    The cables are not installed in your car as it requires fiber optic cables that match the options your car has. You will need to buy the correct cables from the dealer. The cable, options and part numbers are all covered in the Installation TSB (available to view for Contributing Members). You will also need to have a dealer, independent shop, or race shop with a PIWIS (not PST2 in this case) "turn on" the CDC-4 function once everything is hooked up.

    Yeah, I haven't gotten to the Cayenne DIY pages yet. Here is a quick summation: The front and rear pads are very similar to the Carrera - remove the pin and pad sensors, pull the pads out. The rotors are similar also. One screw and tap with a hammer. And for the rear you need to back off the parking brake shoes inside the hub. Again, pretty much like the Carrera - just bigger. Be sure that you don't get the rotors mixed up as they are marked L (left) and R (right). If you do this and can take some pics that would be great. I'd rather have pics in the DIY than diagrams. Thanks!

    This is not unusual at all. The way the OBD II computer works it can detect a problem and store it as a "pending fault". It continues to check and monitor conditions and if the conditions that cause the fault are corrected then the CEL is never turned on. Likewise, if a fault has turned on the CEL and that condition has been corrected it will turn the CEL off itself after a certain number of prescribed conditions have been met (drive cycles). For the same reasons if you have an O2 sensor failure, and you then replace the O2 sensor. Then you turn the CEL off with a scan tool and go to get your car smog checked it will fail - because the drive cycle test in the DME has not been met. Sometimes for certain faults this can take a couple of weeks of starting stopping and driving the car without the same fault happening. I think you can thank the EPA for that one - it keeps people from cheating on their smog tests.

    The signal comes in through the phone prep connector and goes to the radio (Yellow/Black) wire. If you look at both the radio wiring diagram and the telephone wiring diagram you will see both ends of the Yellow/Black wire. Here is Gary's iPod install you can see where the connector is in the front console. If you need more pics from his iPod install look here.

    Drive Block? Try locking the car with key. Wait a couple minutes then unlock it with the key.
  6. Loren
    It should come from a 4 pin connector behind the center console for telephone prep. No idea why it is disconnected unless there was a different radio in the car at some time.
  7. Loren
    Should be a yellow wire with a black stripe. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=30114

    I would think the manufacturer of these systems would have recommended locations?

    The harness is a Porsche part. Any dealer that does not have it and won't order it for you - is not doing his job. If you can't get it locally then call the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost.)

    I don't know if the whole console has to come out to get to the rear most screws or not. have a look at the diagram here To remove the shift knob: 1. Selector lever is in position D. Note - The button (inset) at the front must not be pressed down when the selector knob is pulled. 2. Pull selector knob up and off. To install the shift knob: Note - The button must not be pressed down when the selector knob is installed. 1. Selector lever is in position D. Caution - Spring in selector knob is overstretched! - Only move the selector knob as far forward until the tool can be inserted. - Avoid any further overstretching. 2. The unlocking hook in the selector knob must retract to the button (grey object). Lock the hook under the button, using short screwdriver A (for example). 3. Push on the selector knob until it audibly engages in the selector support. The sleeve is then inserted in the selector lever cover. 4. Remove the tool on the handle. 5. Functional test of gear selecting system: - Will the vehicle start? - Do all the selector lever positions work?

    I don't think so. The part numbers are different and the piston sizes are different. They might bolt up though? Try asking one of the 993 guys on Rennlist (where most of them hang out). Ask the other way around though - will 996 calipers fit a 993?

    Here is what the manual says for possible causes. The stop light switch (see Note) seems a likely cause. The manual has details for testing including voltage/resistance measurements - 8 steps in all.
  13. Loren
    I suspect so - since the TSB changed the drop link design.
  14. Loren
    Like this manual seat hardware?
  15. Loren
    There is TSB (July 2005) for some stabilizer connecting link mount problems. If you are in doubt have your dealer look at it.
  16. Loren
    I have a November 2005 parts list. Those numbers are for C4S springs. Is your car a C4S?
  17. Loren
    The OBD II manual says (for Fault P0446) the possible cause are: - Purge air line blocked. - Flow resistance of EVAP canister too high.

    There is a long cooling distribution 'tube' that runs nearly the length of the car (see below). If that tube needs to be replaced then there is a lot of work to do. It could be that the gas tank sits on top of the connection/routing on the right side. I think you are looking at 4-5 hours labor plus the new tube, all new hose clamps, new coolant and bleeding/testing of the system. I guess you could always get a quote from an independent shop...

    But tires at: Tire Rack - Tire Rack - Tire Rack Install at: Custom Alignment - Custom Alignment - Custom Alignment

    Yes, the top of the 3rd radiator tilts towards the back of the car. So when it is mounted the bottom is closest to the front. On a GT2 the hot air goes out the top through a vent in the bumper - on a Carrera/GT3 it goes out the bottom under the car. Kind of hard to see in the pic...
  21. Loren
    :lol: Nope, you need PET to see the parts list.
  22. Loren
    I hope so. That is covered in My Blog
  23. Loren
    Okay folks, sorry... should be working now.
  24. Loren
    In both Europe and the US Porsche has an exchange parts catalog. It is part of the PET parts system and is updated monthly. There are a wide variety of parts for current and older models available on an exchange basis.
  25. Loren
    From the OBD II manual - initially temperature is a factor that turns the pump off - but the pump at run when engine is at operating temperature. Potential fault areas are: fuse relay DME air supply lines or bad pump.
