I'm trying to see if it'd be worth it to put the GT3 adjustable swaybars on my 997 Turbo. Does anyone know what the diameter of both the front and rear sway bars for the 997 GT3?

I was wondering if it was possible for us folks to buy the service manual for the 997TT in either electronic or print format available anywhere? Anyone have any ideas about that?

Well, I have good news and bad news. I stopped by my local dealership (Barrier) and their tech was only too happy to hook up the PIWIS to adjust the PDC setting but as it turns out the default setting is already "loud." That's the bad news, the good news is that it's there. :D

Your dealer needs to go back to training school. ;)

1. Connect the PIWIS tester 9718 to the vehicle and start it. Switch on the ignition. >> Continue.

2. Select the vehicle type.

3. Switch to the Special functions menu and perform the vehicle handover using the F8 key.

4. In the Special functions menu, erase All fault memories by pressing >>.

5. Carry out automatic search of control units.

6. Using the >> key, move from the vehicle type to the list of control units.

7. Select ParkAssist with the cursor keys and press the >> key.

8. Select Coding and press the >> .

9. Select Vehicle type and code with F8 .

Vehicle type

997

987

10. Select Volume and code with F8 .

Volume

Loud

Quiet

11. Take a test drive, read out the fault memory and erase it if necessary.

12. ParkAssist has now been taught.

MANY MANY thanks Loren! I'll stop by the dealership to see if they can do this for me. I'm not sure why they didn't know about this feature.

For those of you that have the parking distance sensors in the rear, do you find the volume to be barely audible especially with the engine running? I can hear it just fine with the engine off. I'd like to know if there's a way to increase the volume somehow. My dealership doesn't know of such a way. Any suggestions?

I lifted the car up and had a look underneath. It's really tight in there but with small hands, I'm sure it's possible to swap out the bulbs.

popolou, you're thinking of the turn signals. I'm talking about the foglights. :D

Thank you as always, Loren. Looks like I'll have to find a lift or ramps to do it from.

I was wondering if any of you folks on here know how to replace the foglight bulbs on the 997TT? The owner's manual doesn't say anything about the foglights.

Let me clarify my response - you only need a VIN if the part is a special order item (from the Exclusive Department). These items would be things like deviating stitching, or special leather covered trim.

You do not need a VIN to order a (standard) leather gearshift knob, or handbrake assembly, steering wheel, etc..

... and IMHO a good dealer will find a way to get you the part you need/want.

These parts are in fact from the exclusive department so yes, I did need the VIN. I already got it from a nice fellow on 6speedonline that ordered EVERYTHING for his Turbo. Insanity but it gives me a good handle on things!

Thanks everyone!

If you have the natural grey leather interior with the gear shift and door trim in leather, please send me a PM with your VIN number, I would like to order these two items for my car but Porsche will only sell these items to those with the proper VIN number of a car containing these two options. Much obliged in advance! I wish I got those two when I ordered the car

This is not the owner's manual but rather the product guide. I was hoping to get the owner's manual.
