water wetter
alexcwt replied to spd dmn's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
doesn't "coolant" also increase the boiling point of water? That means water will not cavitate (boil) until higher temp and stay with metal or engine wall better to transfer heat. If it bubbles as it flow through the engine, it's not absorbing heat at full efficiency. You get dry spots in the coolant path. That's the explaination of WW. Love to fine out why race cars use plain water or if they really do. -
Mobil1 0W-40 Discontinued???
alexcwt replied to LVDell's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Where did all of you see Mobil1 0w40 in the users manual. Page 172 attached. "use only engine oil...and viscosity grades of SAE 10w-40 or higher. Preferably you should use Synthetic..."

From what I understand about antennas (in this case, the white wire), folding the wire doesn't "mimic" the cut off effect. :oops: The metal is still there to act as a function of the wave length. The antenna (metal part of the wire) length needs to be exactly at a multiple of the wave length or the reception will be really bad. If TSB is requesting a cut off of 130mm you have to be really precise. Or we could measure the length of the wire that runs to the "brain" (to the soldering point) and increase the length at it's multiple. (i.e. if it's 300 mm, we could go with 600 mm, 900 mm, etc.) It would allow you to run it the full length around the windshield. That would really increase the range. I did this to many of my cars, including RC cars and Clifford alarms. On my '98 328 with Clifford, originally a 100 ft range is good. After the mod, I could start my car from about 600 feet away. That's barely seeing the car. Great for finding your car in a parking lot. (no need anymore, I have a Speed Yellow. Can't miss it.) I pull the wire and tucked it into the seam between the moulding and the rubber seal of the glass. I'm going to try it on my 03 C4S and let you guys know. I'll document it with pictures in the next few days.
