    :P Thanks I will try pushing on them. If not, I will have to have dealer take it apart.. I do not have the huge socket needed to take the disc hub off. BTW the thickness came in at about 27.8mm. Jim :cheers:
  2. CO996C4
    Loren I hope it is just a rock. How does it sense when disc thickness is getting to narrow? I knowit has a pad wear sensor. I know some car makes make a noise type alert system when brakes wearing down. I can measure disc thickness if that helps. Jim

    Anyone have detailed instructions on how to remove the rear mechanical spoiler? (leaving lid and installing a spoiler similar to Carrera spoiler) I have the TSB for installing the factory Carrera Spoiler but it references a different instruction on how to remove stock mechanical spoiler Jim

    Anyone have a past problem with a grinding/scraping noise from front hub area? I was driving my 01 C4 today and on last turn to house I started hearing this noise. I pumped the brakes and then tried going in reverse and applying brakes but noise is still there. I took RF wheel off, spun disc and grinding was still there. Could it be a dragging brake? Noise seems to come more from the dust shield than the disc itself. Jim

    :clapping: Thanks Loren you are extremely helpful Jim

    :huh: i just wanted someone's input (who might have done it already) on how to take out the body third brake light on MY01 C4. Talked with Don (thanks Don) he says it should just pop out, but his apparently cmae that way. Is it possible to access from inside the car? Jim :cheers:

    Actually Aero wing from MA Shaw did come with a harness but unsure if it will turn off the dash light. Will find out when I install this in a few weeks. Wary of using anything but Porsche made products for electrical!
  8. CO996C4
    I am getting a smaller single wing so the "one would be the 070-04?
  9. CO996C4
    Loren I had a question.. I too am installing a fixed spoiler on MY01 C4 and I called local parts dept and asked for the special harness which you described to stop dash light from being on. I got it and noticed the number is slightly different than one you list..it is 996-612-070-04 Do I have the wrong one for this year and model? I aksed parts and they seemed to be stumped. Jim

    :huh: I have a stupid question.. What is "E-gas"? Jim
  12. CO996C4
    B) Don do you have directions on how you got back to the rear brake light to install the block off plug? Mine came in and I don't want to tear anything up! (BTW I am painting mine the negative of yours.. Black with Porsche painted in silver!) :cheers: Jim
  13. CO996C4
    B) Guess you just have to try different tyres! I have not had these Conti out yet, but had some PP S03 on an older 89 911 and LOVED those tyres! :cheers:

    So would a N2, being a second generation, be considered better by Porsche?
  15. CO996C4
    :huh: Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference in the "N" ratings? I bought some Sport techno wheels that came with Conti Sportcontac "N2"
  16. CO996C4
    :D Hi what was the cost, including install?
  17. CO996C4
    RMS:,I believe they are referring to the rear main seal which I heard has been known to leak... sometimes significantly. Jim
  18. CO996C4
    :unsure: Loren (or anybody) is the RoW M030 suspension a good upgrade for my 01 C4? (I can get a good deal thru SunCoast Porsche.) I just want it down a littel and a little stiffer. Jim
  19. CO996C4
    :unsure: Yeah I found the wiring harness part and have already ordered it and the plug for rear brake light. But how is the mechanical grill held in place, just four bolts? Do you have to take whole lid off? Jim
  20. CO996C4
    :clapping: Hey Don I found the new part number for the plug for body third brake light : 996-504-981-00-g2x Jim
  21. CO996C4
    Any DIY articles on removing the rear mechanical spoiler on MY01 996 C4? I am replacing with fixed wing spoiler from MA Shaw. :cheers: Jim
  22. CO996C4
    Hi Don where did you buy the brake light cover? My parts guy can't find it Jim
  23. CO996C4
    :) OKay that explains it, wonder if you could get a motor and modify it? Jim
  24. CO996C4
    Well in my experience, you have to repaint entire wheel. Get the paint code from Porsche. :cheers: Jim
  25. CO996C4
    Tony that is probably the same web page I have seen. I assumed it was functional since it says wing is in "full up position" but maybe not. I have Getty designs catalog and they too list a TT wing for 996 that says fixed upper wing but then says it can be ran in "down" position..maybe has to be done manually?Getty has 2 types FRP $1600 and Carbon fiber $1800. Have not called either directly to clarify yet.
