After several weeks I finally was able to go for a ride!
Looking for info on anything I should be looking at, or have looked after that would be a common issue on a Millennium Edition!
Any help or info is much appreciated.
Congrats on first 911! Any 911 is addictive, fantastic and a blast to drive. However, buying a $70-$80k + (when new) is not the same as buying a used Toyota or something similar in $cost. Whatever is worn-out, wrong, or neglected is going to cost an owner a wheelbarrow full of $$$. If you can do "TASKS-REPAIRS" yourself, source some parts as "used parts", and so on, the cost could be less. Silly items like "Only1 KEY" are pretty much $$$, up to around $800 +/-. Ridiculous. JMO.
You step into an entire new world of how to wash it, clean it, ceramic this or that, and a jillion other things. I did not turn OFF the A/C (temps 110F-123F) on a 1200mi. drive to get C4S home, because I could not figure out how to turn it ON again. Simple stuff, hidden in buttons and German thinking.
Still, after all is said and done, fix this ($1400) or that ($350), align ($200). new tires- used "new-to-me" wheels ~$1300, various tools and QuickJack ~$2000, it is worth it.
Nobody compliments/ask questions at gas stop/shopping about a Toyota or Subaru XRx(?), but they ask about a C4S. It is part of the P-magic. Nearly any P-car is like a go-cart on 1000 steroids and top speed seems unlimited - Hah, try NV desert roads US50-etc, or hereabouts in Rocky Mountain locals. Straight line speed is cool, but a lot of new less-rated cars these days are faster. Your 911 is 20+ years old and still blows the doors off of most cars of today. A Toyota or Subaru or Electric-BS is faster? Electric "may" be OK for coastal crowds, but is totally worthless out in the west with big distances. Fast is fast for seat of pants, something to hear! So what if a new Nissan is .2 seconds faster to 0-60? You will own the corners and be able to apply the go-pedal. Freaks them out every time when you make the corner faster and inside of them, my kind of humor.
Have fun with your new 911, learn it, I mean really LEARN IT . and have a good time. ANY Porsche is a fantastic machine.
YMMV
Exactly first thing I did and I needed it when I got back to drive it :-)
Had to connect it to something at the engine for the + of the battery and the - on the lock ---- and then the frunk will open from the inside
That is a great tip indeed :-D
haha, absolutely second this. Just dealt with it over the weekend. Pull the front bumper off, give it a clean in there and reroute the hood latch cable
I did this a little different, ... Didn't know you could use a hood latch cable!
Unlock the driver door with the key (mechanical).
Open the trunk where the engine is and see picture:
Connect a jump pack/charger
positive (+)-(number 1)
to that black post (it opens to a metal thing). Clamp
negative (�)-(number 2)
to a solid ground (lock hinge).
Use a
low‑amp supply
(you�re not starting the car, just waking the electronics).
Wait ~10�30 seconds for interior lights/chimes to wake and unlock with key button.
Press the
front trunk release switch
by the driver�s seat
Hood pops. Open it, connect your charger/jump leads directly to the battery.
