    Try 9134 or 9132 I was finally able to drive for an hour so I can type the code suggested but they don't seem to work, any other suggestions? Thanks Did you read this thread? There are others suggestions you can try before calling a dealer or Becker (I believe Becker still charges $30 and some dealers are free and some charge).

    It seems to me that easiest source for the center console would be using the phone prep connector and extend the wires down the console (under the carpet). There is both +12 volts switched and unswitched on the phone prep connector. In the engine compartment? Well, you've got the alternator right there so there is lots of power close - but I would suggest a fuse for whatever you plan on connecting. What are thinking about adding in the engine compartment?

    IMHO of course... If I were to pick the "most reliable" Porsche to own right now it would be a GT3. With a normally aspirated engine that is the same as the 996 turbo it is about as close to being bulletproof as can get. Now a GT3 is a little less "comfortable" to drive than a Cayman, or Carrera, or TT but then that would depend on what you are looking for. Of those three a Cayman would certainly have a lot merits - mid-engine and more HP. I am not sure there is a bad choice there - so any would be okay.

    :lol: :lol: :lol: At this time I only have a 996. It all comes down to what you want to drive a Boxster (987), Carrera and TT are all Porsche's but very different. I suggest you test drive them all...

    :welcome: Please try our search next time - it works very well... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...post&p=9056
  6. Loren
    Yes, but that is what it states on the sale page "DME 5.2.2" is non-egas cars only. Remember MY97-99 Boxsters use the same DME.
  7. Loren
    Where are you located? I think you need someone with a PST2...
  8. Loren
    Yes, rolling diameter.

    Porsche does not recommend 11" wide wheels on the rear of a narrow (if they would fit at all). The tire sizes are okay but I would stick with the 10" rear (on a narrow body car). A 285/30 is fine on a 10" wheel. That is what I am running.
  10. Loren
    That's your oil tank. If you tighten it be sure and support the upper nut (with a wrench) or you might twist it off the tank.

    As long as the tires have same N rating are paired on each axle - you should not have a problem. As a rule of thumb you need to be within 4% front to rear. Normally if the system is out of percentage and it is not happy it will throw fault codes. I doubt you far enough off to throw a code. Porsche says "If new tires are to be mounted or the tires of one axle are to be replaced, tires of the same make, the same type and with the same specification code must always be used on each of the two axles. If tires are replaced on one axle only, the different tread depth from that on the other axle can cause a noticeable change in the familiar handling. This is especially the case if new tires are mounted on the rear axle. This effect decreases with increasing tire mileage. Maximum permissible radial runout and lateral runout of the wheels < 0.7 mm. Maximum permissible radial runout and lateral runout of the wheels with tires < 1.25 mm. Values < 1.50 mm - ideally approx. 0.5 mm - are desirable. When replacing a tire on an axle, make sure that the tread depth of the new tire does not differ from that of the other tire by more than 30 %."

    Model and year of your car please?
  13. Loren
    Actually, with a PST2 or PIWIS you can test each individual alarm sensor in the car.
  14. Loren
    Item 1 in the diagram is the part number Scouser is asking about.
  15. Loren
    Yes, if you read the alarm fault codes with the Durametric Software, a PST2, or PIWIS tester. It will likely tell you where the alarm faults are.
  16. Loren
    Did you try to order the old part number (996.107.243.40)?
  17. Loren
    As of January 2008 the only side vents listed in the parts list are titanium metallic - so I think you would have to paint them. US MSRP $55.79 each
  18. Loren
    Are you sure there was no ice/snow on the sensor? It is out there in the open.
  19. Loren
    Randy - I have merged your two topics - please do not double post.
  20. Loren
    Do you mean the lid for the passenger airbag? (item 44)
  21. Loren
    You need to look and see what is missing. There are plastic nuts and self-tapping screws that screw into expanders. Tell what is missing and I will look them up.
  22. Loren
    PCM 2.0 is not PCM2.1. So, I do not know if they could/would upgrade you to PCM2.1 (since 2005 had it).
  23. Loren
    Have you seen (Cayenne Gen1) TSB 12/05 9153 Satellite Radio Installation Instructions (I No. QV4 QV8) -- dated Jun 13, 2007? As a Contributing Member you can view that here online.

    This RennTech does not have a Mercedes site (even though I own an AMG Mercedes). I have thought of starting one but Mercedes technical info is harder to come by than Porsche - hard to believe but true. Renntech Mercedes had a site - I do not know if it is still up. Their site is about selling their tuner cars and kits.
  25. Loren
    Yes, the new kit works on both 996 and 997 series cars.
