Yes, it just snaps back in. If you had the defroster trim out also, then it needs to go in first. Also, make sure the defroster trim is aligned towards the doors so that it does not conflict with the alarm sensor cover.

Not exactly what you are looking for... but nothing special here about a Porsche clutch.

1 - release lever; 2- release (or throw out) bearing; 6 - clutch disk (or driven plate); 8 - flywheel; 9 - splined drive for transmission (with needle bearing)

The Porsche mechanic who installed it, said the car handles very much like the new GT3, except for a "heavier" feel due to the extra weight of the C2.

You do realize that the GT3 weighs MORE than a C2 right? Your mechanic was wrong about that.

:lol: Maybe his mechanic is overweight? :lol:

On the Carrera, Porsche changed the spark plugs from 2 electrode to 4 electrode as of Nov 1998 builds. They continue to use the 4 electrode plugs but changed the heat range used. The current plug Porsche uses on all (Boxster/Carrrera) engines is Beru 14FGR 6KQU.

You likely need the spoiler wiring harness from the TT Aerokit (also a fixed wing). The part number is: 996 612 070 30 Wiring Harness.

This a simple harness that goes from the passenger side of the body (near the lid shock post) to the deck lid wiring.

The very early builds of the MY 99 cars were built in 1998. As in any first production run there were a number changes. Early build cars most obvious identifying characteristic is orange and red tail lights instead of clear and red (nothing wrong with these they just changed them).

If you are considering an early build car then ask the dealer to verify that it has had all of the Service Bulletin updates that it should have. The can easily do this by checking the VIN on the PCNA computer. And as with any I would suggest a CarFax on any vehicle you are ready to purchase.

Good Luck!

You've got mail...

When I got my Certificate of Authenticity in 2001 they were $35. I wonder whats warrants an almost 3X increase (greed?).

Hmm... my feeling has always been clean the rubber and use a dry talc compound. You don't want a grease or lubricant that is going to collect dirt and debris. Another trick I've heard is teflon tape. Applying it might be tough though. Then again, Porsche sells a lubricant for the rubber mating surfaces of the cab top to rear windows.

It is: 999 917 557 00 Krytox lubricant $33 retail :eek:

The oil pressure relief valve seal is: 996 107 123 50

The proper torque is 25 Nm. (19 ft-lbs).

Here is the fuel filter on a Boxster - similar location on a Carrera (but I don't have a pic). You will need to remove the plastic belly pan to get to it. Don't forget the ground wire.

...and gasoline will run down your arm. :o

First I want to apologize to those that have not been able to get access to Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost. There was a security foul up and some folks were told they did not have access to that page. That is now fixed and everyone should have access.

222 is Traction Control (only available on MY99 C2's).

234? Are you sure it isn't 224 Limited Slip Differential?

TC and LSD were always sold together.

Sounds like an exhaust manifold leak to me or a compression leak. Not good... better find a shop that can check it out. I would not drive the car - just to be safe.

At this point I'm not sure I remember... last car I did (before the DIY) was a Turbo and I can't remember if it was different or not.

The larger one (30 mm) will only fit in one place so that should tell you for sure. Let me know what you find...

Porsche specs say - 18 MPG city and 26 MPG highway.

Sounds like you are right on spec.

If you look at my 3rd Radiator DIY (Loren's DIY pages link at the top of this page) I cover removing the front bumper. You will see that you likely will need to slightly loose all the front bumper screws... then move the bumper and tighten them down again.

Please list them here or try the list at: Kindel Option Decoder

Not to my knowledge - not on the 996.

There are however 3 different MAF sensors depending on:

C2 or C4 (MY01 and older) or 3.6 liter (beginning in MY02).

Unless you damaged one of the oxygen sensors (not likely) then I doubt this is related.

Have you had the gas cap or oil cap off recently? ...these are the two most common causes of a CEL.
