Appears to be the free wheeling pulley, and Amazon carries it for $250: http://www.amazon.com/Bosch-AL0815N-New-Alternator/dp/B000IYAAYE

First of all, welcome to RennTech :welcome: This is probably not a very common occurrence, so your service manager is going to need to contact PCNA, who may want to send someone out to look at the vehicle. Obviously, all this is going to take some time. You always have the option to go over their heads and contact PCNA directly as well. A word of advice in all this: It is fine to be firm, but not to let the dialog get to the point where bridges are being burned. It may be a warranty issue, or it may not. In any case, your insurance should also cover it as well. Good luck.

On an 05, TPMS was an option, so your car is not set up for it, but you can add it with an aftermarket kit. And use of TPMS became a federal requirement as of 2007, states had no say in it.

Make them tight, but don't try to kill them.

That is the A/C fan, I'm talking about the large passenger side fan. It also has a "box" attached to it. Here is my original question, I've already taken the fan out of the car and plugged in 12v with no "signal" wire....the doesn't run....which tells me that the signal wire is commanding the fan to come on. IMO this rules out the fan and module attached to it. But maybe I'm wrong? In my ORIGINL post, the 2 signal wires show 12v and ~.3V......I think it's the 12v that's triggering the fan to come on. Ahsai is correct in his assumption that either the Durametric system or the OEM PIWIS should be able to trigger the fan to run. I think yours should look something like this: Jeff, no offense, but triggering a fan to run, which is already running, isn't going to tell me anything. If I already know the trigger wire is hot when it shouldn't be, I need to figure out why that trigger wire is hot. Hence why I asked the question, where is this motor control unit. It is NOT the one on the fan housing. If you look at the wiring diagram, the module has only three wires, and it is connected between both fans.....if you look on the fan housing, and in your picture, they clearly are never connected until you trace back into the car side of the harness. OK, let's look at the basics: There are a limited number of things which can tell the DME to make the fan run, and at what speed; the coolant temperature sensor (which you have already eliminated) and the AC system during cooling or cold defrost. I would take a look at the AC system controls; if the AC system is not calling for the fans to run, the DME has a problem and is causing the false triggering. On your model, the Durametric can also scan the AC system as well as activating the fans, so that might be worth a look as well.

I always thought that device was a relay, just called by another name, as Porsche uses relays on their other earlier vehicles. After reading up on this device, apparently this new control unit eliminates the need for resistors to control fan speeds (which were always troublesome), and is also being used in the later cars as well. Learn something new every day. Thanks Ahsai. On the downside, instead of a $20 relay and a couple of resistors, now you need to jump for a $700+ fan assembly.

The red lines are hot water flowing to the radiators, the blue lines the cooled water returning to the engine. By disconnecting the line just before the thermostat housing, you should be able to run the system backwards and dislodge what can be gotten out. It will not be perfect, but it is your best shot. The big issue here is to try and dislodge any bits that are inside the cylinder heads.

Welcome to RennTech :welcome: You need to flush your system backwards to normal flow to try and get out as much of the impeller as possible:

Welcome to Renntech :welcome: You need to get a qualified body shop to look at the car and give you a breakdown on what is damaged, it is nearly impossible to estimate what is required from photos as they do not show the damge beneath the body work (supports, braces, etc.). Perhaps one of our North Jersey/NYC/Lower NY state members can chime in on good shop references.

Not really sure that will work; the 1998-2001 996 cars used the K03 cluster, while the 1997-2000 986 used the K01 cluster. Perhaps someone that has done this swap could chime in with more info..............

I belevie they are now also 75K, but I would check LN's website for the most updated information.

Item #12: Retails for just under $20. Jeff are you sure that's not the starter relay? What's the pn on it? # 141-951-253-B $18.79 One of three (#8): You may want to check that part number with a dealer, it has been superceeded more than once.

Item #12: Retails for just under $20.

You may have a bad relay on that fan; suggest pulling it while the fan is running, if it switches off, you found your problem.

Not really necessary with a power bleeder, just put the fluid in the power bleeder and have at it.

Until you have put the car up in the air and look to see what is actually leaking, you really do not know what you are dealing with. Oil leaks come from many places. Look into it first, then get back with your questions.

thanks JFP. Will Durametric reveal the fault? It should.

It is indicating a fault in the system, you need to get the vehicle scanned with a Porsche specific scan tool to find out what the problem is.

Yes, and then we blow them dry with compressed air so there is no lint. We flush solvent through the calipers as well, also followed by compressed air.

A lot of expense and effort if it is not the source. I would start by double checking the OEM part numbers against what Porsche lists. You can use Sunset Porsche's online parts system to do this. Was there any problem with the car's hydraulic system before you did the clutch?

We solvent clean the calipers and components, and then blow out the passages with compressed air.

Year and model is always helpful. Possible cam cover or plug tubes (depending upon year). It could be either. Suggest cleaning the area and then keep an eye on how it develops.

Yes, there could be pending codes which have not tripped the light yet.

Ok, the reason I asked is that it sounds like you are pushing the pressure plate over center (turning the fingers inside out), which will cause the pedal to stick to the floor. Are all the parts OEM or after market?
