Does anyone know which Pentosin hydraulic fluid is used for the spoiler system for the 997 turbo? I understand CHF11S was used in the 996TT...is it the same for the 997?

No. No. Nope. Not true. Talk to Stephen. http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/showthr...lder&page=2. And that's Stephen Kaspar. Porsche Club of America tech advisor for the 911 Turbo. As for the GT2...1.3 Bar with no internal changes true. But different VTG turbos. And 1.3 Bar is a spike...it is not a sustained level throughout the RPM band. If you want to entrust your $150k automobile to your tuner...that is fine. Personally, I'd question anyone who has to solder a chip on the current generation ECUs to modify it.

You spent over $120K for a sports car, and you're going to cut corners on a ECU upgrade by going to a "guy working out of a little shack?" Please tell me you are joking... I hope this post is a complete joke. The ECU should never need to be removed and re-soldered to flash new software. Good luck with your warranty when your service rep asks about the burn marks on your ECU board.

DME data

Thanks Scotto. I went ahead and passed on the cabrio. I'll just stick with my TT. -
DME data
bbywu replied to bbywu's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
It's a 2007. Looking at your first link, does the data store the number of hours for the last incident only? The interface doesn't look like PIWiS. -
Does anyone know if the ECU records not only the number of Type I or II over-revs, but also WHEN they occurred? Is the data recorded as total number of occurrences, or is data also recorded with mileage or hours run during the occurrence? I'm looking into purchasing another 997, but when I asked the dealaer to run the DME, a few Type I and II over revs were recorded...and the car has less than 5000 miles. I'm worried that the car was abused during break-in. Any insight would be appreciated.

Holy cow...how do you pull out the trim?!? I have pulled out the alarm cover, and half the trim, but can't get the rest of the clips out from around the speaker. Any hints, special tools? It seems to be getting stuck along the little metal hook at the A-Pillar...

Thanks for all the replies...I'll take some snapshots when I'm done...

I recently purchased carbon fiber side vents, defroster trim, and a leather LED alarm module. I've figured out how to swap out the side vents (thanks to others in this forum) but was hoping for some help about removing the defroster trim and LED module. Any ideas?

Cigarette Lighter Removal?
bbywu replied to RayGT3's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Old post, but I have a comment to add. After doing a search for some help removing the lighter port (changed out console panel to carbon fiber) I just wanted to add that you can buy the clear plastic ring, black plastic retainer, and green plastic bulb housing from Porsche for about $6. If you rip or destroy the green plastic bulb housing in frustration (as I did), you can replace it easily with a completely. If you push the metal cigarette lighter forward, you can get it to pop out from the clear plastic retainer. Once out, you can push the tabs on the clear plastic retainer to pull it out, replace it with a new one, and put the cigarette lighter into place. -
Does anyone know what the correct part number is for the rear wheels for a stock 2002 996 TT? According to the Parts catalog from Porsche, the rear wheels should be 996 362 142 03 for the M410 style during production up to 2002. As for those cars produced 2003 and beyond, the M410 style part number should be 996 362 142 11. Anyone know the difference between the two? :cursing:
