    I think the first thing to do would be to have the car scanned with a PIWIS or PIWIS 2 tester. It would seem there may be fault code(s) or other issues that the diagnostic routines can pick up. Even something as simple as low fluid.
  2. Loren
    The procedure (in the Porsche service manual) for a 997-1 is the same as the 996 procedure I referenced above.

    :welcome: Before cutting anything (that is the very last resort). Take the screws off the lower bumper cover mount and see if you can reach up in front of the latch and find the cable. There are plenty of descriptions here on removing the front bumper cover (though there are several screws under the front lid). But you should be able to loosen it enough to get your hand in there. ( http://www.renntech.org/forums/videos/view-5-porsche-996-986-front-bumper-removal/) Worst case damage the bumper cover not the trunk lid - it will much less costly to replace and in some cases you can get enough access to trigger the latch behind it. Use lots of patience - it's like picking a lock blindfolded. Good Luck!

    I don't fine 3505 but 1341 is a CAN error at the instrument cluster.

    Please read the Lost Radio Code FAQ "Can you give me a code for my PCM? These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."

    If you have already checked the fuses then I think you are going to need a shop with a PIWIS.

    Repairs in the high-pressure area resulting in air getting into the high-pressure system - you will need to perform the following. Filling and bleeding the fuel distribution pipe 1. Start the engine and let it run at idle speed for about 5 minutes. This can result in a rough-running engine and the Check Engine warning light in the instrument cluster can be activated. - If this happens, continue with Step 2. - If this does not happen, continue with Step 7. 2. Turn off the engine after letting it run for 5 minutes and switch off the ignition. 3. Switch on ignition. 4. Read out and erase the fault memory of the DME control unit using the PIWIS Tester. 5. Switch off ignition. 6. Switch the ignition on and start the engine. If the engine is still rough-running, let the engine run again for around 5 minutes at idle speed. Then repeat Steps 2 to 6 as often as required until you get to Step 7. 7. The bleeding process is complete when the engine runs smoothly, the Check Engine warning light is no longer activated and no new faults are entered in the fault memory. 8. Perform a test drive.

    The fuel low pressure is regulated by the control unit based on a map. The pressure is monitored by a fuel low-pressure sensor mounted on the distribution pipe to the two high-pressure pumps. The fuel high-pressure is generated by two demand-controlled fuel pumps driven by the intake camshaft. The quantity control valves of the fuel high-pressure pumps regulate the fuel pressure based on demand in accordance with a map in order to achieve optimum combustion and low fuel consumption combined with high power and high torque. A routine in the PIWIS tester allows testing of the fuel high-pressure pumps by pump selective activation and measurement of the generated fuel high pressure at the fuel high-pressure sensor. In the event of a fault, the faulty fuel high-pressure pump can be detected with the high-pressure sensor on the rail. It sounds like you still have a fuel circuit problem. Sorry, but you are likely to have to put a PIWIS or PIWIS 2 tester to see all the errors and to do further diagnosis.

    There is a TSB on this problem. What are the fault code(s)? P0190 and/or P1030? In most cases, the high-pressure sensor is defective and is the cause of these complaints.
  18. Loren
    Two posts above yours.
  19. Loren
    I am puzzled why you started a second thread on the same problem here Please keep this discussion in one thread as it is far less confusing for those trying to help.
  20. Loren
    Try 5106

    :welcome: Fault code P0721 - Output shaft speed inductive pickup [Output Speed Sensor Circuit Range/Performance] Possible causes of fault - 'Implausible signal', mechanical damage in sensor wheel or inductive pickup - 'Implausible signal', inductive pickup faulty - 'Implausible signal', Tiptronic control module faulty (click to enlarge)

    Yes, the latest tank for your car is 955 106 147 23 and it has a US MSRP $107.55. So they are trying to charge you OVER Porsche list price. I would find another dealer.
  24. Loren
    The sealant comes in a tube -- 000 043 300 39 -- US MSRP $28.96 According to Porsche's "book time" removing and replacing the oil pan (including gasket sealing) is 770 TU. 770 TU = about 7.70 hours. So it is a big job.
  25. Loren
    Well the dealer may not have the old ones but here you go... 999 702 281 40
