    Is it supposed to smell burned clutch when I do the following SEPARATELY: 1. Rev my 996 on FIRST GEAR with the Clutch floored OR 2. WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING ON 2ND GEAR, go on 4,000 or so RPMs on second gear THEN SHIFT TO THIRD GEAR. My 996 gives me the burnt clutch smell when I do those and I get mixed responses if it's normal or not. I have a Supra as well and it doesn't give me that smell when I do the same thing. Is this something different on the 996 that you have to treat the clutch differently? The clutch was already replaced twice in this car within 2 years and I don't want to end up doing it the third time. Hopefully I get inputs in here for other Porsche owners. Thank you.

    I have a 2000 Porsche 911 C4. Does anybody know what brand of spark plus is installed? It can be Beru or Bosch. Thanks!
  3. Porsche_911
    What model and year of car do you have? I just want to make sure to buy Bosch as well if we have the same exact 911. Thank you.

    Hmm. Let me double check. I will update this posting tomorrow. It's not a triple square as well. Is it the same wrench for Euro or ROW version 911? Any other suggestions will be appreciated. As far as I know US/Canada and RoW are the same either triple square or allen head. Is there a chance is that my fill plug is the tamper proof type? Do I need to purchase a tamper proof toll like the on in the link below? http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopca...l_pg1.htm#item2 Thanks! I did a closer look and now pretty sure that it needs an allen wrench though my metric allen wrench is either too big or too small. Is there a chance that my drain and fill plug is using English not Metric? Thank you!

    A quick update. Loren your the best! Your on the money when you said that it's not the 02 sensor. I got it fixed by replacing my MAF. No more CEL!

    Ive heard pretty good feedbacks for the Durametric software. The "Enthusiast" version is only around $290.00

    +1. Sell your 996 and buy the 997 instead of a facelift.

    This all depends on what you want to achieve first. If performance, then work on your exhaust system right away. If looks, then buy bigger wheels like a 19" Champions.
  12. Porsche_911
    Thats a very good idea porschedr as well. They sell those salvaged 996 real cheap. You will have a lot of wiggle room for the make-over project. Possible cheaper than to buy a 997.
  13. Porsche_911
    I had a friend who did that and he ended up spending a fortune that he ended up saying, "I should have sold my 996 and bought a 997 for the money I got from my 996 and the money I spent on the facelift.". The best recommendation is to save the money and sell your 996. The combined amount is like buying a 997.

    I corrected my post. It's a TYPO, I forgot to add the "nt" in the word "would". I wouldNT recommend it. I agree with that response.
  16. Porsche_911
    It's insanely loud. Sound like a boat on idle. I would'nt recommend bypass exhaust. I have one and I took it off after a couple of weeks.

    I use Mobil1 0W-40 full synthetic which Porsche recommends. You can buy that from Kragen. Here's the link, http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail....rtNumber=98HC64

    Thank you for your responses Maurice and RFM.

    Hi Loren, I have the same code and used a diagnostic tool to determing if the airflow differs on idle and at 2500. There's a higher reading on 2500 RPM which indicates that my MAF is working. Is that a sufficient test or there's a specific airflow value that we should expect on idle and 2500 RPM? I just want to make sure before I purchase a precat 02 sensor. Because as per as the fault code, it is a precat 02 sensor problem. Thank you in advance! Model and year of your car? Its a 2000 Porsche 911 C4. Thanks! P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Incorrect signal from MAF sensor – Intake air system leaking – Fuel pressure too low – Volume supply of fuel pump too low – Fuel injectors fouled – Exhaust system leaking You have an air leak most likely. Bank 2 is the precat sensor right? Can this be a fouled precat 02 sensor or it's not even a probable cause? Thanks! I do not think this is an O2 sensor problem. There are different fault codes for that. The sensors are tested at startup and again with the engine warm - to see that they are correctly operating. If they are not they throw a different code. Really! There goes my $$$. I bought a pair of genuine Porsche precat sensor already. I'll just keep it as a spare I guess. If anybody is interested, please let me know as well.

    Hi, I jacked my 2000 Porsche C4 all 4 sides up findng out that neither a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm wouldnt fit my drain and fill plug. Both of the plugs are bigger than a 10mm allen wrench but smaller than a 12mm wrench. This required tools in this thread mentioned a 17mm and 10mm allen wrench but none of them fits. Please help!
