Let me know if you got one: if not email me and I will send you a copy. pete993@hotmail.com

What are you seeking? Hoping it's a one off special; which will bring more money? Fix the Headlights.

Have the Instrument scanned for faults, If the oil level is too low, the car won't start. Follow your Owners Manual Instructions.

If you have a qualified repair shop there is no reason not to buy the Bell Housing. Porsche, like many other manufacturers, sell only complete units.

I would reset the airbag light first; drive around the block, and see if it returns. Might save $$$$$

Remember; the fault code is an end result; just because it lists the module as the "Fix" doesn't mean it's the original problem.

I agree with Pierre; a large expense with little benefit.

Either side. All you have to do is is be able to measure the play in the Turbine Shaft.  

Whichever side is the easiest to get to. Look for Oil ans excessive play in the Shaft.

If it's a little oil, that's normal. If there is major oil, it's a bad Turbo.

Remove the coolant resovoir and inspect the bottom. They crack and sometimes won't show up with pressure test. Replace it

No doubt; you have to have the system scanned with proper program. If any part was disconnected, the fault will stay.

Probably a cracked reservoir, needs to be replaced. I have done 5: not uncommon failure

Excessive gear rattle, and harsh engagment would be 2 of my reasons.

You have to take it to a Porsche dealer, and bring all the paperwork.

Good Luck

7.8 quarts are needed for initial filling. This is from the 996TT workshop manual.

I would drain the engine and refill slowly.

I would recommend the Durametric Pro system. Their support is very good. I have been using Durametric for about 5 years, with no problems.

Retrofitted to WHAT! Think about it; the problem wasn't there before your "Retrofit"

Hello! Take a look!

Several years back, there were reports of the same code and conditions (not throttle) in cars still under warranty, which was traced to software issues in the DME. While some DME's were replaced, Porsche supposedly came up with a DME re-flash that cured the issue. Before jumping for a new DME, contact PCNA ands see if your car can be re-flashed, which has to be one Hell of a lot cheaper............

Unless I am mistaken, this was all covered on the RennTech forum, so also do a search..
