BTW you should buy the clutch on Ebay.  They are selling the complete Sachs clutch kit for less than many Porsche parts suppliers can buy them.  It seems that some direct distributors are selling them online cheaper than they are selling to their vendors.

 

Here is an example   Ebay has Sachs clutch kit for just under 500 and Pelican is almost 850 ( Vertexauto is listing it over $100 less than Pelican).

Please note that the 3.6 and 3.8 have different parts numbers. The Carrera S is cheaper than the 3.6 at Pelican. Go figure.

I gave that as only one example of the wide range in prices for the identical parts.  The one that started the thread has a 997.1 so that is what I answered specifically.  And since I have PET 7.3 U366/94 I am quite aware of the part numbers, uses, etc. 

So to paraphrase Seinfeld " NO PET FOR YOU!"

I have a 99 996 cab and the windshield frame ( hard 2 piece plastic) is coming lose from the bottom on each side.  We are about to get to rainy season ( I know you guys in California need some of it..) and I was hoping there was a fix/repair besides buying an entire windshield assembly..

Is there a prior thread or discussion? 

Thank you
 

The 2005-current Porsche wiring diagrams are in a very large program called WDS.  It has all models, year by year with color diagrams detailing each wire and identifying them by color coding, current etc.  The program also makes each wire easily traceable by clicking on one wire it highlights the entire run in the diagram.  It can run separate from PIWIS or PIWIS and I know it works on windows. 

PM for more information.

I was was using a PIWIS 2 on a 2011 Cayenne and got two codes but no instructions on procedures to repair the problem causing the codes.

I know there is a plethora of information on the IMS but I have never seen a bad IMS bearing or an explanation of the problem besides it causes our engines to crap out. 

I found an interesting video online and thought I would share....

I just ordered a set of black mesh grills from ZUNSPORT for my 99 996.  The total price including shipping to USA was $185 and I used promo code  ZU042010 for a 20% discount.

You mean something like this?

And ofcourse just as an example and for educational purposes only.

I was looking for information on the Varioram 993 engine regarding Valve sping adjustments and measurments but in the WSM I only see information on the earlier (non varioram) engines.  Is it the same or different measusments and such?

Thank you

I don't think the PST2 will work on the 997 unless he can get the elusive PST2 update 27 ( that includes the 997) that I have only seen a screen shot and a unit that a mechanic from FVD was using. And that unit from Porschecable is the old Chinese Durametric Clone with version 3.1 and is extremely limited on the 997 and can not be updated as it will brick the cable. However it is available on EBay for about half the price on that website.

I have the complete and updated set of Porsche WSM, OBDII, Diagnostic and each year wiring diagrams for the 996.  They cover just about everything except rebuilding the transmission.  Well perhaps that's because Porsche never gave part numbers in PET for the transmission internals until 2006) 

The manuals are in PDF and unlike the ones online they are updated with both engines and changes thru 2005.  I like being able to search, print out the pages needed, and not worring about getting the book dirty for next time.

I have the complete set of WSM from Porsche on the 997 including the 997.2, Turbo, GT2 and GT3 models.  Send me a PM or email and I can assist you.

You should run and check POSES or WSM for Porsche labor hours and proper DIY.  Most DIY do not cover 996TT

That is for the European 991 Turbo.  Porsche has not published/released the PDF parts catalogue since 2010.  I have the dealer edition PET 7.3 u350 with all models USA and ROW including the 2015 models.  PET requires Windows 32 bit OS.

In an effort to help RENNTECH cover its annual lease expense, I am offering PET 7.3 update 350 for only $15.00 to new contributing members of Renntech or those that make a new donation to RENNTECH of at least $25. I will also send the retail price list of one's choice to be installed in PET.

Please PM or email fornfurther information, questions or confirm compliance.

PET is the actual Porsche parts program and database that the dealers use for all parts reference. It covers all models USA and ROW and requires windows 32 bit.

Ditto and dont get basic Durametric as it is limited to only 3 VINs and you already have 2.

I strongly doubt it.  The last update for the hammer included the OBD module for the 993 but the 996 has a different module and coding.  What do you use on your 997?  I just put together a PIWIS II and it works on all models.

See if local mechanic has another PIWIS and if you can check your unit and cable against his. It could also be a mudule in your KTS 520 so if he has another 520 to check against

And I think we need to know all year cars you tried your unit in.

Thank you for your post. I try to keep all manuals updated and available for the members here.

If anyone needs any WSM ( I admit I'm missing the 959) or PET please pm or email me.

No the 981 and 987 are not the same models.   Here is the correct file  sorry..

E_981C_KATALOG.pdf

I have the 996 WSM with updated thru 2006 plus the OBDII manuals, Diagnostic manual, wiring diagrams up thru 2005, and other updates. PM or email me.

The 996 manual you have was made in 1999 and no one else ever bothered to get the updates or remake the manual with the later versions like I did. I have the 996 WSM with the update and supplements for the 3.6L engine that you have.

And Loren YES 2006 was the last POSES update. I have the POSES going back to the 72-83 911 model and the WSM are all in PDFs.

Here is the European PET PDF for the 981 C ( Cayman and Cayman S) I have the WSM available if you PM or email me

E_987C-2_KATALOG.pdf

And I just found the PET PDF for the 2PA but it is for European model but its better than ......
