    There is an announcment pinned at the top of every forum. How to become a Contributing Member

    The dealer that did the work might cover it but a different dealer has no obligation (other than hoping for more of your business) to fix it.

    Still dreaming? :lol:

    If the oil is from a spark plug "socket" then it is likely an oil seal for one of the tubes. Your dealer should have checked those when he changed the plugs - especially since some of the very early MY99 cars had bad o-rings that needed to be replaced. The dealer should warranty any work that they did - but since they repair any "oil leaks" then I'm not sure they would cover that. Maybe as a courtesy since it would appear they missed it. If you had an RMS (or Intermediate Shaft Seal ) leak then the leak would drip from the center of the car - right between the engine and transmission.

    If your car is a MY2000 Boxster then it has e-gas and then it must be a DME 7.2. That section of the Porsche DME 7.2 OBD II manual was updated in supplement 3 sometime in 1999. My guess is that Bentley got the information from an older manual. I would clean the MAF (do a search here as this has been covered many times) -- then reset the CEL.

    04' GT3 Brakes,

    Loren replied to violaGT3's topic in 996 GT3

    Define 04 TT "BigReds" -- the stock TT brakes are "big" and "red". The MY04 GT3 (steel) rotor sizes are: Front: 350 mm Rear: 330 mm The MY04 TT (steel) rotor sizes are: Front: 330 mm Rear: 330 mm

    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 – Above Limit What does that mean: It does NOT mean you have a bad O2 sensor. The O2 sensors report the fault - they are not the fault in this case. The fuel/air mixture is so lean that sensing has reached its rich threshold. That is, the DME thinks the mixture is too lean so it has richened the mixture to the point it can not make it any richer. Chances are the MAF is giving a faulty signal to the DME. Potential causes (from the Porsche DME 7.2 OBD II manual): – Incorrect signal from MAF sensor – Intake air system leaking – Fuel pressure too low – Volume supply of fuel pump too low – Fuel injectors fouled – Exhaust system leaking If that is the only fault you have I would start by cleaning the MAF or replacing it.

    A Bosch what? KTS500 or KTS650? Could be the cluster has been replaced/upgraded and was not reset to the previous cluster or DME miles.

    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect January 2007 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For January 2007 the price lists support - US: 209,758 parts Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006)

    999.507.497.40 MSRP $0.31 each -- there are 13 per car. You will only need replacements for the ones you break ;)
  12. Loren
    Just replace the bad one. The others will tell you when they die too.

    P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit Your pre-cat O2 sensor is heated at startup so it can immediately start reading emissions and adjust have the DME adjust the mixture. Your fault indicates that this pre-heating is failing to happen. Either their is a poor connection at that heater element, the heater circuit is open, the heater circuit is shorted. If you have an ohm meter you can check the sensor by: 1. Removing connector of 02 sensor ahead of catalytic converter. 2. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pins 1 and 2. Display: 1.8 - 2.5 ohms at 20°C. 3. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pin 1 and 02 housing. Display: infinite ohms If the ohm readings are correct then look for bad or broken connectors on the sensor electrical connector. If the ohm readings are bad and if your car has over 50-60,000 miles then the heater is likely bad and the sensor will need to be replaced.

    :lol: The $75 is for them to stamp the "N" designation on the tire. I use Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Positions and I like them a lot. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position is the new replacement for the S-03's. From what I have heard they are even better. I personally would go with the RE050A.

    The alarm control and central locking is in the control box under the left hand seat. If that box gets wet (and it sounds like it did) - then many things could be shorted out. Bad design for a convertible IMHO.

    We would need model year, coupe or cab or Targa, 6-speed or Tip -- and the color code (stripes) from your springs (front and rear).

    :welcome: MY02 added/changed the following: Glove box added New style cup holders Seat belt tensioners with belt-force limiters Seat and mirror memory via remote control New sound and radio package (BOSE) A (slightly newer) PCM1 Navigation system All engine, transmission, suspension and brakes are the same from MY01 to MY02.
  18. Loren
    So they are all put together backwards?
  19. Loren
    It will depend on the exact PCM unit in your car (by PCM part number). But I believe all are supposed to be at "Model Level B". Ask your dealer to check: TSB 27/04 W522 W522 – Updating The PCM2 Operating System and Replacing The 3 - CD ROM Street Map Navigation CDs (Workshop Service Action) and TSB 8/05 9112 PCM2.1 and Navigation Unit: System Connection Software Release, "Model Level B" and TSB 9/05 9110 PCM2.1 Navigation Update.

    The firmware has been updated to the latest version by a Porsche dealer?
  21. Loren
    Email it to Scouser (his email is at the bottom of the decoder). If anybody can read it he can...
  22. Loren
    is that data displayed if you simply plug in the carrera cluster or is there more to it than that? You would need to add an oil pressure sender to the engine and run the wire to the cluster.
  23. Loren
    Try putting your VIN into Scouser's VIN Decoder here.
  24. Loren
    Those controllers are the same from left side to right side so you should be able to swap them to see which is bad. I would try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - they are usually have the best prices (IMHO).
  25. Loren
    You mean P0156? right? If so there is really not much to do. Check the electrical connections to the sensor - clear the code and see if it comes back. If so, then replace that sensor.
