    From a Tiptronic A86/00 to an A86/20

    Hello, and if I may ... Following our first Cars'n Coffee here in my home town, I was forced to put my 986 'on hold' while I decided to fix or replace my transmission. The car is a '97 2.5 with an A86/00 transmission. A search locally has found a low mileage transmission from a 2001 S. A response from the seller indicates it to be an A86/20 transmission. Should I consider this change and what can I expect or may have to also replace with the 'upgrade' besides possibly the TCU Thanks!

    996 Calibration: I'm not smart enough to read what PIWIS is telling me

    My 2001 C2 top has not worked the entire five years I've owned the car, full saga below.* Without all the back story, here's where I am today. When I click "Calibrate," nothing happens and PIWIS 3 returns "Function inactive, end position not reached." The front latch is reset per the service manual, and the clamshell potentiometer was installed at as close to 6.2k ohms as I can get it (about 6.24-6.26). [I rebuilt this engine in my dining room with my cat, 12,000 miles ago—I may not know what I'm doing, but I can follow directions.] Top is in service position. Actual Values / Input Signals La…

    Heater pipe replacement part # 94810606910

    Does anyone have any step by step info on how to replace the plastic heater pipe with the aluminium pipe part # 94810606910. There was an attempt made on a Rennlist posting but no conclusion. The 6 Speed site shows the before and after, but very little about the how, and it appears that the engine was dropped anyway to replace the rear distribution manifold. I don't want to drop the engine, that's out of the question, so any tips would be welcome. I have removed the intake manifold and fuel rail to replace the starter for an intermittent partial crank starter issue. Found an abandoned mouse n…

    Vanishing coolant mystery

    As I mentioned in the other post, my US 996 is back on the road. But. But, there was an interesting mystery: the coolant was way down. As in, down by 3 quarts. The interesting part is: there was none on the ground, there was none in the engine bay (I assume the water pump has the usual weep hole which would cause pretty visible residue and/or spray. There was no coolant in the oil and, as far as I could tell, no oil in the coolant. What's my next diagnostic step? I am at a bit (a lot) of a loss. Thank you everyone!

    996 C2 stalling at stops

    Hello there, I am new to this forum and may not be listing all the necessary information, so please let me know what other information is necessary to troubleshoot this issue. My 2000 C2 stalls when gassing from stop (esp embarrassing at traffic lights), it has 69K miles on it and I have tried to troubleshoot and replaced several parts but not able to pin-point the source of this issue. Happens to it when it is hot (>180 deg) or cold. It seems to have started after the fuel pump change. The following parts have been changed so far (within last 500 miles); - New fuel pump and fuel filter - New…
