  1. I don't think it applies to me... my engine bay, including all wiring is brand spaking new... :( I saw it...
  2. Hello All, Alright, I have that mighty problem that is kinda annoying. My car has 20k miles on it. When I start the car, the volt reading is 13.8V steady. After about5 minutes at idle, it suddently drops to 11.8-12.2V and will not come back. Even If I take the car for a spin, it will not read more than 12v. I had the alternator out yesterday and sent it to a rebuilt shop. The guy called me this morning and told me the alternator is like new. He said it is showing 13.8V no load and 12.9V full load, wich he said is good and needs no maintenance. When I get back home, I put the car on the charger again so I can restart it next time, otherwise I will have a dead battery. I have NO lights or msg... I tried like someone here suggested to start the car and unplug the battery, well, the car did not died and all electronics was still working (but I did that within the first 5 minutes of idleing). All ground wire are tight, Hope you can help. Thanks
  3. Thanks for all the help... Can someone point me out where is the ground wires I need to check ? Thanks
  4. Hi There, I need some help. My 2004 994 TT Cab refuse to start for absolutely no reasons. I thought it was the battery so I bought a brand new one and had it fully charged/installed. When I turn the key to start, I hear a single "CLICK", coming from under the car, but not CLICK CLICK CLICK (like it does when low batt).... That Single click I hear is definitevely coming from the starter. Then, a message in the dash says "Error, check BAttery/Alternator"... LAst week, we removed the engine to change the clutch, but I was able to start the car about 3 times since then (100miles)... (btw, I did press the clutch and the clutch switch is working properly) Anyone know what can be my problem ? Thanks
  5. Hi, I have the RemoteTop and SmartTop from Wilhelmy (that will allow you to open your top with the car key) on my car. When I try to open the top from inside, I do it as usual with the button but nothing happens. No light, no sound, no click, nada ! When I get out of the car and try to open the top with the key, It will work BUT something is different. In the past, the windows used to go down and THEn the top opens up, but now, the windows does not move at all and the top goes down. Same thing when come the time to close the top, it will go up, without bringing the windows down first... While if doing up/down from inside the car with the button, nothing happens at all. Anyone know where I can start from ? Thanks
  6. Hi, My 04 CTT did not have the electric tailgate assistance (close/open). I was wondering if it is possible ( i am surely certain it is) and how complicate/cost would it be ? Thanks
  7. Hey folks, Where I live, at this time of the year (especially), most of us that are running very low profile tires get to damage their wheels badly. I want to hear from all of you who are/has been running 285 40 22 on their cayenne, lowered or not. I understand that this will throw the diameter off by +8.7%, but to my understanding, this should not affect AWD, psm or anything like that since we are going 8.7% on all 4 tires, wich will make rotation equal on all axel. I heard too many story of 22" cracking etc... we don't have nice roads up here, almost all year long ..... Cheers
  8. I have this problem, anyone ever came across such thing ? This is a copy of the email I sent to them but never got answered back. Hello, I have a 2004 911 996 Turbo Cabriolet. I have your RT996 anf ST996 product and experimenting a strange behavior. When I press the unlock button(on the remote)and hold it for 2 sec, it will unlock, lower the windows (4) opens the top and close up the windows (2). Until now, it's ok. However, when I press the lock button(on the remote) and hold it for 2 sec, the windows will go down (4 or them and assuming they were all up before I lock the car), the top will close and the windows will go up but ONLY 2 inch (all 4 of them). All windows will not close properly. Please advise. Bo

  10. Hi, Anyone here can point me to a DIY on how to access the rear top strut tower mount in a 996 TT Cabriolet ? Thanks
  11. Hi, Did someone have the original manual that came with the Pss9 for the 996TT. I accidentally trashed mine and now I am stuck with the front install. I have no clue wich way to point the big diagonally shaped aluminum ring and no idea on what should be reused or not. Thanks
  12. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I am just plain sick of my fabspeed super sport exhaust. I want to put the oem system back with some modification. My local porsche dealer, yes, a porsche dealer, if offering the possbility to modify the OEM exhaust so it get a little louder sound (but not too much) out of the Oem one. They want 1500$ for the job, wich is a rip off IMO. I know that they open the muffle chamber on each side and remove something, but don't know what or where and then reweld the flap they opened. I don't care about the power gain at this point... Anyone has an idea of what is removed, where it is done? Maybe someone has a Cut view of the OEM Exhaust ??? Thanks
  13. Hi, I want to put some OMP seat using Brey Kraus side bracket in my 996TT. The car does not have electric sliders. I was wondering is I can unmount the sliders from the sport seats without making it un-reversible. I need them but don't want to buy a new pair at the stealer so I can mount the Brey Kraus sliders on them. Thanks
  14. Hi, My next De event is coming real soon and I need to have a hitch installed within the next 3 days. Assuming that one will be able to ship to canada within that time frame, we decided to create our own "temporary hitch". I know it will partially hide the liscence plate, but that is ok for us. Now, can you tell me if we are on a good way ?? This will be used to haul a tire trailer... Thanks Bo
  15. Hi Loren, Can you tell me how much fluid do I need to pump to make sure the new fluid is reached ?
  16. Hi, I have seen the DIY guide from Loren as for changing the brake fluid. I want to fluch the entire sytem and replace with a new fluid. My local shop has a vacuum pump where you connect the hand pump directly to the bleeding valve on the caliper. When you pump, it will suck the old fluid, insead of pushing new fluid from the reservoir as it does with the Bleeder shown on Loren guide. Can I use my local shop hand pump and always make sure the reservoir is full when pumping ? Does the guide applies the same way ? Start with the right rear wheel and always do the outer bleeding valve first ? Thanks
  17. Hi Folks, Sorry for this newbie question. When I put the power bleeder cap on and pump to 20psi, how do I know where my new brake fluid is at ? I mean, once you open the bleeder valve on the first caliper, when do you know that the new brake fluid has "arrived", and how do you make sure the old/new fluid is not mixing togother in the brake system ?? Thanks
  18. Hello, Does anyone here has instructions on how to remove the front and rear struts assembly so I can change de coils springs on them ? I need most of the steps, including wich is the best way to remove them as well as access points. Car is a 1999 C2 Cab Cheers Bo
  19. Hey , that is great, do you mind telling me where you pick it up and how much ? I was looking for the same thing but got discouraged knowing it will take a 2002 facelift. Cheers Bo
  20. I am not sure but GT2 front bumper may require that you have a 2002 facelift front end as well...
  21. Hi, SOrry for posting this here but can someone vouch for user lordceniza. I am looking at buying some stuff from him but I just wanted to make sure that I am going to do a good deal. Thanks for your time. Bo
  22. Hey Jeff, Can you tell me where you have seen these wheels ? And what is their name ? Thanks It is BBS. Funny that you post this picture - I was just looking at an old BBS ad that I clipped from a magazine that showed this wheel featured. They also made a version that blacked out the spokes - sort of a modern spin on the old Fuchs style wheel. I called around a few places and was never able to find this wheel anywhere. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
  23. Hi, I cannot operate the roof while driving and the car is a 99 C2 cab.
  24. Hi, If you hold the key in the locking position, my 99cab will close the windows (all 4) itself once the top is closed.
  25. Hello, I've heard that oversea, it was possible to remotely open and close the convertible top of the 996 series with the key remote. Is this upgrade possible for a canadian 996 c2 1999 ? Does anyone know the parts that is involved ? Thanks Bo
