    I filled her up with distilled water and took off for work. Looked fine for 10 minutes then I saw the vapors from the rear. Looks like the cap is bad. It's a .01 but sure "leaks"!
  2. MagnusB
    Forget that :-)

    Where to buy Pentosin CHF 11 S? Can I use any brand or?

    When driving home yesterday the warning light went on, flashing. It did that once before but I thought nothing of it at the time. It's behind the steering wheel for me so maybe I haven't noticed it and it's been there for a while ... However I checked the coolant level today and it's below LOW, in fact it's a cm down in the lower container part. I cannot see anything on the floor or see any leaks around the container, elsewhere in the engine room or around the radiators. I checked the oil dipstick and the oil looks ok there so perhaps it's not seeping into the engine ... Is this normal, i.e. I just fill up with coolant, or should I be worried now?

    And Rogier van Baar sells an AUX unit which works with the PCM1. 55 EUR plus shipping. rvbaar@hotmail.com

    I've done that, cannot see anything wrong. The sway bars looks good and the bushings are 3 months old and look good. I checked the control arm bushings, checked the shocks for leaks and the wheels for cracks. The only thing I can think of is that the brake pads are moving. The front rotors are really worn and will be replaced as soon as I get the new ones. I did install a new battery but I have made sure it's tight about 5 times now :-)

    Since a week back I have a new sound at low speed (cannot hear it at high speed). It comes and goes. It sounds like something metallic or hard is loose and hitting something else. I cannot reliably get it to sound by driving over uneven terrain or by steering rapidly left-right. I'm not even sure if it's front or back :-) Any ideas?
  8. MagnusB
    How do you charge the IPOD? The AUX unit connects the sound bit but how to supply power to it?

    Have you checked the cable just hasn't popped off from the lever sticking out of the tranny? (Just had to use the word tranny in that sentence). If so just pop it back on. Happened to me once.

    I have exactly the same issue, how to remove the clear coat and repair this wheel?

    Please tell more about the mesh screen mod.

    Bump. I'm really afraid of having rubber left in the metal profile after riping out the old seal. It doesn't look too easy to clean out the profile. Also, the seal continues down into the side of the car, if it is glued into the profile all the way then I have to tear down the whole side. Has anybody done this?
  13. MagnusB
    Same here, can't figure out how to cleanly remove the old seal.

    I need to get my hazard switch taken out. Can't figure out why it won't come out, maybe more heads can solve it... If there is still space that is? Cheers, Magnus
  15. MagnusB
    I have tried my best to remove the hazard warning bezel but it just won't budge. What is holding it in there? Anybody have a picture of it?
  16. MagnusB
    Tried Sunset but they haven't responded. Any other places with good prices? Try Sunset Porsche. They will find it for you abd give you good price. :thumbup:

    On a similar note, I tried the same thing and stripped the nut on the hard line going to the caliper. Anybody knows the part number?
  18. MagnusB
    I have mine fitted at the bottom. It seems you need an adapter around it to fill up the extra space around it, that is what I have. Ok, So today I tried to put it in the lower spot on the lower console. It still didn't seem right and wouldn't go in all the way. I can see where the slot on the bottom would go, but there are no side-slots. I can also see where the unit would screw in (the lower half has two holes). I must be missing something.....

    It could be Gremlins, did you check for those? [OBVIOUS] Are the wheels touching the inside of the wheel arch? [/OBVIOUS]

    I was just informed the motor and bracket would cost more than $400. Where did you buy yours?

    The Convertible Top Compartment Lid (CTCL) doesn't close on my cab and I have a red light indicating the lid is not closed properly. I can hear an engine whine like it's trying to close it but nothing happens. The top itself is closed properly. I have now tried various methods but nothing helps. This is what I know: - The top goes up and down flawlessly - Both flaps work, they go up and down - The CTCL moves up and down when using the "manual" method described in the manual - When trying to close the CTCL via key or button the engine makes noise but nothing moves. It gives up after a couple of seconds. - The CTCL doesn't move - pressing the CTCL lock micro switch makes no difference (it seems) The problem seems to be that the electrical motor doesn't move the CTCL at all. Where is the micro switch located indicating a closed CTCL?

    Did anybody have a good idea on what paint to use for the interior "silver" parts?
  23. MagnusB
    What does popped out mean? If it's in the channel it's ok I guess?
  24. MagnusB
    That sounds great. If there is room I'd love to join in. I want to replace my break lines (steel). This should take maximum two hours. Have tools, parts, brake fluid, only need a container for brake fluid.
  25. MagnusB
    I'd be interested in changing brake lines to metal ones and of course change the brake fluid.
