In 2004 there was 2 turbo s coupe produce and 3 turbo S cabriolet produce...In 2005 598 turbo S coupe and 960 turbo S cabriolet... "The companion..." No mention how many X50 produce....

I wonder if the belt is route properly.... And yes you can do it wrong!!!

I got the same one in aluminum (bottom left of your picture). Please don't be stupid like me, remember to remove them before you go for a ride ;-) I did but was lucky to found the missing one about 1 kilometer from home! Now I got a red flag on each of them! "Remove before flight"

For the TT the size is 5/8 and I am using a Craftsman spark plug socket. It got a rubber ring inside to hold the plug when removing...

The holding device is besides (metal loop) the steering pump reservoir....

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks White!!! Every year I send my engine oil to Blackstone for analysis but didn't know you can do the tranny oil also!!!! Thanks for both "free" tips!!!LOL!!!!

I will start my research for exactly what Porsche is asking which is Mobilube PTX 75W90 and as per your recommendation. Thanks for your help and comment JFP and Silver_TT.

Thanks Loren... I am searching through the net about the oil . The repair manual mention Mobilube PTX 75W90 but I have found some info mentioning it is replaced by Delvac 75W90 gear oil. Can you confirm?

Before I start I would like to know if I got all the parts. Repair manual mention only one o-ring for the drain plug of the manual transmission which is part#900 123 118 30. That mean there are no seals on the fill port???Also there is no mention of any o-rings on the fill or drain port for the front wheel drive and could not see any in the parts catalog? Anybody got any experience with those transmissions servicing? Thanks a lot, J.P.

Does it help?

if you don't have any sign of fluid in the steering reservoir you better looked at the clutch reservoir if it is not overfilled. If it is you've got a slave problem...

Ok just found some....http://www.lnengineering.com/spinonfilteradapter.html...We learn every day.....

I didn't know and never saw one. Can you give me a link to one of those or a part# to search. Thanks for the info J.F....

Never heard of this modification before and I never heard of a filter that will fit in this position. Also I always open my filter to see if there are any metal particles in them. If it is a metal canister that make the job more difficult.. It is so simple to replace the oem filter has it is, I don't see the advantage + it is easily accessible.... I prefer to stay away from this type of mods, after all we are talking about the lubrication which is vital for a combustion engine

I know most of multimeter got a fuse to protect themselves but I don't recommend you to do try it. We know it was pulling too much load....

Spare time today, it is raining in Montreal so I did a little bit of work on the car , replacing the passenger window regulator because the window was not coming down enough to clear the seal. Found the skates on the regulator carriers completely worn.... Also did a measurement of the amperage required to operate the engine compartment fan: 2.6 amps cruising speed, not at start!!! Hope this help for future reference and before you throw your fan in the garbage Silver ;-)

Another happy ending!!!!! I am happy for you Silver!!!!

I guess your car is a normal turbo...There is some contradictions....The part# 996 343 792 16 you are looking at seems to be for a GT2 even if Pelican mention it for turbo and GT3 and GT2....:

For the turbo it seems to be part# 996 343 792 12 and Pelican mention it is for Boxster???

Mike, if your are driving your Porsche we can look at it together!!! You are welcome at home anytime or I can meet you in a bar!!! First time in Montreal?

Hey hey Mike!!! Welcome to Renntech. I already mention on Rennlist that I am suspecting one of the sense line coming to or going from the N75 valve also called by Porsche cycle valve or timing valve. After you removed the airbox and also the intake assembly (not a big job) you will found a lot of small black sense lines. Look closely to see if they are attach properly in every position and has far you can see. Going to the right towards the recirculation air pump and also to the N75 valve. This is a grey small plastic rectangular box with sense line going to it and also an electrical plug. It is located just below the fuel cooler. See pictures for help....Remember you can get the repair manual for the TT on 6speed if you need direction for the removal of the airbox or the intake: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996-turbo-gt2/228714-ok-guys-here-link-shop-manuals.html

Agree with the three gentlemen especially you are talking about 25 minutes sessions and the outside temperature at 80'F!!! I'm sure you will get some more track time since the summer is only starting!
