    Any chance there is water under the drivers seat (where the control box is)?
  2. Loren
    Um... where are you located? It is pretty unusual to lose a fan motor. It would be best if you can find someone with a PST or PIWIS to confirm your findings.
  3. Loren
    I agree there could be a small amount of blue left in the ABS/PSM if you flush it yourself. But, a dealer has a PST2 and or PIWIS so their flush procedure should clear the ABS/PSM. I still can't find an excuse for the dealer - other than they didn't do it.
  4. Loren
    Anyone with a PST2 or PIWIS can program a key for you - provide the key head has the tag with it's unique number and an IPAS code from Porsche. You can not program a key with a special IPAS code directly from Porsche (theft protection). Some OPS's might get the IPAS number for you but some won't.

    I am not sure what you mean about the DME km and the cluster km. I don't recall the DME keeping km traveled. The number after Number of ignitions, range 1 (or 2) is the engine operating hour of the last over rev.
  6. Loren
    Look at the door striker and see if it has any unusual wear compared to the other side.

    Stage 1 ignitions are pretty normal results of hitting the rev limiter. We do not know for sure but we believe that since they are categorized as "ignitions" that for one engine revolution (in say 1 second) you would get 6 ignitions. Either way these are "safe" over revs because the rev limiter protected the engine. I would not worry about the number. Stage 2 ignitions are over revs the rev limiter can not protect against - such as a missed downshift. In some cases Porsche may deny warranty claims if there are many stage 2 over revs - as they are viewed as signs of abuse. i have seen cars with hundreds and thousands of stage 2 over revs. i certain would worry about 8.

    Have you checked your door striker latch to make sure it is not mis-aligned and moving the door position when closing?
  9. Loren
    Did you have a look at the TSBs? There are couple related to door rattles.
  10. Loren
    Try 8957 or 8955

    The car is a flat 6 cylinder - so the cylinders (and pistons) are horizontal. It is fairly normal to have a little oil leak by the rings when the engine is not running. Then when you start the engine it burns off the oil.

    Not if you buy from Sunset... I completed the replacement, but none of the buttons on that panel work now (including door locks). It's pretty sweet when things like this happen for no reason. Any suggestions? Are you sure everything is plugged in the right places and there are no blown fuses?
  13. Loren
    Yes, there is a good chance there are more codes (not hidden - just more). If you notice all of you problem are on one side (bank) if the engine. This could be a an intake air leak on that side or bad adjusted camshaft control for that side. If the it is a badly adjusted camshaft control then the adaptation values in area 1 differ in bank 1 and bank 2 (e.g. TRA=0.02/TRA2=0.27). The adaptation values for area 2 are generally normal. If this is the case the camshaft control needs to be reset - then recheck the adaption values.

    DO NOT try to take apart a MY02 or newer seat belt - there are pyrotechnic ball belt tensioners in these units. There is a great chance of injury if you try to take them apart. 1 Ball arrester 2 Tube with propellant charge 3 Gas pressure 4 Pistons 5 Pinion 6 Mass body (balls)

    have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)? They sell just the heads for $88.45— $105.55 Loren, Excuse my ignorance regarding the keys but If I have a "chewed" head of my key can I simply buy a replacement head and do a swop? If so how does all the coding stuff work? Thanks RB Yes if the metal part of your key is fine you can just replace the head. It will need to be programmed by a dealer to match the alarm unit in your car. Any "good" dealer should the programming for $100 or less.
  16. Loren
    I answered your PM (on the same subject).
  17. Loren
    Have you checked with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)? Otherwise I think you need to look at a salvage yard...

    If it is the fan blast resister - then you cut the wires on the old one and solder or use watertight crimps when installing the new resister. Unless your coil packs are cracked or the electrical connectors are damaged (see the DIY) you should not need to replace anything else.
  20. Loren
    :welcome: The 4 relays for the fans are all the same - you can swap them to verify that it is not a relay. If the relay change does not make a difference - then check the stage 2 part of the fan (turn the AC on). If the stage 2 (high speed) fan works - the problem is likely the fan ballast resister on that side. The spark plug DIY is here (you do not need to remove the read bumper).
