    He couldn't tell me when I went out there. He said it is "failing sensor" Sorry, without the fault codes everything is just a guess...
  2. Loren
    And the fault code(s) were....

    I was giving you the procedure out of the manual - so you would know it was bonded. Porsche does not say what the adhesive is - just "adhesive set" and a part number. I am sure any glass repair company knows what to use - and likely how to fix it.
  5. Loren
    Try 5059 or 5057

    "Using the bonding gun, apply 2-component adhesive along the cover trim of the rear window in the form of a triangular bead. Dimension "X" = approx. 15 mm When applying the adhesive, it is essential to ensure that it overlaps. Note: Two persons are needed to insert and adjust the rear window."

    Yes, remove calipers (hang them carefully to the side). Then remove the phillips head screws.

    Narrow body cars have the same brakes - so as long as it is not a C4S you should be ok. The pads may already be burnt into the shape of the old rotors. They might be reusable - but might take some burning in to bring them back to full stopping potential. Torque for the caliper bolts is 63 ftlb. Some folks reuse them if they are really good shape - Porsche says to always replace them.

    1. Yes, they seem to go bad or wear out. 2. Yes, they are a thin wire film sensor. They both get damaged and dirty pretty easily. The egas cars got a new MAF that has a Z pattern that seems to help keeping the dirt out but older non-egas cars (MY99 C2) can not use those MAF's. 3. Yes, you will need to look at the air flow over the sensor, TRA and FRA. You will likely need the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS to monitoer these readings. 4. No, not usually. P1602 says you disconnected the battery.

    IMHO - small changes are impossible to see on 1 dyno run. See my blog entry on dynos. There are many variables that can change HP and torque - including air temp and engine and cooling temps.

    Any day now - certainly before August (we hope).

    The car horn and alarm horn are two different horns.

    Radio/Cassette/CD Manuals

    Isn't there some button you can press that will automatically search for stations with PTY and preset them for you? Not to my knowledge.
  15. Loren
    As I recall you don't need to program anything. If the radio station supports PTY then it displays - if it does not support PTY then it does not display. From the radio owners manual: "The PTY is broadcast by the RBDS transmitter, provided that the transmitter is equipped with this function."
  16. Loren
    Try 0408 or 0406
  17. Loren
    You need to match your rotors - so, if you have gen 1 then stay with gen1 (unless you change them all). Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) should have a much better price for you.

    Adjusting Hood Latch Mechanism
  19. Loren
    Please do a search here - this has been covered many times.
  20. Loren
    The threads I posted said how to solve your alarm going off after a dead battery and how to replace the ignition switch. There are many many threads on releasing the front bonnet latch. So, I guess I don't understand what problem has not been addressed...

    Please try our Search function - these topics have been covered here before - UK cars are special in this regard.
  23. Loren
    Model and year car please? US/Canada or RoW?
  24. Loren
    How do you know when the sensors are worn into? Is it just increased brake noise or is there an actual warning light? The brake sensors are just a wire. When the wire wears through it breaks the connection and the light turns on.
