Porsche 996TT

My C5 Z06 is lifeless. It absolutely was taken from me by a girl on her behalf mobile phone. It only had 50k miles. It absolutely was therefore younger. Therefore youthful.

I've decided to try to make certain its death had not been in vain. Equipped with a fat settlement check and a ridiculously low interest rate loan to leverage some money, I bumped my spending plan from 30k to 50k and are looking tough at E92 M3s and 996TTs.

I came across exactly what appears to be a too-good-to-be-true, absolute peach of an 03 996TT, which includes myself afraid. It can't be as awesome a deal because it's. In addition know the minimum about 996s of all 911s, therefore am double-scared.

Therefore, i will organize to have the vehicle examined before I fly completely to seattle (I'm in sc). I would like a shop in north seattle that knows the automobiles, and I require a checklist of things I'd like them to go over.

Here's the checklist to date:

Deliverables:

1. Owner's Manuals, Repair Booklet
2. All tips
3. Broadcast rule card
4. Tools
5. Service papers with recalls and TSBs done
6. Print out of over revs Type 1 and Type 2 error rules

Inspection things:

1. Look for twin Mass Flywheel Transmission noises (rattling, slamming noises at engine begin, load shift, during idling or when switching from the engine). If audible, test has to be carried out by service department to find out if replacement becomes necessary or if working properly and sound is related to an alternate element.

2. Check Oil Pressure. If oil stress light is on, insufficient oil force whenever engine is began. Non-return check device is installed between the oil tank plus the engine to stop container from emptying in to the crankcase when motor is turned off. Modified check valve installed from motor quantity M96/70-64 1 01282. New part features a light blue paint dot.

3. Check for energy loss and insufficient acceleration. Bad speed and lack of energy because of the stress hose pipe connecting the turbocharger inner cooler is free. Brand new stress hose pipe as of VIN 99 41S 68 5752 (July 2000). Brand new pressure hose pipe part figures: 996 110 630 74 (R) and 996 110 631 73 (L)

4. Search for manual transmission harm. Second equipment pops down. Caused by a assembly fault. Just takes place on transmissions around the following quantity: 6530. Operate the car and rollback from the throttle to see if it pops down.

5. Determine if clutch pedal sticks. Clutch pedal cannot return to its initial place or can become stuck. The axial movement into the plug-in couplings and also the connected rolling of the sealing ring can acknowledge atmosphere to the hydraulic system. A snap ring, PN 999 230 685 40, needs to be fitted plus the system.

6. Check to see if clutch pedal sticks. Clutch pedal may not come back to its preliminary place or may become caught. Always check servant cylinder and accumulator for replacement.

7. Verify that the clutch pedal does not completely achieve original place. After pushing the clutch, the clutch pedal is slow another up-and doesn't completely attain its initial place. This is certainly caused by atmosphere in the hydraulic system.

8. Check for front axle differential noises. The front-axle differential creates noises in 4th, 5th, and 6th gears whenever vehicle is accelerated under a small load (from 30-50mph) in automobiles equipped with manual transmission and Michelin 18" wheels. This can be brought on by rolling tolerances for the forward wheels about the trunk rims in conjunction with 18" Michelin tires. It is not a fault. The noises neither result in any damage.

9. Search for noises in the steering. Pressing or grating noises during steering. Grating- This noise takes place when steering movements are made round the center place to complete lock position. New stop dish needed PN 996 343 107 03. Clicking - This sound happens briefly before switching the controls to full lock. A loose rod nut triggers the sound. The perfect solution is is always to tighten the strut piston pole fastening nut towards the specified torque. Also, an extended little bit of hose should be put in in the first few turns of springtime to change faster one initially positioned.

10. Check for noisy whistling noise from motor area . a noisy whistling sound is heard (both outside and inside) from motor area while driving. The sound is caused by the stress control valve in the steering oil reservoir. Valve vibrates strongly whenever hydraulic oil flows through it. Resolve would be to replace the whole steering oil reservoir with all the modified force control valve - PN 996 314 920 34

11. Check for noises in the rear chair really. Audible clicking-type noises in back seat really because moves for the transverse reinforcement pipe and contact with the rear seat really panel. Resolve should install felt tape amongst the support pipe in addition to back chair really panel.

12. Check out the microswitch. Front lid lock issues with micro switch. Small switch on the bottom level of front top latch may stick causing: the light not to ever illuminate whenever trunk area is established; the light to not ever go off as soon as the trunk area is shut (draining the battery); the security horn will appear whenever locking the automobile. An innovative new micro switch was set up through the center of Feb 2000 and certainly will be identified by a yellow or blue paint dot in the small switch.

13. Check for noises inside home lock area. Catch club rubbing into the home lock. Resolve is always to spray silicone lubricant spray in the affected places (within the internal part of the lock).

14. Check for noises from sunroof frame. Changes in the brackets by Feb 2001 (from VIN 99 X1S 68 6484). Movement involving the brand new sunroof framework together with roof triggers creaking noises. Repair is always to install two pieces of Teflon tape and retorque bolts to brand-new specifications of 9.7Nm(7.4ft-lb).

15. Look for noises in the Tilting/Sliding sunroof. Muffled rattle from back part of the tilting/sliding sunroof because of the losing advantage guard when it comes to water drain bracket. Once the advantage shield is missing, the roofing liner can bump in to the sliding sunroof framework and cause noises. Repair is put in brand new edge shield when it comes to liquid strain bracket.

16. Check always rear spoiler operation. Rear spoiler hydraulic rams tend to be a typical failure point.

17. Always check vanity mirror. If it's not working the fix (after validating fuse and lamp) would be to replace the vanity mirror PN 996 731 903 01 01C

18. Check if airbag warning light happens. If that's the case also it offers: Fault Codes 46 and 49. Fix is change the chair connect connector and put in a belt buckle (passenger and motorist part)
