2001Porsche911

Did you ever figure this out, my sunroof is in the same type of situation but i haven't disassembled anything yet ?

Hi, i apologise for being a lurker and not really ever posting since i joined; but i have a serious issue right now :^(

ive been DIYing most stuff for my car

- pioneer nav

- footwell lighting

- seatbelt replacement

- o2 sensor replacement

etc etc.

but this has me absolutely stumped.

a few weeks ago the interior trim / lining of the sun roof came off while the sun roof was open. it basically got stuck above the headliner in the car; so after i closed the sunroof, i wasnt able to ever open it fully again. i tried to tackle this problem today and one problem led to another and this whole sunroof thing has me so frustrated.

Basically where it stands now is; ive removed the entire ceiling of the car - center consol, headliner, sunroof, sunroof interior trim, motor, rails.. EVERYTHING,

the reason for this was because after i unscrewed the sunroof pannel and removed it, the sunroof rails were not doing anything when i pressed buttons. i though there was something stuck in the tracks at first, but couldnt find anything. then i took out the motor to see wht was up and realized that the close button doesnt work but the vent button and the sunroof forward button do. they only turn the gears a few rotations before stopping. obviously because my roof is in the most extended positon (open) the motor only clicks and doesnt do anything when i press buttons; so i removed the motor to find that it can only rotate in one direction.

what do i do??? i think its the **** programed circuit (the one with the NEC chip on it) thats got the problem. Any way to reset it; or to let the circuit know that the sunroof is already in the vent position and it needs to stop trying to make it vent more?

p.s i broke the mechanism that lets me manually crank the sunroof lol. so thats not an option.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! any help is appreciated, or even a service manual that tells me how the hell i re-build the sunroof.

p.p.s my possible diagnostics:

something stuck in tracks

the computer that tells the sunroof what to do is wonky

the close button is broken

motor for some reason only turns one way

pleaase help with solutions, or a service manual to show me what to do :(

Could someone tell me if i can still check the tiptronic fluid level while the car is in the "reduced driving program" (4 and D are flashing) by removing the plug at the bottom of the pan and seeing if the fluid begins to drip out? I noticed in the repair manual it says the car must not be in the reduced driving program, how am I supposed to check the fluid level then?

Just found the answer in another post here:

Push the computer control lever (lever below turn signal stalk) forward twice. This should get you into the "set" menu.

Now push the lever down about 5 times until you see the temperature:celsius/fahrenheit function.

Select Celsius and push the lever forward to change. Pull back on the lever several times to back out of the menus

Does anyone know how to do this in a 2001 911 C2, when I push the computer lever forward twice nothing happens?

Does anyone know any websites that i can get gauge overlays in KM/H instead of MPH? Please let me know

Thank You

I just bought a 2001 911 and when i shut the hood, i have to really slam it hard, the previous owner told me i have to hold the hood about one foot above and slam the hood down with my palm on the emblem to make it shut, is this how all the 911's are? And/or will this DIY fix this problem if it is not suppose to be like that?

Thanks for your help

Just wondering if the 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera has an auto on/off headlamp feature? I know some of my other cars have it so when it gets dark outside they automatically turn on, does he 911 have this??

Thanks

Hi everyone i have a few questions about the Porsche 996, i just bought a 2001

1. Where is the plug to plug in the OBDII tester?

2. Two of my headlight washer squirters popped off when i sprayed the washer, is there anyway i can replace just the small sprayers? Where do i get these from?

3. Is there anyway to change the digital portion of the gauge to KM/H instead of MP/H I purchased the car from the US and i live in Canada, also is there somewhere i can get KM/H gauge overlay?

Thanks
