    My belt tensioner seems to be toast. It isnt providing the necessary tension on the belt... When I replace the tensioner, What is the part # that I actually need. Im assuming that the roller and the arm are ok? Do i replace the hydraulic portion of it or is it all one piece? thanks!

    My trunk release lever is EXTREMELY hard to pull. I feel Im going to break something and it has a decent amount of slop. Any ideas? Its a difficult topic to search. Id like to fix it before I really break something.

    I just replaced my 4spoke with a 3spoke and I have the same problem... Did you find a solution? The wiring seems correct and it looks like it could only even go on one way. This is WEIRD!

    Great stuff! I will be doing this next weekend I think

    I am going to bump this up since Im sure someone int he past couple of years has more experience. I searched and it led me to this... Im having the same issue and want to DIY today but would like a preface... -Keith

    I figured it out...Pretty easy but I panicked!

    I just took out my parking brake and i didnt notice these 2 small pieces and untill they fell... Does anyone have a schematic or can tell me where these pieces go? They are a circular and a cylinder type piece. The only pieces other than the 2 nuts...They go on the rod from the brake lever somehow i think... -Keith

    It is not the problem. It acts as if the key forgot who the car was... I did an extensive search and it seems to be a fairly common problem...I am now looking for alternatives to 200-300 for a new key! I did not find anything about a switch though

    Is there a fuse for the keyless system? The key fob still lights up so Its not the battery. Its not a long red light or anything either... What can I do? Resetting does nothing... -Keith

    I know that the speedometer reads higher on the 02, but with that aside, will it work? Also, will the DME override the cluster to display the correct mileage?? please help!

    I have to pull the key out and then i put it right back in...
  12. Gator911
    I always leave the key in the ignition while in the garage...Maybe i should stop
  13. Gator911
    Wanna trade me?? haha

    Sweet car! I wish i had LSD and clear headlights! -Keith

    Oh its not a temendous amount, less then a Qt....It just burns, and doesnt fall in one place. That is why i suggest a larger container to cover a bigger area... Look at it this way; it's enough fuel to fill that filter, and a tad extra from the lines...
  16. Gator911
    The clip, actually a worm gear clamp, holds the fuel filter in place...There are also the 2 disconnects, one on each side of the filter, for the fuel lines. A good amount of fuel will come out. Definitely have some rags and/or a drain bucket. It's always fun when fuel runs down your arm and burns your little armpit hairs! The tank will not drain itself, the only fuel that comes out is the fuel that is in the line... -Keith

    The underbody panels are easy to get off...There are just a bunch of (i think 10mm) bolts holding it up. The only thing you want to watch for is that you can still get the panel off and access to the bolts in the area that you use to put you jack stands... The fuel filter isn't THAT bad if you dont reuse the old clip. I was cussing the old clip and just opted for tie-straps. To reach the filter can be difficult. It kind of depends on how big your arm is...My arm was starting to scrape just as i reached the filter. If if you cant reach it with your arm, you can push or pull it with a long screw driver poking up between the lines... Dont be affraid! It might take you a little time but it will save you money and you will learn! REMEMBER to keep all your receipts. No one will take you word for it that it was done without documentation! -keith

    Hi Kim, that's what I was planning to do. I'm just not sure if the one button of my key would be in the correct position for it to work correctly with on of the two button surfaces of the design key. Would be a little stupid though if I had to hit the hood button to open the doors. Thorsten It works and i have done it with my 1-button key... The design key works as well as the carrera GT key... -Keith

    I just did my 60k miles service while also replacing my RMS, IMS, and clutch... The service is very easy. A lot of it is visual...The most tedious part will be the sparkplugs but your car needs some TLC too!!(check my thread on rennlist) The poly-rib belt is easy! -Keith

    Suncoast advertises their clutch kit for $430 on the web...OEM parts at a good price
  21. Gator911
    Where is the best place to get Porsche special tools, especially the ones for the RMS... I am going to do the seal myself and think i am going to make the investment to do it right thanks -Keith

    Porsche didn't start making PDF's of the manuals until late 2002 or 2003. Maybe I can find time to scan mine this weekend and add it to the manuals here. Thanks Loren, always a help... I dont expect you to spend the time to scan all those pages but it is nice having one in the car, and on on the PC....or one even at all!! :P -Keith PS In the mean time can someone answer my 2 needs? I tried to search...

    When i got my car, it came with an 02+ owners manual... I am planning to buy the right manual but i am without that and the booklet in the fuse box... I would like to look over the manual in the mean time to figure out which bulbs go in the tail lights and what that switch is on the fuse box cover :help: Keith
  24. Gator911
    I just did the DIY mod to extend my keyless entry range, and while i had the visors off i removed the labels. Well i grounded the power in the vanity mirror and blew the fuse... Now when i try to lock the car with the remote, it honks twice and doesnt lock... Can someone help me out here? I need to lock my car!!(with the remote :D ) TIA -Keith EDIT: Well i think that it does...I dont have the booklet showing the fuse box diagrams but i just found one on the this forum, and the fuse for central locking and alarm is the same for interior lights. Can someone confirm that replacing the fuse will give me full fuctionality?

    I had this problem identified during my PPI, and the mechanic said that their is a spring plate or something of that nature that has just weakened....I think he mentioned it was around an $80 part and a simple fix... The previous owner put a rigged up spaced between the horn to keep it pushed out for now untill he could fix it...Well he never did so now its my job to do that -Keith
