Thanks.

Hi there,
I have a 2000 996 C2, I am looking to upgrade the front brakes.
Would like bigger discs up front and 6 pot calipers (as fitted to the Turbo.
What are my options? how involved is this?
Thanks.
-
Okay, the problem was the main fuse, it had blown.
Now replaced all fine...
-
The threads I posted said how to solve your alarm going off after a dead battery and how to replace the ignition switch.
There are many many threads on releasing the front bonnet latch.
So, I guess I don't understand what problem has not been addressed...
I managed to fit the ignition switch.
Regrettably the alarm problem is not as simple as whats posted in the threads you quoted.
Still no power to the clocks, alarm is still screaming, turn signals are continously flashing.
Battery is not flat, its fully charged, disconnecting the battery does not help, all fuses are fine.

Any user had this issue, but nobody address it, I wonder if he solved it :(
-
I have checked all those threads (and previously read them when searching), unfortunately they supply no information or assistance with my problem.
-
Please try our Search function - these topics have been covered here before - UK cars are special in this regard.
With respect, I have spent the last 3 hours searching through threads on this site, all to no avail.
If anyone else has any input that could help me I would be most grateful.

Hi guys,
996 C2 - 1999 - UK RHD.
I have a problem and need some urgent assistance, I would be very greatful for any assistance..
A couple of days ago I had a problem with the ignition switch, a quick search on this site I found it to be a faulty ignition switch. This morning I purchased a new one from a VW store and decided to carry out the task myself. I was taking the car apart and attempting to remove the existing ignition switch, however the two screws (covered in red paint) won't shift.
I had to go off and come back to the car later on, I locked the car using the key and came back to it about 30 mins later and the alarm started going off and the car would not start, there is no power to the dash and the car does not turn over.
I have checked the fuses, they look fine, as far as I can see, I have disconnected the battery and reconnected, this hasn't done anything. (however I only disconnected the battery for a few seconds, I'm an idiot, should have been at least 10 mins)
I have locked the car and unlocked it and still no go.
I now cannot open the front boot/trunk the lever is "locked" in place, no force will help, in addition the rear engine compartment lid lever is also locked in place. I cannot get into the front boot to disconnect or check the battery..
Does anybody have any ideas?
- is there a way to reset the alarm/immobilizer?
- how do I release the front boot lock on the 99 model (mechanical system)
- anybody come across this problem before?
I am really stuck, I would really appreciate any advice or ideas. :( :( :(
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help, will try swapping out the relays tomorrow morning, if not will get the fan unit changed...
-
I have the same problem and searched the forum to no avail. My manual says "see qualified technician for relays" and has no info on the layout/schematic of the relay holder. If the fan works on "high", I would think it the relay or the ballast resistor. I will be watching for a reply.
James
Hi James,
I have just located the relays, they sit under the dash (drivers side).
However not sure what relay does what.
And as you say it may well be the resistor, which I assume sits on the fan unit?

Hi guys,
I have a C2 with two rad.
One of the fans is not working on low speed, however it works on high speed.
I have read that there are four relays [Relays 19 and 21(low) and 20 and 22(high)] - where are these located?
I need to swap out relays and find out if it is a faulty relay or a fauly fan.
Thanks in advance.

Sounds great, as before well done, now go drive!

Check out my thread: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;#entry65937
Its very simple.
thanks - does sound easy - what the best way to then route the cable through to the dash?? I'm looking for the easiest way of course!!! Hoping there may be a way to shortcut removing too many trim panels.
I'm reoving the handbrake and centre console to route an IPOD cable into the storage tray/armrest - how do I get from the hood storage area to the centre consol (handbrake bit)??
Grateful - this is sounding quite possible even with my limited skillset!
thanks
Alex
Hi Alex,
Best way to route the cable though to the dash would be via the centre console. Taking apart a Porsche is pretty easy, most thing just clip in and out.
To access the front hood to cabin check out this thread: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...hl=cabin+access
Let us know how you get on.

Looks like a nice job, well done.
Can you post up a sound clip?

Well I done this mod on my car last week using mkI silencers, I used a narrower pipe and there is only a small improvement in sound (mainly high revs).
I am a bit disappointed, but its partly my fault as I though too thick a pipe would be overly loud.
I will buy a set of mkII silencer, use a think pipe and someone is building a valve with a electronic switch, will let you know how I get on and post up results.
-
Excellent replies!
Thank you very much :)
-
Me too, I think there is a tunnel that runs through the car, ie the transmittion tunnel, maybe someone has some photos, diagrams or an easier route.
Thanks.

Hey guys,
I need to routing a wire from the engine bay into the cabin how is this possible without drilling... etc...
Thanks for your help.
p.s. today we modified my mk1 exhausts with the bypass pipe, a bit disappointed, sound is o.k - not much louder.
The rasp has improved by the throatyness still not heard :(
Looks like the best option is a set of PSE's...
