    Noticed something interesting on my car. When it is hot, the valve is "up" by itself, even though the metal wire is in the down position. Is this normal? Lately, my car has been running hotter than normal, so I was wondering if the bleeder valve is abnormal and has something to do with it. zft: Here is a photo of the bleed valve in the "normal" position: Here is the position that you should put the little lever in to keep it in the "open" position, so that you can ride around with it like that for a few days to bleed the air out: Regards, Maurice.

    What is the equivalent to the ATF fluid used for the 997.1 Tiptronic? Can we use the same fluid as the 996 Mk2? Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the 997.1 Trans is based on? ZF of some type, or MB of some type? This info could help identify the proper ATF fluid to be used.

    Indeed C14 was very clearly marked! Thanks for the help.

    I know that the Mk1 996's with ZF automatics and the 987 Cayman/Boxster S 3.4L use LT71141 ATF. What do the 997's use? The same as the Mk2 996's? Is the 997 Tiptronic Mercedes Benz based too?

    After battery disconnect, I get fault code 4444 read by PIWIS, steering angle sensor not initialized, on a 997.1. I folllowed the repair manual procedure which is, start engine, turn left 20 degrees, turn right 20 degrees and drive more than a certain speed for more than 6 seconds in the straight ahead position. There is no error on the instrument cluster anymore. However, 4444 isstill read by PIWIS, and the details of the error seem to indicated that PSM is active, etc. Is this error code just temporary and will be erased after awhile?

    After re-reading your post, I am trying to differentiate between the momentary (non-latching) input of D6 and A10/A11, which you have mentioned are responsible for internal DME latching of the PSE solenoid earth wire. Also, another question that comes to mind is, if I go the conventional swicth way, using a switched 12V as power while controlling the earth to trigger the PSE solenoid, is there a part number to nice looking conventional switch that has an exhaust logo that I could use? (Porsche or even other car brand)

    Hi Berty, Thanks for the clarification! Indeed, the grey connecter with the populated C14 threw me off. I am a contributing member and have the TI for the 997 PSE install. Thankfully, my 997 has Sport Chrono, so I only have to wire up to the DME and no additional wiring to the switch is necessary. However, before I get there, is C14 clearly marked on the C plug? That is basically my only question, other than how difficult is it to get through that large rubber grommet in the engine bay. I've done the 996 install before, as Orient pointed out, but that is only through the small rubber grommet, quite manageable, compared to the large one tucked away in the corner of the engine bay of the 997 that the wire is supposed to go through. Thanks in advance.

    I've done a 997.1 PSE install, but haven't got to the electrical bit yet which will be "part 2". Going through the Technical Information on the electrical connection to the DME, I need to tap onto A8 and connect to C14. Before I get into the actual DME connectors I was wondering if the the pin numbers are clearly marked on each connector. What threw me a bit off was this Boxster PSE install on Planet 9 http://www.planet-9.com/reviews/miscellaneous/p294-retrofitting-factory-pse-and-overide-switch-porsche-sport-exhaust-pse.html . Grey/Green C14 needed to be connected in this case as well. If you look at his connector it looks like he added the Grey/Green wire to C17 instead, yet he mentions he needs to wire to C14. Anyone done the 997.1 PSE install can shed some light on this? Also, how difficult was it to route the wire through the rubber grommet on the right side of engine bay to the car's interior? Any tips?

    What's the difference between the PSS10 you've given the link to, and B16 Damptronic that is designed to work with PASM? Or are they one and the same?
  10. 996noob
    Was referring to the springs/shock absorbers from the GT3 (w/PASM), and if the PASM will work when they are connected to the C2S.
  11. 996noob
    Can the GT3 suspension w/PASM work on the 997.1 C2S w/PASM? Are the PASM on both cars the same?

    I'm ordering this kit for a friend. However, supplier says kit number is 997 044 201 03. This puzzles me. Is it the latest number now? Thank you again for your contribution. Sport exhaust for MY05-08 997-1 997.044.200.02 replaced 997.044.200.01 and 997.044.200.03 replaces both. So, 997.044.200.03 is the current part number. Any difference between the 3 numbers? I just purchased the 02 for my car and got a pretty good deal on it (am I allowed to post prices?) I got it from an OPC down in Jersey and it is getting shipped to me this week. Comes with Mufflers L/R, PSE tips and wiring. I've been trying to contact the guys at "suncoast" but they're giving me a bit of trouble, not providing me quotes unless I sign a CC authorization with them for an amount prior to my order which makes no sense to me. I would love to use them, but the lack of service is changing my mind. Sam Most likely just vendor changes. One is likely as good as the other.

    I'm thinking of embarking on an interesting project. Could I use the circuit from the 996 PSE to control the 997 PSE changeover valve, so that regardless of the 997 DME setting, I can have a latching switch turn on or off the exhaust (like the 996). Somehow take the whole circuit with relay, and put that in a 997 to control the PSE. But could I use the Exhaust Button from the 997 instead of the oval 996 one? Any thoughts/advice?

    Thanks!

    Did you mean; Left front - 996.351.031.95 Right front - 996.351.032.95 Left rear - 997.352.031.00 (some places list 997.352.031.01) Right rear - 997.352.032.00 (some places list 997.352.032.01) I'm still in a state of confusion, and worried about getting the wrong part.

    Replacement on a 2003 996 GT3 already equipped with PCCB. However, the catalogue says up to '04 cars use rotors ( A ), and '05 onward use rotors ( B ), which in turn are superceded to rotors ( C ). Pads, Calipers, Bearing Carriers (uprights) seem to be the same throughout all years, so it would be good if I could go straight to rotors ( C ), especially if they have improved design. Advise really appreciated. Thank you, sir.

    Need some urgent help in this department. According to the parts catalogue, there are: Front Left: ( A ) 996 351 031 02 -04 ( B )996 351 031 03 05- ( C ) 997 351 031 00 supercedes ( B ) Front Right: ( A ) 996 351 032 02 -04 ( B ) 996 351 032 03 05- ( C ) 997 351 032 00 supercedes ( B ) Rear Left: ( A ) 996 352 031 02 -04 ( B ) 996 352 031 03 05- ( C ) 997 352 031 01 supercedes ( B ) Rear Right: ( A ) 996 352 032 02 -04 ( B ) 996 352 032 03 05- ( C ) 997 352 032 01 supercedes ( B ) we can conclude that ( C ) supercedes ( B ), but does ( B ) supercede ( A )? If it does, then it is much easier, just get ( C ) in all cases. Can someone with the knowledge advise? Since the value of these parts are so high, I don't want to make a mistake! Thanks!

    Harry: It's only four 10mm bolts, one radiator hose clamp, and a partial coolant drain to replace the T-stat. If you have tackled the water pump yourself, it should be an easy DIY for you. If you are only replacing the T-stat, I understand that a special tool is required to remove the T-stat from the housing, but IIRC the tool can be improvised. Regards, Maurice. How to improvise the thermostat tool? Does anyone have pictures?
  19. 996noob
    Tools -wise, anything special required? Is that a Torx driver? What sizes of Torx were needed?
  20. 996noob
    Thank yoiu RFM, for the info. I'll look out for the differential drain plug when I do my ATF fluid change. I guess its location is obvious when I'm there?
  21. 996noob
    Just a little off topic here, hope you don't mind. For a '98 996 with the ZF tiptronic, is there a separate gear oil for the differential? Or does it share the oil with the ATF (I hope not) ? Is there a DIY prosedure somewhere on the Forum? And what is the gear oil spec? 75W-90 GL5? Is this the same case for the newer version Tiptronic (MB based transmission) as well (apart from the difference in ATF type used)? Haven't seen this topic being posted before, so I thought I should ask. Thanks in advance.
  22. 996noob
    Thanks Maurice, I'll rememebr to do that.
  23. 996noob
    Yes, I was going to cut the wires, and connect the correct wires accoridng to your diagram, and then dremel out the unwated pins. I'm located in Singapore. Thanks for the help!!

    Sensolutions has one here: http://www.sensolutions.com/products/browse-products/manufacturer-specific/19-pin-round-diagnostic-connector-for-porsche/ But shipping was excessive to my country. So in the end I went with a 16pin to 19pin adapter from ebay (china) like mentioned by Porschelibrarian, that may or may not work, and when I have it in hand I'm going to dissect it and wire it according to your diagram. It is fully pinned, all 19 pins, so I will attempt to remove the extra ones. I am not comfortable having all the pins connected even though they are not needed! A search on ebay will turn up quite a few of these adapters.
  25. 996noob
    Fantastic info, just what I needed! Thanks Richard. I have a 19 pin round connector on order and will be attempting this shortly. I did consider the Sensolutions cable but when ordering, the shipping was more than the cable itself. Not that the small amount of money is a problem, I wasn't assured if it was the right cable in the first place. It was helpful that your friend managed to check out the connections on his Sensolutions cable. Would you know if he has ever tried it with a PIWIS? What do the Knock and TD connections do, and would the PIWIS be able to use them?
