  1. ahlan b kil el libneniye.... Rammi the car has a saudi license plate, and looks like it's been sitting in the dessert for a while, i can't see how a car with Saudi license plate could stay in lebanon for 3 years without moving, the lebanese customs rules are that you have to take the car out of the country every 6 months. and the car can stay a maximum of 2 years then it has to have it's Trip ticket renewed. if you're interested in porsche wrecks like the one in the attached pictures, there's a lot here in dubai and i work with a lot of people who can assess the extent of the damage... hi man i am lebanese living in bahrain, if there is a way to find a wreck 996 c2 in dubai with a good engine and acceptable price i can come and buy it. thanks
  2. ok guys sorry to keep on bothering you with this subject, but the engine ended up to be a carrera 2004 engine c2 , as the porsche dealer confirmed to me today after taking 200$ just to check it :) what might be wrong? as i am certain that the serial number is showing diffrent facts. now the guy promised that after tuning the car it will be as fast as "rocket" which i strongly doubt. thanks joe
  3. Rammi if you wont buy it please send me a PM i will buy it for the engine. i am a lebanese too and i need a used engine for a 996 as i was just ripped off by a local mechanic :(
  4. thank you very much guys, actually here i dont even need an attorney - he will need one coz i can file a case directly in the police station and he will be screwed. yes i have been cheated but the stupid mechanic really thought i will not feel the diffrence?????
  5. :)anyway i live in bahrain. i wish i took the car home to lebanon coz we have good mechanics there thanks guys, so i will drive the car for 200-300 km to see if the performance will increase. actually now i feel i am driving a toyota corola :) the car feels heavy and slow, the RPM takes ages to reach to the next gear and if i remove my foot from the gas pedal it feels like i used the breakes. the guy who did the swap is an ex porsche certified mechanic and very well known, but i really feel he does not know what he did with my car. thanks joe
  6. thanks a lot for the help at least i know that they did change the engine how i can find out the specs of that new engine? i really want to know if it is S type and 3.6L like i was promised. thanks
  7. Please do a search here this has been covered many times... ok here it is: M96/2365308062
  8. thanks you guys but where i can find the engine serial? sorry but i am a bit illetrate in cars
  9. hi i just replaced my 996 c2 2000 model car engine, and the engine i paid for is supposed to be a cs4 2005 model. how to check that it is the right engine? because the car performance did not improve, i feel even that my old engine was more powerfull!!!!! thanks
  10. A faulty MAF sensor will affect performance. It's likely that the sensor degrades slowly over time and you become accustomed to the change without recognizing the performance or drivability has degraded as well. Good luck with the oil cooler change. Did they pressure test the cooler or just guess that was the problem area? THNAKS FOR THE RELPY they tested the car and then they actually removed the aprst out so i really dont know what this means :)
  11. ok took the car to my dealer and said they need to change the oil cooler and flush the engine!! another quik question: will a faulty airmass affect performance and speed? they are telling me that mine is gone bad but i dont feel any loss of performance, i only have trouble starting the car soometimes but it will always start after 2-3 tries. thanks guys joe
  12. thanks guys for the replies i checked the oil and it is clean there is no water inside but the oil is missing quarter the quantity i better take it to the local dealer and will update this post
  13. hi guys few days back i noticed a little under performance from my 2000 c2 996 / tiptronic gear. i noticed as well that the temperature meter is a bit higher then normal all the time but not to a level to consider the car is heated up. just today while trying to add water i noticed there is oil inside the water!!! what does that mean? should i stop the car and take it to the dealer? thanks for your help joe
  14. hi guys i have a small problem when i start my 996, sometimes (not always) it does not start from the first try. it starts then the RPM drops down to 0 slowly and the car is off, after 2-3 tries it starts ok and everything is smooth. but the fact that i need to try several times is bothering me. thanks
  15. hi it has a carrera sign and my 996 is 2000 model
  16. another question not related\how i know what is my car specs? like it is a carrera 996 but i dont know if it is c2-c4 or coupe
  17. thanks loren for your help \ it seems after 1 hour evrything worked fine maybe a timer or something becausethe doors were open for long time while the key was inside the ignition
  18. nothing is there to jam the seat i am worried if the cleaners touch something under the seat, an electrical cable or a plug !??
  19. hi guys i was a 986 boxser owner and now i bought a 996 carrera. i sent my car today topolish and clean the interior and when i went to take it back the driver seat was stuck and not moving i checked the fuse and it is ok, the funny thing is that the position of the seat now prevent me from driving it. any suggestions?
  20. Thanks pedro for you reply earlier i just have a question after i visited your garage web. is there any electronic part which is easy to fix (i can fit it myself) which can increase the performance of my Boxter s? thanks joe
  21. ok i ve done everything and removed the seats and even renovated the seats with new leather in the process the immob is tottaly dry and i sprayed the inside just in case..... now the car starts sometimes and sometime there is no crank at all all electrical functions are operating perfectly i did not notice anything unusual Can it be another reason? (i noticed that the car starts early morning when it is cold?)
  22. Thanks for the reply guys now the car is starting fine and i have no electrical problems. i found that the water was stuck under the carpet and i removed it all the leak was the result of a glogged plugs and now i opened them both sides. i am just worried about removing the immob coz i cant reach it in a clear way. it looks dry when i touch it under the driver seat, is there a diagram or drawing on how to remove the seat? thanks a lot
  23. Just a quick update after several hours and tries it started fine and everything is working i need to see if it will start tomorrow.
  24. hi i have a boxster S 2000 Model automatic gear and tiptronic few days ago i found some leaked water under both the seats and i had it dried out everything was working perfectly till today morning when the car started after 2-3 tries now when i turn the key nothing happens i only hear few clicks everything works fine: Alarm - door locks- electrical windows and all dashboard lights i already changed the battery as well just in case but nothing changed it totally refuses to start (at least to crank) Switch is brand new (changed it at my local porshe dealer few month ago) Any suggestions? thanks guys in advance
  25. Hi i have a Boxster S 2000 model 3.2L last week and out of sudden i started hearing a loud noise coming from the front of the car (left and right) i noticed that it comes from the fans cooling the radiators in front. plus i get a very strong vibrations all over the car the sound is very loud and if i turn the AC unit off the sound will go and the vibration will disappear. Any suggestions?
