops will let you bring in the part and they will press it out for you fairly inexpensively. Installation also requires that you heat the new bearing to 100 degrees C (or about 210 F in your oven). If you are careful and mark all of the positions before undoing the bolts you might get away without an alignment. Might be good to have it checked afterwards anyway.

It's just a protective washer. This will all be apparent when you see it ;)

Pretty much, but you will still need to remove the hardware (items 2,3 8,9, 10) on the side panels or it will stick out.

Yes.

How do I rivet the hinge using the supplied pop rivets? Do I need a special tool to pop rivet the hinge?

A pop rivet tool is available at most hardware stores and doesn't cost much. Racers use them to hold sheet metal in place on race cars and obviously you can use a metal rivet on places that get hot - unlike racers tape (or duct tape).
