    Are you adding this to a car that does not have Parkassist? The part number will depend on the the type of spare you have. Parkassist was actually for both front and rear. I think you will also need each sender and the wiring harness to support them -- plus the control module. And I think will need the warning buzzer and wiring. I don't know anyone that has retrofit this (if that is what you are trying to do) - but it could be a bigger job than you think.

    US or RoW car? I would pull the headlight out (instructions in your owners manual) and have a look at the connector(s) that stay in the car. See if it is pushed out of it's holding brace or if one or more wire is loose in the connector. For the radio strart with the fuse.

    That would be an ASK amplifier. I sent you a PM...

    I would suggest cleaning it off then finding the point where the oil is coming from. Since oil pan is the one of the lowest points on the car oil will flow there. I've seen one cracked oil pan (and it leaked bad). Tools Pants and I watched a tech replace it. There is no gasket just a special tube of silicone sealant. Again, if it were my car I would confirm the point of origin for the oil before doing anything.

    Almost all codes are O2 related because the O2 sensors report the fault. O2 sensors can report a lean condition or rich condition or many other problems that have nothing to do with bad O2 sensors. If you don't know the codes go to an Autozone (or other parts store) and get your codes read for free. Without the codes everyone is just shooting in the dark.

    Please state the codes (all of them)... Thanks.

    Probably the spring (item 6) or the hinge (item 5). 996.201.413.01 Spring -- MSRP $1.85 (as of June 2006) 996.201.063.00 Hinge -- MSRP $9.71 How to remove fuel filler door

    The sensor could be intermittent (and corrects itself before the threshold is exceeded) or your cel light is burn't out. Does your cel light go on when you turn your ignition to "on"?

    Using Search I found these (and more): http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9218 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9237 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3583

    Yes, there is a reverse connection under the left seat. I think this looks super - form and fit look very very good. It would be great if you could write DIY including parts lists (and where to get them). If you do we'll get it into the DIY section so others can give this try too.

    What about the reverse wire for the GPS?
  12. Loren
    Hmm... did you buy the car new? Perhaps it is already wired for bi-xenon? Look under the front hood and see if option 601 is on the sticker. If 601 is there, then someone removed the bi-xenon headlights and put Halogen in.

    Please only post your question(s) once. Double posting just wastes resources -- and people's time.

    If you keep the filter and intake clean then I don't think they are very important. Mine have both been out since 2000.

    Here are two pics - the first one shows a complete engine and where the sensor is in relation to the flywheel. The second one (courtesy of Jim Pasha) shows how it protrudes into the flywheel housing. The sensor can be changed without removing the engine or transmission. As long as the light is on solid (and not flashing) then the car is safe to drive. If the sensor is intermittent you may not see/feel much change. Otherwise you might see timing problems because the DME does not know (accurately) how fast the crankshaft is turning

    Well, you can hope it is a bad connection and try looking at and cleaning the electrical connection. To precisely determine the crankshaft position, a reference mark signal is required. Engine speed and reference mark are monitored via an inductive sensor. A larger gear notch in the ring gear (on the flywheel) serves as reference mark. The larger notch induces a higher voltage in the sensor. A soft iron core partially bundles the magnetic field produced by the permanent magnet which then enters the space and closes again through the magnetically conductive parts of the engine. A steel toothed ring moving past the face of the sensor affects the magnetic field. The change in the magnetic field induces an electric charge that is used by the DME. A fault code is stored in memory when no crankshaft position sensor signal is recognized within 60 crankshaft revolutions and the engine speed is above 500 rpm. 1 - Permanent magnet 2 - Sensor housing 3 - Engine case 4 - Soft iron core 5 - Inductor coil 6 - Reference mark Could be the sensor connection, bad sensor, magnet has fallen out of the flywheel or even a bad DME (but not likely). Test the sensor as follows: Remove connector. Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 2. Display at 20 °C: 0.8 - 1.0 k ohms Connect ohmmeter to sensor connector, pins 1 and 3. Display: 00 infinite ohms Hope this helps some...

    Have a look at TSB 4/03 2804 Replacement Ignition Switch -- dated 11-24-03.
  20. Loren
    They are wrong - they need to read TSB 1/00 2445 Air Flow Sensor -- dated 4-18-00. "996 606 124 00 Old style HFM (2.7 and 3.2) 986 606 125 00 New style HFM (2.7 and 3.2)" The TSB also included update instructions for the PST2 to reprogram the DME. 125 00 was updated to 125 01 some time later.

    Insert a screwdriver into the hole in the module and press it against the top edge of the pawl. Press the screwdriver to the right arrow A and hold it while pressing up in direction of arrow B. The roll-over protection system is released. To reset just push them back down until they latch.

    Navigation disks are available from NAVTECH. Their customer support number is 1 (888) 628-6277.

    There is no guide or instructions. Porsche makes a custom harness for each car depending on it's ordered options. When a Porsche service tech orders a harness for a car he must specify the options - wait several weeks, then replace the original one step at a time. Needless to say very few Porsche service techs have done this. Tool Pants pics See the post here.
