1/ What petrol do you guys put in it? 95ron or super unleaded? My car is a varioram c2s.
2/ Does the aircon make a funny noise when yuo switch it on? Something like a slight whistle?
3/ Who has ever fitted a cat bypass?
1. Super unleaded; is'nt that what Porsche recommend ? and I only do low miles, so not worth penny pinching.2/ Does the aircon make a funny noise when yuo switch it on? Something like a slight whistle?
3/ Who has ever fitted a cat bypass?
2. No aircon.
3. My 993 already had 100cell cats fitted when I bought it, and must say I really like them; they have a nice burble & I feel that the car revs more easily. I asked the previous owner what brand they were and he thought they were Dansk.
Edited to say: No problem with emissions either come MOT time.

I only use Shell V-Power; luckily I do have good supply in my area and Shell happens to be the closest to where I live. Even though the car's knock sensor will compensate for a lower octane fuel, why feed it the lesser stuff for the sake of a couple of pounds per tank?
Air con noise may be a sticking or slow vent flap causing the air flow to be restricted.

1 - V-Power only. Why put fuel in that reduces engine efficiency and power? You get some of the extra cost back in MPG anyway.
2 - No air con! Saves weight in the right place.
3 - No but I have heard one and it is fantastic! Have a listen on Youtube. Illegal though and an MOT fail. Some have managed to get through them though!

1. Always super and normally V-Power.2/ Does the aircon make a funny noise when yuo switch it on? Something like a slight whistle?

2. If the noise is from the engine bay then it may be the compressor spinning
3. No
cool, thanks everyone. The engine feels very understressed so I was wondering petrol-wise.
The fan thing, I may give it a go at some point. I had my aircon fixed, but it is still not blowing ice cold and the spinning noise is not annoying, but a bit wierd.
I am planning to have go at the bypass thing. 100 cell from dansk is on the expensive side.

Are you talking about the noise coming from inside the car ie: aircon unit or at the rear in the engine bay?Lots of helpful stuff here... http://p-car.com/diy/diy.html

Just doing it !Halfway through ...
Look at my site for a guide in the next few days. Just have one pesky bolt that wont come out the old cat at the moment.
I have RSRs as well so im expecting the end result to be tad loud.
Come on Jackal... You need to clean that bit with the blue sticker on mate!

thanks, thats kind of you .. on this one though im kind of just copying everyone else who has already sorted theirs !
The guide is coming on great as usual on your website! I am thinking of doing mine over winter as a project. My car started life in Scotland so I am fearing the worst!!!What 'special' tools would you recommend and what are the tricky bits? Anything else worth doing whilst your in there?
