According to the manual:

27 Oxygen sensing, area 1 Cylinders (1 - 3), P1123 (Short to ground below lower limit/lean mixture threshold) - MIL is on, emission relevant fault

35 Oxygen sensing, area 1 Cylinders (4 - 6), P1125 (Short to ground below lower limit/lean mixture threshold) - MIL is on, emission relevant fault

Possible trouble areas:

- Fuel pressure too high.

- Fuel injector leaking.

- EVAP canister purge valve open.

I'll try to get the Fault Text table online in the Pcode area in the next few days. It doesn't have solutions but it does show how the codes relate to each other.

If you are looking for factory manuals and they are not supplied by Porsche -- then they are bootleg. There are some third party manuals out there but they are not very good (IMHO).

I think that was on the GT3 ClubSport (M003) only. The same feature is available on the GT3 RS (RoW only). Unfortunately, it is factory installed so no instructions.

Since it is both and flicking the switch seems to help - then the switch seems like a logical choice (as adsach said). Another possibility is that the socket where the lights plug in (inside the fender) may be corroded or dirty. In at least one case I saw where one of the holders allowed the socket to push back when the light was pushed in and the light was intermittent.

Have a look at the 996 DIY here as it is the same process for a Boxster.

The Motive is a great little tool for the DIYer. It allows you to put brake fluid in the container and then put pressure in the container so that one person can bleed the brakes and clutch without the worry of getting air into the system.

If I remember right it is an 8 mm allen bolt from the bottom. I think the later cars may have a cap on the bottom that needs to come out first.

Yes, the side panels just pull off. The batwing will come out but sometimes it helps to pry behind it with a butter knife (non sharp prying tool).

The owners manual is available online here.

If you are looking for the service manual Porsche sells sections or a yearly subscription here

According to PET - XNG is instrument surround in leather.

I think Scouser's list is the one from Kindel and includes most of the old car codes - some of which were reused on newer cars.

My advice (for what it's worth)...

1. Make sure that the tire installer has worked on Porsche's before. Some of these guys look at them and don't have a clue how to lift one.

2. Make sure that their tire mounting machine does not touch the rims. Like a Hunter TC 350 Tire Mounting Machine.

3. Make sure they have a high end Hunter GSP 9700 Road Force Measurement Wheel Balancer or better.

4. Find a good speed/alignment shop. A professional 4 wheel alignment should run about $160. These are usually the folks that do all the race cars in the area.

I didn't realize the '04 C4S had lsd, does the '03 as well?

The parts list only shows it for MY04 - option 220.

I cannot figure out what part(s) you are talking about.

He took the clip off (or it wasn't there) that holds the reverse cable connector to the white plastic block. For MY04 a different cable and connector is used as the C4S has LSD. PET shows a special clip only for LSD cars.

loren, locking defrential means LSD right?

Yes, for MY99 options 220 - Locking differential (40%), 222 - Traction Control and 224 - Automatic Locking Differential always went together. The LSD (option 220) was always sold with Traction Control the forerunner of PSM.

This handy little tool is only $9700 to purchase... and of course you will need the monthly updates $1200/year.

It plugs into the OBD II socket under dash. For certain functions it has test/measurement probes that are plugged in elsewhere. It can read all of the cars diagnostic systems (DME, instrument cluster, OBC, ABS, PSM, etc., etc.).

I don't know for sure what PIWIS stands for yet - I'll try to find out. The older system was the PST2 which stood for Porsche System Tester 2.

Any ideas what XTG, XTNand XU1 are?

Thanks,

Thorsten

XTG - Inner sill finished in leather

XTN - Mirror adjust in leather

XU1 - perhaps XV1 - Defroster trim in leather

What does the wheel gap on the ROW M030 look like..because i've still got a fair bit of gap...unless of course it doesn't really lower height, just different springs and dampning, but that would be absurd.

US and Canada cars are the same - not RoW. So, your car is about 20 mm higher in the front and 10 mm higher in the rear than RoW cars

C36 - Canadian version

030 - Sport Supension

XSC - Porsche crest embossed in seat headrests

X54 - Stainless Steel Exahaust

X70 - Door entry guards in stainless steel with logo

X71 - Aluminum colored instrument dials

X97 - Aluminium/leather shift knob

X98 - Aluminium/leather parking brake handle

139 - Seat heating, left

220 - Locking differential (40%)

222 - Traction Control

224 - Automatic Locking Differential

236 - 18" Tires

340 - Seat heating, right

375 - Sport Seat, left

376 - Sport Seat, right

413 - Pressure-cast Light Alloy 18" 'Turbo Look' Wheels

424 - Automatic heating control

425 - Rear Window Wiper

446 - Concave hub cover with colored extrusion

490 - Sound System (w/amp)

859 - perhaps 659? - Onboard Computer

680 -Digital Sound package (DSP)

896 - perhaps 696? AM/FM Radio with CD

983 - Seat Covers in Leather, front

09991 - manufacture from the exclusive-programme

On a 997 it can only be done with a PIWIS - and only dealers or high end independent shops have them.

The "factory" GT3 Mk2 rear wheels are: 11 J x 18 with 63 mm offset.

The 11 J x 18 offset 45 mm wheels are for C4S/TT widebody cars.

Should work if you take the wheel carriers and the brake components from a GT3 (mk1 or mk2). Only the GT3 RS gets a different wheel carrier.

BTW, where can I find the TSBs?

Contributing Members can view the TSBs online here. They also get a Contributors Only Forum, Contributing Members can send attachments with PMs, image storage limits are raised for all Contributing Members, RennTech.org email addresses are available and now a personal Blog.

The radio will not show you the code but it will show you the serial number. From the serial number any dealer can give you the code (they may also want proof of ownership). You can get the serial number by turning on the radio. Then hold down the TP button for about 10 seconds. The radio will beep, then use the knob to scroll over and you'll see the serial number.

000 044 700 26 is the Porsche short shifter. The housing is not included.

If you are going to switch brands then be sure that you flush all the old out first. The Porsche (ELF) organic antifreeze does not react well with some other traditional antifreezes - that is it turns the mixture into "jello".

So, I think the keys here are antifreeze thats rated for alloy engines and don't mix types.

I think what is more important than rotor thickness is to inspect them for cracks. With cross-drilled rotors any crack 7 mm or more radiating from the edge of the rotor OR between the cross-drilled holes makes the rotor unsafe and not reusable.
