    :oops: ... my mistake I was thinking this was a different post

    The only way to tell for sure is to get the alarm fault code(s). You can do that with a PST2, PIWIS tester or the Durametric Software. A PST2 will allow you to test each individual component of the alarm/central locking system.

    I've read throught he complete sunroof removal and installation section in the service manual and there is no mention of any glued pointed. There is however some information in the roof liner replacement section.

    If you can find a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester the ambient light sensor is prety easy to check. Just cover the sensor for one reading and then shine a flashlight on it for another reading. It should change somewhat like below: Dark reading on left - Bright reading on right.

    Do you have a credit card? If so, there is an option on the PayPal page to pay with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or discover credit cards.
  14. Loren
    Hmm... I guess it could be a bad cluster. Still under warranty?
  15. Loren
    If you wiggle the light switch does anything change? Headlight switches have gone bad on a few cars.

    I think he is talking about the one up front next to the condenser. But is is not listed separately in PET either.
  17. Loren
    Yes - same for 986, Air Conditioning -> Modify Coding (like it says at the top of the screenshot).
  18. Loren
    Highlight Temperature unit hit >> (coding key) and change.

    Loren, I want to get my dealer to do the switch from Fahrenhuit to Celsius on the AC/Heater control. Can you please provide instruction for the PST2 process. He didn't know how to do it. I have an 03 Boxster S. Thx Have you tried this? Press and hold the recirculation button. Then press the temperature up ("+") button to switch between degrees Celsius & Fahrenheit on the Climate Control Temperature and Instrument Panel Outside Temperature displays.
  20. Loren
    Coils for sure. A bad cat could ruin the O2 sensor. The DME can not compensate for all those errors.
  21. Loren
    These alone would cause misfires and fault codes.
  22. Loren
    The Durametric software can not change mileage in the DME or cluster. Even a dealer/shop PST2 or PIWIS tester can not change mileage on a cluster that has more than 52 miles on it. I am sure there are people out there that can still alter mileage - legally or not.

    I have seen the wire come out of the connector mount for the headlights in at least a couple cases. After you take the headlight out inspect the connector and pins on the socket (still on the car) to see that they are secure and pushed in all the way.
  24. Loren
    Thanks for that.. I had the O/S cam cover mended last Nov at the dealer so perhaps they did a bad job...I will take it back. If they replaced/resealed the camcover and didn't check the oil tubes shame on them. There are new o-rings for the early MY99 Carrera's that have almost eliminated all oil tube leaks.
