    I would think no more than 1 hour of labor - it should only take a few minutes.

    :thumbup:

    Hmm... without the power assist to the steering that may be normal. There is some resistance and noise when you move the steering gears without the fluid pressure.

    :welcome: PCM 2 Installation

    LOL - 1 to 1 conversion schematics? Those don't exist unless you or Todd whats to create them. You need a service manual with schematics. Please read through Todd's posts (in other threads) to see where he got the pin tools. Replacing a car harness is a 2 day job - even for someone that is familiar with it. I don't recommend it.

    Most dealers do not both to bleed the ABS unless the system has been open (i.e. lines or components replaced). I have a PST (and PIWIS) and and I usually do not bleed the ABS on my own car.
  7. Loren
    Yes, a dealer or any shop with a PST or PIWIS can do it. It is more of a question of "if" they will. Liability issues and perhaps a waiver if you cause any engine/cat damage. And, yes it is reversible.

    I would check the two cable connections in the deck lid and the passenger side chassis. If you follow the cable near the deck lid fan it goes to a connector. Follow the cable to the chassis near the passenger side tail light.

    The rear battery is just used for the starter. The main electrical system battery is the one under the front seat.
  10. Loren
    Well, I have a 996 so I haven't done it - just helped people get the info. Please do re-post the process with pics.
  11. Loren
    The relay goes in position 16. If you have a relay there see if it is 986.615.103.00. If it is - then replace it with the 996 relay.
  12. Loren
    Here is the picture of the connector and wiring diagram - this should help a lot (note the 4 on the plug).
  13. Loren
    The only place I have seen it discussed is in the clutch pedal R&R section.

    What year is your car? - the lens on MY01 is different than MY02 and newer
  15. Loren
    From the Owners Manual: "The remote-control standby function switches off after 5 days If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control standby function is switched off (to prevent discharging of the vehicle battery). 1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock. Leave the door closed in order to prevent the alarm system from being triggered. 2. Press button 1 on the remote control. The remote control is now activated again."

    My house is available from 9 AM to 5 PM on Saturday (Nov 17). So everyone is welcome. I have most every tool, and the Durametric Software, a PST2 and a PIWIS. Anyone that needs directions can just PM me.
  17. Loren
    It would likely help if you... 1. Did a search on the subject (it has been covered many times). 2. State the model and year of your car - as different solutions are available for different models.
  18. Loren
    You will need the DME schematic for a 7.8 DME and you will need pin removal/insertion tools.
  19. Loren
    Sounds like air in the system to me. Anyone nearby that you can borrow a power bleeder from?
  20. Loren
    Are you using a pressure bleeder or the pedal? You are bleeding both fittings on each wheel? Another possibility is that the master cylinder is leaking back (or other leak).
  21. Loren
    Hmm... how many miles on your car (rotors) now? Porsche rotors have very little extra metal for turning. If there is much wear most shops will refuse to turn them (because they will end up below spec). http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10379
  22. Loren
    Probably obvious - but have you tried a new battery in the key fob or your 2nd key fob? Both key fobs likely have the same age of battery?
  23. Loren
    Stop lights = brake lights.
  24. Loren
    I was saying "you" should send them an email - info@durametric.com
  25. Loren
    Unless the bolts are worn I see no need to replace them.
