996 C4S wont start
moosey replied to moosey's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Loren, where is the crankshaft position sensor? and how can i tell if the fuel pump is bad? Can the fuel pump be replaced DIY ...and what clogged filter are you mentioning? Thanks -
2004 C4S tip, 50K miles. driving and car seemto want to die and started shaking. pulled over turned of motor and will not start back up . Has new battery. No lights came on at all. Could this be a fuel pump? I dont know where to start. Car cranks over and then dies.

Does anyone have this problem, I have a 996 Targa with the X74 suspension with about 20K miles on it. Since day one when going ud and down steep drive ways i get a loud cracking noise from both the front and rear. Took it back to the dealer and they drove it and noticed the noise but could not find any problems. Could this noise be because it is on a targa? I also never noticed this but the rear tires are substancially bent in wards where you can notice it really well. I know that when it was lowered that the camber settings we different but is this the case? Car drives excellent and straight just concered that this cracking noise is bad and the rear wheels are curved in ward towards the motor.

I need help trying to find out why my guage cluster lights do not turn on for 10min and sometimes even longer. I also notice that my license plate lights on turn on when the gauge clusters lights are on when i turn on my headlights. The digital read outs are all ok except for the lights that light up the rev,speedo and other clusters. I have checked all fuses and they are all ok. SO when I turn on my headlights none of the lights come on the guage cluster. The only ones that turn on are the digital speedo,mph mileage,ect.. and when this occura i notice the front amber side marker and rear license plate light do not turn on until those cluster light turn on. Again the cluster light take at least 10min or more to illuminate and sometimes dont come on at all. 2002 C2 tip

RMF, i was able to easily remove the valve and hose, for some strange reason when i installed the new hoses and cooling valve it does not seem to fit properly. There is a gap on both ends where the rubber hose and metal water line meet. If i force one side to fit properly the other side slips out of place on the metal water line. I dont think i bent any of the metal water lines, also do know if maybe your suppose to push down on the metal line to get a better fit. I also tried putting in the original hoses and valve and i still have the same problem with the hose and water pipe not flushed with one another. So me be a metal water line was slighty bent. Any help would be great or if anyone else on the board have a solution to this problem.
-
Thanks RFM, just wanted to confirm if this is the tiptronic cooling valve you are talking about. My dealer said it is a water heater valve. Also wanted to confirm if it is the best way to just use long needle nose pliers to try and remove the four metal clamps. I will be hard because the coolanr lines are metal and do not flex. Is this a common proplem? the car on has around 10,000 miles on it.
-
Has anyone changed a water heater valve on a 2006 Boxster? it looks like mine is leaking coolant and needs to be replaced. I looks like there are 2 metal clamps holding it in, but I think large amounts of coolant will spill out so i assume the coolant must be flushed. Where is the bleeder valve located and coolant drain plug located?
-
LOREN, if i take it off will large amounts of coolant sill out? the black line in the picture is metal and the clear rubber piece has a black plastic backing on it. What exactly is this piece? the car only has 10,000 miles on it. Thanks
-
2006 987 boxster S, 10,000 miles have a coolant leak on the right side right behind wheel where a metal hose and a rubber plug is. It looks like the clear rubber plug is not in all the way. here is what it looks like. can anyone confirm if the gap looks to big here. its really hard to get to but i am trying to loosen the clamps to see if the two can come close.

how do you remove the side marker on the passenger side on a 2006 Cayenne Turbo

Had check engine light with codes p0301 -p0302. Checked coils and they were cracked. Replaced then with new ones reset code and the same codes came back. Could a bad oil seperator cause these coes to come on. The plugs were covered in oil. and now i have new codes p1128 and p1130.

2006 boxster, service light came on at 28,000 miles. Changed everything, is there a wa to clear the service light ? would disconnecting the battery work? thanks all
-
I just got cel along with P1128/P1130 codes. I have read many of the posts on the subject but wanted to what would be the most likely cause? seems to run fine with the exception to a large puff of white smoke.

Replaced the complete steering lock on a 2000 996 C4. Just this past week i noticed that it does not make the clicking noise when pulling out the key. Turning the key to start the car is fine and functioning properly, its just 9 out of 10 times when pulling the key out there is no clicking noise and the light does not cime on the roof and tends to sometimes leave the gauge lights on and radio. DO i have to replace the complete assembly again? or is there something loose in the steering lock that is causing the ignition not to make the clicking noise? Thanks

I have a 03 targa with X74 suspension. I wanted to know if it is normal to go through rear tires faster since the car is lowered? I have only 11,000 miles on the x74 suspension and the rear tires that are Continental sport contact 2's and both rear tires are down to the tread bars. Also the inner treads are worn down to wear the tread bars are all gone. Is this normal? I drive 50/50 city/highway and always make sure tire pressure are right, could this be a balancing problem? Thanks all!

Hello, does anyone know why the dealers are charging on average $6100-6500 for a factory sport exhaust? I bought mine when it was $2000 for my 2003 C2.

Hi vcar. all i know is that when i put the headlight in it fits right into where it turns on perfectly, and ther e are only two guides that fit that i can see and there is still a gap. i also notice looking through the gap that i can see the metal bar that locks barely comes up from the bottom of the lock positon, but still not all the way up. I then turn the allen key to lock again to see if the pin will rise all the way to lock position and i just notice that it does not have the torque to. Is it possible that the pin is so loose that it no longer has the torque to crank it all the way up into lock position> i though i heard that when this happens the bottom headlight mount has to be replaced?

Headlight on drivers side 2006 Cayenne Turbo is not locking into position, and there is a gap between the headlight and front bumper where you can put a finger tip into. Drivers side headlamp does not fit flush like the passenger side. Do I need to replace the headlight mount?
-

Hello there, I have a 99 boxster and get a loud clunk noise only when shifting from 1st to 2nd, do you think this could be the transmission mount?
-
Would I just be able to replace the transmission mount and not the bracket? I saw on pelican parts that they sell the transmission mount without the bracket> If this can be done then I think I will be able to replace the trans mount without any problem. Can anyone confirm the torque specs on the two hex bolts and the one large torx bolt. Thanks

Front suspension clunk
moosey replied to moosey's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Loren checked all swa bar mount bolts all seemed to be tight and secure, however I did go back to check the upper strut mount bolts and there seems to be a slight gap, and they also do not match up with the lining left buy the original bolts. Is this a problem?
