    If P1128 or P1110 (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. That is, the DME can not adjust for the lean condition by adding more fuel (richening). Usually caused by air leaks ahead of the O2 sensors. Porsche does not use P0172 or P0175 are OBD II codes for "too rich" a mixture.

    Sure, it just depends on whether you like to lie down to work. Jack stands (or ramps) just seem like a comfortable work height (while sitting down).

    Thanks for the input .There might be a slightly rougher idle...very imperceptible but the engine appears to run fine at higher rpms.the smoke is somewhat bluish and strong smelling but not really an oil smell.Of course running mobil 0. by the way the actual codes are p0172 and p0175 which seem to be fault codes 360 and 361 respectively ,indicating idle range banks 1 and 2 below limit. I believe you are mistaken... From the DME service manual: P1128 (DTC 360) Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 - Below Limit Possible fault causes: - Incorrect signal from MAF sensor - Intake air system leaking - Fuel pressure too low - Volume supply of fuel pump too low - Fuel injectors fouled - PCV valve leaks - Cap of oil filler neck not closed correctly or seal is damaged P1130 (DTC 361) Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 - Below Limit Possible fault causes: - Incorrect signal from MAF sensor - Fuel pressure too high - Fuel injector leaking - EVAP canister purge valve open

    P1128 and P1130 can be caused by a bad MAF or even a bad oil separator. Does the car run ok up to fairly high RPMs? - if not, it is likely the MAF.
  5. Loren
    Probably not if it is a MY02 or newer. They extended the service interval.

    another radio code request for 02 996 CR 220 type 4362 ser # 25007542 24/99 thanks much Try 1428 or 1430

    The GT2 lip might fit but it is for a wide body car - so I am sure it would need to be bent and likely cut. If you want more of an air dam then you should go with a cup car bumper or GT3RS front air dam.

    No sequence is specified but I would tighten them diagonally. 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.)

    The logging parameters are slightly different for DME 5.2.2, DME 7.2, DME 7.1.1, and DME 7.8. Then added many new logging features in the DME 7.8.x used in the 987 and 997 series cars. I have never seen these well written up by Porsche or Bosch.
  10. Loren
    If it is clear - then it is likely water from the AC. If it greenish/yellow and smells sweet then it is coolant.
  11. Loren
    If the cap is leaking there is usually condensation and leakage traces at the lip of the tank (where the cap fastens down).
  12. Loren
    Yes, it comes out hard - with a snap. This has been covered here many many times - please do a search.
  13. Loren
    Has anyone check the tank cap?
  14. Loren
    Does the window act correctly when you lift the door handle? If so, then your problem is likely the window regulator.
  15. Loren
    We believe those are ignitions (during overrev) - so theoretically one complete revolution would give you 6 stage 2 overrevs. At least that is what we have been told. Like it or not dealers do not like to see many (if any) stage 2 overrevs - it usually mans the car has been abused.

    Anti-roll bar mating bearing to spring strut (M52 x 1.5) (lock nut) - 911 GT3 -- 50 Nm (37 ftlbs). Anti-roll bar to side member M10x1.5 -- 65 Nm (48 ftlbs). Anti-roll-bar mount to anti-roll bar M10 - 911 GT3 /911 GT3 RS -- 55 Nm (41 ftlbs)* Anti-roll bar mount to spring strut M10- 911 Carrera 4/911 GT3 -- 46 Nm (34 ftlbs) Anti-roll bar mount to wheel carrier M10- 911 GT3 RS -- 50 Nm (37 ftlbs) ** * 3-stage tightening procedure. First Tighten to 50 Nm (37 fllb.). Then loosen by 90° and then tighten to 55 Nm (41 ftlb.). ** Coat threads with Loctite 243 before fitting. Tighten all threaded connections immediately.

    You can just use a rag folded over 4 times or so. Pushing them back in is not that hard. In Greg's picture above he is using the pliers inside so that when he opens the pliers it pushes both pistons back.
  18. Loren
    Yes, it has been posted before - please do a search.

    It should only take a few minutes at the dealer. Even if they run a MOST system test it should be under 1 hour.
  20. Loren
    I wouldn't worry about unless it does not go away.
  21. Loren
    You likely need this: Replacing the Ignition Switch
  22. Loren
    I have never seen a US 996 Carrera that couldn't have your OBC turned on. I have done it many many times. You should look for a new dealer or an independent shop that has a PST2 or PIWIS tester - this in not even a 5 minute job.
  23. Loren
    1. No, it is not normal. If the horn chirps then you have an open alarm zone (like the center console lid, etc.). 2. It depends, if your old switch was very worn then the new will feel tighter. You should go try a new car at the dealership. 3. Not if you just changed the electrical switch and not the lock.
  24. Loren
    By "after the car warms-up" do you mean 2 minutes or 15 minutes? If it disappears after 2 minutes then that is normal. If it takes much longer it is likely a stuck lifter.
  25. Loren
    Whenever a MOST device is changed (even part for part) the MOST controllers have to be re-coded to match the new hardware.
