Need some help ME folks & Bros. The PSM/ABS lights are acting up on my dash. Mechanic says need to replace ABS Pump module assembly. Anyone knows who has a used but working ABS Pump module Part# 996.355.955.47. Apparently Porsche does not make this part anymore and it's superseded by xxx955.AX that costs an arm and a leg (>6k!). Any assistance will be highly appreciated...Sam
It is likely that the superseded part is better, they usually are. A superseded part is usually a redesign due to a flaw of some kind or it is from the facelifted cars (996.2 or even 997.1) My ME has the same lights that come on and is from my steering wheel angle sensor. It isn't bad, just the idiots that aligned the car didn't do it with the wheel straight. It's off just enough that it throws the system off.
How many of you guys change the IMS barring . I just want to now percentage of dual versus single row my cars production date is 1999.
Scheduled an IMS Retrofit Kit install this week. I've driven her over 22k miles in 2 years and she's 19 now so I think its time. I'll let you guys know if she originally came with a single or dual row. She'll be getting an upgraded dual row either way.

You might want to make sure that you still have the original motor first. Some where changed by Porsche for various reasons. There is no way to tell what bearing you have until you actually see it's flange.
There is a company in Łódź city in Poland with 30 years experience in this job. They are sourcing the leather from Porsche, Mercedes, BMW suppliers and make the seats and other leather interior parts same as factory. I do not want to advertise the company but if someone is interested I share their web page adress: http://www.tapcar.pl/
Website is in Polish only but you can see some of their works and try to contact if interested in some job to be done.

So my car came with a dual row bearing after all. Dropped the car off in the morning and and the RetroFit install was done by the afternoon. Oil was drained and inspected first and if there are any flakes, installers are required not to proceed. Once completed my installer filled out the LN Engineering certificate with the bearing number and install date and also gave me the old bearing. Its smaller than it looks online. Car is running great (no real change was felt, other than piece of mind)
Thanks for the info. Bids on the pcarmarket car are almost at $32k. I realize these are low mileage cars but that's pretty reassuring. Not enough to stop daily driving mine but very nice. I don't think the BAT car will bring that high a price but who knows.
I came here to post the one on BaT but you guys have it covered! I agree, it's nice to see them hanging on to value but it won't stop me from driving mine either. I'm up to 162k on mine now and it's going strong. Need to replace bushings though. Debating on just doing upgraded bushings or just getting some GT3 control arms.
Recently did a NASA Utah round. Advanced from HPDE2 to HPDE3. Car felt great! Pushed her around a lot and was battling the M2 you can see most of the day. I was having some cooling issues though. 95º F at 4500ft on track was pushing it.
In other news, I recently cleared 165k miles on her and she hasn't missed a beat! If any of you are on Instagram I have a profile dedicated to the car and my adventures with it. @millenniumoutlaw
Bye Violet. Thank you for introducing me to the Porsche world. It's one of a helluva ongoing experience!
Congrats to the new owner.. I know you'll give Violet the TLC that she deserves. Enjoy the drive and her company!
