2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Questions & Answers
Recommended tyre pressure
It depends on the rating of the tire. They are rated as such as S, T, ect. Depending on that rating specify a the speed code. Go online and check for tires and speed rating and you should get your answer. Also usually the higher the speed rating the worse the warranty. When you buy the tires they will be able to tell you what the rating is. Good luck.
Radio
You should find the info in the owner's manual unless it is after market stero. Then I would refer to the instruction manual. Otherwise I would take your car to a good, reputable, car audio shop and let them reset it. Inexpensive and your frustration level will make it worth the cost.
Brake Lights Flicker
check wiring and shorts around clutch lever, make sure its not pushing another wire onto brake light switch?
New Porsche 911 battery April 2012, car won't turn over at all.
It could be that your alternator is dead again. Check to see that you have at least 12 volts across the battery when you're trying to start the engine. It could also be the switch that tells the car that the clutch is pushed all the way in (for manual models, or that the car is in park for auto shifters)

The location of the trunk "handle" is on the left bottom side of the driver's seat where you'll see an image to "lift" the bar to open the trunk which in the front of the car on a Porsche.
How long can you leave a 2001 911 undriven w/new battery?
My advice before you fit a new battery it is better to put it on charge for a hour and the fit it on the car. Do not rely that is ready to go. if you charge it and fit it then you ca leave it for 10-15 days maximum if not any leak is there.
Porsche parking brake light and convertible top
you should be able to get to the ebrake switch by the e brake lever. If you can, to get top up you can cross the two wires going to the switch together and get the top up normally with switch. If this turns the parking brake indicator on on the dash, then order yourself a new switch and replace.
How much should an alternator & battery cost
It depends in part on the labour rate charged by the workshop that has done the work but the total price seems excessive .The parts component of this work should should be about $725 - 750 minimum.These are expensive cars to maintain which is one reason the 996s are very cheap to buy on the used car market. Just check the price, for exanmple, of each coil pack (you have 6 of them) and the air /oil separator - just 2 parts that require periodic replacement on these cars. The engines on these 996s (other than the Turbo, GT2 and GT3) have a poor intermediate shaft bearing design. The bearing wears excessively and fails without warning as a result of a loss of lubrication to the bearing. This causes major engine damage and a new engine is required. Many of these cars have experienced this problem and have had engines replaced.If you own one of these cars you need to familiarise yourself with the common problems and how to best deal with them. I don't have time to go into further details now. There is a heap of good information readily available.
Not sure of the model
Hi
Remove the radio, and make sure the yellow/red wire doesn't have
12v... If it does, you may need to trouble shoot your ignition switch. If it
doesn't, your radio may be bad. Make sure your DOME light dimmer switch is not
on.If light still on the radio, then remove the 10 amp fuse for the radio.If
light goes out you can either replace the radio or re-install the fuse each
time to listen to your radio. There is a short somewhere causing the radio
light to stay on.
Please get back to us if you have further query or else please
accept the solution.

Here is how you can check. Start your vehicle and pull off the hot side battery terminal, the red color. If your vehicle dies instantly, your alternator is bad. If it continues to run, it is not. Let me know. It may be other things.
Need security code for 2006
hello there
All you have to do is call your local Porsche dealer with your shasi (win)number and they will provide you with your code.
Unless in your glove box is a owners manual and in there is a little card with the code.
