    + 1 for Dr Wood, either you have no PCCB brake system or there is something wrong with. Check this out first.

    The ABS control box is integraly built with the hydraulic group, in the front trunk, right in front of the brake master cylinder.

    Not necessary, there is a nut fixedly welded allong the inner side of the damper bracket, at least with an genuine drop link which is clearly not yours.

    Usually it's about a leaking waterpump, but it would be nice and more effective if you mention type and model year of the car please.

    You're welcome.

    Furst and foremost, ALL 996 were build in Germany - Stuttgart hence the caracter "S" in the VIN#. The VIN# on the chassis should have to match with the VIN# on the dash, anyway some registration authorities, as in Belgium, only deal with the VIN# stamped on the chassis. So it would be best that in the past another, used dash mounted due to damage or for other reasons, so the registration seems correct. Hope it helps.

    Windshield sealant is indeed a specific product, approved for use with airbags. I would go back to the shop, which has placed the windshield, to have it redone, perhaps warranty?

    To achieve the sunroof rear drains make the headliner partialy detached, started at the top of the rear window. Please note, the drain tubes are highly vulnerable to leaks, be careful.

    If you have a Tiptronic, the gearbox will show a strange switching behavior in automatic mode due by a changed final drive, 45 instead of 40 for the same 20" rim.

    The screen is probably not glued properly in the slot, remove the rubber seal, put another layer of glazing sealant around the window and place the rubber seal back. It would than have to be solved.

    It must be "CONSUMER" of course. Sorry.

    Durametric is provided by a German importer in Belgium which actually triple the US price + taxes. The result is that individuals do not buy because too expensive, you can at least 50 times to the dealer for a check, and you are still better off here. The dealer network (OPC) is also no problem, the maximum distance between costumer and dealer is merely 50 Km.

    Take a look at the bottom of the car, at the level of the left hand rear wheel, you should find two electrical connectors. There is often one ore more of the wires been overheated, repair this problem and find the cause. Usualy too heavy consuming power fuel pump(s), starting jamming, are the culprit.

    The pivots of the top can be lubricated using a Teflon containing dry lube to avoid oily deposits after time.

    A simple question, what about the condition of the OAS?
  16. RFM
    Be sure there are no air bubbles left in the cooling system, best to use an airlift vacuum device as on this topic post # 22 (http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/32508-radiator-flush/page-2?hl= cooling system fill) it's very hard to get the air out in the conventional way.
  17. RFM
    Yes, the filter can be replacet without draining the oil system, further there is nothing wrong with the Original filter brand.

    Indeed JFP, cam cover not camshafts. I have more problems with a slip of the tongue these days, especialy in another language, oh well we'll see.
  19. RFM
    I can not exactly remember me but is noth that on a MY 99, the camshafts should be removed in order to remove the solenoide?

    If you meant a "pump unit" 987 RDC have it right, you can also remove the pump from the housing and order at Robert Bosch, the identification numbers are stamped on the old pump, it costs a lot less.

    A dual-mass flywheel that is no longer acceptable can be usually notice by a rough engine idle and a kind of knock sound when the throttle is brutally rotated from closed to open. To be sure, the gearbox must be removed and the flywheel measured with a set, by LUK available, special tools. If there are many fatty substance between the two flywheel halfs and around the core, where the bolts are, is detected, this also points to a dying flywheel.

    Good that you mentioned, where it seems that the noise coming from around the door, try with the door open, sometimes it comes from the hinges or door catcher.
  24. RFM
    Use on public roads in poor condition the original standaard wheels and tires with N-coding, be sure that the suspension is in good condition and completely free of any play, and fill the fuel tank completely for alignment. I would the alignment, when in doubt, have it done in an Official Porsche Centre, after all, they always have the correct adjustment data, and if the result should not prove to be good, they must, in consultation with the costumer and to everyone satisfi, solve the problem.

    Lies nothing loose inside the protection bag with the spare wheel for instance?
