    All cars with factory LSD would have either option M220 or option IX75 (MY04 and newer).

    MY05 997 PCM2.1 replaced by 997.642.131.06 See page 2 of TSB 7/04 9110 PCM2.1 & BOSE Amplifier Spare Parts Requirements -- dated 7-05-2005 Note the page 3 instructions for mating the PCM2.1 part number with the correct BOSE amp part number.

    So the needle does not move and there is no digital display for speed? Do the other instrument cluster/gauge functions work?
  5. Loren
    The digital portion or analog (needle) portion? or both? Any mods that use the speedo signal like PSE or PCM? or ?

    Are you a Porsche Professional? Do you own or work at a Porsche independent repair or tuning shop? Do you work for a Porsche dealership as a tech, parts tech or other position? Do you own or work on a Porsche racing team? Do you make money performing any other kind of work on Porsches? If so, we are looking at creating a special (private) online place for Porsche Professionals. If there is enough interest we will create a special forum/site for Porsche Professionals where they can discuss difficult repairs, shop tools, diagnostics and diagnostic tools, parts procurement, technical tips and tricks, and anything else you think that could help you in your business. Your identity can be public or anonymous if you prefer. We will likely charge a small monthly fee (payable monthly or yearly) to cover the additional operating costs. That fee will also give you access to all Contributing Members areas here on RennTech.org. If you are interested in joining a team of RennTech Professionals please use this link to PM me with your interest, thoughts, concerns, and ideas. This post is Closed to replies as we want only interested parties to reply - privately.

    Since he said he had an "OPC" I think he will need to call Porsche Cars Great Britain ;) Sorry, shows what I know, can't spell either. Please don't be offended I think you made a good point. I wish folks would fill in their location in their profile...

    Check around the pollen filter in the front trunk. Some of the foam from a disintegrating pollen filter could cause that.

    It is the same light fixture as the front trunk so if there is a switch in front there is one in the rear. Could be a bad or missing bulb too - see your owners manual. As I recall the triggering microswitch is on the latch mechanism.
  11. Loren
    The rear deck lid lifts just as before - the rear spoiler does not move.

    I recently traded my 03-S Boxster which had Xenons for an 02-911 with no xenon, part of the deal was to upgrade the 911 to litronics for 1K The only difference is the upgrade kit is NOT self leveling like the factory installed xenons on the box. Here is a link to what you need: http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant...ategory_Code=WS Or www.suncoastporsche.com Those will not fit a MY03 Carrera. The MY02 and newer Carrera use Bi-Xenon lights and they are shaped slightly differently. Litronics are for MY99 to MY01 Carrera's.

    Try the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - I got mine from them but I don't know if Porsche still has these since the stopped producing manuals in paper form.

    Not likely (IMHO) as the airbag is a separate "safety" circuit. If you had the control module problem you would most likely see all sorts of weird electrical problems - not just this one.

    997 TURBO PICS

    Loren replied to a topic in 997 TT, 997 GT2

    For Don (and all)...

    We have all the MY2004 order guides here.

    8034 as described in the TSB is the passenger side thorax airbag. You car is new enough it should have the new connector for the airbag controller. But if it is still getting the 8034 with a "Below limit value" error then it could still be a bad connector or connectors. I guess it could be a bad airbag controller too. There is not much else to go wrong. IMHO not worth replacing the car for. This can and should be fixed. Perhaps they should loan you a car while the other dealership gives it a try?

    From the TSB: Figure 13

    Item 4 or 5?

    How large is the image? RennTech.org still has to make a thumbnail and if the (original) image is over 180K then it will fail. I've set this artificial limit just to try and keep costs down. If your images are not too much larger (say 250K or even 300K) then I'll increase the size but if they are 2MB each - no can do.
  22. Loren
    The switch (electrical wears out) then you get all sorts of electrical anomalies including not starting.
  23. Loren
    I guess step one is the decision to Upload a New Product? This was the best review software I could find (at the time) that had some sort of integration with the forum (so you don't have to login twice). I don't have time to write something myself but I do keep an eye out for something better.
  24. Loren
    Well, you need to have someone else listen with the front trunk open to see if the noise is from the front shock tower bushing(s) or... the steering wheel hub making the noise. Two very different problems.

    How old/how many miles on the belt? They are fairly inexpensive and take about 5 minutes to replace. If the smoke is black then that is un-burnt petrol. On egas cars like yours the idle is set by the throttle butterfly opening just a slight amount (older cars used a idle valve that let in a certain amount of air). When the throttle body and butterfly get carbon buildup the distance changes and the idle/startup becomes rough. Look through the forum here for tips on cleaning the throttle body - it has been discussed many times.
