  1. Could someone help me locate the reverse signal wire in the cabin of a 997.1 manual transmission?
  2. Just completed the exhaust mod with 2 inch pipe across the inlet and outlet pipes on 06 C4S. It sounds pretty good, but personally, I think it is a bit loud specially when the top is down, perhaps a smaller diameter would work better. Here is my question, is there any performance hindrance with this mod?
  3. not sure, the clutch feels pretty good. the car only has 8000 miles.
  4. the clutch pedal on my 06 C4S travels far down, there is a good 2 to 3 inches of dead zone before the engagement. I have noticed a bolt sticking out from the floor right behind the clutch pedal. Has anyone try to make a pedal stopper or knows where to buy one if it's out there? thanks
  5. Hi all, I have a 2000 Carrera 4. As far as I know in 2000, there is only one engine to choose from which is 3.4 flat 6. Just cleaning the car the other day, and realized a sticker under the engine lid which showed Displacement 3596 cc. Can anyone help me understand this? thank you.
  6. I think it's number 5. it goes right under the main bulb (headlight)
  7. I think I have mistaken the bulb. I meant the one inside of the Liptronic lamp. There is a small bulb in there, it turns on when with the parking lights are on. thanks.
  8. Hi, Can some one help me find the part number for 2000 C4 parking lamb bulb? Thank you.
  9. Loren, Is it the same part number for MY00 C4? Fuel pump 996.620.103.00? thanks
  10. The oil cap seems to sit tight and I can't see any crack on the oil tube visually. Is it bad to drive with a bad MAF, could it cause misfire? Yesterday the car had a flashing CEL, code read cylinder misfire, I let it sit over night, disconnect the battery to reset system and it seem to drive fine now. But whatever it is, I think I better get it fixed asap. ps. I have the durametric tool, and the RKAT readings are way out of the suggested value from the durametric people. I was told it's most likely a bad MAF, but I am suspicious of other issues.
  11. just got the MAF, installed it, disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. Drove for 15 minutes, CEL came back again, same thing. What else should I look into? Thanks
  12. yes, drives well with MAF unplugged. so I guess next step is to buy another MAF. Should I still look for vacuum leaks or the source of the problem since something has to cost the MAF to go bad in the first place?
  13. extrememoto, have you recently replaced the MAF? this code and the running condition you describe with no detection of a vacuum leak is usually a MAF. do one test and disconnect the MAF and drive it, see if it runs better. Let me know, Ron Yes, I did replace the MAF about 3,000 miles ago. I got it new from ebay, perhaps that’s the problem. I will try run the car later with the MAF off. Can I narrow this problem down to either MAF or vacuum leak? The filter is factory paper filter.

  15. 2000 C4 Tip, 30,000 Miles, no intake mod. Sorry, another MAF related issue, I have spent hours reading this forum, but still would like to get some opinion. Here is the story. About 3,000 miles ago, the CEL came on, 1128 and 1130. Swapped out the MAF, drove perfect for 3,000 miles. Yesterday, all of the sudden at a red like, the engine stalled and started to drive poorly, but after I let the engine run for about 5 minutes, I was able to get it home however at around 3 to 4k rpm, it feels like fuel starvation, hesitation and stumbles. Several miles later, the CEL came on, 1126 and 1133. The car drives much better with the CEL on, no power lost at mid range. After I cleared the CEL, the car drives poorly again, and had to let the engine run for 5 minute before I can take it on the road, once again mid range problem appeared. Based on what was described, is it the MAF again? I have tried to look for intake leaks, but couldn’t really find one. Thanks in advance.
  16. Greetings, I've been having this problem quite sometimes but now it’s more pronounced now. 2000 Carrera C4 Tiptronic 30,000 Miles Feels like there is a 2nd and a half gear. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd (both manual and auto mode). Third gear doesn’t engage until another gear was engaged momentarily (not second gear). This couple of days, the problem feels more sever, after second gear the engine revs a bit higher as if it’s in neutral then it engage onto third gear. All other gears work fine, no CEL. I am in Miami Florida, weather is warm, and I did notice that the problem is more pronounced when the operating temperature is not up to norm. Please advice, thank you.
  17. Loren, I've noticed that the type is 4465 instead of 4462 I am not sure if that's why the code doesn't work cdr-220 ser: 15005703 I might have to go becker or dealer :(
  18. Please decode, much thanks. CDR-220 Type: 4462 Seri: 15005703
