Cabriolet headliner removal?
gofor28off replied to gofor28off's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
What covers are these? Where located and how to remove? -
Like most 996 owners I have issues with rattles in my 2002 cabriolet. There are excellent instructions for removal of the door panel, which I will use to attempt to locate a rattle in the passenger side door, but another rattle (more like constant tapping) is right above my head in the roof. If I reach up and press on the panel right above the driver seat the tapping stops. When I let go it is right back again. This developed last fall and is back this spring (car is not driven in winter). I have searched here and at Rennlist and cannot find anything on this. Can anyone tell me where I could find instructions to pull back the cabriolet headliner to inspect the roof to try to isolate and stop the tapping. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

DIY Throttle Body cleaning
gofor28off replied to Orient Express's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (996) - Maintenance
The car is still making the sound and it is caused by the intake air being sucked through the TB faster than the butterfly is opening causing the "bark." This became significantly louder right after the cleaning. I wonder if the cleaner I used is causing the butterfly to stick slightly causing slower movement, or it I pushed open too far or ???. I am considering trying some lubricant; such as silicone spray or WD-40. Does anyone see any problem with spraying a lubricant in and around the contact points of the TB and butterfly? (I would remove it first). One of my neighbors also has an '02 so I suppose I could try swapping the TB assemblies between the two cars and see if his makes the sound and mine doesn't after the swap. If that turns out to be the case I guess I will have to either live with it or buy a replacment TB. Cheers -
DIY Throttle Body cleaning
gofor28off replied to Orient Express's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (996) - Maintenance
I performed this service and now I have a "noise" when I quickly blip the throttle at idle. The noise is best described as a "pop" or "cough" and was not there before the cleaning and is also not there if I rev it smoothly rather than a quick blip, and is also not noticable when driving normally. Only heard when quickly blipping. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it possible the butterfly is sticking? Is there a lubricant that should be applied to the butterfly? Suggestions please. Thx
