TripleBlack911

Hi I have a 99 C2 and have searched this forum and the DIY's for a solution to this problem. I was wondering if anyone has a DIY for this code step by step. I could really use a step by step just for exact diagnosis since I see it could be 1 of 3 things. Thanks!!

Ok but would anyone suggest 285's? is it even possible? im sorry, im pretty new to this whole scene and just want to make the best choice.

I made a typo. The rears are 19x11, Are 285's unrealistic and not wide enough?

Yea someone else told me that as well. I have no idea how a TSB works with a 99 Carrera. Is it too late to do anything? The car has 85k on it. Thanks again Loren as always

Loren, kind of a dumb question but going from a 295 to 285 is not going to make the tire "stick out" any less correct? Thats based on the offset of the wheel, correcT?

I have a 99 C2 with 19inch I-Forged Daytona's on it. The rears are 19x9. I currently run 295-30-19 in the rear but had a scraping problem. The car is also lowered with H&R springs (1.25 drop). The problem is the car will "bottom out" and the tires scrape inside the inner fender and cut into the sidewall of the tires. I was wondering if a 285 tire would help with this problem. I am in need of new tires and want to make the best choice, all opinions welcome. Thanks guys

thanks a lot guys, i appreciate it

I have a 1999 Carrera 2 and was wondering if a 2001 Turbo rear bumper would fit on my car? Something I probably should know but am fairly new to this whole scene. Thanks guys

I had the same issue and my window stopped working. Someone told me that if it was the regulator the window would move with your hand pulling on it up or pushing it down. I have already started a thread about my driver window so any help would be great!

So no one has any insight to this? I had a mechanic locally say that the window might be off track. Please someone help its FREEZING here!!

B)

I meant I replaced the regulator and motor..

OK, I just replaced the window and motor (I found a great deal on both). It was working fine and now the window will not move. I can hear the motor trying to go and the window is in place firm (I can't move it with my hand). I am wondering if it is a possible fuse? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I do not have my manual and am having a hard time finding the fuse location of the driver widow. A quick response is needed PLEASE, I am in 30degree weather in NY with a window halfway down!!

OK I have my wheels on eBay. I just recently looked at the back of the wheels and the rears have 2 part numbers (A,B) and 2 possible widths (9,10) How do I know which ones they are? Thanks guys

Thanks guys, I have mine forsale and am pretty sure the fronts are 44mm but not sure of the rear. Thanks

P1539 Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 2

Actuator triggered, no active position.

Possible causes:

- Open circuit in triggering wire.

- Open circuit in B+ supply.

- Actuator faulty.

yea thats what i keep seeing on here. this car is my daily driver so i am just concerned about driving with it on until I get it checked out. From what I understand the actuator is only faulty if you feel a loss of power which I really can not feel at all.. Thanks again Loren for your speedy response..I hope your getting paid on here

OK I have read a few past responses to this code but my car has no lack of power at all. I am hoping it is an easy fix. It will be in the shop early next week. Does anyone highly reccomend NOT driving it until its fixed? I have a 1999 C2

Did you see that in your Owners Manual?

It should say H7, 55W

Thanks Loren, your always the 1st to respond. I don't have an owners manual, the previous owner misplaced it. Do you know anything about a 30000k bulb going in these headlights?

I have a 1999 996 C2 Carrera and i was wondering what bulb type the low beam is. I believe it is an H7 but I want to make sure before I order my HID upgrade. Thanks

Hope this helps.

Sorry, that chart is wrong.

The offsets are all wrong - DO NOT use that chart.

For a MY1999 car Porsche approved wheels and offsets are spelled out in a TSB.

Front offset is 50 - 52 mm.

Rear offset is 63 - 65 mm.

No 19 inch wheels are approved by Porsche for use on any 996 series car.

Thanks for the help..So your telling me that I can not put 19's on this car at all?? WoW?!? Just ruined my day

I am a brand new Porsche Owner so I am unsure of the fitment requirments. I have a 1999 996 C2 and the guy is "Unsure" if these will fit my car. The specs are as follows: Two 19x8.5" (with 45mm offset) and Two 19x10" (with 52mm offset) 5x130mm Lug Pattern.

Any input is greatly appreciated and if anyone knows the best springs or coilovers to use with 19inch wheels I would appreciate that information as well. Thanks guys

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it.

Kind of a pain to get at. particularly the one on 1-3 side (drivers side). Plan on a couple of hours labor, sensor lists for $238 but you can get it much cheaper.

Here is Pelican's listing for the sensor:

and the o-ring which you shoud also replace.

I would also check with Sunset Porsche, their pricing is always good.

Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. I recently purchased my dream car used (1999 911 Carrera 4) and the check engine light reads codes for the Cam position sensors. Does anyone have experience with these? Is it a tedious job (labor intensive). Or any recomendations for some parts over others. Thanks a lot, I look forward to your responses and really appreciate them.
