    Thanks for the help, no I dont seem to be getting any other codes than the ones I have listed. The cold air pipe is shown below, lt really wakes the car's driving spirit. In order to fully explore this problem i need to see what voltage readings are on the O2, & MAF sensors, so i can compare voltages to other cars. The resister idea might be necessary if no real problems are found. No CEL yet on the trip to or from work today. Im off to go look at the CARCHIP/EX data recorder for OBD. I'll keep you posted on the light status, I would like to think cleaning the MAF would solve the problem, but I have my doubts about that, seems too easy. thanks D_MAN

    Hey, 996 Guy's Need advice. I had these codes awhile back on my 996 C2 Tip, I have reset the codes and after 30 min's of driving the exact codes came back. P1124 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1126 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold So the car is running rich right, The only mods I have done to the car is an AireTech Cold air pipe that make a few more HP , So the car is getting plenty of Air compared to stock. No problems on the Kick in the seat area. I took the MAF out and cleaned is with CRC electronics cleaner "Quick Drying formula" and reset the CEL. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this problem. Any ideas? Here is a picture of my MAF. How do I know which version I have? Thanks D_Man :eek:

    Hi Has anyone done the resealing procedure on the Oil pan on the 996? I have a fresh tube of Loctite 5900 FLACHENDICHTUNG (Flange sealant). Anyone done it? Any Tips? Besides lots of Rags? Thanks

    Hi Im considering performing the spoiler switch mod, anyone know what the cost is on the switch? Pn. 996.613.155.00 A02 Thanks

    Hey If your looking for a transmission you might want to consider these guys. http://www.911pcar.com/Porsche_Parts/porsc...ansmissions.htm In Los Angles, these folks have lots of take off's. It's sort of sad that with an expensive car like the 996, the transmission cannot be repaired by anyone other than the factory. I hope this changes in the future, as the 996 cars get older the demand for replacment parts will be tremendous, and I know there will have to be parts released for internal engine and transmission repair. Would'nt it seem So?

    Do the pss9's stay aligned well. Also how is the ride on those, compared to the RoW sport or USA sport suspension? So I hear the RoW sport suspension is as good as it get's for the best of both worlds, daily drive and autocrossing. One time I put adjustable coilover shocks on an RX7 and it was a real tight ride. Thanks

    I had a similer experince, If the armrest is the least bit ajar the central locking system will advise you. I pretty sure if the trunk or engine compartment is ajar it will do the same honk honk signal.

    The solenoid cover seems to be the culprit, Its not leaking heavy when I get under the car I dont see any drop's forming. I can see it looks oily in the area around the solenoid cover. Perhaps I'll get a drip pan and be done with it. All car's leak oil, I havent seen one yet that was totaly oil leak free.
  9. D_Man
    Loren would you have a diagram of this sensor cover on the left side of my 3.4 engine. the leak is getting worse, a 12 inch puddle of oil has developed on the floor of the garage. Has anyone had this issue? Please help Thanks

    Thanks Loren Im goin to upgrade my car to a M030 sport suspension, more than enough for a car being driven daily. D Man

    996.333.055.XX is the part number of USA standard rear shock. The following link explains more than the average person should know about the 996 suspension options. http://www.pca.org/panorama/sample_article_3.html One other way to determine if your car was ordered from the factory with the M030 option is to look at the option codes on the sticker under the trunk.

    Will the X74 suspension components fit on a 1999 996?
  13. D_Man
    I aggree PCCB is a great option if you are getting it installed as an option as new. However I would never spend $9000 to put them on a stock 996. I think the RoW sport suspension is a great upgrade $ for $.

    I'm thinking that the tiptronic servicing might be something I let the dealer do. Since this requires a special pump to fill it with and the PST2. Doesn't sound as easy as a Manual or Old style automatic X-mission.

    It's like a desk ornament to keep and look at work while your dreaming of working on the Porsche at the day job.

    Need experts to assist! OK so I bought these nice Silver painted AC vent's at a swap meet for $5 ea. now I want to to install them. They dont match my all black trim but I wanted to see what they would look like installed. Hey $5 you cant go wrong. I tried removing the passenger AC vet and it was easy three screws and its out. The last screw is under the cover. The problem side is the AC vent on the driver side has the Headlight switch installed and I have no idea how to remove the switch inorder to get to the inside screw. Anyone got the trick on this? Thanks D Man

    I have noticed sometimes in Manual mode (only), I notice when rolling to a stop and shifting from 2nd to 1st I get a Jerk or shudder going in to the lowest gear. The normal method when starting in manual mode, the transmission automatically go's into 1st gear all other subsiquent stops the transmission downs shifts to 2nd when rolling to stop's. Sort of off topic but relivent to tiptronic. D Man

    Hi, I have a 99 996 narrow body C2 Tip car and the car will move out very aggressively when the gas pedal is place to the floor. The Way I would test this is find a nice long freeway entrance ramp and perform one full acceleration using the A (automatic mode) up to say 80+. Then do one full acceleration on the same ramp using M (manual mode) shifting. The tiptronic car are smooth in normal driving but can be awaken to a full blown sports car by opening the throttle. The car should not make unusual noises but it might be making noises you are not used to hearing if you do not drive in the upper power band. The tiptronic is neat, they even put them on Turbo's now.

    Brakes PCCB brakes are really over cost considering the eight piston Brembo brake options available are about half the cost. This place does alot of Turbo development work. http://www.scargoracing.com/ Exotic Suspension parts for Porsche's TT cars as well. http://www.4induktion.com/porsche.html this is a nice Turbo link http://www.911turbo.com/ Good Luck

    "Spend the money learning how to drive it." Gee what a good point! Hey Techart has some very nice options for your car. Most Porsche guys like to trick out thier cars So I understand It's natural. I dont have a Turbo just a 1999 Narrow body C2 996. But I have pondered my future upgrades and here's what I would do. 1. Suspension (If not a RoW or Sport package car) I would think all Turbos sport suspension But you can make them better. 2. BodyKit Tech Art. 3. Wheels GT style. 4. Tires (Pilot Sport SP are really nice) 5. The Man was right Drive, Drive , Drive thats the only way you will learn your car. Here's a link for you on people that are upgrading turbo cars. http://hobbystage.net/porsche/members.cgi Good Luck Dennis

    Hi I just did my brakes recently, I pondered the same questions. I replaced pads front and read as well as new rotors on the front brakes. The rear calipers use two small dampeners on each pad (4 per side) that resemble a suction cup I was able to pry the pads off these dampeners using a putty knife and reuse them again. I would suggest replacing them if doing it all over. The rear dampeners are different sizes so be careful when putting them back in. I found the trick was to place the dampeners back on the piston after the pads were removed on each caliper with the caliper pistons being fully pushed back in. Was a little tedious but not impossible. The fronts are easier it was a matter of prying the pad off the dampener again but the front dampeners are a different style as you might have seen. The front dampeners did not fall out like the rears when prying the pad away from them. But basically the dampeners are there to cut out any noise, I would most defiantly use Porsche parts on things like caliper bolts, dampeners etc. This site really helped me when I was preparing to do my brakes on my car. Good Luck. Dennis
