    Yes, your temperature gauge should be in middle all the time after warm-up.
  2. Loren
    No, Durametirc can not change country coding (at this time). You will need a Porsche dealer or high end shop that has a PIWIS.
  3. Loren
    Unless your car is overheating that fan should rarely come on. For the 987 series cars - "The engine compartment scavenging blower is switched on and off at the following temperatures: Engine compartment temperature: ON at > 158° F. (70° C), OFF at < 131° F. (55° C). Coolant temperature: ON at > 216° F. (102° C), OFF at < 210° F. (99° C). It can also be activated at high intake air temperatures / ambient temperatures." If your fan is on during these "off" temperature ranges then something is wrong.

    Get your fault codes and report back here.

    Ah... 987 Warning light For Coolant Temperature Gauge Activated Have your local dealer perform the action in TSB 2/06 1912 Warning light For Coolant Temperature Gauge Activated -- dated April 18, 2006.

    The fan in the engine compartment or the fans in front fenders?
  7. Loren
    That may be able to be (country) re-coded with a PIWIS tester. Where are you located?
  8. Loren
    Look for an option sticker under the front hood or in the manuals (that I hope came with the car).
  9. Loren
    :welcome: How long have you driven it since the battery change? It will take the DME 5 to 10 miles to reset and re-learn it's adaption program.
  10. Loren
    Try 9373 or 9371 Thank you very much. I will give it a try later today. :rolleyes: Tried it. Unfortunately, the codes did not work and then shifted into wait mode. Any other suggestions? The local dealer/crook demands that I set an appointment late next and pay an unspecificied amount - all because of a dead battery. Thanks in advance. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  11. Loren
    :welcome: That would depend on the model and year of your car. Have you looked at the Maintenance Schedules here?
  12. Loren
    Look on the cars option code list see if it show I7K3 or I7K4.
  13. Loren
    So is the sender in the resevoir tank? Yes. But if the tank is leaking there will usually be coolant under the carpet in the rear trunk.
  14. Loren
    Could be a bad sender in the tank or since it was in an accident the tank could be cracked.
  15. Loren
    Yes that is the oil level sender. I assume your oil pressure is fine?
  16. Loren
    Loren, My maf sensor has the nr. 124.00 at the end. Does this mean that this is the wrong one, and i need the 125.01 and a DME upgrade??? By the way, my car was always running with the 124 and is from 02-2000 boris If you have a MY2000 Boxster then the TSB applies to your car. You can run the 124 or the 125.01. If you run the 125.01 then the DME needs to have the program changed to match it.
  17. Loren
    It is not unusually for the Super Blue to stain the tank. If the car was properly flushed and re-bled (including the clutch and ABS) then there should not be any residual Super Blue. Next time drive to my house (I am about 10 minutes from your dealer) and I'll help you do it (for free). This is not the first bad report I have heard on this dealer.
  18. Loren
    The OBD II fault codes are the key to helping you. Can you ask the shop to tell you the codes?
  19. Loren
    You need to get your fault codes checked. Is the CEL on?
  20. Loren
    Try 9373 or 9371
  21. Loren
    Detach support of steering lock on the assembly (arrow). The support is fastened with a screw. The AC side vent must be removed to allow access to this screw. Undo steering lock fastening screw A. Unlock steering lock on the steering column (press spring-loaded pin B with a scriber) and simultaneously pull the steering lock out of the steering column.
  22. Loren
    Yes, the engine purge fan. This fan only comes on when the engine (surrounding air) temp exceeds a set number. At that point it turns on and pulls cool air into the engine compartment. For most drivers this fan rarely comes on.
  23. Loren
    Either a dealer or Becker should be able to do it over the phone. They might require that you fax them proof of ownership.
  24. Loren
    Furthers tests will likely require a PIWIS or other sophisticated test gear that can read FRAs and RKAT. I do not have P1165 on any of my lists - are you sure about that number? Engine purge fan fault is P1675 - either way this is not likely related to your air leak problem.
  25. Loren
    If you look at the spring color codes they will tell you also.
