    If you own a laptop.. Durametric Software

    P2188 Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - below limit value Lambda control adaptation FRAU (lower load range) - above limit value Lambda control adaptation RKAT (range near idle speed) - above limit value Lambda control adaptation RKAT (range near idle speed) - below limit value They need to look at the FRAU and RCAT readings to see which issue it really is. P2098 Lambda correction downstream, bank 1 – rich/lean control limit exceeded Possible fault causes: - Leakage in exhaust system between the two oxygen sensors - Oxygen sensor upstream faulty (contaminated/aged) This one is likely caused by the primary fault (P2188) - as I said they need to look at FRAU and RKAT. LOL -- VAG codes are VW and Audi specific.

    If you use the Motul RBF-600 be sure and do a complete flush (including the ABS). Motul RBF-600 is a 100% Synthetic brake fluid and should not be mixed with conventional brake fluids.

    It is certainly your call. I would buy the best you can afford. But, some facts about the ATE Typ200... ATE TYP 200 Brake Fluid (DOT 4) has a dry boiling point of 536F and a wet boiling point of 396F. ATE TYP 200 is compatible and will mix with MOST DOT3, DOT4, or DOT 5.1 Fluids. ATE TYP 200 Brake Fluid lies 20 °C over the DOT 5.1 standard and surpasses this standard in nearly all the other requirements as well.

    Try 8957 or 8955 Thanks for the quick response yesterday ! I tried both codes and neither worked :-(. I did some more digging around and still couldn't find the card. I did find my second key which I'd looked for in the past ! :-) Any suggestion for a next step ? Thanks again. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    The power bleeder sure is a handy way to bleed the brakes but can be don't with two people. I do not recommend bleeding the clutch (which is in the same circuit) without a power bleeder though.
  7. Loren
    With or without PASM?
  8. Loren
    1975,1976, and 1977 were all 3 liter cars 1978 began the 3.3 liter cars. If you want to be sure get the serial number from the engine (case) and I will look it up.
  9. Loren
    Not that I am aware of. The radio needs a code from the cars DME (engine computer) via MOST (fiber optic network) to run.
  10. Loren
    Try 3312 or 3310
  11. Loren
    I do not know and I don't have one here to look at. If it is a Porsche OEM seat belt then it has the pyrotechnic tensioners.
  12. Loren
    Technically it looks like it will fit any narrow body 996 (no C4S). The matching front bumper will not fit a MY02 and car because the headlight and fender openings changed.
  13. Loren
    There should be a fuse diagram on the back of the fuse door panel (down by your left). You will likely have to remove the fuse and hold it to light to see if it is blown (or measure it's continuity with a meter). If you want power for your V1 use the telephone prep connector that is in all US/Canada cars. It has switched (power off when ignition is off) and unswitched (power always on). I think you want switched power for your V1 so it will not run your battery down. The cigarette light is unswitched power - so it is always on. Do a search here the telephone prep connector and V1 installation have been covered many times.

    Model and year of car please?
  15. Loren
    XZN108 which I believe is 8 mm.
  16. Loren
    I have this same set shown here... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=81630 You eBay or Google for "VIM Tools 8 Piece XZN Triple Square Metric 3/8" Drive"

    PST2 and PIWIS are both Porsche diagnostic computers - most good shops have one or both. Yes, check the fans using the tester.
  18. Loren
    Any chance there is water under the drivers seat (where the control box is)?
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  23. Loren
    Look at the door striker and see if it has any unusual wear compared to the other side.
  24. Loren
    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?
