    Well the battery needs to have a vent connection that can have a tube attached to it - and sorry I do not know about the Interstate battery. The Autozone Duralast that Tool Pants and I use comes with a battery side connector, tubing and an adapter so I would think other good battery makers would do the same. Se my post (and others) here.
  2. Loren
    Do you mean vent (for the battery gases)? or the water drains for the area around the battery?

    996.645.331.03 is the amp for M490. I believe that is the Harman amp sound package.
  4. Loren
    BOSE High End Sound package was an option (680) on the MY04 40th Anniversary car. It included a 100 watt amp and 11 speakers. Sorry, it does not sound like you have it unless it was installed after production. I think your amp part number would be 996.645.332.05 if you have the BOSE High End Sound package. Option 665 and 670 are PCM2 (navigation) with radio.

    Well, you need to find a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester and have read out your Parkassist fault code(s). These codes will tell you and tech exactly where the problem is. An independent shop will likely be the least cost.
  6. Loren
    You need to find someone to read the fault code(s). Where are you located? The loudspeaker emits the following signals: System readiness - 0.5 sec. continuous tone, 1200 Hz. Fault signal - Continuous tone whenever just switched on, 600 Hz. Obstacle detection - Signal tone with tone break. Tone break is distancedependent. Continuous tone from distance of 30 cm, 1200 Hz.

    The are ultra sound sensors and I don't think they require any cleaning. Are you having a problem? What are the symptoms?
  8. Loren
    Probably an 8 bit first version unit. The first PCM (rev 2) change didn't happen until February 2001 TT production (accroding to the TSB). See the pinned post here (PCM/PCM2 Software Revisions).

    Try MAShaw.com

    With the right driver I have seen them last more than 150,000 miles. But I have also seen clutches that were trashed in less than 60,000 miles. It really all depends on how the car was driven.
  11. Loren
    Shouldn't be more than 1 hour (IMHO). I can replace one in 15 minutes.
  12. Loren
    Have you checked fuse A5 (top row 5th fuse from the left) - should be 15A. I think there is also a connector in the engine compartment. Follow the wire(s) back from the lights and make the connector is clean and plugged in.
  13. Loren
    The Durametric tool is a great asset for OBD 2 and all fault code detection as well quite a bit of real time data. At this time the Durametic tool can not change any settings except to reset fault codes. I think they plan on adding some of these options but today you will need someone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester to change any MOST function setting as well reprogramming other options.
  14. Loren
    You might have to have a shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) turn off the amp and radio. This would signify there is no radio or amp on the MOST bus and the new units should work fine.
  15. Loren
    Use the tool provided in your car's tool kit. The process is covered in your owners manual.

    Don't pay for the parts list - you can download it free from Porsche. Go the "Links" link at the top of any page - then choose Porsche Documentation. Click on Downloadable Parts Lists for all Porsche models and you will be taken to the Porsche technical website. On their website choose USA - then Workshop Information - then Genuine Parts. Download the PDF file for the model(s) of your choice.

    IMHO - PCA is the yearly membership fee just for the monthly magazine (Panorama). We work with our local regions (their are 4 just in the general bay area here). We help with some tech sessions, parade laps, fun drives, etc. and we do our local "Work on cars days".
  18. Loren
    If it is on "Auto" it will run most of the time. Still the problem could be a sensor....
  19. Loren
    Try the emergency release in the door frame (above the top hinge - way back in there).

    Yes. it could be a bad heater control valve but I think it could also be a bad sensor (thinking it is already hot enough). With these testers you can actually test each (independent) part of the system for proper function. Try your local PCA for a list of local independent shops.
  23. Loren
    There are many other tests you can do with a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS tester. For example: actual values readouts to test flap operation sensors, switches, etc., etc. Try to find an independent shop that has one of these testers - it will make short work of diagnosing your problem.
  24. Loren
    Yes, it will just show faults (at this time). It will not show any actuals or run any tests. 180-190 is normal. It is advisable to clean the leaves and other debris from inside the front bumper openings at least once a year. The front bumper comes off pretty easy (see my 3rd radiator DIY in the 996 DIY mods section). With the front bumper off you can really clean both the AC condensers and the engine radiators.
