    If it looks like the one in this post then it is the phone prep connector.
  2. Loren
    Well, it could be the control module... sorry, but without the codes it could be anything. Make sure they don't charge you if the control module does not fix it.
  3. Loren
    Perhaps they under filled it at the dealership. If the (alternator) regulator is not turning off when the battery is charged then it will try to overcharge the battery and that can cause overflow (through the vent tube). Any other leaks should be very visible. I would have the battery tested at an Autozone (or the like).

    Lots of little stuff to remove but it is "bolt-on".

    Pinched wires? Shorted controller? Without the codes we are shooting in the dark... Your shop/dealer should be able to use a PST2 (or PIWIS) to assess the fault exactly. To do this the fault memory Info key (F8) must be pressed. This information should be saved using the Save key (F4) and printed out. If a fault code is stored with "not present" status and no other problems are present, then the fault memory must be erased. This printout should give you additional information such as: Type of fault / occurrence of fault - Open circuit / short circuit to -- There is (present) or was (not present) a short circuit to ground or an open circuit in the circuit to the control module pin. - Short circuit to B+ -- There is (present) or was (not present) a short circuit to voltage. - Below limit value -- Resistance too low; Wiring leak e,g. short circuit to ground, faulty component - Above limit value -- Resistance too high e.g. open circuit, component faulty - Start -- Shows the time elasped since the fault first occured (present). If the fault arises again the clock continues. - Stop -- Shows the time elasped since the fault was first remedied (not present). If the fault arises again the clock continues.

    It should fit near the chassis bodywork so unless that has changed it should just follow the chassis (as I recall).
  7. Loren
    I count 14 possible fault codes for side airbags alone - not including chained events. It almost has to be disconnected or shorted sensors in the doors - and the codes should verify that. And if the codes are for both sides then it really must be something the shop did.
  8. Loren
    Make sure you have the correct hoses for each side. When you do they just fit very well.
  9. Loren
    Airbag fault code numbers?
  10. Loren
    Have you checked the fluid level?
  11. Loren
    That is because this thread is about GT3 -- not a Carrera. ;)
  12. Loren
    All the OBD II P-Codes are here. P0420 TWC conversion, bank 1 - above limit Possible fault cause - Oxygen sensor ahead of and after TWC exchanged - Valve lift fault - Aged oxygen sensor after TWC - TWC faulty
  13. Loren
    Where are you located? After replacing an O2 sensor you need a certain number of drive cycles for all of the "pending" codes to be cleared. In most states (like California) the smog/emissions tests require no pending codes (That's how they know that you didn't just clear the code for the test - and it will come back later). Most daily driven cars should clear any pending codes in 3 to 5 days of normal driving.

    Not if the problem(s) corrects itself within the DME program/emmisions specified time period.

    The Baum tool with the Porsche option(s) is about $4000. The Durametric Software is under $250 and will reset all controllers except the alarm.
  16. Loren
    I believe the small o-ring keeps the dirty oil from returning (leaking back) into the oil system without going through the filter.
  17. Loren
    The Durametric tool can only reset codes and read out actual values at this time. The dealer can get your key code and imobilzer code from Porsche through their secure network.
  18. Loren
    Yes, those are both Porsche system testers. They can transfer coding from your old control box to the new one as long as the old control box still responds to the tester. I doubt your key will start the car if you replace the control box first - besides then they could'nt read the old control box codes first. A few independent shops have a PST2 and fewer yet have a PIWIS.

    P0102 Mass Air Flow Sensor – Below Limit P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 – Above Limit P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: P102 – Open circuit – Short circuit to ground – Mass air flow sensor P1128 & P1130 – 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

    996.618.260.05 has been replaced by 996.6182.60.07. The MSRP for this part is $338.52 (as of May 2006) so someone like Sunset imports may be able to beat that $305 price. A PST2 or PIWIS will be required to transfer the key and imobilizer codes from your old unit to your new one.

    Model? Year? Miles/Km?

    P1502 Throttle Jacking Unit, Spring Test – Above Limit Throttle return time too long. Is your throttle butterfly gummed up with carbon?
  23. Loren
    The bumperettes on MY02 and newer are held on by tabs on the backside of the bumper cover. The service manual says to remove them from the backside using a screwdriver. I wonder if someone hit your bumperette and broke some of the tabs off?
  24. Loren
    CDC-23 (and newer) radios do not have radio codes per se. They are coded to the car in the DME and self identify when they are re-attached. If you were to swap radios you would need to re-code your DME for the new radio.
  25. Loren
    I feel dumb for missing this the first time... :oops: The good news is that it works now... :thumbup:
