Ignition Switch Replacement

This applies equally to all variants of the 996: NA, Turbo, GT2, GT3. They all use the same ignition switch. The "ignition switch" as referred to in this post is just the electrical portion of the ignition - not the tumblers (where you actually insert the key, official name "ignition ...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

I guess the real question is how long until there enough people that people start asking really dumb questions so they can be snidely made fun of . That's really the life blood of a thread like this. In unrelated news, I need to get new shoes on my bomx5ter and I think one of my calibers needs to b...

What's in your toolbag?

What tool do you have in your toolbag that you think is worth its weight in gold? Maybe it's a certain brand of torque wrench that has served flawlessly for 20 years, making it a trusted workshop companion and also a good value, even if it was a bit pricey when you bought it. I'll start with the new...

If you just post a link, things like craigslist ads commonly go away after a few days, so save the info for future users by including the te...

Re: List of Common Breakdowns

I'll start with the dreaded "Spoiler Failure" warning. The 996tt has a spoiler on the rear that rises about 2 1/2 inches when the car reaches 75 mph. It came from the factory with a hydraulic actuation system. The factory system will break down - not an "if", but a "when&quo...

List of Common 996TT Breakdowns

Let's make a list of the stuff that commonly breaks on the 996tt, and add a quick snippet of knowledge on the ramifications and common fixes. If you want to get in-depth on a particular repair, then please start a separate thread. For example, if you want to post a DIY on bleeding a hydraulic spoile...

Re: Spreading the word

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to find a way to let the Turbros know.

Well, at least as soon as I'm not banned anymore.
