If it was not that way before then take it back. Chances are the connection is loose or the sender has gone bad.

QUOTE (Philip54 @ Dec 12, 2009 - 07:41 AM) I have trouble filling completely the fuel tank of my 2000 996 (the last 2-3 gallons) and, when I do manage to fill the tank completely, there is smell of fuel inside the car. Are these problems related? Any suggestions about how to fix them? Thanks please use the search function as this has been covered multiple times.

If all you want to do is hear your engine better, a microphone in the engine compartment fed through your stereo would let you do it without chasis mods. Add a little equalizer, and you can refine the tone to sound just the way you want. Big and throaty--no problem. Add a small mixer and you could vary how much it dominates any music you play. You might end up moving the mic around so it picks up the sound at the best point for what you want...

It's the exact same kit sold by Porsche, but if you buy it from Porsche you have the privilege of paying an additional $400. If you buy it from Porsche, you get the nice Porsche sticker on it. My car is a '97 Boxster and I refilled it with 6 gallons of 50/50 mix- coolant...

Reliability of 996 Engines

Hello all, This is my first post in the forum. I recently purchased a 2000 996 with 111K on it. Since I am a dealer, I was able to pull all service records, etc, from Porsche and found (before purchasing) that no major problems occurred with the vehicle since new. Oil changes were done at the very least, every 5000 miles and all scheduled maintenance was completed. After purchasing the vehicle, I drove it TWO MILES before I heard a pop...

It's better and quicker to drain the coolant system by removing the drain plug on the rear of the engine, while the car is lift up on the front. Refilling can be done with the vacuum machine.

Problem: You need a 17mm open end crowfoot. But normal crowfeet aren't long enough and the head of the torque wrench doesn't clear the strut. Solution: I put a 17mm combination wrench on the hex of the stabilizer link, and fitted a 17mm driver (drain plug tool) into the box end of the combination wrench. Keep the wrench at a 90 degree angle to the torque wrench and no correction factor ...
