The Porsche 911 996, there is a specific way that you can get power to your car to allow you to open the frunk. Open the plastic door cover near the driver’s side pedals. There is a red lead that can be pulled out here. After you pull this red lead out of the fuse box, you can attach the positive lead of a a jump starter or jumper cable to it. This will gain you access to the frunk, which is where the car battery is located.
When I bought my 2001 Porsche 911, the seller only had one key for the car. It’s not comforting knowing that you only have one key for your 996. If you lose your one and only key, you’ll have to suffer the inconvenience of being stranded, but also with getting your car towed to the dealership where you’ll be forced to pay whatever they charge you to get you a new key. So, consider getting a spare replacement key.
Almost all MK1 Audi TT owners with manual transmissions are going to experience the feeling of a loose or rattling shifter at some point. It’s only a matter of time for the shifter bushings and other various shifting parts to degrade and wear down over time. Luckily, there’s a kit out there made by Dieselgeek that will address this issue and revitalize your shifting experience.
I was perusing the Facebook Marketplace ads like I usually do and this 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet came up on my feed. I wasn’t even expecting to find a 911 as the typical price point for my project cars is usually under $10k. However, this 996 popped up for a pretty good price so I had to send a message to the owner.
If you need to do a full brake job on the 5th generation Honda Odyssey (years 2018-2026), it may take the good part of an afternoon to do. However, if you don’t need to replace the rotors and only need to change out the brake pads, then you can get it done in an hour or less. Since it doesn’t take a long time to do just the brake pads, you can plan the work around your busy schedule.
For all the time that I’ve had my 2002 Audi TT, it has been practically impossible to move the front seats forward or backward. Even when I pull up on the release handle in front of the seat and put all my strength into pushing the seat back or pulling it forward, the seat would barely move. Obviously something is causing the seat to not glide freely along the seat rails.
When I had to replace some of the shifter bushings on my 2002 Audi TT, I had to remove the center console to get access to the shifter components. Removing the center console is not difficult, but it does require some extra care as the plastic pieces can break easily if you’re not removing the pieces carefully. I put this guide together to show you how to remove each of the pieces for the center console to help you though this process.
It’s hard to believe that I’ve had my 2020 Ford F-150 for five years and I still haven’t gotten the windows tinted. After moving to Southern California, I knew I would definitely need the windows tinted to block out the UV rays and to keep the heat out as well. Adding the window tint will also be able to balance out the odd look of the front windows being clear white the rear ones are darker from the colored glass.
In this post, I will first show you how to get that sliding door closed so you can continue driving where you need to get going. And next, I’ll guide you through some steps towards addressing the issue so that it will close properly in the future. This post is focused on the issue where the automatic sliding door won’t close at the last minute and will re-open on its own. This leaves you with the issue where the automatic sliding door just won’t close by itself.
