  1. In my search I drove the Boxter and Boxter S, I got hooked on the 996 C2 that I currently have, pay a litle more and go for the 911, you will never regret it.
  2. Are TSB for clutch noises covered even when the car is out of warranty, just a question that many may be thinking about
  3. Well I just finished cleaning the MAF , and the ICV, car still at over 1500 rpm's drove back to the turnpike and ran the hell out of the the car, nice 6000-7000 rpm shifts, baby now is running smooth as silk I guess the cleaning did the job for now. Thanks to Izzi, Loren and friends, you guys just save me a ton of money and I don't even work for Geico.
  4. Thanks Loren, this website pays for itself all the time, I hope verybody here is contributing to keep it going and healthy
  5. Does anyone ahve a picture of the ICV I am not sure
  6. I just connected my Durametric tool and the following codes PO446, Evap Canister Shut Valve and PO 506 Idle air control engine speed too low. Shoul I proceed with a cleaning of the MAF and the IVC Thanks
  7. I just went out for a nice Cuban cofee, hit the Dolphin expressway and ran the car to 6500 rpm on 2nd, 3rd and dropped down to cruising, all of the sudden the car starts idling from 750 rpm to 2000 rpm all by itself, drove back home still doing it in cicles every two or three it stays at 2000rpm, is a 99 C2 with 63,000 miles, cold air intake, Fabspeed headers and mufflers, never had this issue before, any help. Thanks
  8. Maybe I am a litle pre-historic, I just used my hand and pulled the marker out, unplug the light and installed the clear one on the 3rd light, and side markers, after all I had a few Grey Goose and cranberry at Houston's Good luck
  9. Excellent report for spanish speaking folks, it details very well all the diffreneces between all 996 oferings.
  10. Where can i get new front rear seatbelts other than the dealer
  11. I have a 99 C2 with this very ugly 4 spoke steering, I would like to change to a 3 spoke or somethi9ng better. I need a steering and airbag. Does anyone knows where I can get one other than the dealer.
  12. check Vertex in Coral Gables, they seem pretty good so far
  13. I hear you Izzy, Miami is a great place to live, you are right, I live in the Gables and sometimes I see 996 and 993 without headlights. I am lucky I was at the mall and not at a red light in Opalocka. Anyways I am calling my insurance to get it fixed.
  14. The funny thing is they are not Litronics just the regular ones, I guess the were testing the highly appreciated social skills.
  15. Last night at a local mall in Miami someone decided to take as a souvenir my two front headlights. Is this a common item stolen from a 99 C2. Is there anything I can do when new lights are installed to make it harder to steal. It seems very easy and quick, the bad side is they damaged both front fenders. Anyone with comments.
  16. Good luck with your dealer, some extended warranties do not pay for certain items, make sure yours do, TSB's can only be printed and downloaded by contributing members, trust me a small donation is worth every cent in the information you will get from this web-site, furthermore I think all members of this forum should contribute at least $20.00 to keep the best Porsche forum alive and well.
  17. I installed a XM Radio because the signal is better, The antenna was placed inside the car near the back window, the conection thru the Porsche radio is done thru the signal imput of the FM, the quality is not great but acceptable while keeping the factory radio.
  18. I also like to know what type of bilstein you use, sport or HD, I have HR springs with stock shocks and is very bouncy.
  19. Check your oil bellows, I have the same problem and my mechanic is working on the car today. I will let you know how it goes
  20. Loren, took the car to the dealer for a new remote programming, $120.00, at least they perform a diagnostic in the car, they said the oil bellows need replacement, $600.00 plus they added another $635.00 for a new MAF which I know I dont need and another $456.00 for bolts, hose oil leak etc. I know the oil leak may be the problem, I check plugs, wires, and seems no problems there, I will let you know.
  21. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...adjust&st=5 D_Man Thanks
  22. Thanks Loren, I will look on them and see if any of them are bad, Could it be the plugs, I bought them from pelican parts products BERU 996-559-237-09-70C-m100 . Could it be the MAF or any other part in your opinion> Thanks for your help. Cesar
  23. Yesterday I had my 99 C2 for service at my independent shop and the following codes are coming up PO304, P0306, P1125, with CEL on. We changed the boil, filter, air filter, clean the MAF, new fuel filter, Beru spark plugs and check all the ignition wires, the codes still showed up, but the CEL has not come up yet. The car is max out lean 25.5, can anyone direct me to a solution or should I go to the dealer. Thanks
