    No, never tried. But I likely will on the next DME 7.8 I see that is chipped.
  2. Loren
    Is there a specific area or question? The engine schematics are on two very large pages. Of course you can always buy the schematics for your model year at the Porsche Tech website for about $110 US. Porsche Technical Service Information

    From the TSB... To me this would only affect cars with DME 7.8 and newer (MY02 and newer). And... it would appear that Porsche (through IPAS) keeps a checksum code of the original DME program and any "authorized" DME upgrades.

    They are both from disconnecting your MAF. P0102 is an open in the MAF circuit and P0112 is the MAF temperature sensor. You MAF air flow looks a little low - it should be 12 to 24 kg/h (or 3.3 to 6.6 g/s). Are you sure you don't have an air leak on bank 2?
  5. Loren
    Do your seats have lumber support? That is the only spring I can think of that is that long. Unless... it is the cable for the backrest release?
  6. Loren
    I think it is near the ABS block in the front trunk - drivers side under the black plastic cover (brake fluid / washer fluid cover).
  7. Loren
    Perhaps if you had a picture or drawing of what they look like there might be more interest.
  8. Loren
    No - just remove the key from the ignition. Just remove the relay and work on the relay out of the car. Then plug it back in.

    Item 8 - intermediate piece

    986.114.012.05 Dual mass flywheel -- $1175.41 CDN (as of September 2006)

    We have had a number of requests to have a forum category area for discussion of diagnostic tools and tips. We have created a new forum (under Other) called Diagnostics, Tips and Tools. This forum is for discussion of tools like the PST2, PIWIS and Durametric software as well as other diagnostic and scan tools. As we have a number of members that are independent shop owners and techs we have an excellent source for both questions and answers. To be competitive with dealership shops many of these independent tuning and repair shops have these special diagnostic tools and are very proficient at there use. Please keep your question in this forum specific to the diagnostics tools, tips and tricks - model specific questions should still be posted in the appropriate model area. Thanks and enjoy! :thumbup:

    If it is the Aerokit Cup spoiler lip (MY01 and older) it does not use any tape.
  13. Loren
    Double sided tape (that is the spec number). I don't see the tape in the parts list it says it comes with the spoiler lip (MY02 and newer).
  14. Loren
    For MY01 and older use: Item 4 -- 999.507.427.40 expansion rivet (11 needed) For MY02 and newer use: Item 20 -- 999.507.497.40 expansion rivet (21 needed) and PTL4037 - PUR - GF15 - SW adhesive tape.

    Front set: 996.351.949.12 Rear set: 996.352.949.03
  16. Loren
    MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) is the same as CEL (Check Engine Light). MIL is the term OBD II and Porsche use.
  17. Loren
    Yes and no. There is only one fuel filter and it is under the car (as shown above) on C2 and Boxsters. On C4 and MY02 and later cars (including C4S) it mounts next to the coolant tank.
  18. Loren
    Yes, the rear engine cover has not changed. Only the widebody (C4S, TT, GT2) won't fit.
  19. Loren
    Model and year? Steel or PCCB?
  20. Loren
    I doubt it - they just fail after a number of years of use. They fail on 996 coupes too.
  21. Loren
    No, the clutch is hydraulic - so no adjustment. There were some bad release bearing lever arms but those were before MY03.
  22. Loren
    It will likely need to be re-calibrated too with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester).
  23. Loren
    Yes, with the adapters from Carnewal.com... (about 95 Euro) "Unlike the freely adjustable rear spoiler of the first generation GT3, the rear spoiler of the new GT3 cannot be adjusted. For racing, clubsport or DE, the only way to change the angle of incidence of the upper wing is by using adaptors that put the wing on 4° or 8°. The set contains 2 pairs of adaptors : Two adaptors 4° Two adaptors 8°"
  24. Loren
    Maybe it's time to send a letter to Porsche Cars Great Britain and tell them warranty service has been refused?
  25. Loren
    Yes. As long as they don't change other programming (i.e. OBC, cruise, country codes, etc.) you should not have a problem. BTW... Porsche will be able to tell the DME has been tampered with - so they could use that against you in any (related) warranty issues.
