    You are in good hands at Autostrasse I have one of there rebuilt engines and still going strong tell Robert that just mention Steve from Phoenix said hello. GL on problem fix.

    Thanks Loren, noticed there is not a parts list in members area or did I miss it? I think I found via a link to a website containing it.

    I had lost my part number pdf for my 2000 996 and need to see if this PN# will work "Porsche 996 641 980 76 70C". And if anyone can head me in the right direction to get the Porsche PN list that would be great.

    Ouch not a great place for lifting. If you do not want to remove the whole dash maybe a leather shop for some adhesive that you can apply via brush and getting a piece of contoured wood to jam in there until it dries then do the folding edge at window last by hand and hold in place until it dries.

    Don't worry about speed at that level crossing the dakotas, MT, WY, ID, but once entering WA..... 10MPH below posted speed is the only "safe" way through AZ. As a AZ local I can atest to this photo radar is really bad here and getting worse since it generates allot of money for the state. You are good to go if going through the reservations still have not had to many problems.

    What should I check I am getting no heating in my 2000, 996 stick. I have the temp turned up but nothing! The AC works fine it also does not seem to vent properly using either the defrost switch etc.

    I like RUF the lines follow the curves of the car itself. Have fun. Woops! missed the part on yours being a cab not sure the RUF will work.
  8. Mother
    Yes, right side at front of engine.

    Never heard of this valve and in general dealerships are not that familiar with SC setups, Did you have it installed in CA if so take it back to them or find a Indy shop that in your location that has exp with SC installs would be your best bet. Have to admit it is sometimes easier to locate a leak with car on a lift.

    No have have not, I think it is in the instrument cluster but do not have another one to test. Also my digital readouts do not go off after a couple of minutes either. My durametric will not read the cluster it says "Module not responding"?
  11. Mother
    Been along time since I did mine but I recall taking 2 nuts off then the halfs can be seperated and removed from car.
  12. Mother
    Thanks Loren
  13. Mother
    I think I have a cluster problem, but am curious where this sensor is located and can it be replaced?
  14. Mother
    I have a 2000 996 and durametric but have noticed when I try to use the cluster setting in the software program that it says module not working or does not recognize something to that fact. Is that where this measurement is taken or tested for and if so would the module being tested be in "cluster" itself?
  15. Mother
    Tried searching but nada, My dash lights do not come on at night is there a dimming feature I can use to turn them up?
  16. Mother
    Noticed with blower fan turned up that the left side (drivers side) barley gets air coming out? Right side ok and centers seem ok. I checked the ducts on left side and all are connected and the vent is in open position. Is there something under the center console that could be disconnected?
  17. Mother
    I removed the fuse panel and inpected and looked good, but it turns out that the wire was getting hot leading me to believe it was a component causing the problem. Pulled the passenger fan and it barley would turn.... bearings and overheating present, so put another in and it's works great so far and fuse is just warm now with 30 amp fuse. If can just get another 40 amp fuse somewhere checker just had up to 30 amps. Thanks everyone for your help learned allot especially that a fast turning fan does not mean that it is a problem.
  18. Mother
    OK this is what I have so far. Fuse still burning. 1. Fan spins freely no rubbing #1 fan 2. Changed with another ballast (wrecking yard) No Change still hot and fan seems to spin on high speed or faster then the #2 fan (passenger side). 3. Removed both fan #1 relays #19,20 No fans on and fuse still gets hot. 4. Just turn the ac switch on and now it gets hot (with relays removed). Now it seems the fans are not the problem As a note though the fan #1 fans comes on to a high speed where as the fan #2 stays on low with ac switch on- hope this does not confuse issue furthor.
  19. Mother
    Thanks Loren, Is the drivers side fan considered Fan 1? and can the balast be purchased seperatley? 19 Radiator Fan 1 - Setting 1 141 951 253 B 20 Radiator Fan 1 - Setting 2 141 951 253 B 21 Radiator Fan 2 - Setting 1 141 951 253 B 22 Radiator Fan 2 - Setting 2

    Fan GURUS please apply!! Searched and did not find what I needed normanclature seems different. Well finally new engine in running good but during initial shack down lost my AC by burning out/melting the 40 amp fuse in C8 position which is "radiator fan right". This is phoenix so by noon in june it's 100 plus degrees, anyway I got home and after letting her sit over night and noticed that the AC works with fuse out? With AC off and the fuse "in" the fuse stays cool, but when I hit the AC Switch I hear which sems like 2 (drivers side fans) come on and the fuse heats up qwickly to the point that it starts to smoke and I shut engine off and pull fuse out. Any Ideas where to look first and I have not had a chance to hook up my durametric will this help me at all?

    When all is done I would take it to another dealer and see if they can read the DME. The dealer near me did it all wrong and thought I had a problem also until someome told them how to use the tester.
  22. Mother
    Congrats and glad all went well. Did you use a power bleeder or do it the old fashion way?

    New Porsche ear ring I guess. Great job and nice pictures also. GL

    Anybody???... In talking with Sunset, it seems all of the part numbers are correct, but the picture they sent me from the PET shows a different clamp that what I have... Mine is a 2000 year 996 but, check out site when I did mine, it has pictures but not much explanation. I did not like the way they did the clip either but modified to where I felt it would stay on. After installing parts on the lever it just pushes on. Hope this helps. http://www.webbspot.com/porsche/html/tranny-eng.html Mother, Thanks for the input, I had already looked at your pics which is part of the reason why I feel I have the wrong clamp. The one that you show is the correct part (not sure what you had to modify). You are right the clip seems wrong I cannot see how yours even holds the rubber piece in place, I bent my clip (hooked ends down) and around so it could not slip out or off of the grooved area on the arm. The rubber bushing kept wanting to push the clip off was the problem. If you have a dealer nearby take it to them to have a look or even use the older style clip. It is a bad design to me adding a clip when one is not needed to hold the rubber in place. My 2 cents. Let us know what you find out.
