  7. A/C works, I haven't remove the serpentine belt yet and verify that, But it runs when engine in ON.
  8. I think can be, I was using the air conditioning at 76F, didn't noticed if cool air was working.
  9. air box is fine serpentine belt is fine Thanks
  10. I took my car for a ride after replaced the sway bar drop links and everything was fine until I note that the RPM's was slowing down after each red light in downtown, after few red lights the car sudden drop in RPM's stall the engine twice then I turn off the air conditioning and the RPM's improve in a way that doesn't matter much. I took the car home for a check up and let car run in the garage, everything was fine except the a strong plastic burned odor form the engine compartment, couldn't see anything except plastic residues in the engine lid, I immediately thought that something was making friction the pulley so I decide to remove Air Filter off and found this. :huh: . Something is melt in this part here label 996.126.011.51. Need your advice guys.
  11. I visually inspect the rotors and there's no cracks, I don't track my car neither. Will post pics later. Thanks,
  12. I will take some pictures later on, If not, I will go to add the rotors, I just want to make sure if still able to work with the pads only.
  13. It is possible to resurface drilled rotors? According to the mechanic it need new rotors and brake pads, he stated that is not possible to resurface the rotors. It's okay to replace the brake pads without resurface if need it? I'm in the process to replace the brake pads as is suggested in the maintenance forum. Please help
  14. Just to update, this case is closed, I replace the clutch kit and the heatercore and all dissapear.
  15. Thanks Loren, I took the car to the mechanic today and the release bearing was bad :thankyou: , as you said guys, but an additional inspection reveal that the clutch pedal helper spring was also bad. I won't go for an additional 240's to replace it and wait 6 days for part delivery. I want to take it calm and DIY. B) Need your help. Thanks in advance
  16. Well, The summer is ON and I bought the clutch, I got a SACHS clutch kit on ebay for $439, My mechanic estimate the labor for around 600. Is this estimate right or should be less? What's your opinion?
  17. My main interest use is to remove the wheels and clean them on the backside as my porsche wheels are 5 spokes the dirt is easily visible and nothing better than a clean wheels.B)
  18. Hello, I may ask which is the best electric wrench or electric wrench kit on a porsche? I have in ind this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1-TON-ELECTRIC-SCISSOR-JACK-12V-1-2-IMPACT-WRENCH-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2a0e71b80eQQitemZ180630960142QQptZMotorsQ5fAutomotiveQ5fTools but is there any better let me know. Jose B)
  19. Thanks, I just ordered one from Pelican parts next day shipping and they are far cheaper than the dealer. The heater core was replaced nextday sucessfully after these pictures. :thankyou: Jose: Looks like you definitely found the problem. You might want to consider taking your heater core to a radiator shop and to have them evaluate whether it's possible to seal it. They can usually turn that around in a few hours and it's going to cost a lot less than a replacement from Porsche. Thanks for posting your progress and the photos. Regards, Maurice.
  20. As I promise my Porsche already hybernate, the winter is gone here in Michigan. I just want to follow up my thought about the coolant smell thru air conditioner and in fact was true. My heater exchanger was leaky as I check thru the proper steps. Here I include few pictures. I will order the Heater core today as I don't think Porsche have in stock, I'll try pelican parts first. As you can see in the pictures there is evidence of deposit residue and the bottom of the heater exchanger. Well, that's all. :thankyou: B)
  21. What most worry me is that I have the CDR-210 which has no decent single cable. That was essentially the idea behind my suggestion to use a "switching" 3.5mm jack. This is a jack to which you run both a source wire and a return (per channel). When a plug is inserted, that source is selected (mechanically), and when it is removed, the other (default) source is sent down the return. This appears to be how Becker Audio's hack for the CDR23 works, using the FM input in the head end. On another note, it puzzles me that no one has come up with a comprehensive CD-changer emulator that works over Bluetooth. SIgh.
