hey gofot28

Did you manange to fix the problem? I'm about to do this on my car and I'm wondering if it works?? Thanks

yes. I loosend the bracket, if try to take it out from the top it hits the bracket and the same happens in the bottom, but in the bottom it also hits a small water hose that's made out of metal . Could it be that I have the car on jack stands intead of the ground? Or should I completely remove the bolts from the bracket

I finally took it out. Had to loosen a few other hoses but finally got thanks

loren, i need your help!!!

i followed all the diy instruction on removing the water pump. i got all the screws off the water pump, but my problem is that it wont come out, i tried taking it out trough the top and theres not enough clearance, and i tried the bottom and its the same problem. Do you know if the water pump comes out the top or the bottom? and if theres any specific angle or something else i can do to take out the pump? thanks in advance.

For a MY03 996 the correct plugs are FGR 5KQE0 - part number 999.170.223.90

Looks like they gave you Cayenne plugs.

thanks Loren , i appreciate all your help :D

one quick question Loren

i went to my local Porsche dealer (porsche of downtown L.A). i have a 03 996 and they gave me spark plugs with the # 999 170 221 90. Are they the correct ones? Can i use these? i already took out the old ones and the tip is completely different. please let me know what i can do. thank you

one quick question!

i have an 03 carrera cab 6 spd with 65k on it. i live in los angeles, Ca. so the weather is hot most of the year. In the manual it recomends to use a 15w40/10w40 or 20 w50/15w40 or 20w40/ 15w50 if the temp is over 50f. so what should i use? so far ive only managed to find 10w40 and 15w50. what do you recommend. thank you

Approved oils (on Porsche's list) as of April 2007 include only -

Synthetic oils that are:

0W-40

5W-40

5W-50

The Porsche TSB supersedes any manuals statements.

Any of the listed oils will work fine.

thank you
