    Since you do not have the rain sensor option I would look first at the intermittent wiper relay (since the pump signal goes through the same relay). it could be a bad stalk switch - that would be unusual (and difficult to change).

    X97 an X98 are special order items likely deviating stitching. 09991 means manufacture from the exclusive-programme which simply means where Exclusive Program special orders. I have no idea what 10001 is. Only MY99 Carrera's had LSD as an option - after MY99 PSM took the place of Traction Control and LSD. So a MY03 does not have a traditional LSD it has PSM.

    I really don't think a PSE is any noisier than a stock car under 3500 RPM. I doubt you drive through your neighborhood at 4000 plus RPM.

    Porsche recommends Ride height and Alignment be adjusted with the empty weight, i.e. full fuel tank, vehicle with spare wheel/collapsible wheel and tools, but without driver and without additional weights. Most folks I know (including me) that drive on the track have the car aligned/balanced with the drivers weight in the drivers seat.

    Have a look at TSB 8/03 9110 Diagnosing And Repairing The PCM2 System (dated 10-20-2004).

    Only with a PST2 or PIWIS tester (that I know of). According to the service manual: "The steering angle sensor must be calibrated after: - A new steering angle sensor has been installed. - The PSM control device has been exchanged. - The steering gear and / or components which change the zero position of the steering angle sensor have been exchanged. - Accident repairs - Suspension alignment procedures during which the previous wheel alignment values were changed." "The steering angle sensor actual value must be checked: - After a suspension alignment which resulted in no changes being made to the wheel alignment values. - As a check after steering angle sensor calibration."

    Loren, My reverse lights work fine but my mirror does not swivel down. Looking at my manual, it says the dealer can activate this feature if I have memory seats, which I do. This goes for the automatic locking options when the car is moving. Can I do this, rather than take it to the dealer? If so, any idea how? Both functions require a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester to activate. If you know a shop or racer that has one they can do it for you - otherwise you will need to go to a dealer.

    Use two screwdrivers to lever out the left and the right detent, then remove the ac control. Then press in detent of electrical plugs and pull the plugs up and off then the whole ac control will pull out.

    Yes. M220 LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL 40 % M222 TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM M224 AUTOMATIC LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL M095 SPECIAL MODEL '40 YEARS 911' was only for MY04 and was a "sportier" version of the C4S suspension.

    I don't think RoW cars get the phone prep as standard (US/Canada cars do). Telephone mute should be a yellow/black wire coming off the radio (CDR-23) - plug A (black connector). You should be able to take switched power from fuse E8 - or a green/black wire from there. Fuse E8 is the 5th row from the top 8th fuse from the left.

    Transfer them from your old seats.

    I think your friend is thinking of DaimlerChrysler's Multiple Displacement System (MDS) V8. The specs for a V6 Cayenne state: City 16 MPG Highway 20 MPG So depending on your driving style that seems about right.
  16. Loren
    You don't need to remove the drive shaft - but you do need to remove the axle nut on the wheel hub. The wheel hub will need to slide out and away from the car to clear the strut/spring assembly (after removing the track rod and control arm from the wheel carrier). Don't forget on any car with PSM that the steering angle sensor needs to be re-calibrated after any suspension change/alignment.

    If it is not too tight then you might get it off with one hand (as in photo 1). If it is on tight then grab the other way (photo 2) and then pull with the other hand while squeezing.

    Have a look at the DIY here.

    I really apprecaite it! :D My dealer installed my PSE on my 2006 997 3.6 so it functions the way it used to on the 996: I have it so it's closed normally, when I want to hear the car purr I press the button and it opens up. I like that a lot better than the goofy open or closed at various rpm ranges or speeds. There is an extra relay or something that they had to put in, I can take a picture of the extra relay if you guys want. how can i see the tsm. i can only see the headlines. there is nothing to click although i made a donation to renntech From the Donation page: "Many times you will be upgraded within a few minutes but it could take up to 24 hours." I upgraded you within 20 minutes of your donation ...it is Christmas day here.

    Replacing Reverse Lights/Back-Up Lights Switch thanks to member dphil66 :clapping:
  21. Loren
    Have someone else check to see if your reverse lights are coming on when reverse is selected. If the reverse signal is not triggering then the tilt function will not activate either.
  22. Loren
    Well, there is some history in the DME. You will need to find a shop or dealer with a PIWIS tester though. They can tell you stage 1 over revs (controlled by the engine rev limiter) and stage 2 over revs (not controlled and considered harmful to the engine).
  23. Loren
    If the wipers work then the fuse is fine. Does the intermittent control work on your wipers? Does your car have a rain sensor? Both require relays to work.
