    Does it always work with the manual switch? If so you can rule out the hydraulics. If you car is under warranty then it should be covered.
  2. Loren
    Are they required for the wheel fitment? Or is it a personal preference? Any negatives to running them? Not required - optional as long as they are TT spec wheels. No negatives that I can think of.
  3. Loren
    The oil pressure sensor should be tested. They have been know to leak and fail.

    Porsche says 17 mm are ok on the rear and 5 mm on the front. They only say no chains with the spacers.
  5. Loren
    Please do a search here - this has been covered many many times...
  6. Loren
    There were a number of software upgrades that are documented in TSBs. If the upgrades have been done then it is likely that your PCM is bad.

    You can replace the airbag if you are very careful - be sure to disconnect the battery and leave the car sit for a while. A compete dash replacement is a very big job too.
  8. Loren
    How thick are the spacers ? Are the lug bolts red?

    On the AC control... Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the temperature up ("+") button to switch between degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit on the Climate Control Temperature and Instrument Panel Outside Temperature displays.

    If the CEL is on solid it is okay to drive. If the CEL is flashing the car should not be run (damage to the catalytic converters will occur). Make sure the dealer sees TSB 6/07 2820 Bar Ignition Modules (Coils) dated Jul 5, 2007. It clearly specifies what is covered under warranty.

    Loren, Thanks for the excellent info. I'm still wondering if this is covered by the 7 year/70,000 mile California extended emissions warranty. Perhaps - you will need to check with your dealer.

    There are US type plate mounts and RoW type plate mounts. If you are in the US - then just get the parts that are missing for US plate mounts. (items, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=85254 Even though this parts list is for a Boxster - your Carrera uses the same parts.

    Sometimes you have to wiggle the headlight a little too. If they don't wiggle then they may not be unlocked. If you get really desperate you can always go in from behind by loosening the wheel well liner.
  15. Loren
    Just clips and they will likely break so order new ones.
  16. Loren
    Those codes have nothing to do with the window problem. P1602 says you disconnected your battery. Code 45 is a an airbag light code. It says your divers side buckle has a poor connection. Either replace the buckles and remake the grounds (per the TSB) or try and get lucky with some spray contact cleaner.

    P0455 Fuel Tank Ventilation System (Major Leak) - Below Limit Possible fault cause - Tank cap missing - Tank cap seal - Ventilation lines detached from EVAP canister - Ventilation line detached from tank - Ventilation line detached from fuel tank vent - Break in ventilation lines

    If I look at the parts listing the first year a "Turbo S" cluster was offered was MY05.
  19. Loren
    Please do a search for +seat +belts -- this has been covered several times.
  20. Loren
    Bits and pieces from a time long ago... I think on my '76 911S the advance was mechanical but the vacuum on the side just plugged the hole. I may have to see if I can find any old pictures...
  21. Loren
    We are really testing my memory here... but as I recall it is not used. As I recall when they went with the CD ignition the CD took care of the advance.
  22. Loren
    I have sent you a PM with a VIN report I had run for you. This should tell you want was ordered (and delivered) on the car.
  23. Loren
    For legal reasons you are not allowed to copy or print the TSBs. They are for online viewing only.
  24. Loren
    Pretty much yes. Please make sure the fan is off when you do this... ;)
  25. Loren
    A couple of Boxster folks (same HVAC unit) have found the noise to be weatherstripping falling down into the air inlet under the pollen filter - then flapping on the fan. I would certainly check there first. Only in a very cases has it been a motor problem.
