  1. John, I just installed a Fabspeed intake kit with the red hose on my 01 Tip C2 not knowing they had a different version for Tiptronic. Anyway, there is now an extra vacumn line dangling there since the red hose doesn't have a place to attach it. The black corrugated stock hose has an inlet to attach this line but only for Tiptronic cars. My question is since your Tiptronic version kit didn't come with the red hose and assuming you are still using the stock black corrugated hose, how did you connect the small diameter opening from the stock black hose that used to connect to the air box since that opening is now plugged up by the plastic/carbon looking dome piece? I realize this is a pretty old thread but if you read this please comment. Anybody else that knows the answer please comment also. TIA!
  2. Hi Wolfgang, I have the exact same problem that you described in the opening post. Just curious to know if you ever tried replacing the relay and if that fixed the problem. I know this thread is over 3 years old but I found it on my search and am hoping that somebody can point me to the cure. Thanks. Me too me too!!! I just bought the car and couldn't figure out why pushing down on the wiper arm gave me one swipe and then it stayed off. I thought there were 2 offs!! :) I finally got around to replacing the intermittent wiper relay (position 16) with a brand new relay and still have the same problem. The wiper only wipes once then waits over a minute between wipes. It does not matter if the intermittent wiper interval adjuster knob is set on min. or max. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
  3. We used the original 01 mounting brackets from my current 01 996 when we installed the modified 99 mufflers. Are you saying that I should have used the old 99 mounting brackets instead?
  4. Yesterday I removed the modified MY99 6spd mufflers and put the stock MY01 Tip mufflers back on and the vibration went away. While the mufflers were off, I saw that the MY01 Tip mufflers had the accordian inlet pipes while the MY99 mufflers had the smooth inlet pipes. Maybe that minor difference prevents the vibration while Tip cars are at a stop and in gear. Now I'm curious if I upgrade to aftermarket mufflers if I'm going to have the same vibration issue on my Tip 996. To Tiptronic 996 owners with aftermarket exhaust, do you have any vibration in the car when the car is at a stop and in gear?
  5. I may try to put the stock Tip mufflers back on to see if the vibration goes away. That'll at least determine if the muffler swap is causing it.
  6. I believe 99 and 01 mufflers use the same hangers so I have no fitment problem. I'm just curious if the mufflers for 99 6speed cars are different than 01 Tip cars because the part numbers are different.
  7. I recently modified my old MY99 6-speed 996 3.4L mufflers (P/Ns 996 111 122 56; 996 111 121 56) for better sound and installed them on my current MY01 Tiptronic 996. I got an improved exhaust note but now when my 01 is stopped at a light with the Tiptronic in 'Drive', I have a unwanted vibration/rough idle in the car. The vibration goes away when the car is moving or if I put the Tip in 'P' or 'N' but when the car is in gear (D or R) and stopped, the vibration is there. I did not have this unwanted vibration when I still had my stock MY01 mufflers (P/Ns 996 111 131 54; 996 111 132 54) on the car. I noticed that the MY01 Tip and MY99 6spd mufflers have different part numbers though the mufflers looked the same on the outside. Does anyone know if there are internal differences between the two sets of mufflers and that maybe by putting my old MY99 mufflers on my MY01 it may be causing this unwanted vibration? TIA for any helpful advice!
  8. nope it's lowered with H&R springs 1.2inch i believe makes a diff from stock Did you replace the shocks? If not, do you have any handling issues pairing stock shocks with only springs?
  9. Anyone know what is the warranty on a rebuild M96 engine? My 01 C2 had the engine replaced by Porsche under warranty at 70K in Jan/07 during previous ownership. I now have 92K and wonder if I still have some warranty left on the engine.
  10. How is your car lowered now or is it sitting at stock height?
  11. Hi Wolfgang, I have the exact same problem that you described in the opening post. Just curious to know if you ever tried replacing the relay and if that fixed the problem. I know this thread is over 3 years old but I found it on my search and am hoping that somebody can point me to the cure. Thanks.
