bump...........still in need of one.

Hello,

check www.dcautomotive.com

good luck

My 99' 996 C2 has a particular sound when I press the clutch, is increased when I accelerate the engine idling or running, "sounds like a old power steering pump". The clutch pressure is good. The sound look like is coming from the front side of the vehicle. What is it?

And to complete it has a coolant smell in air conditioning. I check the coolant reseirvor and in fact has decreased. I checked for any leaks near engine and front bumper and nothing! It is possible the heater core? Where to check?

I'll appreciate any help

I'll let you know.

Thanks

Check the bulb socket and then check the socket in the fender where the headlight plugs in. The inner fender socket can be broken easily by someone slamming the headlight into place and/ or the pins in the socket occasionally get pushed out and do not make good contact then.

One of the headlight courtesy light specifically the passenger side is not ON, I check the bulb and is okay. Before this light was ON and Off between starting the engine On and OFF now is permanent OFF.

What can be the problem.

Very Nice Info Thanks :D If you have more of those necessary videos let me know I'll be glad to see them.

As I was entering the expressway this guy in his 4 X truck deliberately moves into the only place I can enter so I hit the brakes & horn but HORN! I don't use the horn very much & this is on an 04' Targa with 15000 miles but I sure needed it then. Can't possibly be both horns but after reviewing the info on the site I figured that was all that was left & anyway I could at least clean the radiators while I was at it. Well it was both horns & a trip to Pep Boys for the double the decible model worked out great. Only issue was with the rivits by the wheel wheels. They took me forever to get out. I tried the lubricant but on my car there are two differant plunger type of rivits. There is the standard described in this thread which was relatively easy to get off but there is another type that has an off set plunger. You can tell the differance by the indentation on either side of the plunger suitable to fit a small flat blade screwdriver. The first one took me a good hour to get off. Use lubricant & work each side of the plunger until you get it all the way out. I moved it in & out to try to get the lubricant to work a bit better as well as side to side. I did this to release the interior wheel shields as I could not bend mine from behind the bumper to get to the interior screw under the side marker light. Many thanks for the video & write up. Btw I don't think both horns "suddenly" went out but rather one went & I never realized it and then the other just stoped an a very inconviniet time.

Thank you very much :D

Armrest & storage

1999 C2 996

Model and year of your car please?

Also, please be more specific - the front center console (where the HVAC and radio are)?

or

the rear center console (where the storage/armrest) are?

The B&M shifter shifter instructions are quite good for this.

You can download them here.

Jose, how did you know the evap was leaking? I have thin oil appearing on my front driver side carpets (not much, but the surface of the carpet is oily, not engine oil, much thinner). I assume this could be either a/c lubricant, or brake fluid? It is discolouring the (black) carpet, so maybe it's brake fluid?

It's summer time in Miami, and I'm driving around without a/c at the moment. :) I guess I better get to work on fixing this sometime soon, before I melt...

Some body diagnosed with ultra ear device to detect small leaks plus if take a sneaky look thru the blower compartment you can see the evaporator oily.

I did a second diagnose by using the UV refrigerant with UV light detector to confirm my self, a $20 thing.

I really don't focus on only one "missing certification" as others aftermarket wheels have "less certifications" than others and people still benerate them.

I'm in the market for a set of 4 18" 996 Carrera Lite alloy wheels. I would prefer Porsche OEM in as new condition but not having any luck. I've seen replica wheels made in Italy supposedly to Porsche specs. Anybody have any experience with these. Are replicas any good?

Got mines 2 weeks ago, they're very good. And saves you a lot $$$.

I'm not promoting them but the cheapest seem to be here. http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/

also check their store @ ebay. :)

They sell it as "on bolt" no need to drill or other mods. What are the Pro's and Con's?

Any feedback?

I has driving my porsche for 4 years with aftermarket wheels since I adquire the car. I just change them to 5 spoke turbo style last week and the drive is a lot way better with stock wheels. Best thing done in all this years.

996 C2 1999

I need some help trying to identify the part numbers and/or locate a pair of female mating connectors (20-pin and 18-pin) for a 996.645.312.00 HAES M680 6x40W DSP amplifier that I purchased on eBAY. My Boxster 2000S that I purchased has the wiring connectors chopped off the harness in the trunk area, so I am trying to restore it to its original setup. The head unit is the CDR-220 with a DSP control panel. Any help would be appreciated.

my recommendation is go and ask everyone on ebay who has an amplifier for sell. I got lucky that way.

No, I just unmount the interior parts at home, the mechanic couldn't work at my home so I took it to his garage in the conditions you see in the first picture. The mechanic just replace the evap from the housing. For me was to much complex to work in the evap housing area. Then the dumb mechanic didn't let me mount everything on his garage for insurance purpose. Then I towed back home to finish it. Just take this as a experience.

If the problem is just the evap. I don't think is relevant to get the whole housing.

Pelican parts is the only one that I know that sell you evap alone as an option with good price. Don't waste your time on other brands of evap as the configuration lines in/out are different and won't fit on the housing.

Hello

I solve this thing almost my self. The plan was to buy the evap at pelicanparts. Dismount all you see in this pics with the workshop manual took 6 hrs, very easy. except the evap housing in which the mechanic dismounted and mounted. I replaced my self the expansion valve and dryer. Then I mount the rest back in like in 5 hrs @ home. And return for air recharge.

-evap $273

-dryer $41 "may be better price at ebay"

-expansion valve $33 "may be better price at ebay"

-car tow round trip $200

-replace the evap from housing and put it back $400

-air recharge $200

total: $1,147

satisfaction priceless

if you can dig in on the evap housing complexity and get a air recharge housing gauge system for $40 at autozone plus refrigenrant and oil you save $ 800.

I found the 18 pins plug, need to put cables and pins contacts. The plug can be requested as a sample from tycoelectronics.com part # is 1-1355350-1.

About the 20 pins socket, the part # is 4-828 882-1 this somehow is restricted, call them.

good luck or http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...mp;hl=amplifier

Thanks, Link Corrected.

Well after all that they mail me a sample. which does not come with pins just the housing to built from scratch. the small pins has to be requested from same people and assembled by your self.

I don't know too much about convertions, but i know that exist a RUF convertion kit and supercharger thing.
