    You could have a bad control module - since that is a code it gave you. Where are you located - perhaps we can get further verification?
  2. Loren
    I am not sure - I think it might.
  3. Loren
    I would start by checking the coil packs on the misfiring cylinders. If the CEL is flashing (and I think it is) you should not be driving it or the cats will be damaged.

    Model and Year of your car? US/Canada car or RoW?

    Should be the same or very very close.

    It is the same as described here. (Please try and use Search next time...)

    I do not think it includes the storage box. Send an email to JeffClark@sunsetimports.com - I am sure he can help you out.

    Please read this whole thread - "Wait" is covered as well as "what if my code does not work...". Sunset Porsche (link at the top of the page - Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) sell Porsche parts at dealer cost plus 15%. I doubt you can find original parts cheaper anywhere else.

    Why not replace your pads and rotors yourself? We are going to have another Work on Cars Day soon - and we will have folks there to help you. You can sign up here (just start a new post). For your radio try 3008 or 3006

    Fill it up and put in a can of gas dryer (like HEET). If you don't keep it full you will get condensation in the tank (i.e. water). The charger is a good idea but I would start it and bring it up to operating temperature as often as possible - if not weekly then every other week. You might consider car cradles or move the car every week or two keep from flat spotting the tires. I assume that your car will be in the garage and covered under your homeowners insurance. If this is the first time you have done this you should let your (homeowners) insurance agent know. That is what I can think of. I'm sure others will add some tips too...

    Looks to me like your pads/rotors are glazed. It also looks like some of the pad material got so hot it created patches of buildup as it broke loose. I think you need new pads and rotors. You might also consider some track pads and change them before and after each event. Here is a good article on what happened... http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml#

    Your dealer did half the job - they did not follow the TSB. The TSB states to replace BOTH sets of buckles and re-make the grounds. They ought to fix it for free under warranty IMHO.
  16. Loren
    Many times it is a poor connection at the seat belt buckle. Some folks have had luck cleaning the connections with electrical contact cleaner - but Porsche issued a TSB on this that changes the buckles and re- makes the ground connections. Either way you will need either the Durametric Software, or PST2, or PIWIS to turn off the airbag light. Those tools will also tell you want component triggered the airbag light in the first place.
  17. Loren
    If you can get a code reader (or access to one) then it will tell which cylinders have the problem. If it is all of them then it could be plugs. More likely is that one or more of the spark plug coils is not properly connected or the insulator is cracked.

    P0102 Mass Air Flow Sensor - Below Lower Limit Possible causes: - Open circuit - Short circuit to ground You either have a bad MAF or wiring harness.

    There were a number of Kessy problems - are you sure that your car has the latest updates?
  21. Loren
    Without putting the a Porsche tester (computer) on it - it will be hard to tell.
  22. Loren
    I think you need to do a leak down test to see what is going on with the smoke and oil usage. My guess is that the valve guides are worn and that the car needs a top-end rebuild.
  23. Loren
    So, does your car have a radio or Porsche NAV?
  24. Loren
    Narrow body cars would need spacers to use the 40 mm offset wheels. The rear offset should be 65 mm. The fronts are the same.
  25. Loren
    You will not find a VIN on your engine but it is several places on the chassis. The VIN should be able to be read through the front windshield at the right front of the car. It is also on the driver door jamb sticker (along with the cars actual build date). The number on the left rear of your engine is the engine serial number (near the left rear wheel side).
