    I did and it didn't get any better. I was able to return it and get a full refund from Autohaus AZ. I then ordered the correct MAF from Pelican Parts. Installed it Wednesday and cleared the CEL. Drove the car to let the monitors run and now I have no more CEL. It would seem to be fixed. So the advice on this site was spot on. Thanks everyone! :D

    Sorry, your car needs a 996.606.124.00. I did notice on the Pelican site that the other part number was specified for a '02-'04 C2/C4. I was surprised since the part number started with 986? Actually the MAF for MY02 and newer is a 986 number. I contacted the folks at Autohaus AZ this AM, and the rep said according to Bosch they are interchangeable. Do you think there is any harm in trying it out? Good Luck! Let us know if it works... Well, it didn't...at least not very smoothly. I let it run until the idle dropped, then blipped the throttle. It would have died had I not kept my foot on the pedal. So I swapped the old one back in...much better. Not ideal, however it'll work for now. In the meantime, I am attempting to exchange for the correct part.

    Sorry, your car needs a 996.606.124.00. Thanks, I kinda figured. Back it goes.

    Today I received a new MAF from Autohaus Arizona with part number 986.606.125. Is this interchangeable with my old one with part no. 996.606.124?? or do I have the incorrect one. I haven't tried it yet...
  7. diego996
    Has anyone used the special tool 9637 to check the MAF? Where would I find it?
  8. diego996
    Cleaned mine the other day. What an easy thing to do! It really helped smooth out my idle too.

    Got the CR replaced the other day, and took the old one over to a local radiator shop for a pressure test. Sure enough there was a crack below the seam along the outboard side. A visual inspection revealed other cracks but they didn't leak...yet. Hopefully, Porsche got the revised tank right. Thanks to all for informative posts and great DIY information. Knowledge is power!

    I did it on my '99 C43 AMG with no problems, however I babied it around until the newer tires broke in a little.
  11. diego996
    Thanks! What do you think is the best way to inspect the bellows for leaks?
  12. diego996
    Where in this diagram is the "bellows?" I am confused as to the location and access in my '00C2 6spd.
  13. diego996
    Yes that is correct.. they are whoring it out at that price :) Cost is $217.10 and Bosch is OEM :) You will end up finding out it is your MAF :) Promise. B Thanks! From what I've read, it sounds like you are probably right. I guess I was hoping these parts would last longer. I have other cars with many more miles that I've never replaced the MAF. Since I'm getting ONLY 1128 and NOT 1130 could it be the MAF? My mistake. I am getting both codes, just wasn't forwarding to the second DTC! I guess I will just "bite the bullet" or MAF in this case!!

    US MSRP is $652.81 - so that sounds like a good deal to me. I saw part no. 996.606.124.00 on Pelican Parts for $252.25 is this the right part? It's made by Bosch, is that OEM? Yes, 996.606.124.00 is correct for MY00 C2 I have only P1128 showing. I've read through the threads on the topic and I'm not ready to "throw in the towel" on air leaks and buy the MAF just yet. So I was wondering if its possible to inspect the bellows without removing the AOS on that side.

    It felt like the butterfly was under control by the actuator on my e-gas '00C2. Is is OK to use a little force?
  19. diego996
    I just was quoted $435.42 for a MAF for my 00C2 at Sunset Imports...does that sound right?? It's such a small part. I was speechless on the phone!
  20. diego996
    yeah, I've had other problems with Pioneer and the fellow you mentioned! That's why I love to drive by there and honk after reading how to DIY right here.
  21. diego996
    Great point! I also found it easier to just remove the "snorkel" from the AF housing or "airbox" it just slides off and makes plenty of room to access the CR.
  22. diego996
    I have what looks to be a leak from the coolant tank area. Any suggestions as to the best way to DIY?
  23. diego996
    I had the same problem with buttons on the radio. the radio was replaced under warranty.
  24. diego996
    Great, thanks!

    I have a 2000 996 with 34K miles that has an occasional leak from what appears to be the reservoir cap. I can see crust around the bottom of the cap and around the screw lip on the reservoir (see photo). The coolant appears to be dripping down the overflow hose and onto the driver's side muffler and onto the ground. I have topped off the reservoir and the temperature gauge reads 180 degrees when warm. Is this common?
