Hey Loren,

Thanks for that last radio code, it worked. I have another one that I need

CR-220, Type 4362, Serial 15005249.

Thanks

I have a CDR-220 and do not have the radio code for the customer. The serial # is Y5039095, Type 4462. Thanks for any help on this

Placed the seal in the way a normal 996 would be . Car ran great no leaks...

We hear that using a 996 turbo rear main seal in an gt3 stops the oil leaks. We have replaced the seal with a factory set up and spacer and on the track it still leaks. So ...when using a turbo seal do you put it in the same as a gt3 (backwards from the engine vacume) or normal?

Bump

We have a cayenna s that is not charging. Things checked already wire harness under seat,Junction point in engine compartment. question is how to diagnoise this as it is not common for the alternators to go bad. The yellow wire comming from the alt is dead(no signal).

Thanks in advance !!

Thanks

Any one know the torque for a 99 996 3.4 underdrive pulley bolt. My work shop manual says 185 fp....I seem to remember 18 foot pounds and then a 180 turn

???

The codes are #80 (1-3) secondary air and #208 (4-6) secondary air. I am going after the shut off valve today and makeing sure it is operational.

we have an 993 that had the secondary air system totaly clogged. We rebuilt the entire top end, new valve guides,the system was totaly cleaned and a new check valve. My question is about the pump itself, we can acuate it with the ps2 and hear it run but when we hold are finger over the air inlet on the air filter it does not seem to be pulling alot of air. So 1,how strong does a good pump pull at this location? 2, Anything else I may be missing? All the vacume lines are located in there proper position's. Thanks in advance....

the rail has a 17 mm counter hold ..but the line usually comes off with a quick jolt on the line end.19mm

Anyone have any tips for removal of the front diff on an 05 Cayenne s? was very noisey needs replacement.

I assume the entire front carrier must come out. Treading new ground and looking for tips.

I have had good luck installing them without removing the heat exchangers. The trick is to put a small hose clamp on each side of the new expandable tube,lube the o-rings and then useing two small prybars or screw drivers pry them(expand) into place. Very easy this way.

Any recommendations for independent mechanics in central NJ (eg Summit), what about particular dealerships in the area. Thanks

The leaking oil comes out via the soft top water drains on a cabrio, which are in front of the rear wheels. Sounds logic.

You can see that drain by removing the rear speaker and a plastic shield.

Hi all, looking for what is in an older version of PET (around 2005), P/N 996.552.571.00, color code 01C, satin black. This is for a 997.2 C4S, but as you can see it seems to harken back to the 996 days. This is the part number that is stamped on the piece and is listed in the older version of PET.

It seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, hard to find.

It is a protective sleeve for the upper fold down rear seat. One on each side of the seat where it pivots on a bar to fold down. It presses

in the seat and protects the leather portion of it.

Thanks!

I am sure I have at least one.

Baum tools has it.

Sorry to say it but usually a large stream of oil pouring out from between the engine and transmission usually means the stud on the intermediate shaft just snapped. Sometimes the nut will lodge itself in a spot after it breaks and falls loose so you won't have any crazy death rattle sounds.

Keep us informed.

My worst fear became a fact..... just received information from my local Porsche shop..BAD NEWS.. the IMS bearing has failed and needs to be replaced ...!!!!

I was told that this will include a complete disassembly of the engine :(

Anyone having experience with this or the retrofit options that are available on the market? Isn't it possible to change the bearing without a complete disassembly of the engine???!! :help:

Regards,

Damborg

You can pull the bearing only before it fails. After it has exploded you can not. I have tryed several times and failed as the end of the shaft is to far damaged to get it to move.Plus, everyone I have done that has broken sent metal all threw the engine. You would want a tear down for a good cleaning,Besides if small pieces of metal get jammed in the scavage pumps you will be rebuilding anyway with lots more parts.

Noise then oil...most likely cause is the IMS bearing. Even though you shut it down right away if the bearing failed

metal will be threw out the engine and a tear down is needed.I have done two this year so far none of them jumped time and they ran fine

but metal was everywere.

What should I buy to lower the eng. & trans. with, an ATV jack or motorcycle jack, or something else?

That engine and trans is very heavy, you need something heavy duty to handle it.

I use the Porsche table and the tips put a strain on it.

It is always easier to drop the engine and trans as a unit(3 hours on the ground) then to fight with it.

I am looking for an 997-1 workshop manual.I have a 04 996 variocam plus engine and the 996 workshop manual up to 04 does not cover this engine.

any Ideas?
