    The one in the little box is for the engine starter I thought?

    Where is this socket located and which pins are used for testing for alt output? Try following the wires back from the alternator. As you can see it is out of the question, do the alt wires run through the big round main eng connector?

    Here's another example of MB Quart with crossovers in trunk with alpine amp makes for a great fit.

    When you replace brake pads there is no need to open the Hydraulic system. If this is the case and you never had issue before then maybe its just coincidence and the Master cylinder is bypassing. If you did open up the hydraulic system then you will need a brake pressure bleeder and a TEXA Scan tool or the factory scan tool to do the Abs bleed Procedure. vizcarra44 Not sure how the brakes where before doing the brake job, when I got the car it was the first thing I did during my inspection, so did not have a chance to drive it. The pads and fluid needed to be replaced. Not sure if my car has ABS, but do not think so, but how can I check.

    If you are takling about the one on the tranny it's easy just remove hydraulic line then the 2 bolts holding it on the tranny (from back of car it will be 2 Oclock position right side) pull out then replace new one and reconnect every thing and rebleed by following instruction in the brake bleeding DIY section. Good Luck

    No, not off hand but will try to get a hold of one. thanks

    Thanks Loren, Pedal pressure old fashion (open valve on down pedal and closed on pedal up then pump up and redo) with assistant pumping brake and clear bottle and clear bleed line. Bleeding both first outside then inside valves per wheel. Would I see bubbles in master cylinder fill resvoir if I was leaking back in master cyl? I could have gotten the pads dirty or slightly oiley during cleaning and installation could this cause the pedal to go down? When my master cyl went out on other cars if I was holding the brake down I could feel the pedal leak to the foor but in this case it just seems to go along way down before any braking action occurs.

    Man do not get it I Installed new pads from europe with ceramic in them forget the name but after 25 miles or so they seem spongy and go almost to the floor so I reblead and retest same thing. Well took wheels off again and there is allot of black buildup looks like dust so I cleaned rotors (did not remove pads) installed new fluid (Gold) and rebled brakes with no leaks noticed and they pump up but when I drive they are still soft and want to go to floor. The fluid level never drops. I am rebleeding using the brake pedal with assistant which always worked on my other cars. At a loss anyone?
  11. Mother
    I'm pretty sure there comprimised but I'll drive till they make noise again then replace the shafts.

    Follow up: Well it's not the tranny, but the CV Joints inner and outer both sides. They had hardley any grease and when removing the boots found water coming out out of them so I cleaned repacked and reinstalled. Ran through 2-3 gears and no noise so far, but it is still on jacks. The bad thng is it took all day and man was it messy and when I finished I forget to get hand cleaner or should I say body cleaner. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

    Ok wheels off and up on stands at idle first gear video's. But still cannot isolate, not sure if it starts in tranny and works to wheel through shaft or maybe CV joints which I know nothing about. It does not seem like pads they are not grabbing and there is not any clicking vibration when I touch the calipers. The noise is more pronounced in passenger wheel. ?? http://www.webbspot.com/Porsche/video/wheelnoise1.3gp and http://www.webbspot.com/Porsche/video/wheelnoise.3gp

    Thanks Loren
  15. Mother
    Anyone know if the front wheel bolts are the same length as the rear one's ?
  16. Mother
    Not sure if the bolts are the originals and did not drive car before putting new pads on, so i do not know if the noise was present before I purchased. I will check but how long should the bolt be?
  17. Mother
    The boots seem ok, no cracks etc. Dirt can still be inside, though. Does the noise change as you turn the car, and put stress on different sides/corners? Still clicks when trying U turn and side to side with no change in noise level. Can't remember off hand how is the boot attached ?

    I have a clicking noise at rear wheels seems like both sides. Cannot put my finger on the sound. Brakes, Tranny etc everything seems tight underneath car. Have a listen. http://www.webbspot.com/Porsche/video/clicking.3gp

    Please not even in jest!

    Follow Up: The seat belts (2000 model mechanical type) need to be installed before they will extend.
  22. Mother
    Just my opinion but that looks to dangerous to me, if they can not be reground then replace disc and pads. Piece of mind goes along way to me.
  23. Mother
    I stopped saying porsche 996 because they did not know what that was, so now it is just porsche carrera.
  24. Mother
    Mine are not electrical someone said to install them first then try. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the tip though.
  25. Mother
    Strange problem I have 2000 996 and got some used seat belts (front) But they will not extend. They seemed to be locked and both are the same way. There are no electrical connections to them. I was just trying them without mounting them first and also looked for some kind of way to unlock including giving them a quick pull and release ,but no joy. What's up anyone?
