Thanks guys - but there are lots of contributors here! :thumbup:

Mark,

Have a look at my 3rd Radiator DIY and you will see that each side has a radiator (for engine cooling) and an air conditioner condenser mounted in front of it. For a through cleaning you can remove the front bumper and use a soft brush on the condenser and then loosen the condenser and clean the radiator behind it. Maybe 1 hour total for the bumper cover removal and cleaning.

Loren,

do you have pictures of the airbox for TT, just the airbox I mean?

cheers,

Tony

You need to lightly tighten the tray then fit the headlight and adjust the gaps around the headlight until they are even (and look like the other one). Then carefully remove the headlight and tighten down the tray bolts (only 6 ft-lbs so don't overtighten).

180-190 is normal and under stress (mountain roads, high speed driving or heavy stop and go traffic) 200 or 205 is not uncommon. Once you slow down (or get moving as the case may be) the temp should come back to 180-190 range in 5 minutes. If not you may have some debris in your front radiators.

Porsche's lifetime coolant is green not pink. I don't see any reason to change your thermostat - just clean the radiators and top up the coolant with Porsche coolant. It is also possible that there is air in system and it needs to be bled out - to do this open the air bleed valve (see my third radiator DIY page) for a few days then close it and top up the coolant.

Yes. They are very different in size, shape, mass sensor location etc.. The GT3, GT2, and TT share similar airboxes as the intake and engines are the same engine design.

Congratulations!

Yes. You are likely hearing the air pump (for emissions - not cooling). Sometimes it will also kick on while idling at a stop light -- perfectly normal.

Loren, can I bother you to check these part numbers? I have an '03 C2 6spd coupe. I'd like to double check the numbers before jumping into the install.

Thanks!

Front:

996 343 531 19 (spring, front, white/green, blue)

996 343 041 21 (damper)

996 343 701 04 (sway, front)

Rear:

996 333 531 26 (spring, rear white/green, blue)

996 333 051 26 (damper)

996 333 701 19 (sway, rear)

996.333.105.03 (bump stops)

According to the parts list those numbers are correct.

Enjoy... :D

Don't you also need to "train" the transmitter using your old transmitter ?

996 505 425 00 70C Left Buffer (Rally Black)

996 505 426 00 70C Right Buffer (Rally Black)

Sorry, I don't have a cost on that item.

What years is this for? Is it for Pre MY08/01?

Jim

It says MY01 and newer. I don't yet know why it would not work in an earlier car.

Sorry, my bad. Read the wrong line :oops:

996 333 531 12 is correct for RoW M030.

996 333 701 19 sway bar should still be okay as it is the replacement for the 996 333 701 17.

996 612 070 10 Spoiler Harness.

I show a list price of $101.

Clutch slave cylinder.  Not brake calipers.

Ahhh... my mistake.

I think One of the brake bleeder caps would work though I haven't tried.

They are actually a cap with a plastic keeper.

930 351 919 00 front

930 351 927 00 rear

Any one that will fit and not fall off will do. I would not recommend duct tape or anything that is likely to melt from the brake heat.

Very little different in the 01 and 03 part numbers. The very early (1999-2000) version that I have has smaller bypass pipes - otherwise they are functionally the same.

Yes, 03 is an updated part that replaced the 01 version. Should work fine.

There is supposed to be a TSB for PCM 2 upgrades floating around but neither I nor any of the dealer techs I know have a copy. If your dealer follows the procedures in the Service Manual they should know what to set using the PST2. It is basically check boxes for the options on your car.

More info now in the pinned topic at the top of this forum...

Here is the brochure with part numbers for various phones for the new Porsche Cell Solution (1.3 MB PDF). There are now also TSBs (in the Contributing Member's Section) for PCM2 equiped cars.

Contributing Members can download the prep and install TSBs in the Contributing Members Only Forum.

It's the same "Signal A" wire used for the PSE and PCMI and II. A Grey/pink wire at the (foot area) relay panel.
