    My 2002 C2 has had similar coolant leaks -- in my case, the connectors between the coolant lines under the vehicle (which are metal) and the rubber lines coming off the engine leaked only when I got off the gas. My Indy replaced for less than $100. The connectors are on the passenger side, above rear wheel well. Had the P0491/0492 codes too. Chased it for months. Turned out to be cracked vacuum cannister. Of course, replaced the electric valves during all this chasing... Good luck and enjoy the new ride. It will get fixed.

    Recently had a squeek. Turned out to be latch for rear seatback. Seatbelt got pinched in the release lever and prevented complete lock. Drove me nuts for a week. Darn child seats.

    Hello all, I hve exactly the same problem. What did you find out was the problem? In my case, it was the vacuum canister. Had a crack. Drove me nuts but no CEL's since it was replaced a month or so ago. Something that helped me eliminate the valves was to cycle them off and on with my durametric. You can hear them click, can hear the pump come on. After that, knew it had to be a vacuum leak somewhere. Of course, the vacuum canister was the last place I checked...

    The hardest part was picking the right "framework.net" version from Microsoft -- this was needed for the installation. I use mine all the time, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons...chasing CELs. Knock on wood (and thank you Renntech), I may finally be in the clear.

    Pretty much the same for your car - MY02 and newer 996 Carrera's use the same DME and most emissions components as 996TT. Hi Loren: The information is really great. Thank you. I've replaced the 3 valves, fixed a broken vacuum line (broken when replaced alternator) and replaced the "check valve" since it wasn't holding vacuum very well. I oriented the check valve so that there is nothing from the vacuum line entering the intake manifold. However, it gets me a periodic P0491 code. When I change the orientation, so that it's pulling air from the vacuum line, I haven't gotten a CEL, but throttle jumps up and down a little. Can you advise the correct orientation for the check valve? Should it prevent air from entering the intake manifold or should it allow air to be pulled from the vacuum line? Is that where the secondary air system gets it's vacuum? Final bit of information: when I take the vacuum line off the check valve, there doesn't appear to be any vacuum or pressure. Regardless of whether secondary air pump is blowing or not. Also, I tend to get just P0491, not both P0491 and P0492. Thanks for your advice, Dan

    Hello: I have the same codes with my 2002 996C2. Weird thing with my car is that the pump sometimes runs for a short period when I stop at stoplight, coming off freeway or after a steady 3 or 4 mile drive. I live in AZ, so don't think it's because engine is still cold. I've reset the CEL and observed that the CEL comes back on when I stop at stoplight. Usually not the 1st stop light, but a light 5 miles down the road. Since it's intemittent, and at wrong time, I suspect valves or vacuum leak. Is there a diagram available for my car? Thanks, Dan

    In my 2002 C2 Coupe, the sub amp was mounted on the same bracket as the main amp -- in the trunk behind the spare tire.

    Hi Hoth: Not sure what MY your vehicle is, but I removed the Bose amps (main amp plus subwoofer amp) from my 2002 996C2 (last of the non-MOST 911s) and have them listed on Craigslist (http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/757242975.html). I'm sure there are others out there on eBay also. Don't waste your money on a unit from the dealer. Hope this helps, Dan

    Try 8350 or 8348 It worked! Thank you very much, Loren.

    You should use Rockford Fosgate's 3SIXTY instead of the JL piece. In addition to removing the factory EQ (if needed), the unit has up to 6 channels in, 6 channels out (keep your fader and volume control), this cool subwoofer level knob which doubles as a AUX input level adjuster (you just push the knob and it automatically goes into AUX mode) and tons of EQ so you can take advantage of those speakers while overcoming the issues with them being installed in a car. There's even an EQ for the AUX input, so you can boost the extreme lows and highs to recover the losses from compression in your iPod. For clarification, MB Quart used to be owned by RF. Now owned by Maxxsonics. That's why they went down. I know I should describe my vehicle, I have an '02 C2 (6-spd) in Seal Grey, with grey interior over black carpet. A couple of DIY mods but will get more serious as the weather cools. My audio system is "in-process" and will post pics when done. I'm a fan of keeping the weight down, maximizing my interior space, and optimizing each component to get accurate and dynamic sound. :renntech:

    It's the clip that holds in the "bose" logo on the speaker grille. :renntech:
