  1. Try 8521 or 8519 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  2. I don't believe so - not in MY2004. In MY2004 X51 and PSE were separate options. How about in 2003? Could you order PSE without X51? :welcome: Yes, PSE has been a separate option since the beginning - I have it on my MY99.
  3. Private seller, me and my brother bought this wheels 1 for him and 1 for me, but we decided to go on a differnt style, but it was to late we already purchase the wheels. So we decided just to resale it. Ok. By the way I removed the ALL CAPS TYPING - that is SHOUTING on the Internet.
  4. Well, you can hope but it sounds like a bad connection or cracked coil pack to me. I know TT's are a pain to get to the spark plugs but you don't really want misfires either. I cross my fingers that it was a fluke...
  5. I just did this on my car - it literally took less than 5 minutes. Couple things I would add - you likely won't need to a screwdriver to unclip the connector. I just pushed it back with my thumb and wiggled it out. Also, I don't think which way the switch tab points when installed is relevant. My original switch faced the passenger side of the car and the new switch faced the rear. It is very simple switch so I don't think that makes any difference. Thanks again to drphil66 for the great pics and writeup. :thumbup:
  6. Exact mode and year please? What are you trying to find out? Those are not Porsche part numbers - assembly numbers (or vendor) numbers perhaps.
  7. You are having misfires in cylinder 3 and cylinder 6. Check the electrical connectors, coil packs, and spark plugs in that order. Because it happened in the rain - my guess would be bad connections or cracked coil packs.
  8. Yes, but dealer confirmed coolant, leaky plastic pipes. Do you have a TSB for the replacement pipes? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...oad&id=1395
  9. Try 8423 or 8421 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  10. You already have a thread going on this - why start another?
  11. We have added and/or updated August and September 2009 TSBs in the following categories (21 TSBs total): 987-2 = 3 987C2 = 2 997-2 = 4 997 TT = 1 Cayenne = 2 Cayenne gen 2 = 3 Panamera = 5 All/Other = 1

  13. You are talking about the Current Distributor.
  14. The ignition lock/switch is on fuse C2.
  15. Thanks Loren. Looks like the spare can be set up with a transmitter - with possible faults and error messages (4th from the last statement above), but it needs to be coded (3rd to the last statement above). I assume that coding requires the PIWIS or the Porsche System Tester II No 9588. Is this a good assumption? When I went into the multifunction menus, I'm pretty sure I found a place for this data. Here's my menu sequence: Main->Tire Pressure->Settings->Tyres All Season 18"->Spare Wheel->Spare Wheel (as opposed to the collapsible wheel). It then shows the following message momentarily: NO MONITORING SYSTEM LEARNING. It then reverts back to the Tire Pressure Menu with fixed, not measured, values of 34 in the front, 39 in the rear and 49 in the spare position. Am I "whistling Dixie" by thinking I can put a transmitter in that full sized rear mounted spare; and get it to work? Since I have 5 full sized wheels/tires, I really would like to be able to do a 5 tire rotation. Thanks for your kind assistance! You will need a PIWIS to do the programming. Where are you located? Perhaps a member here can help you out?
  16. From the diagnostic section of the service manual: "Warning - Despite the advantages of the tyre pressure monitoring system, it is the responsibility of the driver to make the appropriate adjustments and to ensure that wheels are in the proper condition. ♦ The serial numbers of the wheel electronics must be read in when replacing wheel electronics, the control module or entire wheels with active wheel electronics. This can be done using the Porsche System Tester ll No. 9588 or by driving for approx. 20 minutes. The tyre type and the size of the new wheels must also be recorded. Otherwise the system is not active. ♦ New wheel electronics (spare parts) are only active (enabled) if they are subjected to pressure (>2 bar) for longer than 2 minutes. ♦ The standard spare wheel is not supplied with wheel electronics and is therefore not monitored. ♦ If one or more spare wheels with active wheel electronics are carried (including a spare wheel that is carried externally), this can lead to faults and error messages in the system. ♦ If a full-size spare wheel that is carried externally is coded, the customer will always receive a reminder (in the instrument cluster), after approx. 6 months, to check the pressure of the spare wheel. ♦ Additional tyre sizes can be entered for various tyre types using the Porsche System Tester ll No. 9588. ♦ Faults can occur in the system if temperatures rise above 120°C on the wheel electronics or if there is radio interference as a result of strong transmitters. The faults are indicated in the instrument cluster."
  17. There are only 5 rows of fuses in the main fuse block (A, B, C, D, and E). What is your problem and what fuse are you trying to locate please?
  18. Please tell us the exact model and year of your car and the fault code(s). Without the fault code(s) everything is a guess...
  19. The engine purge fan should only run when the engine is too hot. If the radiators or the thermostat are not working properly - then your car is too hot. The actual values testing with one of the tools I mentioned above would verify whether the engine is really too hot or the their is a sensor/DME problem.
  20. :welcome: Have you cleaned your front radiators? Also, if everything else is good (actual temperature readings should be verified with using the Durametirc software, a PST2, or PIWIS tester) then you could have a stuck thermostat.
  21. Disconnecting the battery will not reset an airbag light. You will need the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester to read the fault that is causing the airbag light. Correct that problem and then use one of those tools to reset the airbag light.
  22. Try 9242 or 9240 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  23. Why do you have two finishes available? Is this a commercial sale? (i.e. are you a company?)
  24. Tool Pants posted a pic (somewhere here) several years ago - his tool is a pair of channel locks with rubber hose of the metal jaws. Worked great.
  25. If they are installed like most then they were epoxied in place. Perhaps someone has a trick for removal when they are glued on?
