If it is installed/adjusted correctly no adjustment will be needed for years.

$162 at the local parts counter doesn't get you much.  Air filter, pollen filter and oil filter.  I vaguely remember seeing all this stuff for sale on this website for about $88! 

We hoping to bring the maintenance kits back...

Porsche is in the process of changing their complete pricing structure (for parts). I don't know if that is good or bad ;)

Either way the good folks at Sunset Imports are working on it now :D

Thanks, Loren!  Is that the same TT spoiler lip that's part of the 000 044 801 99 aerokit?

Do you know of any similar aftermarket spoiler lip for TT? I remember seeing a carbon fiber spoiler lip on a TT once.

Yes, the part number above is part of the factory Aerokit.

Try MA Shaw.

Some of the early MY99 cars had leaks from the oil tubes (o-rings) and/or valve cover gaskets. There was a part number change for the o-rings.

Also, make sure the oil level is not too high as that will also cause high RPM smoking.

If you mean 996 505 986 01 G2X Aerokit (TT) Spoiler lip; primered; material: PUR- R RIM

Then you can order (it is in the parts list). But, I do not know if it will fit a standard bumper.

If you don't want to pay for Porsche factory manuals (more than $2000) then try http://www.AllDataDIY.com.

The first car is $24.95. Renewals and additional cars are $14.95 per year.

Whats the number for the tip shifter knob in beige trim??

Thanks

955 426 069 00 RLT Sand Beige

Is the immobilizer warning light on (key position 1 or 2) ?

he point being though that the security is relatively the same with and without beep, right?

If the horn beeps then you have an open zone.

Most common causes are the center console not closed, a bad microswitch in the front trunk, a bad microswitch on the center console lid.

You can get a cable here.

He also has some good references for books on OBD II.

What do i need to be looking for in either case??

I did check out the centre consul and it doesn't shut as well as it use to so this could be where i need to start!1

How do i go about re aligning the centre consul??

Thanks guys :rolleyes:

If it does not shut well it is likely that your hinge is broken or bent. In that case you will need to have the hinge TSB performed. The TSB replaces the original plastic hinge with the current metal one. Some dealers will do the TSB for free and some will want to charge for it. You can check the microswitch when the hinge is replaced.

If you want to do it yourself send me a PM and I'll send you the TSB. Tools you will need are a Torx drivers, a drill, and pop-rivet gun.

Try our neat search function...

That is discussed here and here and likely several other places too. :D

There is a 9 page TSB (1/00 7018 Noises in the Dashboard) dealing with quieting dash rattles (it is available here to contributing members here). Send me a PM with your email address if you want it.

I forgot to ask is the plug wire extension just pushed on? Does the new coil come with the extension that fits over the plug? To remove, should I twist and pull?

  Thanks again.

I would buy the whole piece that includes the connector. Have the dealer check as I think sometimes they sell this as all one part (under the first number). Then all you do is unplug the old one and plug the new one in.

Or you may need to buy both and have all new parts.

996 602 101 01 Ignition Coil ($36.73 as of Nov 2003)

996 602 103 01 Socket Extension ($11.11 as of Nov 2003)

Does anyone know if the non-turbo 911's have the save oil consumption guidelines?  I recently purchased a 2003 C2 and I am getting about 1500 miles before I need to put a quart of oil in.

Yes, it is the same.

Thanks Loren.

Would there be any problem in fitting the 996 Tip style bar even though my Boxster Tip doesn't have a central radiator? As in, would there be any trouble mating things up behind the bar?

Instint says no, since it would just look like there's gonna be an extra stretch of intake hole in the middle of the bar. But I just want to make sure, if someone knows for sure?

Thanks

Should fit fine.

TT wheels will not fit a narrow body car because of the offset.

Late model GT3 wheels (same width) will fit a narrow body car (brcause they have the correct offset). Now with that said - putting wider wheels on the car without changing the front wheel width also will give you quite a bit more understeer - in a car that already has quite a bit.

If you are considering 11' rear wheels then consider at least an 8" front and better yet an 8.5" wheel with a 235 or 245 width tire (the 245s may rub a little in tight turns). The car will handle much more predictably (IMHO).

I suggest that you solve one problem at a time.

The horn beep when you lock your car means that you have an alarm zone open. Most common causes for this are a bad or broken microswitch in the front trunk or a bad or misaligned microswitch in the center console.

Yes and Yes.

It may not miss now but when it gets wet it likely will.

996 505 553 04 01C is for manual transmission cars and does not have the opening for the 3rd radiator.

996 505 553 05 01C is Tiptronic cars OR cars with a 3rd radiator.

(parts numbers are for MY98-MY01 996 - as the bumper changed in MY02)

Can you tell us which part?

Have a look at the Brey-Krause site. They have instructions and all the mounting kits.

Have you had your transmission out lately? Like for an RMS replacement?

In at least a couple of cases dealers have forgotten to reconnect the reverse switch wires after an RMS replacement. If not, check the fuses (B5) and the wires (loose or disconnected).

This is the first request. If there is interest I will be happy to create one for 356 (or 914, 924/944, 928, etc., etc.).
