    Sorry, I posted the wrong part numbers - I have edited that post above. The last part number you posted (997.333.053.24) is for a 997TT.
  2. Loren
    One more item I would like to mention... I think that if for some reason the cam sensor is not working and there IS a cam or cam chain problem it could be very serious (i.e. like putting a valve through a piston). On earlier Porsche's if you had a timing chain problem (or chain rail) the result was usually a bad collision of the piston and valves. I think that is why any cam sensor failure is flagged by the DME as a fault. So, I guess I am saying you want a cam sensor and you want it working to detect any problems and warn you prior to any serious damage.

    Uh... LVDell is writing this up (not me). Try PMing him ;)

    Probably a P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor 1 - Signal Implausible, Short to Ground, Short to B+ and/or P1397 Camshaft Position Sensor 2 - Signal Implausible, Short to Ground, Short to B+ and a CEL.

    Again, if your problems are only lights related that would point to the light switch. If you have other electrical problems then that would point to ignition switch. What you are saying here is lights only so I would go for the light switch.
  6. Loren
    Yes, they could be. I would reset them and drive the car for a few days and see if they come back.

    Stage 2 overrevs are potentially engine damaging. Stage 1 overrevs are ones that the DME caught and didn't allow the engine to continue. Stage 2 overrevs are uncontrolled and are usually caused by missed down shifts where the engine is forced to run faster than it can or spinning the car and not putting the clutch in where the engine can actually run backwards. I personally would stay away from a car with stage 2 overrevs - unless they want to offer you a 3 year unconditional engine warranty ;)

    I usually stat with both bars in their last (or next last link). Then I drive the car. I add stiffness at the end that needs it most - to fit my driving style.
  9. Loren
    Has anybody looked at the fuel trim readings with a PST2 (or high end OBD II scan tool)? -- and mass air flow? I wonder if your MAF is giving errant readings thus telling the DME to lean the mixture?
  10. Loren
    Sorry to hear that. I wonder what happened to the cam chain. Seems ususal on these cars (but fairly common on older (air-cooled) cars).
  11. Loren
    Could be a loose sway bar or a strut going bad.
  12. Loren
    There are two or three variants of boosters used on these cars are they are all a little different. Did they replace the booster? and/or did they reset the pushrod dimension? "Note: Basic setting of the push rod-dimension X is 138 mm (set in new brake boosters)! If necessary, correct during the relevant work!"
  13. Loren
    A couple of our moderators live in that area. You might PM clord and/or grant and see if they are willing to take a look at it for you.
  14. Loren
    Where are you located?
  15. Loren
    The whole panel (like in step 17) just pulls straight out. If you can get your fingernails under it - it will pop out. Or, use a dull bladed knife and a towel to protect the dash.
  16. Loren
    The brake pedal height can be adjusted very little. It is mainly intended to adjust the brake pedal height for proper "heel and toeing". Sorry, but if the pedal is low I would still suspect air in the lines. Did they bleed the ABS system too?
  17. Loren
    If the problem only occurs when you switch on the headlights then it is most likely the headlight switch. If it occurs, at any time it is most likely the ignition switch.
  18. Loren
    Talk to the folks at Sharkwerks or TRG. They both sell the drop links and swaybars. If you are in Europe email Gert@Carnewal.com.
  19. Loren
    The accumulator is part of the hydraulic clutch. Power steering and the hydraulic clutch use the same fluid (on TT) but I'm pretty sure they are not connected. Which fluid is low the clutch reservoir in the front trunk or the power steering reservoir in the engine compartment?
  20. Loren

    CAN bus

    Loren replied to pgwilliams's topic in 996 GT3

    Yes, a lot more. An OBD II reader only reads/resets DME fault codes. The Durametric software can read and reset many other controllers in the car (i.e. ABS, airbag, heating/AC, alarm (read only, etc.).Durametric has a table of what it will do on a 993 here.
  21. Loren
    Yes, do a search here for those two codes and you will find lots of suggestions...
  22. Loren
    1. Yes, they are separate circuits. 2. Hard to say - are you sure which line it is? 3. Sorry, no - this is not even covered in the service manual (that I can find).
  23. Loren
    Front struts: 997.343.041.10 or 997.343.041.12 Rear struts: 997.333.051.19
  24. Loren
    Model body type? (C2, C2S, C4, C4S) Model year? US or ROW sport suspension?
  25. Loren
    Changing oil on a 997 is no different than changing oil on a 996. The complete DIY is here.
