need to replace radiator - questions
tbarcelo replied to tbarcelo's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
Thanks, Sunnyside. My car didn't have Porsche coolant in it, so I decided to drain the hole system. I ordered a Uview tool to put new coolant back in (I'm going to start with all distilled water to convince myself that I can do it ... otherwise, I'll just ask a shop to flush with coolant). The hoses seem to be in pretty good shape (nice and pliable, no cracks). So I'll just go ahead and replace the o-rings. Re "safety-wire" - I have read that replacement radiators have a slightly different-sized breather hose input and members of 6speed recommend adding protection. Not sure how to go about doing it, though. Thanks. -
Does anyone have a bleed procedure that does not involve vacuum system and works? Are there non-Porsche branded coolants that are a quality substitute? Should I replace the upper and lower hoses when replacing the radiator? How do I "safety wire" the house clips?

996 TT ABS Kicks in on right turn braking
tbarcelo replied to fredkhaz's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
Danyol, Can you elaborate? I bought my 2003 Turbo last April and it came with 997 wheels with "incorrect" tire sizes - i.e. 235-30-19 fronts and 305-30-19 rears. Michelin PS2s up front and Hankook Ventus V12s in the rear. Other than an alignment issue that caused severe wear on the rear outside edges, I didn't have any PSM problems. When I corded the Hankook, I decided that it was time to fix my "incorrect" tire size issue, so I went with the recommended 315-25-19 tire in the rear to match the diameter of the 235-30-19. At the same time, I corrected my toe problem and slight driver's side rear camber problem. Immediately, I got the same behavior as described in this thread. PSM interference with long sweeping on/off ramps at modest speed. I will definitely check the speed sensors, but I'm currently concerned about my whole wheel tire package. Suggestions?
