Did you sort out the seat belt problem ?

Did anyone with a faulty brake switch get a maf error code or did the abs/psm just come on ?

Cheers for the reply.

Greig

When your switch was playing up. What codes did you get ?

Also is it all sorted now ?

Can anyone give me some tips re getting the holder off the expansion tank. I can just about get my finger tips to the plastic clip underneath the filter. I push it up towards the filter but it doesn't seem to want to come free.

Is there an easier way ?

Yep

My mistake, the headers are the same. The x50/GT2 intercoolers are bigger though. The clutch is also uprated.

Hello all, i would like to do change my stock turbos ( k16 ) with the K24 ones and i was wondering if i need to change the headers, exhaust or the intercoolers ?

thanks !

The headers wont fit so you need the k24 ones.

If your fitting new turbos I would change the exhaust anyway but you dont need to.

The intercoolers for the k24's are larger.

Would go after market with the exhaust and headers. The GT2 intercoolers will be fine.

+1 normal in these cars. Been discussed lots on other forums

Nothing to worry about

I changed my plugs and coil packs and the car ran better.

I also used the Bosch coil packs and have had no problems.

The coil packs dont last forever. Bet they have a few cracks on some of them. Ask the OPC to show you them after they take them out

I used to have a Subaru Impreza and when you changed the oil you would disconnect the crank sensor. You could then crank the engine over, get the oil pressure back without the engine firing up. Once the oil light went out you could reconnect the sensor.

So, looking through the various articles about oil changes I haven't seen the Porsche version of this. When I last changed my oil on my 996tt, when I first started it I'm sure the engine had a different tone till the oil pressure was up. This was only for about 3 seconds.

Can you crank the engine over without firing up, ie take a fuse out ?

Do you need to do this on a 996TT ?

I know its taken me a while but I got round to this job. I soldered the wires instead of crimping.

Have driven the cars lots now since changing the switches and have had no warning lights. Easy diy

Anyone know where I can buy the weather pack 3 pin plug which goes into the coil pack.

The plug in the picture with an orange seal ?

thought you could only get Beru coil packs for the 996TT ?

On this web site I have found Bosch coil packs and they are cheaper ???

Do u think its an error on the site ?

Done some datalogging and found this. Appears the 02 sensor on bank 2 has no resistance? Does this confirm its faulty?

O2 sensor resistance behind cat bank 1 = 0.99 to 1.00

O2 sensor voltage behind cat bank 1 = 0.88 to 0.89

O2 sensor resistance behind cat bank 2 = 0 to 0

O2 sensor voltage behind cat bank 2 = 0.69 to 0.74

Did u get this sorted ?

Tim

Did u get this sorted ?

With the Durametric software, what boxes shall I tick so it can monitor what the sensor is doing and log it.

There's lots of boxes and I'm not sure what ones I need to look at

Haven't checked the codes in my car for a while but checked it with my Durametric today and found this :

P0160

Porsche fault code 20 - O2 sensor behind CAT.conv.

Bank 2

Car has been running fine and still does but has had a little occasional misfire on idle when warm??????

Could this of been the cause?????

Whats best course of action ? Replace sensor ?

Any tests?

Just to add

The occasional misfire was on cylinder 5 which I believe is bank 2.

Plug and coil was changed but made no difference

I put 2 new pre cat lambda sensors in mine and it runs much better now !

How much did they cost ?

Any update? Did the o2 sensor sort it?

Think its about 46k miles on the uk models

No, you want 999.192.379.50 poly-rib belt -- US MSRP $92.54

I bought this drive belt for my 2001 996TT.

Is it the right part ..............99610215166 ????

Cheers

Andy

Thankyou :thumbup:

I don't understand... if the spoiler always works with the manual switch then the hydraulics of the spoiler are fine and don't need anything.

Chances are you have an intermittent microswitch on the spoiler.

Loren

Mine's got stuck again. As soon as I got home I tried using the manual switch and this worked.

Where do these microswitches live and what is the part number

Cheers

Andy
