    Yes, but it could be intermittent. To my knowledge - yes. We have seen that same error fault on many cars that work fine.

    You will need to ask the Durametric folks. I have a PST2 and it will reset any code(s) in any model Porsche. Of course it cost more than ten times what the Durametic Software did. ;)

    This says that the alarm controller is not getting a signal from your key fob transponder. Try another key or you could have a bad key fob (transponder). Fairly common - likely nothing to worry about. The motion sensor detected something moving (once). This is not enough to trigger an alarm.

    This just means that the battery was disconnected recently. I think it is just there to warn that perhaps someone was trying to defeat the alarm (except in this case it was likely you or someone else trying to clear codes). The ABS light simply means that a problem or fault has been detected in the ABS system. It may or may not be working. Did you use the Durametric Software to check for ABS codes? If the contact cleaner fix does not work then you will need new belt buckles as described in the TSB.

    As it says on the donation page You have now been upgraded - elaspsed time -- 48 minutes. You should have full access now.

    For MY99

    The front sensor (item 18). There should be a small strut (item 20) and everything is held on with screws, bolts and nuts. I would look to see what is missing or broken/bent. The rear is very similar. Sensor (item 21) strut (item 20). etc.

    In the service manual it looks like there are small hooks that point downward to hold the map pocket in place. It would appear that sliding the pocket upward would disconnect the hooks from the holes in the seat back. Seat map pocket item 6.

    Yes, the OEM radio ties into the OEM alarm system. An aftermarket system can be tied in or it can be left out of the OEM alarm system. As I said it sounds like you need a quick scan of the alarm controllers fault codes to detect what the problem is. That same test program can verify that your key fob is working or not working. Where are you located? Some independent shops (and a few private owners - like me) have a PST2 (or PIWIS tester).
  11. Loren
    What happened to the factory alarm? Have a shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) read out your alarm fault codes, diagnose and fix the factory alarm.
  12. Loren
    Buy a Porsche Battery Maintainer from Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost.

    70 AH battery for a Boxster and 80 AH for a Boxster S. Have a look here.

    O2 sensors can go bad after 60K. Like I said could be a bad connection or a bad sensor. To find out: Check resistance of oxygen sensor heating. 1. Remove connector of oxygen sensor 1 ahead of TWC. 2. Connect ohmmeter to pin 1 and pin 2 of the oxygen sensor connector towards the oxygen sensor. Display: < 2.6 Ω at 25 °C Measure resistance between oxygen sensor housing and oxygen sensor heating. 1. Remove connector of oxygen sensor 1 ahead of TWC. 2. Connect ohmmeter to pin 1 of oxygen sensor housing and oxygen sensor connector towards the oxygen sensor. Display: ∞=Ω 3. Connect ohmmeter to pin 2 of oxygen sensor housing and oxygen sensor connector towards the oxygen sensor. Display: ∞=Ω
  15. Loren
    Could be a bad connection or a bad O2 sensor heater (not uncommon). How many miles on the car/O2 sensors?
  16. Loren
    Cayman and Cayman S

    P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Above Limit Potential causes: Heating current too high – Heating resistance too low – Short to B+ Heating current too low – Short to ground – Corrosion in connector – Break in wiring except for a few litz wires Open circuit – Break in wiring – Heating resistance too great Internal resistance of oxygen sensor too high – Open circuit in sensor line – Oxygen sensor

    We have added in the option code lookup tables for the MY2007 GT3 (997) and the MY2007 TT (997). You can lookup option codes on all models from the drop-down menu (Online Docs Menu).

    955.044.000.72 replaced 955.044.000.22. This is just the RTS system if you want a bike carrier or surfboard carrier or roof box you have to buy those too. The RTS replaces the roof rails. The two RTS cross rails seems to be all that the parts list shows.
  20. Loren
    I would replace the Idle Control Valve.
  21. Loren
    That is the DSP. It may or may not come with the cables - check with Jeff at Sunset Imports.
  22. Loren
    What scanner did they use? VAG? or Bosch?
  23. Loren
    996.645.312.00 DSP for MY99-00 I think the harness came with the original parts. A number of folks have removed these to put 3rd party units so you might find a used one.
  24. Loren
    The Porsche Carrera service manual says: The coolant system is a closed system - so if the your friends coolant was dirty then something got into it and contaminated it.
  25. Loren
    Did you move the air pump out of the way? and the two fuel lines? Then move the tank towards the engine?
