  1. I'm fighting with that piece too, it's correct that's a part of the air oil separator, I’m changing the two O-rings cause it leaks oil!
  2. At the Porsche Official Dealer they could'nt find the problem using the Porsche diagnostic tool...
  3. Is there any simple way to fault test the microswitches in the car directly from the alarm system or using a jump wire? I have a a single-beep of the alarm horn on locking since over a year, the Porsche dealer could not solve the problem after billing me 600,00 € for a new interior monitoring sensor, Oddment compartment microswitch, Front lid microswitch, a new Radio contact and the PST check. As a result they told me that I should leave them the car at least two or three weeks because they have to take out the seats and other parts to solve the problem... I paid and drove back the car home.
  4. My Air Oil Separator is blowing out from that vent tube causing the same leaks I see in that pictures, is it a bad sign?
  5. @20 yo Carrera 964 MY90 @30 yo Carrera 4 996 MY00
  6. They gave me this: 999 170 207 91 BERU ULTRA 14FGR-6KQU R6 for 20$ each
  7. and, again... what are the best spark plugs to use on a 996 C4 '99?
  8. LINK to someone who did it here is a link with pictures of a conversion - (you might have to sign in to see the pictures) godd luck! Basically it refers to this site: http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/996/163...s-thoughts.html But they talk about a led conversion for 600$...
  9. Any idea on how to make a 996 rear lights look like the 997? I was thinking, maybe using the rear fog lamps, as if they where stop lights, so fitting inside a two filament bulb could make the effect closer to a 997...
  10. Maybe you have some problems on the ignition switch, I had the same issue with the AC...
  11. I think that you already know all the answers that you need :) for sure I can tell you that you can keep your bolts!
  12. Nice! Thanks for the perfect explanation! @Xeattle I had to change it because of the oil leak...
  13. How did you find a plug that fit? Trial & error? Just tried with a couple of tanks...
  14. Change both the horns (low & high), and... 15 minutes is only valid for Loren! ;)
  15. I had the same problem last week... I just had the part from my porsche dealer, the part number is 996 349 291 00 and it's called "dust bellows"
  16. Ok, lift up the car, dry out the diff oil, remove the lower wheel arm and try to get enough room space to pul out the joint Take out also the 6 screws and nuts fixing the last part of the joint Now you have enough space to remove all the screws and the dif cover Clean everything, put the new Oil seal and remount the cover. Now fill with transmission oil to the level (until oil start to come out from the filling hole) and remount everything in reverse order. you are done!
  17. Want to try a cold air intake like the schnell type? Do you already know that a modified air intake have as result only a great sound and almost nothing in hp gain? So... let's do it with less than a $ spent... Here we have the factory box filter Loose the wraps Take a 50 cent plastic tank put the middle plastic cap inside the secondary air inlet of the OEM air intake Check if everything is all right and remount the intake with the original wraps Let the MAF sensor read the new air volume and you are done!
  18. I did this with the middle cap of a 5$ plastic tank... the upper lip is larger so it is retained by the lateral OEM Black rubber hose.
  19. If you just changed your diff fluid you should not have to fight with joints or boots... 3 months ago I had to replace the right oil seal of the diff so I had to remove the left joint to change it, the boot instead is on the wheel side and it's the number 13 in the picture..
  20. After lots of research on the forum and even a PM to Loren I was looking if some one can help me with a step by step instruction on how to replace a front joint boot on a 996 C4, the last time I worked on it (to change the front dif oil seal) it was very very hard but I'm sure there is a simpler way to do all this stuff... unfortunately I don't have the Porsche technical manual but only the PET, so if anyone have a DIY documentation it would be great to share it there... Thank you in advance!
