    I believe the brass color coupling on the right is leaking. It's leaking approx where the shadow begins. Can that be tightened or easily replaced?

    It's the hose on the right that's leaking. I also noticed the hydraulic reservoir (marked Pentosin) is low. The leak seems to be where the "hard" line connects to the rubber line. Is this a common problem? What are my options? Thanks! Sounds like a power steering leak. Hopefully, an easy fix if it's just the junction of the two lines. You might want to get a can of Pentosin CHF 202 (recently superseded the older CHF 11S) to top up the reservoir until you get the leak fixed. Thanks on the oil tip. When the engine is on, I can see the leak drip...so it's probably best that fill it up and not drive it until it's fixed, huh? Anyone change one of those connectors before? Special tool required?

    Hi all, Found a leak I'm not sure of what it is. Doesn't smell like oil or coolant. Can you help me ID what these two hoses are? Seems like the connection there is leaking. Might me due to the real cold weather we've gotten recently. How should I go about fixing? Thanks!

    I did exactly that and love it. Rides just fine for me. It's really subjective so you should ride in someone's car who has done the mod. What's right for me may not be right for you. The ride does get a bit harsher, but not uncomfortable. Handles just fine and looks great. The H&R's came with my car and a buddy gave me factory shocks with less than 10k miles. Total investment = 0 ....I installed them myself with a help of a buddy. Good luck!

    It was sorta like engine oil, but then again it did have a funky smell to it. Kinda like old rubber.

    So I go jack up the back of my car so that I can swap mufflers....I lifted the back end pretty high so that I can have good amount of room to take the mufflers out. All of a sudden I see oil dripping down from this area, a total of a few table spoons: This bolt is directly below this silver cap thingy: Here's a close up: What is that? So I lowered the car back down....no more oil drips. Started the car...no drips. Needless to say I didn't proceed with the muffler swap. Too frustrated... Hoping this leak isn't something major. FWIW my car does not leak anything normally. Anyone have an idea?

    UPDATE: Dealer determined it needed a new starter.
  17. 87turbolook911
    A K&N type...I'm going back to stock just in case. The MAF was deemed bad by the dealer...they say it happens all the time...not neccesarily because of the K&N.

    Thanks...ordered parts from Phil at Sunset. Nice guy...great service. I'm expecting a nice size box coming my way next week!

    Last week I replaced the battery because I noticed that the car was "straining" to start. I purchased a Deka OEM replacement battery. In the mornings or cold motor it seems to turn over and start fine. Not a strong start, but starts nonetheless. After driving about an hour to work this morning I stopped for gas. When I got back in to start it, It was almost like it had a low battery. It did start, but not with the strength like in the morning. The volt meter ion the car shows just about 14 volts. Is this normal or should I check something out?

    Well I cleaned the solenoid valve per your suggestion, and it seems to have taken care of my erratic idle. Not sure if it has helped the hesitation under hard acceleration. I'll test that tomorrow morning. I also cleaned the throttle body one more time...this time cleaning everything I could reach in the throttle body. The car had a PPI done before I purchased and they said the MAF needed to be replaced :( I thought I would try cleaning it before paying my warranty deductible and giving my car up to be fixed for who knows how long.... Thanks Loren for providing the much needed info. Vu
  21. 87turbolook911
    So if I remove the two screws (visible in your picture) the solenoid pulls out? Then just spray and clean out the gummed deposits? Do I need to remove the throttle body from the car to do this? This morning I had sprayed the butterfly down with carb cleaner...but not the idle valve....could that have made the situation (idle) worse? Also is it okay to drive with the MAF asking up the way that it is? Obviously I'm not gasing it hard or racing anyone so no stumble is percieved. Thanks, Vu
  22. 87turbolook911
    Yes I also cleaned the throttle body/butterfly with carb cleaner....where's the idle valve solenoid located? Thanks!

    New '99 c2 owner here... Over the weekend I noticed when accelerating hard in any gear... once I got to about 5K rpm the car doesn't continue to accelerate smoothly. It sorta stumbles. So I tonight I pulled the MAF sensor and cleaned it with carb cleaner. The element was a little dirty but not filthy. After letting it dry, I put it back in. The car seems a bit smoother but the "stumble" is more consistent. Once I pulled into the garage, the idle fluctuated between 500-1100 rpm....almost stalling but didn't. So is the MAF toast?

    I purchased a '99 Black on black 996 this past weekend. http://images.snapfish.com/34576%3B4723232...%3C676875nu0mrj Car just needs a bit more TLC to be close to perfect. Can you guys suggest where I can get the best price on the following items? -Tray/pocket below radio to replace current cassette holder (who listens to tapes anymore???) -Cigarette lighter or cover for hole in dash -Backseat release lever (passenger side) -Carrera Logo for engine lid (use to have a GT3 badge, once removed...a few scratches were revealed underneath. Looking to put another badge on to cover sratches -Oil filter -Air Filter -Black floormats (Driver's side is worn) -Silver Shift knob and black boot (Current one is a bit scratched) -Jack pad -Black OEM mirror Bras -Cupholders (for the wife's starbucks :biggulp: ) Thanks in advance!!
