Plastic or Leather?

Oops... thought I had prices but I don't! :oops:

If you mean the defroster trim - yes they are the same design - the colors and materials are the only changes.

Porsche changes part numbers monthly. It is next to impossible to keep the DIY pages up to date. Always ask for the latest parts as the Porsche PET program will list the replacement.

The parts Sunset Imports gave you are correct. The part numbers for front pads for a MY99-04 (as of June 28th, 2004) is 996 352 949 02.

The MY05 Carrera Owners Manual is now online and available for download.

You can download it here

Rob,

This will get some help with the new version of the Garage that is coming. In version 2 we will keep thumbnails of all your pics here so that the page will always load. If someone wants a full size version of your image it will then go to that website. Of course, for those that host their images here that will never be a problem.

New version of RennTech.org and the Garage - sometime next month ;)

P341 - Camshaft Position Sensor 1 - Signal Implausible, Short to Ground, Short to B+

Most likely causes: No power supply, Short circuit to ground, CMP sensor faulty.

P1691 - Check Engine Malfunction Indication light (MIL) - Open Circuit

Most likely cause broken/disconnected wire. Check the connection at the DME and Instrument Cluster.

You may want unplug and re-plugin the large cable for the DME since both faults point to "no connection" (disconnect the battery first to be safe).

The two drain plugs are item 19 (sealing rings item 18)

Turbo parts:

996 504 503 02 Left rubber lip ($13.51 retail as of Nov 2003)

996 504 504 02 Right rubber lip ($13.51 retail as of Nov 2003)

Carrera parts:

996 504 503 00 Left rubber lip ($13.51 retail as of Nov 2003)

996 504 504 00 Right rubber lip ($13.51 retail as of Nov 2003)

I very much doubt prices have gone up that much -- but after the 3X price increase on manuals who knows?

:rolleyes:

Other pages seem ok. Are your images hosted offsite?

If so, then your hosting server may be down... or real slow...

It is likely possible but may be costly. All Carrera's have custom wiring harnesses - build to order. The mount point is the small metal panel between the window and the deck lid. Replacement would mean welding - more likely you will drill a hole in your panel. Add the wiper mechanism, wiring, switch and relay and you are done.

codes are as follows p0300,p0301,p0302,p0304 p0305.  29900. miles. plugs are bosch platinum plus 4417 replaced 300 miles ago at onset of problem. new issues have arisen,after 5500 rpm engine code comes on car runs terrible until cools off.but dose not over heat. just changed oil also mobil 1 0w40 euro car formula. i can improve way car drives/runs by disconnecting batt. for 20 seconds .then start car up and runs much better no engine lights, codes until i put tiptronic in man mode and take car to 5000/5500 rpm then cycle repeats itself. ??? is this an engine failure starting, after car is warmed up oil light will sometimes flash briefly on/off but car is not low on oil.i thought poss fuel filter issue until read your post above. 900rpm and above no oil light? thank you in advance for any help.

P03xx codes are all Ignition System faults. The manual states that P03xx codes most common causes are:

Fouled, faulty or incorrect spark plugs.

Contact resistance or loose connections at the spark plugs.

My advice would be to install the correct spark plugs from Porsche and see if the problem corrects.

Unplug it on the spoiler

You've got mail...

For the Cayenne S and TT only:

The drain plug is on the bottom lowest part of the engine case.

The oil filter, O-ring and sealing ring are the same as the 996, 986, GT2, GT3, and TT:

996 107 225 52 Filter (with O-ring)

900 123 106 30 Aluminum Sealing Ring

The Cayenne (V6) is a completely different filter and plug.

I'll see if I can dig up some images to put a DIY together.

The parts list does not show a gasket for the solenoids (one on each side). It does show a newer style cover (996 105 223 52). The service manual is not very clear here. It does not say anything about sealing materal. It does say the spring and plunger inside the solenoid should not be rotated as they are aligned - period. If you could unplug the cable you could replace the cover while holding the solenoid in place I guess - but I don't know if that will stop your leak.

Here are the two pics...

As a Contributing Member you can read the TSB 0101 0335 New Format of OBD II Reports (dated 10-05-01) here

Both GT3 Brake Ducts are larger than the Carrera standard ones - likely of no impact in street driving - other than easy to scrape and get knocked off on driveways.

GT3 Standard

996 341 117 91 Left Duct ($136.86 retail as of Nov 2003)

996 341 118 91 Right Duct ($136.86 retail as of Nov 2003)

GT3 Club Sport/Cup

996 341 117 92 Left Duct (sorry, don't have a price)

Can you shoot a picture and post it here - not sure what part you are talking about...

There is no TSB on the Oil Separator - even though these have failed on a number of cars (cracked). The oil separators (there are two) are in the crankcase. To get to them you would need to remove the engine sump cover - and then reseal it after the inspection/repair. In the image below they are numbered 9 and 13 (image is 180 degrees rotated from how it is in the car).

Looks like they gave you the wrong parts.

If your car is a MY99 (my parts list is dated 6-28-04 so these should be current):

Pre-cat sensor: 993 606 128 01 (the 996 number you have is for MY02 and newer)

After-cat sensor (next to muffler sleeve): 993 606 118 01 (the 996 number you have is for MY02 and newer).

What were your P-Codes before all this?

My experience has generally been that several oxygen sensor codes do NOT mean bad O2 sensors but that the O2 sensors are identifying another problem (like an air leak on the intake side).

Getting a set of silver ones is rare since they discontinued the part numbers. Black only at most dealers that have used up their silver stock.

If my were as damaged as the ones in the pic then I would sand them down and repaint them with Wurth Silver (wheel paint) and then give them 3-6 coats of Wurth Clearcoat (wheel paint).

If you did not get a P0122 then forget the throttle sensor. Most likely cause for all the oxygen sensors triggering is an intake leak or low fuel pressure. A number of these in the past have been a cracked oil separator allowing (additional) air in. Could still be a MAF, but I would have someone look at the oil separator. Most dealers are aware of this problem...

P1123 to 1130 are all oxygen sensors triggering over limits.

P0122 is Throttle Position Sensor - Below Lower Limit (there is no P1122 on this car).

The Oxygen sensors can not all be bad - they are all just getting bad readings. The key just may be the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). If it is not functioning then I don't think the DME would not know where the throttle position is so it would not know how to adjust the fuel mixture. The TPS should measure 4.5 to 5 volts across the two pins when the ignition is on. If not it could be bad or the connection between the DME and TPS could be bad. Worst case a bad DME/connection at the DME.

I think you solve that P0122 code and clear the codes and see that solves it. That's my take on it...

BTW all the Carrera P-Codes are listed here

figured it out, jsut need to know what kind of epoxy..

If you don't want to buy the kit Porsche sells then I suggest you get a recommendation from a body shop. You are attaching plastic to painted metal so you need the right prep and epoxy.
