    I think I posted the GT3 Mk1 Club Sport settings in the GT3 section quite a while ago. You might want to do a search there.

    If P1128 (or P1130) (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation - Check exhaust system for leaks. - Check intake air system leaks.

    Porsche publishes a new "Approved Oil" bulletin every year. Contributing Members here can view the current bulletin online here. Joel and Bruce are tremendous resources to the Porsche community but sometimes their information is not current. Mobil 1 5W-50 has been off the "Approved Oils" list for over two years.

    This is for MY05 only (at this point):

    Probably no dealer visit required. The remote alarm system shuts down after a few days. Try to using the key (the old fashioned way) to lock - then unlock the doors. If that does not restore the remote then something else is wrong.

    I sent you a PM...

    I doubt it. Like I said it is a poor connection problem - so the cold weather might be more of a factor. You can try resetting it (with a PST2 or PIWIS tester) but I think it will keep coming back on until it is fixed. JMHO.

    Harmon or BOSE sound package?

    You did not say what year your car is? This is pretty common on MY99 and older (Carrera and Boxster). it did happen on some MY00 cars too. There is a TSB for the seat belt buckle problem (it is available here for viewing by Contributing Members). The problem is that the original seat belt buckles and electrical connectors can corrode over time and cause intermittent signals - this turns on the airbag light. Only a PST2 or PIWIS tester can turn the light off (once the problem is fixed). The buckles and connector pins need to changed to the newer gold plated ones. The TSB is 12 pages of retrofit instructions and the work requires soldering. The TSB time estimate is 2.8 hours. Unless you are familiar with electrical work you might want to leave this to a shop. I think you can get a better quote than $800 - in some cases Porsche AG has split the cost with customers. If you go to an independent shop jut make sure they have a PST2 or PIWIS tester to turn the airbag light off once the problem is fixed.

    996.645.140.02 replaces 996.645.140.01. The parts list says it is okay to use 996.645.140.01 until the stock is gone. But you may want the Tequipment kit 000.044.900.72 which includes cables and mounting hardware (except the fiber optic cable). The fiber optic cable you need will depend on the options already on the car (and whether the car is LHD or RHD). Do you have the BOSE (option 680) or Harman (option 490) sound system? Do you have the telephone option? The full CDC4 installation instructions are here for viewing by Contributing Members. (ps. I deleted your second post as your question is answered here. Please do not double post. Thanks!)

    I would certainly go back and ask them to check the tightness and alignment of the work they did. New suspension components are know to loose and should be re-torqued after the first couple of thousand miles. But this sounds much worse than that so it could be a mis-alignment or one side might have come loose.
  15. Loren
    Which part(s)?
  16. Loren
    Yes. Depending on the age of PSE system it could be part number 996.618.980.01, 996.618.980.02 or 996.618.980.03.
  17. Loren
    For MY99 Carrrera: 996 652 101 00 Lighter -- Retail $9.87 (US retail as of Dec 2005)
  18. Loren
    Gary, Yes, there is no retrofit kit and the wiring must be added - so most shops won't even try. PCM2 (on MY02 and newer MOST system cars) is pretty straightforward and CoryNJ already wrote a DIY here on that. Sure, if you have found an easier way to add PCM1 then please feel free to add it to the DIY Articles section here.
  19. Loren
    Ah... sorry I missed it on my MY02 schematic. That orange/blue wire gets connected to all the other orange/blue wires on the OBD II connector pin A3 (also know as K lead). That wire is needed for PST2 diagnosis so the PST2 knows the PCM1 controller is there and can be coded.
  20. Loren
    The reverse signal should be under the left hand seat (on LHD cars not sure about RHD cars). Should be Black/Blue connections already there - just add you PCM1 reverse wire to them (solder or crimp). What is the pin number on the PCM1 for Diagnosis? My schematic does not have anything labeled "Diagnosis".
  21. Loren
    Try http://www.paintscratch.com. They are pretty close.
