looking for the part # to the little pyramid shaped "knob" that controls front to back seat movement. PET doesn't list it separately... anyone know if there is a VW part # for it? Can't hardly justify the cost of the entire switch assy for this little thing... 2006 Cayenne

SS header crack welding
MarkD replied to bjarne996's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Bjarne, Yes, SS can be welded, no problem. You just need someone with the proper setup to weld SS. That is not too hard to find here in the US, not sure of your area. Welded SS is commonly used in header applications and will hold up to just about anything. Take care! Mark -
DIY Sport Mufflers?
MarkD replied to splitwindow's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
There is not near enough loss of backpressure when modifying these mufflers to cause a loss of torque. The mod being discussed is to improve exhaust note only... and it does sound good. I'm not an exhaust designer by profession... but I do play one on TV. And I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. :) -
Couple of Maintainance Questions
MarkD replied to usaf-lt-g's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
1 - This is a common problem. You can repaint using caliper painting kits. It is an odd process involving a brush but it works well. The kits can be ordered or bought many places. Replacement Porsche decals can be sourced via a seller on eBay. Measure yours, there are a couple of sizes available. You then finish with a coat of a high temp clearcoat. 2 - Hmm. It is all stainless steel except some of the hardware. It can get discolored. There is a muffler modification that can be done. It is hard to get good comparisons on a computer but maybe these will help: Not loud at all but gives it a more agressive sound and is pretty cost effective. 3- Touching up chips properly can be a bit of an art... takes a lot of patience and can be really enjoyable, IMO. I get the impression you might enjoy this kind of work. It's all about filling the chip with color and building it back up to the same exact level as the surrounding finish. Lots of way to skin this cat but if you have many chips it can be quite the project. Takes a very fine brush, matching paint and a little bottle of clearcoat. I like to order paint from paintscratch.com. Levelling it after you build up is the fun part. You can use an agressive polish... I use 2500 grit wet sandpaper but you then have to follow up with a couple of different compounds to remove the sanding haze, then polish/wax. Hope that helps!
