    C00 - Germany (country) version None of the other (of those Exclusive option codes) show up on any of my lists. You would need to get a VIN report or Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche to perhaps get some information on those codes.

    Please try using our Search feature - it really works well.... GT3 Bumper Screen Install, DIY

    Porsche does not supply schematics for the inside of the (Bosch) DME - only the inputs and outputs of the box. A chip does not have to be changed to alter the programming. There are several after market companies that re-program the existing DME. Event thought they call ot "chipping" very few actually replace a chip they just re-program the ROM.

    Thank you. You are very welcome. I am glad the board has helped - after all we are a family (of Porsche owners) and there are many here that are more than willing to help when they can. Happy Holidays to all!

    Your local Porsche dealer or Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost).

    On older cars (pre MY2003 MOST cars) there was a radio security code that was required to use the radio. This was intended (I think) as a deterrent to keep people from stealing the car radio. CDR-23 is a MOST radio and has its code stored in the DME so if the power fails you do not lose the code. If the radio in a MOPT system car is changed (to another Porsche CDR-23) then the new radip's code need to be entered into the DME (with a PIWIS or PST2 tester).

    No adjustment - if it is bad then it should be replaced.
  8. Loren
    Please tell us what model and year car? US or RoW?

    If the Boxster S engine is from a MY03 or newer Boxster then it has VarioCam Plus and would require a DME change and you may need to use the fuel lines and intake from your old engine (due to changed in the fuel circuit (returnless fuel system)).

    The list price for MY99 Owners Manual (WKD 996 120 99) is only $20. I think the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can even do better than that.

    The following is Porsche's test spec for the vehicle battery (from TSB 4/02 2706 Battery - Maintenance Checklist -- dated 3-7-03)
  12. Loren
    Yes, there is no ICV on egas cars. Idle control is done through minute movements of the throttle butterfly.
  13. Loren
    5 years - consider yourself lucky. Very few batteries last 5 years. Start to plan your next purchase at 4 years.
  14. Loren
    Yes.
  15. Loren
    In the US you usually purchase an extended warranty that starts when the manufacturers warranty ends.
  16. Loren
    Error codes over 100 indicate a faulty control module and cannot be reset even with a PIWIS or PST2.
  17. Loren
    Measure the voltage across the battery (+ and - ) terminals at rest (engine not running) and while the engine is running (with an accurate volt meter).
  18. Loren
    Try 8951 or 8949
  19. Loren
    Sorry, I do not understand your question (or statement)
  20. Loren
    When the car is running it should be about 14 volts at the battery. At rest it should be at least 12 volts. If the battery and charging circuit is good then I think you need a new triggering unit.
  21. Loren
    What is the fault code? and where are you located?
  22. Loren
    Fault 1 Possible cause of fault - Faulty fuse - Airbag warning light faulty (no bulb, cannot be exchanged) - Short circuit to B+/ground or open circuit in the wiring between the instrument cluster and the airbag triggering unit Fault 3 Possible cause of fault - Low battery positive voltage (this is fairly common if the battery has been recently disconnected). Fault 195 Fault codes above 100 Possible cause of fault - Airbag triggering unit faulty Check the voltage supply (battery and charging circuit) before replacing any control module.
  23. Loren
    What is the fault code(s)?
  24. Loren
    I sent you a PM.

    P0154 Oxygen Sensor Ahead of TWC, Bank 2 – Interruption of Signal P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 – Above Limit P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 – Above Limit P0300 Misfire Detection (Sum Total) P0301 Misfiring, Cylinder 1 P0302 Misfiring, Cylinder 2 P0303 Misfiring, Cylinder 3 These codes say your fuel mixture is too rich for the DME to control - to the point of misfires. Since it is only on one side of the engine I think you should start looking for leaks and/or an air/oil separator problem. Unless someone just changed the spark plugs (and cracked the coils) there is no reason for 3 plugs to all misfire at the same time other than a leak on that side of the engine.
