    I was curious what the outcome was with this situation? Any resolution

    here's our infant seat...it has a sticker/picture of how to use it in the back seat if you don't have the air bag deactivator. It faces toward the rear of the car in the back seat and uses the lap belt across the childs legs and the shoulder harness goes through a loop on the back of the child seat. Bought it from a friend....has Porsche logos on it.

    Thanks to the site in helping me decide on the X74 suspension for my 2002 Cab X74 Rocks!!!!!!! Rides the way the car should have from the factory. Very little body roll, true cornering, nicely lowered stance Not at all harsh.....just firmer Bought from Gert Carnewall. Very knowledgeable. If you buy outside the USA, be aware of the import duty/tax that Fedex will stick you with ($85 a week after arrival) + Visa charges a 2% currency conversion fee = no cheaper than buying in the USA. Gert elected to hide behind his website "disclaimer" rather than pay the 85$ that should have been included in his "all shipping included" claim = lost customer. Great Porsche product....buy it, you'll love it.

    I'm considering the X-74 for my 02 Cab daily driver. I've read all the info I can. Some people say the X-74 is less harsh than the US standard suspension. Some say it's more harsh. I'd appreciate commentary from people who actually have this suspension as to the ride quality as a daily driver. Thanks

    I've been reviewing all the post about the I- Pod hook ups, but I haven't been able to find a phone # to Becker to order the Ipod cable for my 2002 996. Any one have their phone # ? Thanks alot

    No pictures, not really anything to shoot. It just doesn't work properly and now creaks alot in the closed position. Something must have broken loose somewhere.

    Hi All, I recently noticed a rattle coming from the passenger side convertible top area. When I lowered the top to inspect, I noticed the convertible top motor would be running, but the top was stationary at first and them would be jerked back eventually. Once the top was all the way down, I tried to put it back up. When raising the top, the drivers side attempeted to go up, but the passenger side seemed to sag, causing the top to pitch or come back up crooked. I helped the process with my hands, but it ended up coming up all crooked with the "clam shell" staying in the opened position. Eventually I messed with it enough to get it closed. It seems to me that something has come unhooked or broken on the passenger side convertible top mechanism. The frame seems fine, rather, whatever pushes the convertible top frame up and down seems to be not working properly on the passenger side. Any help is very appreciated. Thanks,

    Thanks for the responses. I tried to retrain the window, but nothing happened. It still is in the down position and moves up or down about one cm. There isnt enough window to grab with plyers. Any other suggestions? Thanks,

    Hey folks, This afternoon, my passenger window got stuck in the down position. When you hit the window button, the window moves up about 1 cm. then stops. It will move up and down about 1 cm. when you play with the window button, but no more than that. Does anyone have a fix? Thanks, Skipp

    Hi all, I just found out I'm gonna be a Dad......Does anyone have any input or experience with the Porsche child/ baby seat for an 02 cab? Can you get one for less than $800 somewhere? Thanks
  14. skipp
    Loren or anyone, Thanks for your responses. This only seems to occur during low speed turns. Usually while braking, ie turning into a driveway or doing a u-turn, or turning into a parking spot. It's not always when braking though. It has happened while moderate/ aggressive accelerating out of a curve before also. There is no noise, only the feeling you get through the steering wheel and sometimes the brake pedal. Just a slight shifting feeling communicated through the steering wheel. As I said earlier, when I unlocked the steering column and moved the steering wheel around one day, I could feel the same type feeling in the barake pedal. Thanks for any thoughts also, it does happen without touching the brakes.

    Thanks for the input. ...the feeling ( a pop or shift ) transferred through the sterring wheel and sometimes felt at the same time throught the brake pedal usually happens when braking and turning at the same time. Although it does occur at other times with no braking at all. It's not constant, only periodically. It does happen every day though. Also, the car does not have PSM system......And I would like to go tto the gear head meetings in Charlotte... Thanks Skipp

    Hi all, I have this weird popping feeling being transmitted through the steering wheel when turning. It only does it occasionally. You;ll be making a turn and you'll feel a pop of some sort being communicated to your hands on the steering wheel. At the same time, I'll often wheel the same pop in the brake pedal. I recently unlatched the steering coumn adjustment lever and jiggled the wheel around with the latch still undone and could feel the popping sensation in the steering wheel and the brake pedal at the same time, which made me think it had something to do with the steering column adjustment mechanism. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    I have a 2002 Cab and was wondering what normal oil comsumption is. I recently added 1/4 qt when the oil gage was showing four bars down. THis took it to full. I drove about 400 miles and now the gage is showing three bars down. Is this normal? No leaks are visable under the car. THanks for any help

    Are these "porous problems" limited to Pre- 2002 engines, or should I be concerned with engine failure on my 2002 Cab?

    I just got the car in the winter and have begun using the air conditioning recently. I've noticed with the a/c on, there is a kind of whiney sound that comes from the rear of the car, engine area, when the car is slowed to an idle. When you have the a/c on at a stand still and give the car a little gas, the whiney sound starts as the RPMs rise. When you let off the gas, the sound continues for about 10 seconds and then quiets down. When you hit the A/C button off ( fan still running) the sound stops completely. Is this normal? Thanks,

    Loren, What are these numbers you listed? Parts numbers? to buy from where? thanks
  21. skipp
    Anyone out there know where to buy the felt tape to fix rattles etc. thanks,
  22. skipp
    Loren, Thanks for the info....When I remove the two plugs on the bottom of the door to expose the adjustment screws, are all the screws for "pressure", or are there multiple screws for different things, ie. height, angle etc. If they are for different things, how do I identify the correct screw(s) for the pressure agianst the seals? Is there only one screw for the "pressure" or more than one? Thanks,
  23. skipp
    Loren, I was at the dealer and watched them do it. I would like to do it some more. "Adjust the door window pressing force on the door seal at top and sides" Thanks, Wow...........cool, did anyone else know there was 4 options? (or that there were screws under the door :lightbulb: )........on reseting the simple 'up limet or stop'.......pretty sure that's covered in your manual.........full down, then hold switch for up as she goes all the way & continue to hold for a sec or 2. Am I anywhere near right on that Loren :D ?..........and was that the 1 of 4 you were after?
  24. skipp
    Does anyone know how to adjust the windows by using the adjustment screws under the door? How much do you turn the screws and which is for up/down VS. in/out? Thanks
  25. skipp
    It's a 2002 Cab. I've rubbed vasoline around the rubber at the roof line. What does a window regulator do? Thanks I forgot to tell you, it's the drivers side main window, and the vasoline stopped it for a while, but it didn't last...any more suggestions? Thanks,
