    HI All Just to let everyone know I have had my car serviced and replaced the MAF sensor. The car goes like it should. Amazing that one sensor could make such a difference. Thanks to all of you that helped with this problem. A big thanks to Joe & Phil @ HP Motorsport, Hainault. These guys serviced the car for me, and made my 911 run like a 911 should.

    Thanks again, I have booked my car into HP Motorsport as they are closer to my offices. I will post my report once the car has been returned and the invoice has been settled. Hi All. Just a quick update. I have just had the car serviced by HP Motorsport. Excellent service, really helpfull people. Definately recommend them to anyone in the South East England, nr Hainault. The gearbox slippage was due to the MAF sensor. Now replaced and goes like a 911 should, its never driven so well.

    Thank you Richard for your help, have you used either of these companies?

    I have had the car on the OBDII reader, no fault codes present. I think Its time to find a porsche specialist in Essex (SE England). Any recommendations??

    Thanks Richard for you help so far. Just to clarify this is a new problem, i have always felt abit of slippage, but this is quite extreme, if I am in 2nd at 5krpm, then change I can red line it before it changes gear. I am taking the car to my local mechanic tomorrow to check the ATF Level, I am told the car has to be put on a ramp to check it?? The car is due for a service which I plan to take to Porsche, I just didnt want to pay porsches rates to check the gearbox over if its only a fluid issue. Do you use Porsche for your servicing? Phil

    Does anyone know how to cure the following problem. I have a 98 C2 tip, when driving my 911 fairly hard in either tip or auto mode the gearbox is slipping between gear changes when going up through the box. It appears to happen in all gears. Down changing is fine. The gearbox doesn't slip if I do not push it too hard. Can anyone help? Thanks

    The light has just come up on the dashboard for my brake pads to be changed. Can anyone recommend good pads for road use? I might need to consider replacing disc's as well! I have read the DIY to changing pads, is the list of part for the C4 likely to be the same as the C2 if I stick with Porsche parts? Thanks Phil

  15. Sly74
    Is there anything else I should check? or is it only likely to be the air mass meter? Regards
  16. Sly74
    I havent had the air mass meter changed, is it an expensive item, can it be check, or should I just replace?

    although I have had my 996 for over a month now, I never noticed before whether there are supposed to be lights around the auto gear lever, can anyone confirm if the letters are normally lit? and if so how do I change the bulbs? Thank Phil
  22. Sly74
    Does anyone know a good place in the uk to pickup the clear rear lights to fit a 98 996 Carrera? Will consider 2nd hand at the right price. Thanks Phil
  23. Sly74
    Thanks for the info, any idea how much replacements cost?
  24. Sly74
    Wow Loren Thanks for the excellent pictures. That is a big help to me. Lets hope when the garage remove the bumper its only a pipe that needs replacing?? Thanks again will keep you posted. Phil Keep in mind the compressor could start up and the system could be full of gas and still no a/c. This would indicate an internal problem with the compressor. Although it is unlikely, it is a possibility and something handy to know in case they give you an expensive repair quote. Lixmas Thanks for the info, according to the garage, they filled up the system and the gas was leaking from the under the front bumper. They plan to remove the bumper, fill the system and find the leak. (fingers crossed). Then order the part(s) required to fix the problem. You might find me on the forum hunting for the parts. Thanks again.

    Hi All I have had my 996 A/C checked over, appears theres a leak from under the front bumper. The garage are talking about removing the front bumper to establish the exact cause of the leek, then ordering the replacement parts. Anyone had the front bumper removed to check the A/C? Is this a common problem with A/C on the 996? Regards
