    Pull of the engine cover first, on the left side of the intake manifold you find the resonance chamber, on the front and on the rear of the chamber is a circular cover ( the rear one contains the vacuum actuator ). Between this two covers sits the roll, check for play on the rear side ( shake the roll up and down ) after disconnecting the vacuum actuator.

    Your dealer probably "forgot" to read out the old control box in the menu Key transfer, and read in the new control box.

    I should replace the complete AOS if i was you, since your car is MY 99. Most part of AOS are already dead at that age.

    There is only one motor in 986, you mean the transmission box i think, there is definitely something wrong with the transmission cable on the left side. Ask or PM member Maurice for further instructions, he have a good insight in 986 soft top problems.

    The warranty period is two years, you can remove and replace the unit as DIY, i don't no what your knowledge is with radio/CD units to repair them. The costs are different Europe/US, try to find a US price list.

    All the TT, Cayenne Turbo, GT2 and GT3 engines are filled up with Mobil 5W-50 over here, to reduce oil consumption with good results.
  7. RFM
    Look also if the black plastic "catcher" is still on the fuel door.

    The clutch hydraulic system on a TT is filled up with PENTOSIN hydraulic fluid, look out with that. The canister is located under the trim on the left of the battery. If a bleeding of the clutch system is not necessary, let it like it is.

    You cant, the poly-V belt is equipped with a automatic tightener. You can replace the belt and the rollers in case of noise, check the alternator, water pump and steering servo pump as well.

    The CD player is defective, there are some options anyway: OPC - new or rebuild unit. Harmann-Becker - repair.

    All 987 have a cabin filter and you can use the activated charcoal filter as well, they have the same size. The filter is located under the trim, for LHD on the right side ( battery area ) well covered behind a flap. Perhaps for RHD on the opposite side.

    The headlights and direction indicators are controlled by control boxes, they have no fuses. Check fuse 3 on row C ( light switch ) to start with, if you cant find something than you need the PIWIS tester to find out.

    Strange, this kind of sensor is not in direct contact with the cooling water, correct me if i'm wrong.
  14. RFM
    Strange that the 997 Turbo keeps going with the old Tiptronic.
  15. RFM
    17" is possible if the car have got no brake upgrade! I have no idea concerning the homologation in the US.
  16. RFM
    OK that's good news, great to hear.

    Pull off the cloth hanger and remove the screw, pull off the trim and pull backwards. The amplifier is on the right A pillar.
  18. RFM
    The antenna amplifier is located behind the trim on the A-pillars.

    Cleaning the radiators ( remove the front bumper ) is discussed many times before here on the forum, do a search. There is no oil cooler on the front, only cooling water and AC condensers.

    Under normal conditions 2012/2013 as usual. The 997/2 generation is more than a face lift, complete new designed engine without intermediate shaft ( good news for the owners - bad news for the forums ), crankshaft bearings placed more at both ends ( makes the shaft stiffer and discharge the RMS ) redesigned timing chain, direct fuel injection and a lot more. Also a new double clutch gearbox which replace the Tiptronic. The car drives really fantastic.
  21. RFM
    Don't forget to check the piping under the oil filter area on top of the engine for cooling water residues too. The cooling water drips on the flat top side of the hot engine and evaporate, there are no drips on the floor in this case.

    I cant help you out i'm afraid, ox. sensors in the middle of the cat. are new to me. Are you sure of this ?

    Disconnect the air tube under the dash on the center, if air comes out the center module, the obstruction is situated in the air tube or the vent. orifice.

    Before ordering the rear door struts ( 2x ) check the door glass struts ( the smallest ) first, they have to lift the glass perfect. The big door struts are not able to lift up the door "as new", they needs the help from the glass struts as well.
  25. RFM
    Correct, the engine is made of light alloy. The product prevents corrosion for some time.
