    Hello everyone,

    I couldn't find a DIY on oil change on a 996 TT

    The book shows i can use 0W-40, 5W-40 or 5W-50.

    Does anyone know

    1-How many places I need to drain oil from ?? I was told 3 places, 2 turbos and the motor.

    2-Which oil should I use ? I live in So cal so the weather is between 60 and 90 degrees most of the time .

    996 TT ABS Kicks in on right turn braking

    in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2

    Posted · Edited by fredkhaz

    Hello everyone,

    I just picked up a 996 TT with 88,000 miles on it (90k service was just dont $3k), replacing my 996 C2 with 181,000 miles on it.

    the ABS (passenger right corner) kicks in when i apply brakes when making a long right right turn. it feels that the brake paddle pushes back up also.

    I think i felt the same thing in my 996 C2 once or twice before but with the steering wheels was turned almost all the way left or right.

    Any idea ???

    Now today i noticed that the PSM light comes on when that happens.

    My new daily driver 2002 996 TT Tip

    in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)

    Posted · Edited by fredkhaz

    Congrats on the new car! If it were me and I had the room I would keep the Carrera. regarding the mods.. Just be aware that you will be going through lots of front spoiler lips if you lower the car. But it will look cool :rolleyes: And you will lose a bit of ride quality (depending on the springs you choose.)

    That exhaust system looks nice. Haven't heard of that brand though.

    The specs on that K & N filter says "Not legal in California" that could be a problem for you during smog checks and could cause a CEL. Perhaps you're planning to put the stock box back on when it's time for smog.

    Now you have two... I love it...:clapping:

    Enjoy!

    Thanks but where does it say K&N is not legal in CA ??

    I have the same Filter for my 996 C2 and passes smog every time :)

    2000 996 C2 Tip with 181000 miles

    great thx

    i was going to sell the 2000 996 cuz i got a 2002 996 TT

    but looking at all the rig u have i am having a 2nd thought ...

    hmm

    :drive:

    Hello everyone,

    I have 2000 996 C2 Tip with 181,000 miles on it ..

    the brake wear light has been on for a while and i thought i need new brakes in the front

    so i just change the pads, but the light (Brake Wear) stays on..

    is the dealer or a porsche mechanic the only one that can turn that light off ??

    If you did not do so, you probably need to change the wear sensors. One on each side. And I think on a 2000 you can disconnect the battery for a few minutes to reset the computer. That should do it. Unless you changed the front brakes, and it is actually the rear brake sensors that are triggering the light?

    Good luck.

    LOL i did not put the miles, has 88,000 miles mostly freeway

    he did 60 freeway miles each day to work and back for 5 years he doesnt work full time.

    You can get order new trim parts from any Porsche dealer, or try Sunset Imports: http://www.renntech....ffers&do=sunset

    Has it done mega-miles? Is that why the trade-in offer was low?

    Generally speaking, Porsches in the US are cheaper than here in the UK, but (without knowing more details) that seems like a very good buy.

    Interesting...at what milage do you plan an engine work over? Regarding the PDK...would be intersted in it too...do you know how much will need to be changed i.e. is it plug and play gearbox or do you also need other parts and what about the different computer systems?
