  1. Turned out it is not. The clamp is 1" and the hose is 1/2" and the flat pin is twice thicker than the mounting hole on the clamp. That's all right. Maybe there is no clamp supposed to be in there?
  2. It supposed to clamp one or 2 an inch-thick water hoses. Those water hoses run one on top of another across the body, just above the rear edge of the under-carriage plastic shield. Not sure if it goes to hose #8 but seems it's the only clamp with a flat hole to go over that flat pin on the picture I had taken.
  3. What kind of a clamp is for the water hose by the front end of the MB automatic gearbox on 996.2? Is it 996-106-419-52?
  4. According to your statement I called a local dealer yesterday and asked to pull the options for my 987.1 which I also having and it aslo is having Tiptronic. Turned out, it has an option 195 70Ah battery and the guy said the factory ships Boxsters over with 70Ah batteries to only get overseas which they change to 80Ah. But, sometime ago I had put the factory 70Ah battery which lasted only for 2 years and I switched back to 80Ah battery. I said back to the dealer if according to them the factory puts 70Ah Boxsters to only to get a new car shipped overseas, why my 996.2 is having the option 197 88Ah stronger battery for the first place? - He didn't respond with anything.
  5. My MY2003 996.2 is having the option 434 Work Instructions for cars overseas on the hood label. What these instructions are? Is there a PDF of these instructions somewhere or something?
  6. 82-2087 number on the 996/986 hood label is it a dealership code or the car's Production Number?
  7. To my knowledge the CDR-24 is a default config which radio has a built-in amp. My car is having option 490 Digital Hi-Fi Audio along with the 670 Navigation and the amp in the front trunk similar size and shape to BOSE amp but diff. pins layout.
  8. Yes. MB 722. Interesting as you saying they put bigger batteries only to some cars with tiptronic as this someone else's label showing A9610 but no bigger battery. Q: 82-2087 number on this hood label is it a dealership code or the car's Production Number?
  9. My 996.2 pup is having an option 197 on the hood label (Stronger battery 88Ah). Q: Smaller batteries have less weight to help for racing but do you know why to some cars Porsche puts stronger batteries over the standard ones while the standard batteries designed to be enough to supply the necessary need for electrical supply already? I looked the 987 parts catalog and the 987 cars also have an option 200 for a 95Ah stronger battery. The only deviation from a default 996 configuration I see my MY2003 996.2 pup is having the PSM option 476 and the digital radio option 490 but you don’t use PSM without engine running and I seen another build hood label of a 996 with the Bose audio (option 680) without a stronger battery – so stronger battery is not per say a necessity for the better audio option. And for soft top opening/closing if performed without the engine running – but I also seen other 996 310 hood label without stronger battery – so it’s not a requirement for the soft top opening mechanism neither.
  10. Why the 996.2 with the Mersedes-Benz automatic transmission A96/50 (Mersedes 722.70) is having 2 reverse gears? In the instrument cluster there is only 1 light for Reverse gear. What are these 2 reverse gears are for? For the 996.1 with a ZF gearbox there is only 1 reverse gear, same as in the manual transmission for either 996.1 and 996.2.
  11. There is a thread in this forum on the oil level/temperature sensor 996 606 150 02 location (called in PET as an "Oil Level Sender", which supersedes 996 606 150 00 and a guy said it takes him a 1.5hrs to get to the sensor by removing the RH intake manifold. Can someone who did it provide the steps (I want to avoid of breaking anything). 996 606 150 02 Oil Level Sender: The Blue arrow: The black arrow (the engine blok is pictured from the other way around, from the front of the car):
  12. Solved. I didn't find any mentioning on the heat shield in the Porsche Carrera 996 Group 1 Engine From 15 service manual so I bent both sidewalls outward a little to pass the rear stud and finally got the heat shield in-place. Then I straighten up both side walls as they were and screwed the screen up. Thoughts and observation: The 996 104 445 01 Heat Shield is marked in the Parts Catalog with "A" (Assembly only) - installed when the car was assembled. They don't sell it. They sell the other shield 996 104 445 02 which is more rounded up than the "01" S-shaped shield and the 996 104 445 02 is having only one side-wall. Appearing the 996 104 445 01 shield is perfectly sliding down under so there is no need to take it out to do a maintenance on coils/spark plugs while seems all stupid mechanics trying to take it out, cut the side walls off, whatever. So the factory made a re-visioned part which they sell which is not having one of the side walls. But, the matter is without a side wall the overheated air will eventually crack the wall of the coil which is near-by. That was the whole point I wanted to get the original part with both side walls, not the revised part.
  13. The orientation on the pictures is the same way as on the diagram. It's not upside-down. You can't put the heat shield upside-down in there.
