  1. Please do a search here... both items have been covered numerous times before. You can try the reset (by reversing the battery momentarily) and/or you could have badly worn buttons, and/or your alarm module may have gotten wet.
  2. Could be - I know they have some problems with that. Try going into your "My Settings" and complete the profile information.
  3. On a normally aspirated engine there is no need for special software. If you disconnect the battery for 5 minutes you will force the DME into a "re-learn" mode. It will then re-learn both the car's settings and your driving style. Special tunes can do huge horsepower increases on turbo charged cars but do very little for the money (IMHO) on normally aspirated cars.
  4. It is not the clutch design that makes it to 100K miles plus ... it is the driver and how they use it. If you are doing drag racing starts or downshifting at too high a speed you will increase clutch wear. When I took the engine out of my 1976 911S with over 135,000 miles on it the clutch still looked very good and was just under 50% worn and I did hundreds of autocross and track events in that car. That was the factory clutch - so as I said it is not the clutch material or design it is how then clutch is used.
  5. Have you checked the upper strut mount?
  6. Do you see the quantity number on your parts list? That number is total number of that part used on your vehicle.
  7. Guys - please check the date on the post before you reply. The original poster has not been back in 2 years...
  8. Exact model and year of your car please?
  9. Do a search in the 996 section as 997-1 uses the same problematic oil sender. A 5 minute job with the right tool - or a more difficult job without the right tool.
  10. Oil level sensor or the problematic oil pressure sensor?
  11. Well... if you have third party things on the car they may or may not be wired through the cars fused power system. In that case you need to do the same - disconnect them one at a time and see what the amp meter says. In my experience 9 times out 10 it is a third party installation. Having seen a friends 911 burn because of radio install was the worst I have seen. So what ever the cause you need find it and fix it or remove the third party device (IMHO of course).
  12. Loren -Could you pleasetell me if I am I giving all the required infomation here to obtain a code? I got the model and serial by pressing the TP button etc I just noticed you replied to others and not mine so wondered if Im doing something incorrect? Thanks so much for your help! Sorry, I just plain missed your posting. Try 0272
  13. Did you try a search (before you posted this 3 times)? I think not. 40-60 ma is normal - anything else means you have a drain. Put an amp meter in series with the battery and slowly pull fuses until you find the circuit with the large drain. Report back here which fuse.
