    With all due respect to people's "theories" - I would like to see some documentation from Porsche.
  2. Loren
    If it is a model 99 and Porsche ever changed out the engine - then it is a 3.4 liter. Changing to a 3.6 requires several wiring changes and you must also change the DME. I doubt someone went to all that trouble. The accordion outlet pipe style was also used on the factory Porsche Sport Exhaust - so it does not mean you have a 3.6 liter engine. Any 3.4 liter can use 3.6 liter mufflers -- but not the other way around (i.e. a 3.6 can not use 3.4 mufflers). So, if you car has accordion outlet pipes then either it has a PSE or has a 3.6 muffler.

    Hmm... I have seen at least one DME where the connector was not tight and the connector was at best half-on. So, let's hope that was it.

    P0139 Ageing of Oxygen Sensor After TWC, Bank 1 P0140 Oxygen Sensor After TWC, Bank 1 – Open Circuit P0139 Potential causes: Implausible signal from oxygen sensor – Oxygen sensor P0140 Potential causes: Open circuit in signal wire or ground wire of oxygen sensor. Oxygen sensor heating not functioning. – Wiring harness – Oxygen sensor – DME control module Without seeing your O2 sensor voltages (before and after) it would appear that you have a wiring/connector problem at the sensor(s). If the wiring looks and tests ok - then I would replace the O2 sensor before the cat first - clear the codes and see if the after cat O2 sensor r a code again.

    Moved to the DIY section - Great Job!

    986 and 996 only have range 1 and 2.

    Usually that means the connection is open - not connected. Like someone remove the steering wheel and forgot to hook it back up - or broke the clock spring on the steering wheel connection. Best take the steering wheel off and have a look -- with the battery disconnected and the key OUT of the ignition.

    Try 6608 or 6606

    I would ask your alignment shop. I think you likely have -1.5 to almost -2.0 max with stock. See what they think the max on your car as stock is. You likely should by a couple sets.

    Stage 2 over revs mean that the rev limiter could not control the over rev (bad). Usually stage 2 over revs come from missed down shifts or spinning the car (backwards) and not getting the clutch in fast enough.
  11. Loren
    And you have checked the clutch interlock switch?
  12. Loren
    Then I guess it is time to call the dealer...
  13. Loren
    Pretty sure its a hack. Google it. I know I saw it on a DYI page somwhere. Regard, PK It is covered here ad nauseam...
  14. Loren
    It is both standard and an option - let me explain. All Boxster's have the capability once it is "turned on" in the instrument cluster. To change the display you need to either add the OBC stalk (it goes beneath the turn signal stalk) or add a dash switch. Do a search here for OBC hack -- there is lots of info.
  15. Loren
    Sorry, only dealers can look up PCM codes.

    996.341.122.90 Left control arm 996.341.121.90 Right control arm You will need the shims too (1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 7 mm).
  17. Loren
    I get the same code. Where did you get the serial number? off a card or from the radio (as described earlier in this thread?
  18. Loren
    ALL Cayenne radio systems are MOST (fiber optic) so - yes you would have to replace most everything.
  19. Loren
    Orange is 8C6 Green is 2D8
  20. Loren
    Yes, they will work all model year Cayennes - including 2nd gen MY08 and newer.
  21. Loren
    Well, you can certainly cause damage if you jack at the wrong places - or if the jack slips. IMHO you are less likely to cause damage on a GT3 or TT engine than a Boxster/Carrera engine - because the case structures are quite different.
  22. Loren
    Jeez... tell them to buy a hockey puck. I think you are ok if there are no further cracks on chips.
  23. Loren
    It would be very rare to have a leaking RMS on a TT engine. The TT engine is a derivative of the 993/964 engine - not the M96 Boxster/Carrera engine.
  24. Loren
    :welcome: and Thank You.
  25. Loren
    We have added and/or updated TSBs in the following categories today (9 total): Cayenne - 4 Cayenne (Gen 2 as of MY08) - 5
