    If it were me, I would use only Porsche approved ATF.

    Tests that fail. The PST2 or PIWIS have specific tests for the Tip. Sorry, I don't have any screenshots of the tests (I'll have to take some next time I see a Tip).
  4. Loren
    Not sure what you mean by gear box? Front axle? or Tiptronic? The Tiptronic ATF change is the same as the Carrera.

    Depending on the age of your brake fluid it could have been that it was over 2 years old and water content was high. ATE Typ200 (Gold) is what the factory fill is and is usually fine for the occasional DE person. Remember it is recommended to change your brake fluid every 2 or 3 track events where in normal driving you can go up to 2 years.

    Mice? (would not be the first time)

    I ordered an OBDII scanner. I will check the codes. The "check engine" light is on anyway. I will also try my old cluster and see if everything remains the same. Any idea how to verify if the speed sensor works properly? Thanks I agree with RFM a generic code reader will not show anything but P series fault codes. You will need a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester to check this.
  8. Loren
    I would run a code reader and see if there are any fault codes or pending codes.

    Have a look at the fuel door latch replacement DIY - we removed the canister to get access to the door latch. This is on a 996 but a 986 is the same. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13955

    Did you try turning the left hand cluster knob to adjust the brightness (with the lights on)?
  11. Loren
    :welcome: It is always best to use a code reader and get the fault code(s) before deciding a course of action.
  12. Loren
    Check the polyrib belt pulleys, and water pump.
  13. Loren
    Try 1376 or 1374
  14. Loren
    The is only one rev limiter. These are DME reports of revs - they are called "stages". The engine rev limiter can do nothing for a missed downshift or a spin (backwards) where you fail to get the clutch in fast enough. Both can seriously damage an engine.
  15. Loren
    Yes, more pics would be great. Thanks!

    If you use thread lock be sure and keep it away from the the brake fluid path. The fluid should not spray out - drip a little maybe. Change the lines then hook up your power bleeder and bleed per the order in the DIY.

    :thumbup:

    1. LOL... normally brake don't need replacing - but the procedure is pretty simple.And, yes bleeding is required. 2. I do not know what Pelican sells - but I don't htink they are Porsche SS brake lines. Those are available from Porsche MotorSport for and arm and a leg. I personally do not like SS brake lines on street cars because they tend to unscrew themselves. On race cars they check the fitting every race (and if they don't tech inspection does). Most folks driving around on the street forget about them until they have a leak or worse. JMHO. 3. If you are only replacing the brake lines that is all after the PSM/ABS so I don't think you will need to use a PST2 or PIWIS to run the ABS pump.

    Sorry, don't know the prices. Try TRG (The Racers Group) or some other Race prep shop near you.
  21. Loren
    Check on your registration papers or the bill of sale. The only other way is to get a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche. They do this in the US but I do not know if they offer it in Europe. In the US it costs about $150 - and they send you a certificate that shows what the car sold for (MSRP) and all colors and options.
  22. Loren
    I think you will still be fighting the ABS. If you change the brake balance you will need to change the ABS. I would try the racing version of the ABS first. As I recall the one that the race prep shops sell does not turn on ABS until two wheels lock (it only takes one wheel lock on the standard version).
  23. Loren
    None of those is your interior color code. If it is a MY99 and it was a optional (not special order) interior color then the interior color is likely Boxster Red. Click on the link in my signature to se pictures of my MY99 Carrera in Artic Silver and Boxster Red interior.

    Did you buy the package that lets you go back to stock? If so you might try going back to stock. It is very strange to have random misfires - 2 on each bank.

    Open the rear lid and look for a connector that takes the wires from the right rear fender to the rear lid. Inspect the connector looking for corrosion or damaged wires.
