  1. Forgot to mention before you start the process you also need all the keys related to your car….
  2. Yes the key has to have a 24 digits code that you will need. But the IPAS code can only be found at the dealership. If you do a search with "IPAS code" you will found some Porsche owners having difficulty to get them But according to Porsche North America they have to give it to you. The IPAS code are a series of programming keys (numbers+ letters) to enter in the different system specific to your car: Here's a picture of what you should get…. Some people got them easily just by presenting a proof of ownership to the dealer. Picture show the code title but I removed the keys which are numbers and letters besides every single system related to….
  3. In the repair manual page 1155. You have to follow all the steps in order. I hope you are aware you will need, to start the process, your IPAS codes!
  4. Another happy customer!!! Great job JFP!!!
  5. If you look at the wiring diagram the relay part# is 996 618 103 00 not the one you have :996.618.113.00 ??? You said you look at the fuse, C9 is the fuse to look for. I just hope you look at the proper one….
  6. I got 996 618 103 00 has a part# for the headlight washer relay??? (MY2002) Fuse C9 is the fuse for the headlight cleaners ….
  7. Can you hear the pump starting? If you think your pump is at fault, according to the repair manual page 1121, you have to remove the reservoir to reach the pump…Never did this job on the TT…. Yes it is behind the left wheel housing liner….
  8. It can be the sender that failed often but my guess is one of the two wires going to it is loose….It is a small, gold in color, canister located just behind the oil filter housing….
  9. Your car is a 2001. The number you are posting is for a canadian car in kilometers….??? … There is one on Ebay for $400.00 but in MPH! http://www.ebay.com/itm/996-641-213-0470-C-PORSCHE-2002-911-TURBO-SPEEDOMETER-SPEEDO-CLUSTER-29674-Mile-/281524583179?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item418c2c3b0b&vxp=mtr. You can put the digital in kilometers per hour even if the analog is in mph...
  10. May be Loren can give us an answer about the mileage adjustment in case of cluster replacement. May be this info is registered by the ECU….Hope we will get an answer to that….
  11. Also, I remember reading about a shop that fix clusters….I got one in england but don't know how reliable they are http://www.cartronix.co.uk/ And this one in US http://vdorepair.com
  12. Looking at the diagnostic manual I have found some info. Behind the cluster you got three plugs. The middle one is the B plug (blue) and the pin #2 on this plug is for the oil level sensor. Also the is a fault code 9123 which is related to oil level indication and got some test to follow...
  13. Repair manual page 1709. You will need a PST2 or the newest Porsche tool PIWIS….
  14. The OEM is part# 9965053550001C but it is black and it is expensive, around $420.00. You can get a replacement on Ebay for less than $100.00 (also black). Just do a search for "porsche 996 turbo front lip" and you will get a lot of buyers options…But in every cases it need to be painted…. See this thread:http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/351234-front-lip-spoiler-options.html and here: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/197240-front-lip-removal-installation-bayson-lip.html
  15. Loren, the master of this site probably will have an answer for you!
  16. You better get another look at the slave attachment. If you found it loose there is a problem. The slave is attach to the transmission with two bolts M10 x 35. It should be tight and if it is loose may be it jumped off the clutch fork… Look at the slave on the picture, you will see the two attaching point. Look if the bolts are still there and if the lugs are not broken… I've made a DIY for the slave replacement. You can found it here if you became a Renntech contributor! :http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/97-clutch-slave-cylinder-and-accumulator-replacement/ Note: you don't need to remove the transmission or clutch to replace a slave. It is about a three hours job including bleeding….
  17. Great community! RangerDick and Loren you rock!!! Too bad I live so far from Roseville California :notworthy:
  18. Welcome Wross! But sometimes I'm afraid of scaring future owner with this link :oops:
  19. Yessss I'm happy to see somebody else coming with good informations about TT maintenance. Thanks Silver_TT ! Loren, JFP, RFM, Wross and Silver_TT are active members and are names to look for. Many of them have lot more experience than I have!!!! After you will get the modding addiction, first exhaust and after a tune, you will be amazed like I am!!!! Lots of power hidden in these cars without affecting the reliability and longevity!!!
  20. Humm, being from Montreal I don't have any choices, I order from States LOL!!! When I took my engine out two years ago I had close to $1000.00 of parts to order and here's what I've found: I was always using "Pelican parts" in the past but prices went up in the last years ???http://www.pelicanparts.com Some people use Suncoast and are happy about them but expensive delivery to Canada. http://www.suncoastparts.com. I really like Sonnen in California. Lots of parts in stock, very nice customer service, they use Fedex, and the prices are really good. http://sonnenporscheoemparts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=215405. I forgot to mention, a very good online parts catalog is AutoAtlanta. Exactly like the Porsche cats. Very useful: http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-parts/996t-99-05/porsche_911_parts.php….This is from my own personal experience but I'm sure someone else will come with more suggestions. I hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in about your questions ;-) I got three german cars, BMW, Mercedes and the Porsche , and sometimes it is useful for me to use ECS tuning, because they got parts for all these brands but you have to be careful with the prices….http://www.ecstuning.com
  21. I was like you, afraid of maintenance but it is not so difficult….First of all you can get the Porsche 996 turbo repair manual (pdf) here: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/228714-ok-guys-here-link-shop-manuals.html. To work on a TT one of the best tool to get (other than wrenches etc) is a Durametric http://www.durametric.com. It is important to get the fault code to troubleshoot properly...I also got a BMW (always broken) and if you can work on these cars you can work on your Porsche. The access is a lot more difficult but there are ways to lower the engine about 4 inches to access some components on top of the engine. Finally the ultimate tool is the forums, the Renntech forum is one of the best and got a section with the DIY!!! Lots of valuable informations and lots of people to help you if in need. After a while you will discover who you thrust LOL!!!! Good luck and please don't be afraid!
  22. I do not believe in battery fluid shift???? The last thing you touch before this fault came on, that can be related to a PSM ABS message, was the MAF. I got tendency to think also your MAF is at fault. Get some CRC Maf cleaner from Canadian tire. It is good stuff and worth to give it a try, only $8.49 a bottle. Do not touch any elements only spray them and let it evaporate…. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/mass-air-flow-sensor-cleaner-0381704p.html#.VEkkbEuJIxI
  23. Happy to help Silver_TT! I did my diverter valves that way and the oil pressure transducer without bleeding LOL!!!!
  24. Here's a link on how to lower the engine : http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/159600-2-bolts-drop-tt-engine.html
  25. Hummm strange… Here's the picture of the oil sensor location. Just by lowering the engine about 4 inches you can reach this area. If needed the air pump can be removed…Wiring check can also be done because being in the right side of the engine the engine connectors (2 big round plugs) are also located on the right side. You can save lots of money by lowering the engine instead of dropping the engine. Same thing for the oil pressure sensor, which got nothing to do with your failure….
