    They are not grills - they are molded into the bumper shell. GT3 Cup GT3RS (full race)

    Adjusting the pushrod length changes the position of the brake pedal. To do this, undo the lock nut and turn the pushrod accordingly at the hexagon (see arrow). The brake pushrod is correctly set if the dimension X is 45 + 5 mm. Perform measurement between the center of the brake pedal plate and the accelerator. You should also check adjustment of the brake light switch if brake pushrod is adjusted.

    Someone asked this question via a PM so I thought I would share the answer here... "When I floor the pedal, the Throttle Plate Angle says 80%... is it supposed to be 80%? Or am I missing 20%?" That reading is correct. Here is the Durametric Software reading (on my car) and the reading I took with my PST2. Also, here is the test from the OBD II manual: QUOTE

    If it is square looking then it sounds like the Litronics sensor (for when you are going uphill to adjust your headlights down). The ABS/PSM sensors are round and on the wheel hub carrier.

    Here is an update on the Durametric Software that I got today. They have added the Cayenne as a supported vehicle and once again increased it's diagnostic/reporting capabilities. I will try and setup a test session (locally) for anyone that wants to see it in action on their car -- if it ever stops raining here...

    I agree it almost looks like the DME cable is loose or partially un-plugged or got very wet.

    P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Rich Threshold P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold What this means is that the DME can not add enough fuel to mixture to make it meet burn and emissions standards. In short - you are running too lean. Potential causes for this are intake air leaks (such as loose or broken hose, a cracked /broken oil filler tube, or a bad oil separator) and/or a bad MAF. O2 sensors just read the results of a bad fuel/air mix - so I doubt you have a bad O2 sensor. This really has been covered here many many times. Perhaps try searching for "P1128" and "P1130" next time...

    Read the TSBs about top and window noises ;)

    Yup... you hit the bad word filter :lol:

    It is pretty much the same as a pre-face lift 996. See my 3rd Radiator install instructions here.

    Carefully lift the horseshoe and check underneath to see if any clips are missing or broken.
  15. Loren
    Felt tape like you used elsewhere. ;)

    I would have the electrolyte in your battery checked. Also, if you jiggle the ignition key does that make any difference?
  17. Loren
    How old is the battery?

    Pull the plastic covers off (items 7 (one each side) and 8) and then remove the bolts and hardware. Porsche makes a kit (for the GT3) called a rollbar kit that replaces the holes and the side locking pins with nice looking hardware. It has gotten to be a little pricey though. 000.044.801.63 Rollbar Kit -- MSRP $124.09 (as of March 2006).

    I suggest you go hang around the best Porsche tech you know and watch them replace an RMS and IMS (or two or three). Then, if you can, borrow the installation tools.

    The photo is an old photo of the early 3.4 liter small tube PSE. I have one of these on my 3.4 liter car. It does not sound or perform any different than the large tube version. The version you will be getting (000 044 200 21) looks like this one (pic from Carnewal.com)
  21. Loren
    Yeah, let us know if the newer unit works on the older cars. You may have to run a system test on the A/C first before coding - see the note at the start of that section in the manual.
  22. Loren
    I don't think so... I think you need a 996.653.101.03.EFR (at least according to PET). MY01 and older used H01 A/C and MY02 and newer use H02. Either way I think you will need a PST2 to code the new hardware. It needs to be coded...
  23. Loren
    What year is your car? 996.653.101.09.EFR is for MY02 and newer.

    P1691 - Check Engine Malfunction Indication light (MIL) - Open Circuit That fault says you have a open wire in the CEL circuit somewhere between the DME and instrument cluster. Has the cluster been out recently? Could be just a loose connector. P1123 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold I don't see what your dealer is talking about with timing. This fault means that the DME can not lean the mixture enough (you are running too rich) on one bank. If this occurred right after getting gas I would reseat the gas cap - clear the fault and see if it occurs again.
