    There is no DIY for this. It is not to common but occasionally a tech will forget to hookup or tighten the ground strap after removing the transmission for an RMS or IMS There is a strap that connects the transmission to the chassis (on the underside of the car). Simply find that strap and check that both ends of the connection are attached and have good clean contact.
  2. Loren
    Yes, same situation - the coils are already installed on the struts.

    It is not the O2 sensors and it is likely not the MAF. If it were the MAF why would your engine be running too lean only on cylinders 4-6? I think you should look for intake leaks, a cracked oil filler hose, oil separator or other intake related problem.
  4. Loren
    If your car is under warranty they should do the firmware updates for free. I would not mention the new DVD at that time.
  5. Loren
    The RMS or IMS leaks from the joint where the engine mets the transmission. The best way to tell where the leak is will be to clean off all the existing oil - put some talc on the bottom of the engine and raise it on a hoist to see where the oil starts from (IMHO of course).

    9 bolts for the GT3 pressure plate -- 6 bolts for the Carrera pressure plate. Folks - remember the GT3 and 996/997 Carrera use both different engines and transmissions.

    Did your dealer do the firmware upgrade so you can use the newer DVD? As I recall there are several upgraded that must be done by the dealer to use the newer DVD software.

    Remove and test fuse C3 (third row down from the top - third fuse from the left). It should be 15A. That fuse is the alarm, power windows, interior lights, sun roof, cab top.

    Model year of you car? Model of your car? US/Canada car or RoW?

    The rear spring part number does not exist in PET anymore - so I can not verify it against the VIN range. Maybe a dealer has a way to look up old numbers but I don't. Sorry. Only the rear bump stops change for M030. US M030 bump stops are: 996.333.105.03

    I am going to close this as those skins went away two software revisions ago...

    Look at the other mark on the springs Front: 1 green line = 6.5 mm thick compensation part. 1 white line = 3.0 mm thick compensation part. Rear: 1 green line = 4.0 mm thick compensation part. 1 white line = 0.5 mm thick compensation part.

    Rear stabilizer is pn 996 333 701 25 -- correct rear springs with pn 996 333 531 13 -- maybe correct - these springs were based on VIN Front shocks - 996 343 041 16 -- correct replaced by 996 343 041 17 Front stabilizer - 996 343 701 04 -- correct replaced by 996 343 701 21 Rear shocks - 996 333 051 13 -- correct replaced by 996 333 051 14 These are all older revs of parts - were they new?

    Scouser has updated the VIN Decoder. The VIN Decoder is here. Many thanks to Scouser for his continued efforts, work, and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:

    This is a new car - everything should be right. The dealers job is to make everything right. The dealer should fix any problem - no matter how small - no matter how long it takes. The dealer gets reimbursed for their time and parts by Porsche for any warranty work. Hard to believe they are balking at this. If this takes a tech longer than 2 hours (a very high estimate) then you need to find a new dealer. If you need good service go to Rector Porsche and ask for Peter Smith (shop foreman and PCA Tech committee member).

    For an RoW M030 on MY01 Cab: Front springs would be marked Green/Red Rear springs would be marked Green/Red
  19. Loren
    Those are not good part numbers. The calipers for the steel brakes are: 996.351.429.10 and 996.351.430.10 are the fronts. And 996.352.425.60 and 996.352.426.60 are the rears. If you are going to put those on a 996 Carrera you will need to change the hub carriers and more.
  20. Loren
    My bad - I gave you the part numbers for the 997 not 987. 987.631.033.01 and 987.631.034.01 are the part numbers for the assembly - lens, bulb and socket. They show a MSRP of about $17 each.
  21. Loren
    For a US M030 on MY01 Cab: Front springs would be marked Grey/Yellow Rear springs would be marked Grey/Red
  22. Loren
    Not that I am aware of.

    I doubt you really lost all the coolant. Depending on his method it may have worked just as well as the vacuum draw method. When I did my 3rd radiator install I caught the coolant in a bucket and then re-used it. I lost a little and had to add a 3 or 4 quarts for the new radiator. So I added in what I could, then opened the bleed valve and ran the engine. After the car got warmed up and shut it off and waited for it to cool. Then I added more coolant (to the full level). I repeated that process a couple more times. Then I drive the car with the bleed valve for about two weeks (don't worry about that Cup Cars do it all the time). I added a little more coolant ever few days until it stopped needing any. Since I have no overheating even at 100 degree plus temps I think there is little or no air in my engine. So I guess the bottom line is that unless you are running hot or have to add coolant you are likely okay. All IMHO of course... :)

    If you have access to a PST2 or PIWIS you can go to the instrument cluster and see: 1. If the sensor is sending a signal. 2. If the sensor has triggered a fault and/or event (i.e. event 2 oil pressure too low, event 9 oil level). That is about all you can see so if those look normal it pretty much has to be the sensor. They are about $50 MSRP as I recall.
  25. Loren
    Have you tried replacing the sensor?
