    Motive is the only way to go in my book. http://astore.amazon.com/renntechorg-20/de...5485578-9630454 If your fluid is very bad you will definitely notice a difference. The idea is to change it before it gets that bad - at least every two years.

    tried it - not the battery. if i reprogram the car, does it mean the other key will stop working? do both get reprogrammed? When you program a key you must have ALL the keys present. There are only 4 key slots available in the immobilizer - so max keys is 4. When you replace a bad key you need the good keys so you know which key code is the bad one to program over. If don't have all the keys present you run the risk of programming over a good key and leaving the bad key program in the immobilizer (wasting a spot or disabling another key).

    The ebrake uses shoes and drums inside the rear hub. The ebrake in the car should hold the car firm at 4 clicks. If it does not then it needs to be adjusted.

    well if it were a relay wouldn't the ac have trouble with the fans as well? if the fans worked in high speed just not low speed wouldn't that point to the ballast? is it a different sensor that causes th fans to kick on vs the hvac hack readout? is there is something else that would prevent the fans to work? something that the ac system would bypass? There are 4 relays for the fans on a 996. 1 each for low speed and 1 each high speed on each side.

    Try a new battery first. If that does not work you might have to have programmed to the car.

    I would do it yourself. The 911 is the easiest oil change I have ever done. The filter and plug are right there when you crawl under behind one of the rear wheels. No need to jack up the car. I have done it twice on my 2008 C2S. The hardest part, literally, is taking the 8 1/2 quarts of oil to the recycling center and having a big enough drain pan. I purchased filters, an oil filter wrench (used with a socket wrench), and replacement plugs from Suncoast. They were great and the prices are right. I don't have the part numbers but you will get the right parts if you select your car on Suncoast's web site (http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?) Here is some info on sizes and torque settings: Oil drain plug: 8mm hex Oil drain plug tightening torque: 37 ft-lbs Oil filter canister size: 74 mm Porsche oil filter canister removal tool socket size: 27 mm (1-1/16 socket fits perfectly) Oil filter canister tightening torque: 19 ft-lbs You also need a torque wrench to be sure and get everything tightened down properly. Ummm... Oil Change Instructions DIY

Could you provide me a new number and how many chaces left. Thanks Robert There is no "new number" there is only one code for your radio. Please re-read the Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST I pointed you to.

    Then check and see if the door hinge is loose.

    The recommended change is at 120,000 miles/180,000 km or 12 years. I think it is the same spec as 996 but refill after a change is 2.6 liters. So far there have been no "Approved transmission oils" TSBs for the 997.

    997.101.212.00 RMS The housing and o-ring will depend on your engine number. Most often the problem on the IMS leak is the 3 bolts that hold the housing and o-ring in place - these should be the newer self-encapsulated screws that seal them selves. 999.217.150.99

    One honk means 1 zone is open. Most common are the center console cover or the front hood microswitch.

    Did you loosen the brackets as the DIY calls out? What is it hitting on?

    :welcome: P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold P1125 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Lean Threshold (DTC 357) This says your DME senses that the mixture is too rich and it can not correct for it by leaning the mixture. P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold (DTC 360) P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold (DTC 361) This says your DME senses that the mixture is too lean and it can not correct for it by making the mixture rich. Very odd to see these four codes together. Any mods? Have you cleaned the MAF recently? Perhaps you should tell us more about the car...

    The are two small (cheap) self-tapping nuts on the back side.

    Fault code 46 Driver's belt buckle - Incorrect coding - Short circuit to B+/ground or open circuit in the wiring between the driver's belt buckle and the airbag triggering unit - Driver's belt buckle faulty - Triggering unit for airbag faulty I do not think the CD could have had anything to do with it. 9 times out of 10 it is a bad connection at the drivers side seat belt buckle. I would try cleaning the connection. If it persists replace the buckle assembly.

    Here is the complete Cruise Circuit for a MY99 car. The clutch switch is easy to jumper so you can confirm or eliminate it.
  23. Loren
    Do you see it here?
  24. Loren
    The best way to check the fans is the runs the tests in a PST2 or PIWIS tester. That would confirm whether it is a fan (ballast, relay) problem or a stuck thermostat.

    Try 9614 or 9612
