    Yes, I use the K&N charger - then wrap it in newspaper overnight to absorb the excess oil.

    996.645.140.01 was replaced by 996.645.140.02 which was replaced by 997.645.140.02. The parts list says they are interchangeable - I do not know the difference.

    It never ceases to amaze me how a dealership can make a mistake like that - they are supposed to have "Porsche trained" techs. You need to come to one of our Work on Cars Days - we will teach you how to change your own oil - it is very easy (and about a quarter of the cost you just paid). An easy way to remove a small amount of oil is to remove the oil filter and pour out the oil in the filter. Then put the filter back on. Since you are local, if you want some help with this send me a PM.

    Yes, it should work fine.

    That air pump only run for a minute or two at startup (typically) - so I guess it didn't have enough "fault time" to move it from pending code to actual code.

    So the relay was completely gone from your car? Perhaps the previous owner did not like the vacuum cleaner sound at startup? ;)

    The ones I've seen/installed came with everything except the bolt.

    Have you contacted the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)?
  14. Loren
    Could be just a bad cluster - have they tried a different cluster?

    After reseting the DME it will take some driving to get the idle and power curve adopted. I am surprised that you changed the MAF for an idle problem. The MAF does nothing at idle - you can even disconnect it and it won't make any difference until the higher RPMs. If you had/have an erratic idle it is more likely a dirty throttle body and/or an air leak in the intake somewhere (loose hose, loose clamp, AOS failure, or oil filler tube failure, etc., etc.).

    Sorry, I think you are going to need to call a dealer or Becker. Last time I checked Becker charged $30.

    The serial number is on a label on the radio or on some models you can press a series of keys and have the serial number displayed in the readout.

    Looks like the (engine side) accelerator cable and grommet needs replacing. The part number for that cable is 986.423.229.04 and the grommet is 986.423.331.00. If by chance the accelerator cable is undamaged then you just need to replace the grommet. But the cable will need to come off for that.
  19. Loren
    How did you get your serial number? Through the front panel (as suggested)?

    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect February 2008 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For February 2008 the price lists support: US: 218,495 parts Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006) Thanks to Contributing Member Porschelibrarian!

    Yes, it would be a straight swap. No programming required.
  23. Loren
    READ this thread - it tells you what to do if the code I give you does not work.
  24. Loren
    Try 5006 or 5004

    It will look like the image below - just not glossy.
