    I have a 997.2 S with PDK. When I apply the brakes on rough road surface there is a continuous noise emanating from above the driver's legs, between the brake pedal and the steering wheel. The noise is more pronounced the rougher the asphalt and it sounds like a spring being released or similar. I am taking the car to be checked but because there could many things that potentially create the noise, I am wondering if any of you have had something similar. I suppose this could have equally happened on any 997.1, so your views will be much appreciated.

    Can someone please give me the possible causes or preferably the most likely for misfire codes like P0300, P0301 etc. Thanks.

    Come on free your minds! IMO it is not what Porsche make but how good their products are. The Cayenne is the Porsche among SUVs and the Panam. will be the Porsche among sedans. The tractor will be the Porsche among tractors; in some places they hold tractor races so it could be the Porsche Tractor Supercup. You must have heard that in spring 09 the new Cayenne diesel will be released so we could have an RS Spyder Diesel in time for Le Mans. Exciting things ahead!

    I agree with you, but it is another option. Plus, I never suggested it was "just an ECU (proper term is DME) and filter thing". The dealership does the following: carbon fibre air filter housing revised, race tuned camshaft & cylinder heads different exhaust manifold Sport exhaust Factory warranty 381 HP 306 lb/ft torque 4.4 0-60 $18,699 Thank you for the information!

    It involves extensive work including changing the cylinder heads, camshafts etc. It is not an ECU and filter thing, I wouldn't like this type of jobs to be done on a retrofit basis. I'de rather wait and get it factory fitted.

    The order can be accepted with code X51(there is a price for it on the system) but there is an indication that availability is not immediate. FL= facelifted.

    Does anyone know on the basis of reliable information when the FL997 will be available with the X51 powerkit. It features on the price lists but the timing is vague. I wouldn't want to order and then find out that this option is available soon after. Thanks!

    I use the Porsche gearbox oil. Reverse does engage when cold, the problem is that when I disengage, if I don't take extra care to do a slow accurate movement the whole system blocks , like I mentioned above.

    I have a Porsche short shift (actually it is not even the very extreme one as mine comes from the 550 anniversary model) on my 986S that presents the following problem when cold. The movement obviously is generally stiff when the system is cold like all SS systems, but if I select reverse when I go back to neutral if I am not very careful with the movement of going from reverse to neutral, the system becomes somehow blocked in the neutral position and I cannot engage any gear as if the stick is locked. I then have to shake the stick with short movements in all directions until it unblocks. When warm no problems are encountered. What I mean is that when I disengage reverse I have to do the movement very slowly and precisely and not instictively like it is the norm in all cars,in order to avoid this nuisance. What is your opinion? The wires are ok and the clips at the back are well secured. Could it be something inside the gearbox and if yes why only when cold. Your assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Does anyone have an up to date Porsche Tire Guide? If yes can you please scan and post? Thank you.

    I tried your recommendation for 3 fillings and it worked fine. I hope it is the solution and not coincidence. Thanks!

    As a rule I don't remove the key. Do you think it could make a difference?

    Sometimes, the fuel gauge reading on my 2001 Boxster S registers below Full although the tank is brimmed. The pointer goes up to 3/4 of the last 1/4 i.e. little below full. From then on as the tank is depleted the readings are correct. Any ideas please. Somebody suggested OBD calibration, others that the floater in the tank might be faulty. Thanks

    Actual values for the 2007 997 Turbo DME is in the list of projects that Durametric are either working on or planning adding to the software, according to their website. Look under "workbook".

    The "cylinder"is an integral part of the cable. No separate part # is given. However, there are two retaining clips for the cable, part # 986 424 411 00. Make sure that one or both are not missing/broken before you embark on something more complex/expensive. The cable on my car jumped out because the clips were not in place and I couldn't select all gears. I replaced the clips and fastened them with cable ties for extra support. No problems since then.

    I am contemplating the installation of a LSD on my 986 S MY2001. However, I've had a doubt that the LSD might interfere with the operation of the PSM system fitted to the car. So I am doing some research before proceding further. Today I went through one of Paul Frere's books on Porsche 986/996 where it was stated expressly that PSM is not compatible with LSD. In the case of the 997/997TT I think this doesn't hold true anyway. But it might be a different version of PSM. Has anyone done this conversion on a 986/996 car with the early PSM system? Is there a compatibility issue? What are your experiences? Thank you

    You can only do that when the ambient temp is something like 23+ C and/or when the car sat in the sun for a while. Otherwise you risk getting a bad fold that might not go away. I own the car for almost 6 years now and the plastic window has not yet been "trained"

    Part numbers for the above for MY 2001 986 S manual 86.20 transmission? I checked PET but I am confused as to the exact type and # Thank you
  24. renos
    I am thinking of installing a LSD on my 986 S.I think it can be installed without removing the transmission. Has anyone done it? What are your experiences? The specific product is by a UK compant Quaife and it is branded a an ATB (automatic torque biasing) automatic differential. Let me have your views please, technical and as regards functionality. Thanks

    Do you know if the 550 Anniversary short shifter can be installed to a 2001 986 S without any modification, as a straight swap?
