    The oil/water exchanger with a water connection on top is not for 986 IMHO.
  2. RFM
    A quick double push on the open/close button followed by a beep means interior alarm sensors off. ( in case you let your mother in law in the car and you lock the door by the remote ) The interior light switches on the roof panel are not illuminated over here.

    # 5 is probably a cracked rubber bellows in the bearing system on the main drive shaft to the chassis connection, the shaft bearing will hit the chassis by the power exchange ( from accel. to deccel. and vice versa )

    It means that the lip is available separately, if you order the spoiler, the lip is included.
  5. RFM
    The bulb + holder was not pushed far enough in the light, the heat of the lamp have destroyed the light IMHO.
  6. RFM
    Let the PCM check, if you have done an update by yourself that could be the problem.

    The most visible difference between leather and synthetic is the seam. Leather have a seam with textile wire, synthetic doesn't.

    Paul Check PM.

    The mileage is registered in the DME, visible on a vehicle analysis done by PIWIS tester.

    You have to remove the throttle body and the connected intake pipe to have access to the starter.
  11. RFM
    Make a flat open 22 mm key shorter.

    The rust is inside the booster, there is water infiltration via the flange seam of the booster.
  13. RFM
    It is indeed the switch/hook combination, you can stick a small rubber on the hook to have more pressure, or replace the switch.
  14. RFM
    If the car is equipped with memory seats, it is possible. Remove the driver seat and check the wiring from the control box to the carpet ( especially in the environment of the seat mechanism ) Unfortunately i cant remember the wire colors.
  15. RFM
    Just pull the lamp holder out of the trim and replace the lamp.
  16. RFM
    The red clip is useful on the 996 cabrio, it become possible to rise the both rear-side windows with the clip installed. I cant see directly any advantage on a 986.

    Porsche factory fill is Mobil 1 0W - 40. A lot of owners use Mobil 1 5W - 50 in turbo's, GT 3 and Cayenne GTS come alternative over here.
  18. RFM
    The black/white valve ( on the right ) and the tube ( on the left ) are connected to the rubber pieces which you have removed, and not with each other IMHO, take a good look before if it make sense. In this case your problem is still there.
  19. RFM
    Steam cleaning is not recommended, with water is possible if you use compressed air after cleaning to dry out the electric connectors. There is no distributor present on a 996 engine.
  20. RFM
    As far as i know, they don't have it.
  21. RFM
    Battery: between + and - Alternator: between exit ( big cable ) and ground All with engine running at idle.
  22. RFM
    Look how much volt the battery received with the engine running, do the same directly on the exit of the alternator ( difficult but possible ). If the difference is more than one volt, replace the cable alternator-starting motor-right side of the gearbox. There is nothing visible but the cable have too much transition resistance in the welding points under some conditions.
  23. RFM
    Let install a clear bra after the paint job.
  24. RFM
    Check or change the pump and DME relay and try again.
  25. RFM
    After reading the symptoms you describes, the leaking cylinders are not the cause but the result of a clutch mechanism failure. Let it check by a mechanic before you blow up the new cylinders again.
