My car has the original fitting in place. I was informed that I should change the " Connectiion Piece for the Water Hose to Oil Separator" as it is made of plastic and is known to fail. I have not done this before but it looks fairly straight forward. I just want to replace the pads and the sensors and NOT the rotors. My brake sensor light came on this weekend so its time to replace some pads. Vendor didn't save a copy.Ĭan I still have the key programmed to function with the door lock feature and the front boot lid? I figured the alarm is probably not going to be functional without the code. My new key was given to me without the 24 digit identification tag. No explanation for the pulsating was offered other. I returned the vehicle to the shop and they removed and tested the alternator and it was found to be in good condition. The pulsating was first noticed soon after the alternator was replaced. I had an unrelated issue last year and as a result the alternator was replaced by a well respected Porsche service shop in Clearwater Florida. The headlights and dash light pulsate every time I operate the vehicle - day or night. Suggestions on how or where to locate security code? It's not in the manual that came with the car or elsewhere on the car. Y5021121 (but one or both 2's could have been Z's). READ ANSWERĭisconnected battery to work on my 2000 996 Cabriolet, radio now thinks I stole my car, so I pushed TP button and retrieved Serial no. I change the oil in the spring annually due to the low miles driven and can pick up the 0. The car has been to one 2 day HPDE event and is mostly used for spirited driving during the warmer months in New Jersey about 2,500 miles per year with 31,xxx miles on the odometer. I'm not a fan of zero weight oil's but I currently use the 0W-40 Mobile 1.

I've done some research on this topic but can't really get a good answer as to the benefit of Porsche Classic Oil for the 996. Questions for '911 (1999 – 2004)' Thoughts on Porsche Classic 5w-50 oil for 996?
