krazyk -- I bought the same set at Harbor Freight for on sale for 4.99. I don't buy much at HF but at $4.99 these things are throwaways if damaged.

I would go with the independent - sounds more spot on for what I would do. Weak spring or bent valve sounds logical. If the cylinder head needs to be removed (valve or valve spring) then (according to the Porsche service manual) the engine needs to come out. Porsche Book time 9.9 hours for engine and head removal. .

I buy it in the 4 pack at Costco...

Let's just to number 3 first... you need to ask them the same question "wet" with fuel or wet with oil. If it is fuel it could be as simple as a stuck injector - wet with oil could be a number of things most of which are more serious.

Looks like number 4 is too rich or oily. Give it a sniff and see if it smells like gas.

P0441 Fuel tank ventilation system above limit value/below limit value Possible cause of fault - Tank vent faulty (remains stuck in an open or closed position) - Tank vent installed the wrong way round - Leak in scavenging lines between tank vent and positive crankcase ventilation (in the Turbo via a T-piece also on the intake side of the turbocharger) - Scavenging lines between tank vent and positive crankcase ventilation trapped or blocked (in the Turbo via a T-piece also on the intake side of the turbocharger P0234 Boost Pressure Control Limit Exceeded - Above Limit Possible fault cause - Leak ahead of throttle (less than 4 mm) - Boost pressure control solenoid mechanically faulty - Bypass valve (waste gate) faulty P1914 Brake Booster Pressure Sensor – Signal Implausible/ No Signal Possible cause of fault - Open circuit in sensor wire - Connector removed from brake booster pressure sensor - Disconnection point KE2, pin 5 disconnected - Brake booster pressure sensor faulty - DME control module faulty P2189 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 (RKAT2) - Above Limit Possible fault cause - Incorrect main charge signal - Intake air system leaking - Fuel pressure too low - Volume supply of fuel pump too low - Mechanical fault in injection valves - PCV valve leaking - Cap of oil filler neck leaking - Leaks in exhaust system - EVAP canister purge valve mechanically faulty (hangs open) - EVAP canister purge valve output stage faults P2187 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 (RKAT1) - Above Limit Possible fault cause - Incorrect main charge signal - Intake air system leaking - Fuel pressure too low - Volume supply of fuel pump too low - Mechanical fault in injection valves - PCV valve leaking - Cap of oil filler neck leaking - Leaks in exhaust system - EVAP canister purge valve mechanically faulty (hangs open) - EVAP canister purge valve output stage faults P1276 Hydraulic Pump (PSM) Possible fault cause - Plug connection to PSM control module is coroded or damaged - Hydraulic pump faulty

P0021 Inlet Camshaft Adjustment, Bank 2 Possible causes: - Solenoid hydraulic valve faulty (dirty, stuck, etc.) - Oil pressure too low - Intake camshaft adjuster faulty - Camshaft stuck (incorrect or faulty installation)

:welcome: Have you had the car checked for alarm system fault code(s)? You will need Durametric, a Porsche PST2, or Porsche PIWIS tester to scan alarm codes. Many times fault codes will point you to the exact area of the problem.

Porsche DSP option for the radio/CD player. DSP = Digital Signal Processor

Sorry, you don't seem to believe me... Here it is in the 997-1 service manual. (click to enlarge)

:welcome: If you are serious about one or both cars a PPI is in order. It is the only way to know.

Loren -this DIY was very helpful on my 996. Do you know if the torque specs changed for the 997? I noticed the 997 cat sleeve has a redesigned bolt/nut combo (nuts are now 13mm)? Any assistance would be appreciated! thanks The only change for 997-1 is the tailpipe goes to 17 ftlb.

Mobil Delvac 75W-90 gear lube "The replacement for the Mobilube 75W-90 SHC gear lube. Delvac has been market name used in USA towards the semi/fleet maintenance market segment. Original fill in 996/997 GT3 and Cup cars. Works well in all 901, 915, G50, G96 gearboxes. Used extensively in Porsche Motorsport products in every grueling test there can be LeMans, Sebring, Daytona, etc. Works in cars with or without (LSD) limited slip differentials."

"302000>" serial number would indicate a 901/01 coupe series car likely built in 1965.. The old engine codes jump around a lot -- so your engine case would appear to be a "631" engine from 1971 911S. Also you could easily build a 911 normal or T into an S engine with just a few changes - so further investigation would be needed to see what the engine size and HP really is. Your original engine would have been a serial number "900001>"

If you look at the Porsche (PET) parts/price list there are only 2 batteries for the 996 series - one is 70 AH and the other is 80 AH. Both are size 48. Either will fit both the early 996 as well as the 2002 and later cars. If you park your car outside in the cold often I would suggest an 80 AH (or better) battery otherwise you might as well stick with the 70 AH battery.

Sorry, that radio was made by Alpine and I do not have codes for Alpine.

Does this radio require a 4 digit code or 5 digit? I'm not sure, is there any way to tell? This radio is not on our list because I am not familiar with it. Can you post a photo of the front control panel and the serial number sticker?

Does this radio require a 4 digit code or 5 digit?

According to that serial number he is correct (M97/21-66) - 2006 Cayman S - 3.4 liter engine. If your car is indeed a 2005 Carrera (non-S) then it should have M96/05-69 -- 3.6 liter engine. My only guess would be that this one of the 2005 cars that had a bad IMS bearing -- that destroyed the original engine. Depending on what year that happened perhaps the dealer/OPC made a "deal" for the owner to put in a used (smaller) engine.

No that is only for the stock shifter. Any Porsche parts guy worth their weight should be able to find the same tool for the factory short shifter.
