    Yes. it could be a bad heater control valve but I think it could also be a bad sensor (thinking it is already hot enough). With these testers you can actually test each (independent) part of the system for proper function. Try your local PCA for a list of local independent shops.

    There are many other tests you can do with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester. For example: actual values readouts to test flap operation sensors, switches, etc., etc. Try to find an independent shop that has one of these testers - it will make short work of diagnosing your problem.
  5. Loren
    Yes, it will just show faults (at this time). It will not show any actuals or run any tests. 180-190 is normal. It is advisable to clean the leaves and other debris from inside the front bumper openings at least once a year. The front bumper comes off pretty easy (see my 3rd radiator DIY in the 996 DIY mods section). With the front bumper off you can really clean both the AC condensers and the engine radiators.

    Are you sure the part number is not 996.332.024.9B? The 9B was used on the MY03 GT3 RS (full race cars). Again, sorry I don't have older cup car info.
  8. Loren
    I don't know when the blue axle shafts started. My model year 2003 GT3 Cup Service book says the blue ones are 996.332.024.92.

    From the Porsche OBD II manual. BTW... not all faults turn on the CEL - temporary faults do not mean that the problem can not be corrected without intervention. Many temporary faults are self corrected.

    No, the Targa came out after the switches changed from glossy to matte finish - so there is no glossy Targa switch.

    I sent you a reply by PM. The cooling system list is 16 pages and you will need to go through it and subsitute the GT2 parts (they are marked) for TT parts. Here is the GT2 bumper parts list: gt2_front_bumper.pdf

    I would try new batteries and the reverse/reboot trick too. I think an alarm controller is expensive.
  15. Loren
    Yes, but it could be intermittent. To my knowledge - yes. We have seen that same error fault on many cars that work fine.
  16. Loren
    You will need to ask the Durametric folks. I have a PST2 and it will reset any code(s) in any model Porsche. Of course it cost more than ten times what the Durametic Software did. ;)
  17. Loren
    This says that the alarm controller is not getting a signal from your key fob transponder. Try another key or you could have a bad key fob (transponder). Fairly common - likely nothing to worry about. The motion sensor detected something moving (once). This is not enough to trigger an alarm.
  18. Loren
    This just means that the battery was disconnected recently. I think it is just there to warn that perhaps someone was trying to defeat the alarm (except in this case it was likely you or someone else trying to clear codes). The ABS light simply means that a problem or fault has been detected in the ABS system. It may or may not be working. Did you use the Durametric Software to check for ABS codes? If the contact cleaner fix does not work then you will need new belt buckles as described in the TSB.

    As it says on the donation page You have now been upgraded - elaspsed time -- 48 minutes. You should have full access now.

    For MY99

    The front sensor (item 18). There should be a small strut (item 20) and everything is held on with screws, bolts and nuts. I would look to see what is missing or broken/bent. The rear is very similar. Sensor (item 21) strut (item 20). etc.
  23. Loren
    In the service manual it looks like there are small hooks that point downward to hold the map pocket in place. It would appear that sliding the pocket upward would disconnect the hooks from the holes in the seat back. Seat map pocket item 6.
  24. Loren
    Yes, the OEM radio ties into the OEM alarm system. An aftermarket system can be tied in or it can be left out of the OEM alarm system. As I said it sounds like you need a quick scan of the alarm controllers fault codes to detect what the problem is. That same test program can verify that your key fob is working or not working. Where are you located? Some independent shops (and a few private owners - like me) have a PST2 (or PIWIS tester).
  25. Loren
    What happened to the factory alarm? Have a shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) read out your alarm fault codes, diagnose and fix the factory alarm.
