Removal 1. Disconnect the battery and cover the terminal or battery. Remove the complete air cleaner assembly. 2. Disconnect the line from the tank venting valve and the electrical plug connection. Disconnect the electrical plug connections at the idle speed positioner and throttle potentiometer. 3. Disengage accelerator cable and remove throttle body. Pull off vacuum check valve. 4. Disconnect the vent line for the oil separator at the intake distributor. Undo all hose clamps (4 ea.) at the intake distributor and push the rubber sleeves to the side. Pull out intake distributor to the rear. 5. Pullback protective cap on the starter cable and undo cable terminal 30 (M8)and terminal 50 (M6)at the starter. 6. Undo the upper fastening screw. To do this, use the following 3/8 inch tool: 3 long extensions, cross handle, universal joint and hexagon socket wrench insert a/f 15. The joints can be secured using adhesive tape. 7. Undo the lower fastening screw from the right generator mounting side. 8. Carefully remove the starter from the engine compartment to the rear. Installation Tightening torques: Terminal 30 Nut -- M8 15 Nm (11 ftlb.) Terminal 50 Nut -- M66.5 Nm (5 ftlb.) Hexagon-head bolt -- M10 45 Nm (33 ftlb.) 1. The angled cable lug of terminal 50 (M6) faces in driving direction (transmission) after assembly. 2. Carefully center the intake distributor. Push both rubber sleeves onto the intake distributor up to the marking (line) and secure (2 hose clamps). 3. Check bore in the rubber sleeves for check valve and vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator for clear passage. 4. Engage accelerator cable and install throttle body. Fit fastening screw M6 x 20 at the bottom right. 5. Tighten the outer hose clamps of the rubber sleeve after securing the throttle body on the hydraulic pump housing. The throttle body must not contact the hydraulic pump housing. 6. The intake system must be checked for leaks after assembly (visual inspection).

Porsche says: "Bedding in the brake pads New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km. Not until then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when traveling at high speed only in emergencies."

P1502 Throttle Jacking Unit, Spring Test – Above Limit This fault says that your throttle sensor (not MAF) is bad. The throttle body and sensor should be the same - unless he has updated to the new one. In that case you would need to get your DME programmed for the new sensor.
