  1. Here is more than you probably want to know: "Auxiliary Air Pump To reduce pollutants contained in the exhaust gas during the warm-up phase and to achieve the emission limits of the roll test in the USA, USA vehicles have a secondary air system. For this reason, an electric air pump has been mounted on the left-hand side of the engine compartment. This pump is activated by the DME control unit and blows the additional air through air ducts to the discharge valve. A pneumatic switching valve which is closed when the secondary air system is inactive thus preventing the flow of additional air is installed between the air pump and the discharge valve. Functioning If the engine is started in a temperature range between minus 10.5° C and plus 45° C, the secondary air system is activated for a period of time dependent on the start temperature (min. 50 seconds, max. 179 seconds). The secondary air system is only activated if the following engine-related operating conditions apply: • Engine load (TL) between 0.7 ms/rev, and 4.7ms/rev. • Air mass (Ml) not greater than 300 kg/h • Engine speed between 680 rpm and 2,800 rpm • Altitude adaptation factor greater than 0.76 corresponding to less than 2,400 meters above sea level."
  2. The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect September 2007 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For November 2007 the price lists support - US: 217,049 parts Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006)
  3. Ah, so its only if i want to use high-beams??? Tell me what i can and cant do with and without the control box please, lay it all out for me. Pretty much what I already said. The control boxes rotate the low beam Xenons up to add light to the high beam Halogens. You get added light/distance with the high beams. The control boxes are not used for anything else that I am aware of.
  4. The control box is not for self leveling. Self leveling was only available from the factory. The control boxes you have allow the rotation of the low beam (Xenon) to combine with the high beam Halogen. Some folks don't install them since they rarely use the high beams.
  5. 1. How old is battery? If is is over 4 years then I strongly suggest that you consider replacing it. 2. Common causes for this sort of thing are the ignition switch (do a search here as this is covered in great detail) and a bad headlight switch. Once the battery is taken out as a possible cause I would look at the ignition switch.
  6. It is usually on a sticker under the front hood and stapled in your Owner's Maintennace Manual. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...mp;code=carrera
  7. Sorry, that is not a Porsche part number. A Porsche number would likely start with 955 or 999 (like the part number I gave you above - 955.620.841.00).
  8. He must not know how to isolate an electrical fault... You start by putting an amp meter is series and measure the draw (ignition off - no key). Then remove one fuse at a time and see which circuit affects the draw. Once you have found the circuit you then isolate which component is the problem.
  9. 19 mm I use a deep socket with black electrical tape wrapped around it so that it does not scratch.
  10. 2. Left front wheel liner 996.504.203.06. You will also likely want to buy a few spare plastic rivets since they sometime break in removal - 999.507.497.40 Plastic Rivet 1. Here is the parts list for the roof liner (for the convertible top). Perhaps you can tell what you need from it. my03_roofliner.pdf
  11. Please read some of the other posts here -- sometimes my code program does not work (or people give me the wrong serial number). In either case you need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges for the service - some dealers charge also.
  12. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=23363 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=15494
  13. Well, the parts list does not show it so I guess maybe they removed it (not needed) or... I'm stumped. ;)
  14. Lift the wire clasp on the top of the bleeder valve.
  15. Sorry, to be dense here but I don't see it in the picture.
