Thanks

Planning to drop th engine this winter to perform the coolant fittings fix by welding. As the same time, I am going to replace all hoses, gaskets and etc

I am having hard time to find the part #s for all hoses and related seals/gaskets. Can you help? I found this diagram from rennlist but no part #s.

Thanks,

Got the car back from dealer today. The shaft sealing ring 997-102-265-91 replaced with 2 hrs labor.

Hi Magnum... I had a similar oil leak from the rear end of my '04 GT3 engine at 12,700 miles. It was fixed under warranty at my dealer. Since it was under warranty, they did not document the the time nor charges. The leak was at the rear end of the intermediate shaft seal. I'm looking at my service invoice and trying to remember what exactly was done. They do list removing and replacing the coolant pump and associated washers/seals. I believe they had to R&R the pump to get at the IMS seal. They also replaced and exhaust clamp and gasket, impling that part of the exhaust, and possibly the rear bumper, had to be R&Red to get to the seal. You should get a good analysis of the location of the leak before proceding. Let us know what you find.

Craig,

Car is going to dealer next Wed. The bugetary quote is $450. Looks like just replacing seal. Hopefully, nothing else! Will post back. Thx

This is the first oil leak I experienced on this car. Car has just under 10k miles. The oil leak from one of the pulley (with rusty bolt) at the rear of the car. Please see below pictures. Do you know if it is FMS leak? My next track event will be in 2 weeks. Can I fix it after the track event? How many labor hours do I expect from the dealer?

I am not afraid if someone can provide a precedures. thx

Hi,

Wonder if there is any torque # for bleed valve?

thx

Mike

I found crack in both of the rear -lower control arm dust boots. Ball joints still work good. Wonder if the dust boot is replaceable and where to buy it?

thx

Easy DIY and it only cost $50 from sunset Porsche.

Gear ratios are in the Owner's Manual.

If you do not have one - then you can download a copy in our Downloads section.

found it.

thx

Need some help from 996 experts. I have a 03 C4S manual and in a process of setting up a G2X data logger. Can anyone provide the gear ratios for each of the 6 gears?

Very helpful tips! thank you

Wanting to lube the brake pistons next time I service the brakes. Can you recommend what grease I should be using?

thx

Recently, I experienced similar problem! Can anyone let me know where the oil pressure sender unit locates? Hopefully, Just a loose wire.

thx

Here is the custom made quick connect harness bar that I had on my car before I installed the Roll Bar. This is made of 316 stainless, very strong. I can take it in and out in a few minutes. The end adaptor has S.S. bushing which allows seat beat to swivel.

GranburyChuck,

the X pipe is a good investment. It is lighter, sound a bit louder and most important that the car felt faster.

Off the subject but how do you like the x-pipe? I am needing to replace my cat and was thinking of this option.

After installing the fabspeed x-pipe sport cat. The car has a fault code of P0160-O2 sensor behind cat converter-bank 2. Where is this O2 sensor locates? Is it in between the manifold and cat or cat and muffler? Is the cat from driver or passenger side?

thx

I purchased a car with PSS10's on it a few months ago and I get some major bounce with the front on the highway. I've tried adjusting them to full soft, full stiff, front full soft/rear stiffer etc... but the bounce persists. It seems like the rebound isn't there at all on the shock and thefront end will pop up really high over certain rolling bumps on the highway. Is this normal? How can i tell if they are shot and am I SOL if they are less than 1 year old but the ownership of the car has been transferred?

thanks in advance,

Dennis

Hi! Not an expert, but I do have PSS10s and this does not sound at all like mine. How much drop do you think they went for? Perhaps you are hitting the stops. Just a guess.

Yeah, i originally thought that since i couldn't fit my finger in between the tire and fender, so I had them raised .5" and can now fit a finger between the tire and fender with 26" tall tires. The ride did get better but the bounce is still there.

When I got the car, they were set on full stiff (past 10 where the dial won't turn anymore), i've heard this can damage them??

Hmm. I had a question a while back and had a nice chat with the team at Billstein. Took just a couple of emails to get a real technical expert. To "zero" the settings, it turns out you actually tighten them all the way and then just back off one click. This is "10." The clicks are pretty close, but not sure that full stiff would have damaged them. Worth a call to the experts I guess.

Isn't it 10 is softest and 1 is stiffest? It is the case for PSS9 9=soft clockwise, 1=stiff counterclockwise.

Anyone changed spark plugs on a C4S? I removed the 2 bolts for the shield. There isn't enough room to remove the plate! It looks like I may have to remove the muffler and the muffler bracket. Any comment?

thx

Mike
