valley996

thank you

Are 1999 996 C2 headlights interchangeable with 986 headlights of the same year? I want to find a clear headlight and get rid of the amber. I wanted to expand my search for used ones and I thought if they were the same I could look for those. What year did the 996 go to all clear headlight or was that an option?

I appreciate the advice. I found a used one and I thought I would try to change it, but that is allot of work.

Will a 996 turbo bumper (996 505 311 05 PP EPOM T20) fit my 1999 996 C2? Will my lights work with it? any alterations?

At least the parts will be affordable!

what is it?

A great fix for the lack of power and M96.0x engine problems:

It shows $269.99. A little off from $135, now. High price!

After reading that great DIY, I'm inspired to try this. I found an aftermarket water pump on Automotion for only $135:

Anyone have any experience with this unit? I like to save money as much as the next guy, but I'd rather not have to replace this thing again in six months.

Thank you

Can someone tell me if this is the original engine in my 1999 911 C2 M96\0166X10223

I appreciate the advice. I have never driven a cayman, but I do no I do not like the boxster. I really love the 911 and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about a IMS upgrade? With 92,000 on my is it worth the money to get it done?

I have a 1999 Porsche C2 Tiptronic with 92,000 miles. I am interested in getting into a little newer and more dependable model. What would be better? A 2007-2008 Cayman or a 2002-2004 911 C2? My budget would be around $30,000. I figure trade-in on the 1999 would be around $17,000 (long way from original $67,000)! I need some advice from the experienced. Thanks

What about the Softronic reflash. It is $895 for 22 hp. Is that even noticeable? Does anyone have any experience with this?

I have a 996 C2 and was wondering if anyone has added a turbo or supercharger to one. I can't afford a factory turbo, but would like to add some performance to it. I am actually disappointed with the acceleration (new: $73,000). I have to say my friends Mazda 6 (new: $21,000) is faster at 0 to 80 and they don't cost near what a Porsche does. I will say the 911 will out handle the Mazda, but there are allot faster cars out there for a whole lot less money!

90,000 Have to replace my torque converter soon. What stinks is how over priced the parts are!

thanks

I appreciate the advice. So the conclusion is that I can drop just the transmission on 1999 996 C2 with tiptronic to change the torque converter. Am I correct? Also, I have to do this on jack stands because I don't have access to a lift. Any advice on what to drop the transmission on (jack or dolly?)

Thanks

I appreciate the advice. That sounds like a whole bunch of work.

I know this may sound stupid but I am trying to save money and I don't have access to a lift? I need to replace my torque converter on my 99 996. Does anyone know if I can drop the transmission enough to do the replacement if the car is on JACK STANDS?

There is nothing in the Porsche documentation that I have that mentions this.

I think you will likely need to call a transmission specialty shop that works on Mercedes Benz and Porsche automatic transmissions.

Thanks

any help on this one?

Does anyone know where I might find the answer? I am testing my torque converter.

What is the correct or optimum stall speed (rpms) for the torque converter on a 1999 Porsche 996 C2 Tiptronic?

Thanks

The Tiptronic goes into Limp Mode when there is a problem that could cause a safety issue or further damage to the car. There are about 25 different faults (as I recall) that can cause the Tiptronic to go into "Reduced Driving Program" aka Limp Mode.

You need to have your car diagnosed with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester.

thanks

If my 99 Porsche C2 tiptronic is in Limp Mode what is working and not working at that point. Can someone explain the limp mode for me, please?

Thanks

The best way is to build them out and let them test in a BOSCH center. The PIWIS can switch each injector one by one in and out, but this is a test to see if the injector works or not, not to see if he works correctly.

Thank you
