The passenger part number is 3D1-837-016-C.

Suset Porsche wants 175 dollars.

When I replaced the driver's door about 5 years ago, the part was made in Poland if I remember right.

About a two hour job for me.

Have not checked the crank case vacuum.  Will take it to dealer.

The AOS is original.

No squealing noises.

Yes, it is parked on an incline.

It is there on start up and then goes away.  It then comes back on deacceleration when the car is warmed up.

Thank you for your reply.

I replaced the serpentine belt.  I replaced the boot between the air cleaner and the throttle body but forgot to tighten the hose clamps.  Drove the car over 100 miles and it started to smoke.  Tighten the hose clamps and the smoke went away.  A couple of days later the smoke is back.

i think I might need to replace the air/oli separator.  Maybe it just needs to be drained.

Thank you for responding to my HELP issue.

Took me 4 hours to get the water pump out and 6 hours to put it in.

Good thing I don’t make a living fixing Porches.

Wow.

7.5 foot pounds.

I expected alot higher.

Thank you Loran

I read that the seven bolts that hold the water pump on are torque to 7 foot pounds.

Is this right?

2006 997s tiptronic USA

My spring broke last week.  I will order the part from Sunset Porsche.

Sunset Porsche in Oregon.

I have a friend with this problem.  A common problem is the drive shaft bearing.  From whit I have read,  You need to buy a $800 drive shaft from Sunset Porsche.  The bearing is not sold by itself.

You should look for used cats.

There are used Porsche junk yard in Los Angles and Arkansas.

I am sure there must be Porsche junkyards in Germany.

Paul

Maybe your nav CD needs to be reloaded. Do you have

any repair shops to go to check if you have any error codes.

Paul

So it is the gauge on the left. Looks like

a large water container filer next to the needle.

I will look at the radiators. I will also get a price for new radiators.

I heard that you need a negative suction pump to fill it.

I also heard that you can just fill it and keep adding fluid for a while.

Thanks for all the replies.

Paul

Went for a spirited drive up to the top of Mount Hamilton.

The car water temperature is normal at 210F. Near the top of the mountain

I was looking at 240F. Is this too hot.

I have cleaned out the radiators a few years ago.

The car has 130,000 miles on it. I blew up the motor at Buttonwillow

Race track. I had a new factory rebuilt motor installed around 60,000 miles.

Should a 70,000 motor take these 240F temperatures. Luckie for me it was only

near the top of the mountain.

Thanks for any replies.

Just tried the key in the ignition switch and unlock the doors.

Key works fine know.

Thank you for your post.

Thank you for your reply.

The oil sender is broken. He bought a new one for over $140 his costs.

He is going to lift the car and then lower the motor. He hopes he can get his

hands up on top of the motor to remove and install the oil sender.

Wish there was a easier way to do this.

Paul

My friend is having problems with a 1997 993.

When you turn on the key, the warning lights stay on and

the pressure switch shows high.

He has replaced the instrument cluster and replaced the oil

pressure switch and this still has not fixed the problem.

He thinks that a wire is being pinched to cause this.

Has anyone ever have this problem?

Thanks again for any responses.

Paul

Anyone have the wiring diagram for a 1997 993?

Loran does not have one.

Thanks,

Paul

I just broke another one. There is not much

you can do to improve the life of the links.

The banjo bolt produces a lot of vertical stress.

The threads on the nuts wear out.

I have to dig under my car but I think the banjo bolt sheared at the

threads.

Yes I have a bigger a thicker sway bar to reduce roll.

Paul

You may want to get a new one from the salvage yard.

The tires shoud be 19 and not 18.

See if you can test drive another similar car.

Paul

You may be having a problem with the car running hot.

Push the wing button next time you drive.

Paul

I would get an alingnment first.

How long is labor = 170 tu.

Looking at 170 hours would be more then

21 days for a single guy.

Paul

Anyone notice their Porsche logo caps looking faded.

I was next to a new Caymen S and his caps looked great.
