  1. CV joints are usually heard when shifting from reverse to drive - as a clunk. Which is free play in the CV joint. More likely tires or even a wheel bearing - though wheel bearing are usually felt and hear on the side they occur on. How many miles? When was the last PDK service (and did they use Porsche fluids)?
  2. Try 4205 Thank you again for your donation!
  3. Just to be clear this is CDR-32 to Harman amp?
  4. Your profiles say 2003 Boxster - in that year there were two option amps. Do you need the Harman amp or the BOSE amp?
  5. Intake air side, air routing General information The air cleaners and the intake systems of the 3.6- and 3.8-liter engines have been redesigned for direct fuel injection (DFI) in order to achieve an ideal torque curve. The modified the air box and the air cleaner upper section bearing the new plaque with the "PORSCHE DIRECT FUEL INJECTIION" logo and the suffix "3.6" or "3.8" are the key elements that enhance the engine compartment design. Re-routing of the hoses and lines also contributes to an attractive appearance of the engine compartment. Air cleaners The air cleaners for the new 911 models have been completely revised. Compared to the single-branch air-cleaner system with integral intake snorkel in the predecessor models, the new engines feature a two-branch air-cleaner system with two intake locations and separate intake snorkels located in the rear lid. The air-cleaner system was converted from a plate filter to two round filters. These measures offer the following advantages: Lower inflow resistance values Longer maintenance intervals for the air-cleaner elements The new 2-branch air intake system reduces inflow losses and therefore the engine intake resistance. In turn, this helps to increase the engine power. The 2-branch intake system permitted wider use of the entire filter surface. More uniform soiling of the filter surface means longer maintenance intervals for the filter elements. The picture shows the lower section of air cleaner with the two air filters (L) and the sound openings (S). Sound openings in the lower section of the air cleaner In order to ensure the typical Porsche intake sound in the interior, the new air-cleaner housings also feature sound openings (S) in the lower section of the air cleaner. As in the predecessor models, they consist of large openings with inserted, nearly airtight polyamide material to avoid the intake of warm air from the engine compartment. 3.8 liters of resonance volume in the air cleaner housing Besides the additional designation "3.8", the air cleaner housing of the Carrera S models with 3.8-liter engine is, as with the 3.6-liter model, distinguished from the predecessor models by the actively activatable resonance volume (RV) in the air cleaner housing of the 3.6 l model. Activation takes place under map control and with temperature compensation via a vacuum-controlled flap (UK), which is activated by the electro-pneumatic switching valve on the right side of the air cleaner housing. Activating and/or deactivating the resonance volume improves the intake sound of the 3.8-liter engine, especially in connection with its specific intake system. Intake system As in the predecessor models, the newly developed intake systems of the 3.6- and 3.8-liter engines with resonance distributor and additional sound chambers consist of plastic. Compared to the predecessor models, the following areas of the intake systems have been modified: New design New production method Distributor tube with integral resonance tube Intake distributor with resonance chamber Adapted intake-pipe lengths and diameters The illustrations show the intake system of the 3.6-liter engine and the resonance tube (without tuning flap). The transverse resonance tube, which was a separate component next to the distribution tube in the predecessor models, has been integrated into the distribution tube. This permits a compact, weight-saving assembly. Tuning flap in the 3.8-liter engine The resonance intake system of the 3.8-liter engine is distinguished from the intake system of the 3.6-liter engine by virtue of an additional, actively activatable tuning flap in the resonance distributor between the intake manifolds. This resonance intake system, which can be activated in two stages, influences and makes use of air oscillations in the intake system at different engine speeds, thereby producing high torque values at low engine speeds, a uniform torque curve in the mid rpm range and high maximum power at high speeds by way of the better engine charging values generated in this manner. The tuning flap is actuated by a vacuum-controlled diaphragm cell (MD). It is activated as controlled by the map by an electro-pneumatic switching valve installed on the resonance tube. Under load, the tuning flap is closed between approx. 3,000 and 5,500 rpm and opened at lower and higher engine speeds. Tuning flaps in the intake distributors The intake systems of both engine versions are enhanced by sound volumes in the intake distributors. They attenuate disturbing resonance sounds in the upper rpm range (5,000 – 6,000 rpm) and make an important contribution to the harmonic, powerful sound profile at full throttle. The design principle for the resonance chambers was adopted from the 3.8-liter engine of the predecessor models. The additional chambers are integrated into the lateral intake distributors and are connected to them via a perforated partition with numerous small openings.
  6. As I recall there are two or three places to make changes. Did you change out the instrument cluster? If not, that is likely where that code is coming from.
  7. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... that I am sure you read... "The suggested number did not work - what do I do now? Most often when the code we give you does not work it is because the serial number came from an old card in the car rather than from the procedure stated above - or a typo in the serial number submitted. Double check the serial number you submitted using the procedure above again. If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers also charge. Our program works maybe 99.9% of the time but we have no explanation why it doesn't always work."
  8. No, the new PCM just has to be coded to your car. Usually this is done with a PIWIS. I do not know if Durametric can do this.
  9. Have you looked for a mechanical fault with the shifter? Sometimes thing fall down into the shift mechanism and jam the lever.
  10. My ISP assures me that their no no country restrictions on renntech.org. The only restrictions are know spammers IPs.
  11. You can try re-programming the PCM and fiber gateway. You will need a "real" PIWIS for this.
