    The best thing to do is remove the transmission and inspect the damage. My advice would be that if they replace the RMS - replace the IMS also (and use the newer sealed bolts). The clutch and flywheel are easily inspected at the same time.

    P0456 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak) Most likely a loose gas cap. P0513 Immobilizer Approval - Signal Implausible DME or key problem. None of those other codes come up in any of my books. In this case - you should have the codes read with a PIWIS.

    Looks too small to be either seal... mostly likely a piece of clutch facing or ???

    Try this... Put you hand on the heater core after the engine is warmed up and at operating temperature. The heater core is in the center under the front hood near the battery (follow the two hoses). It should feel warm. If it does then the problem is the the heater controls under the dash or a bad air flow temp sensor.

    I would start with an under car inspection. Look for loose or badly worn swaybar bushings, muffler heat shields rubbing, and spin the wheels and listen for noises.

    Two possibilities come to mind. As RFM said - the headlight switch. These are a fairly common failure that can result in all kinds of strange lighting issues. Once you have confirmed the headlight switch is either okay (or new) the I would guess the light sensor in the cluster may be bad. To easily confirm that you would need the Durametric Software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    You can go the original number (4814) and add or subject by 2. Sometimes that works - sometimes you have to contact a dealer or Becker.
  8. Loren
    Try 1968 or 1966
  9. Loren
    What model year please?
  10. Loren
    Get a PPI and if you are buying from a Porsche dealer get a CPO warranty.
  11. Loren
    Try 4814 or 4812

    RFM is referring to the two solenoids that lock the front and rear latches when you lock the car. I guess if one of these solenoids is bad it might make a buzzing sound.
  13. Loren
    The alarm/immobilizer/central locking control unit is always under the left hand seat - regardless of whether it is LHD or RHD.
  14. Loren
    Did you check the front swaybar bushing for wear and tightness?
  15. Loren
    Uh... the hood release lever is next alarm control unit under the left hand seat. M490 is the amp in the front trunk.
  16. Loren
    Bridgestone Potenza S-02A N3 is an approved tire by Porsche.
  17. Loren
  18. Loren
    Probably yes, you might want to tape the end of the extra stop light connector though.
  19. Loren
    Sorry, no.
  20. Loren
    Try 0275 or 0273

    It might help if you post where you live. Here in California only state approved companies can sell extended warranties. Car dealers (here) can not sell their own warranty they must sell 3rd party approved warranties. Regulations vary from state to state.
  22. Loren
    That is pretty much true. If the immobilizer/alarm/central locking control box is badly damaged (by water or accident) then none of those systems will work and your car can not be started. In a rare case or two the owner has been able to open the box clean and dry out the circuit board and get it to function again. If not, then you are stuck with buying a box and paying a dealer (or shop with a PST2) to program the immobilizer (to the DME) and the keys to the new immobilizer.

    Dealers on Porsche's dealer network get these notifications almost immediately (or over-night). Dealers not on the network and 3rd party shops get notification on a CD that is usually published every month (or two or three in some cases). Our subscription is for the CD version and an update is overdue...
  24. Loren
    I sent you a PM.

    Without seeing the MAF air flow - it would appear that you have an air leak somewhere in the air intake. The engine is seeing to much air.
