    What are you replacing the wood trim with? Mine is suffering from same fate. I bought a new dark root wood passanger side trim in grey but don't have the drivers side.

    Repairing my convertible top this weekend. Things went well with the fluid install (was dry from previous owner). I attempted the calibration via PIWIS, top goes through the entire process then stops before it tries to latch. Reversed and then complains of Timeout. Which microswitch would this be? Also where do I find the potentiometer to verify ohm at start? Seems this should help me but still interested in folks feedback on possible issue: www.welton-village.org.uk/porschesofttopp.pdf

    Sounds like cracked ignition coil. Remove and inspect, swap it with another coil to confirm. (if fault follows that pack)

    Not to be a grave digger but Seafoam addeed to my oil solved a ticking sound I was hearing at idle on the 1,3.5 side. I knew shouldn't be there as I didn't hear the same on other bank. Added to oil and let it idle, then did a oil change.

    I had the snap-on from earlier use on domestic cars but Uview looks like a great tool. I guess I need to check the front radiator tubes also since not sure if pulling vacuum past the thermostat. That could explain the system quickly returning to atmosphere. Adapter arrives this weekend. Adapter did the trick. O-ring was leaking the vacuum. Sucked up the coolant out of 6 gallon water jug I got off amazon. Chilly

    What is torque spec for #4 and the bolt below that?

    Pelican has a kit. Installed it in my 1999 Cab.
  8. 987_RDC
    I agree, seems top was replaced by eBay special. Option D, Circle cap PN: 99655545700 Last three would be color. If black I think it is A03. Though your pics look blue IMO. (G10 if Metropole blue)

    Easiest: Updated Becker all-in-one cable: BAS.iPOD Or Also seen some people recommend the: BLAU/8-POD2 or 3 (if needing another AUX) (Install info, http://www.discountc...s/blau8-pod.htm) Or - Phone power cable – p/n 5001.524-276 - Audio/telephone cable kit - p/n 1319.116-276 [Read that alternatively can use Blitzsafe adapter to charge newer devices: 764244 26241] Radio pin out : http://mysite.verizon.net/mark00/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/004-2.jpg

    I've been using the 5w-40 Pennzoil Euro spec (for higher ZDDP than mobile 1). Good results so far in sunny CA.

    How long does a vacuumed coolant system hold the vacuum? I got my system to 25 in/vac but wouldnt hold for long. Thinking it is the crappy "o-ring over hacked off radiator neck" adapter I tried to fab up. Just ordered a universal radiator adapter (1DXN1 or MV4506 instead of Snap on priced:YA4505) for my SVTSRAD262A kit.

    Nothing to release on a MY1999. You still have a manual release on MY2000 and older cars. The electronic release for front and rear lids came in MY2001. I understand that. But does the unlock still function? Seems the 2 and 3 button remotes are less expensive to order.
  14. 987_RDC
    Interested in the same thing. Anyone confirm 3 or 2 button remotes working for 1999?
  15. 987_RDC
    Ok thanks. Let me know if I should edit post to remove previous link to old ones.

    Ah yes further reading I found that recommendation has been updated to 120*. Seems I am fine with the 67 ft/lbs I torqued my set. BTW those manuals do not have the incorrect 90* recommendation. It was poster above. Manual lists as noted 67 ft/lbs. Where are the updated manuals?
  17. 987_RDC
    Checking the 996 engine manuals at (link removed) Seems Engine 1 pdf lists flywheel ft lbs at 67 on page 116. I recall having to use a breaker bar to take off the flywheel bolts so suprised they are only on 17 ft lbs + 90*

    Hopefully it is the oil cooler. One word of caution is to not buy a used oil cooler as replacement. (might be obvious)
  19. 987_RDC
    Sounds like you had intermix originally which killed your last AOS and any future one since the mix eats plastic seals. If your oil isnt milkshake then you might want to pressure test the oil cooler.
  20. 987_RDC
    Wow dumb luck that when tapping my seal in using a large lantern flashlight as the guide I "accidentally" put it in about 5-6mm too deep. I was originally pissed off since couldn't get the thing to go in straight at all until figuring out to take the top off the light and use that as guide.
