Thanks Loren, I figured it had to be a common problem, just didnt know what. Does both need replacing? Or just re-torquing? Thanks, Johan

Hi, I have a rattling sound from the front suspension on my 996. It's rattling when driving on uneven surfaces. Anyone that could point me in the right direction? Sway bar drop link? Shock? Ball joint? It has a 118 k on it, and still feels firm and nice to drive. Thanks. Johan

Hi, I recently bought a 996 Carrera with supposed "engine failure". However, searching here it looks like it might only be the AOS that need replacing. The sympoms are: - Heavy smoke from both exhausts, maybe a little heavier from the left exhaust - PO says it started smoking suddenly on the freeway, and was towed to a service station (obviously not familiar with p-cars....) - Oil missing in engine - Coolant not mixed with oil, level looked ok - NO abnormal engine noise - Starts right up and idles smooth So, any opinions? Should I order an AOS replacement (where) or do some additional testing? Thanks, Johan

Thanks! So, do I stIll have an electrical problem when the convertible works better with the key in the drivers door lock? So the switch itself is not the problem? Regards, Johan

Hi, Two days ago I bought a 2000 996 Convertible. The seller said the top wouldn't go down, but with the help of searching this forum I managed to get it down, kind of.... The switch on the dashboard does not work, and when I push it the light in the instrument cluster flashes. Nothing happens. But, when I use the key in the door lock, the clam shell opens, windows go down, and the forward lock opens. but, the top itself it not moving and there is no sound from the hydraulic motor. I can lower the top manually, and then complete the clamshell going down with the key in the drivers door lock. Then it works the other way around too, exept the dashboard switch does not work, and I have to close the actual top manually. So, any idea where to start looking for problems? I figured it can't be the oil level, because then I should be able to hear the motor. Can the motor (or maybe I should call it pump?) be broken? And why does not the switch work? Thanks, Johan
