    The TT engine uses a true dry sump oil system so there is no oil seperator bellows.

    I have a MY99 car and it has worked with every scanner I have tried.

    I think the airbag as the cause is highly unlikely unless the airbag went off. The seat belt contacts are a very common problem and the dealer should have a TSB with instruction on how to fix them. If that TSB has not been done to your car then I really question this dealers ability to work on Porsches.
  4. Loren
    What? Please explain...
  5. Loren
    Are you sure it is the hose and not the tank (above the hose)? Hose leaks are certainly possible but older tanks do crack and leak. If it is the hose you will also want to replace the spring clamp with screw-type hose clamps. If you want part numbers please provide you cars model year and transmission type (Tiptronics have some different hoses).

    They should be stored in memory - regardless of the current light status.

    We have added the DME Fault codes and DME Fault Texts for DME 7.2. DME 7.2 was used on: Boxster (986), S MY01-02 Carrera (996) 4, 4S MY99-01 Carrera (996) MY00-01 You can find this information in OBD II P-Codes

    Door locking on a PST2 was covered here. It is also covered in the workshop manual Group 0: Diagnosis Part 2 - Section 96-D5 page 12 (you won't have that unless your manual has supplement 84 from 2003). The mirror stuff in is the owners manual - although I think you can find more info if you do a search here.
  9. Loren
    Find a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester and have them read out the ABS and PSM codes. Unfortunately, until you do that you are shooting in the dark.

    My MY99 has never had the PSE controls at all. I think it sounds the way a Porsche should sound.

    For a MY97 Boxster Position - Relay Function 1 - MFI (DME) 2 - Ignition/Oxygen Sensor 3 - Spoiler Extend 4 - Air compressor 7 - Start Lock 9 - Spoiler Retract 10 - Secondary Air Pump

    996 106 147 56 Water reservoir - retail $255.79 (as of Sept 2005). I'm sure Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can beat that.
  13. Loren
    Where are you located?
  14. Loren
    There are two banks of relays. One for the engine DME, AC compressor, start lock, secondary air pump, and the spoiler extend and retract in the rear trunk (behind the carpet). The other (for most of the relays) is up under the dash on the left side - above the fuse panel.
  15. Loren
    Yes, this is a common problem (you can find many posts on it here). Porsche is on a fourth generation of that tank. If you post the model year, exact model and whether the car is US/Canada or RoW I will get you the latest part number. There is also a link here to a DIY - likely a 5 or 6 or 1-10 scale.

    Performance Products has them but I think Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) is your best bet.
  18. Loren
    Are you sure your battery is good? How old is the battery?
  19. Loren
    I wouldn't start with the MAF. I would start by checking the seals on the gas cap and oil cap. And, make sure they are properly seated. They I would start looking and listening for air leaks - checking the hoses. Then I might clean the MAF with electronic contact cleaner. I wouldn't mess with a $400 part unless I am sure that is the problem and ready to replace it - IMHO of course.
  20. Loren
    We don't publish manuals here. Why don't you tell us what your problem is and perhaps we can help?
  21. Loren
    19 mm Here is what use to loosen - use a torque wrench to tighten.
  22. Loren
    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold This means that the fuel mixture on the cylinder 1-3 side is too lean - that is, the DME can not increase richness enough to compensate for the lean condition. The most obvious cause of this is an intake leak on that side and or bad readings from the MAF. Beyond the air leak it could be a bad seal on the gas cap or oil cap, a bad MAF, a bad oil separator, etc. You need more info to fully diagnose the fault. You should find a shop with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester so they can confirm whether the MAF is seeing erratic air pressures.
  23. Loren
    IMHO no not much. Is does get louder at RPM increases but at idle and low RPM it is pretty mild.
  24. Loren
    What year and how many miles please?
  25. Loren
    Sure, it will likely be easier to get at with the wheel off. Then just remove the plastic rivets and any screws. I would keep some extra rivets onhand as sometimes they break from age/weather, etc.
