    Try 8922 or 8920
  2. Loren
    Yes, after the first oil change the interval drops from 40,000 miles to 36,000 miles.
  3. Loren
    The Litronics will not autolevel unless they were factory installed. The aftermarket kit Porsche sells says so in the instructions. Only factory installed Litronic have the leveling sensors on the axles.
  4. Loren
    It would depend on where the wiring problem is. Have you narrowed it down? Have you tried a new MAF to be sure it is the wiring?
  5. Loren
    Did you read the TSB for how to check the DMF? TSB 8/02 1360 Dual Mass Flywheel Check Procedure -- dated 12-13-02
  6. Loren
    Item 2 on each list. For MY05-07 Oil/Filter change is "After 20,000,60,000, 100,000, 140,000 miles (30,000,90,000, 150,000, 210,000 km) etc." For MY08 Oil/Filter change is "After 24,000, 60,000, 96,000, 132,000 miles etc. / 40,000, 100,000, 160,000, 220,000 km etc."

    We have added downloadable PDFs for new Porsche Maintenance Checklists. They cover Major, Minor, Additional, and Annual service for US/Canada cars. They are available for: MY05 - MY07 Boxster/Cayman (987/987c) MY08 Boxster/Cayman (987/987c) MY05 - MY07 Carrera (997) MY08 Carrera (997) MY07 TT (997) MY08 TT (997) These new downloadable versions can be printed. You will find them in the Maintenance Checklist section We also added checklists for the 993 series and 993TT.

    Perhaps someone put springs on the car previously? Either way if you change to RoW M030 it will come to the ride height as specified. No fender rolling is required as long as you use factory wheel widths and tire sizes.
  9. Loren
    That should not hurt the motor. Be sure and take it out of the circuit. Pin 1 is ground. Pin 3 is low speed (when the ballast is present). Pin 2 is high speed.
  10. Loren
    For the MAF sensor.
  11. Loren
    You know, I thought about that ... but then when starting the car, it would light up all the lights except the one without a bulb. Plus I don't know if the car computer would get upset over a missing bulb and log a whole bunch of errors against that ... Ok, so I just got a call from the dealer. He said that they need to replace the 1) seat belt clips (the part fixed onto the seat, neat hips) 2) and the wiring harness under the seat For both drivers and passengers side to fix it. Parts + labor = $870. Does that seem ok or a bit high ?? Also, is it necessary to replace both sides or just one side, the faulty side, would be ok? I didn't confirm yet, but I think its unlikely that both sides would go out at the same time, eh? Edit: Sorry, but last question: Assuming I buy the durametric tool, does anyone know how easy/tough this repair would be a DIY? As always, thanks! Sid For a difficulty level read the TSB. If you have a Durametric tool it will tell you exactly which belt buckle needs replacing. You could wait on the other and replace only the one that gives a fault.
  12. Loren
    Use the wire colors from the MY02 diagram below
  13. Loren
    Thanks Loren. Does anyone know where I can purchase the system? Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) (link at the top of any page)
  14. Loren
    As a Contributing Member you can read Porsche's TSB on the install. Look for TSB 4/04 9110 Porsche Communication Management 2 (PCM2) Installation Instructions -- dated Mar 26, 2004
  15. Loren
    Yes, it is the same harness for a MY02 (and newer) coupe - so the jumpering the pins should be the same too.
  16. Loren
    Yes, you will need a 4" wobble extension for the spark plugs and a stubby ratchet helps too. The spark plug socket is standard. Most of the torqued things you would change are under 100 ft-lb.
  17. Loren
    Try 5048 or 5046 Loren - these don't seem to work. I checked the serial # again and it is correct. Is there another code(s) I should try? Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  18. Loren
    Any MOST information is the Porsche manuals and schematics.
  19. Loren
    Good advice! Judging from your responce, these failures aren't that common, right? Is there a documentation on how to remove the IP? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=9563 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=2434
  20. Loren
    Stock screws are M6 x 12 mm - so you will want much longer ones.
  21. Loren
    If you don't feel comfortable removing the cluster and checking the connections then find a good Porsche indie shop. I'd hate to see some dealer replace a $2000 plus cluster for a loose connection.
  22. Loren
    If you have swapped the relays and you are sure the fuse is good (measured conductivity with a meter?). Then it is either the ballast resister or the motor. I guess you could bypass the resister to test the the motor.
  23. Loren
    If you had more electrical anomalies I would suspect the ignition switch. But I would also remove the cluster and make sure all the connectors are plugged in tight. Where are you located?
  24. Loren
    :welcome: Unplug your MAF - it does almost nothing at idle and really only comes into play at higher RPMs. Then tell us how it runs.
  25. Loren
    Hmm... I would say: - a good set of metric sockets, and combination wrenches - a set of common torx drivers and metric allen wrenches - a low cost torque wrench that is used just for wheels - a mid to upper range torque wrench for engine and suspension use - a good low profile jack - a minimum of two jack stands That should be a good start (IMHO).
