  1. Could be either but Beru was used most often.
  2. Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  3. Factory coolant is considered "Lifetime" as long as it is not contaminated.
  4. Search is wonderful thing... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15721 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16183
  5. No, I don't think you would want to do that even if the hubs fit. 993 front rotors are 304 mm diameter and 996 front rotors are 318 mm.
  6. M490 and/or M680?
  7. Almost no differences at all. The Turbo Cabriolet was introduced in MY04 and there were changes to the GT2 but almost no changes to MY04 Turbo (from MY03).

  9. If it is a Porsche 3 spoke it will fit - we have done this many times.
  10. Your picture is from a MY99-01 instrument cluster. From your profile your car is a MY02. Sorry, but you can not change the position (or style) of the display on either instrument cluster. Only MPH or KPH and temperature F or C can be changed.
  11. Let's put a lot of this to rest. Here is what Porsche says in TSB 4/97 9662 Vehicle Key with Remote Sender "The following problems may occur when activating the remote sender on cars with option M535: - No function of the remote sender - control lights do not flash - central locking system does not work Possible causes for the above listed failures are: 1. Discharged battery. The cause could be a discharged battery in the vehicle or in the remote sender. A discharged battery will not flash the LED in the key head when the remote is activated. If necessary replace the battery in the key head. 2. The remote sender is out of range of the receiver. If unclear about the operating range of the remote sender, stand next to the vehicle and operate the sender. Note that a reduced range indicates a weak battery in the remote sender. If the remote sender has been activated more than 256 times and less than 1024 times with the receiver out of range or while the vehicle battery is disconnected the unit must be resynchronized as follows: - Switch on the ignition (ignition key must have the correct transponder). - Switch off the ignition. - Remove the key and press the remote sender button within 6 seconds after the ignition key has been removed The activation counter will then be reset to zero. 3. The “Energy Saving” mode is activated. To reduce the current draw on the vehicle battery, the receiver is automatically switched off if the vehicle is not used for 5 days (120 hours) since the last time the ignition was switched on and off. At this point the vehicle can only be opened mechanically with the key. The remote sender function is restored once the ignition is switched on again. 4. Atmospheric interference from other transmitters. Intermittent interference is possible due to the many users of this frequency in the automotive industry. 5. Defective remote sender or receiver. If the remote button is depressed and the LED on the remote does not illuminate, either the battery in the remote sender is discharged or the remote sender is defective. If the control light in the center of the dash does not blink after depressing the button on a functioning remote sender, either the vehicle battery is discharged or the alarm/immobilizer control unit is faulty. Before replacing the control unit, ensure that the 15 A fuse on the alarm/immobilizer control unit is functional. The fuse is replaceable and externally accessible. A damaged fuse is a indication of a short in a monitored alarm system component, for example, the alarm horn." Of course all of our Contributing Members have access to all the Porsche TSBs.
  12. Do you know if this is a Blaupunkt or Beckjer radio? Also, how many digits in the code? Are you sure the serial number doesn't start with BP instead of B8? Not enough digits in the serial number for any of my Blaupunkt decoders.
  13. You might want to remove the battery and check underneath it (where the fuel tank is). Sometime critters like to crawl in there and nibble on the wires and hoses. If it is that noticeable I am surprised you don't have a CEL.

  15. That would depend on how badly damaged the bracket is. If you do need to remove a hose clamp it off. Also, you can catch the coolant in a tub and then filter it and reuse it.
  16. We have added and/or updated December 2008 TSBs in the following categories (21 TSBs total): 987-1 = 2 997-1 = 2 997-2 - 9 997 GT3 = 1 997TT - 1 997 GT2 = 1 Cayenne - 2 Cayenne gen 2 - 1 Cayman-1 = 2
  17. Remove the front bumper and air ducts on the damaged side. See the 3rd radiator DIY. Remove the wheel and wheel well liner on that side. The brackets should be right in front of you then.
  18. I just sent you a PM with more info...
  19. Here are the connections from the iPod back to PCM3. I hope it is readable.
  20. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...dpost&p=117
  21. This is from inside PIWIS - so all I can do get a screen shot. So I can only "blow-up" small sections and still have them readable. What exactly do you need?
