Cabrio locking hook.
milleplod replied to milleplod's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Hi Pete. Thanks for the reply. I called the local OPC yesterday morning, and got a pleasant surprise....£11.50, delivered to my door! :D (I also ordered the rear window seals ('gaskets' in the parts book) that fit to the leading edge of the glass....£6 per side.... I thought they would be much more expensive!). :D Pete -
Afternoon all. The Cabrio's roof started playing up today....towards the end of the closure cycle, the hook that locks into the header rail kept locking/unlocking, and the light on the instrument panel wouldn't go out. Investigation shows that the hook is encased in plastic, some of which has cracked and broken off, as well as the very end piece of the hook. It was presumably the end piece of the hook that triggered the 'lock' into the header rail. I've managed to do a temporary repair that at least means the hood now locks properly, but I wondered if anyone knows if the part is available seperately. I'd also thought a repair with something like 'plastic metal' might suffice, especially if I have to buy a complete hood to get a new hook!! :o Pete

Water leak?
milleplod replied to milleplod's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks for that Jeff. Its definitely the expansion tank, so one's on order. Pete -
Evening all. My wife has a '99 996 Cabrio. I noticed the other day what I thought was an oil leak, the oil dropping to the left of the car at the rear (when viewed from behind) directly under the exhaust tip. Further investigation reveals it to be water that's picked up dirt on its way through the engine bay (hence my thinking it was oil). I've looked under the engine cover, and can see dampness high on the left hand side - there's quite a few pipes up there around the expansion tank area, but I can't work out just where the water's coming from. Any ideas anyone....what lurks up there?! :rolleyes: Pete
