    Yeah, if it's not a loose wire the dealer will likely replace the whole PCM1 head unit.
  2. Loren
    The openings in the C4S bumper are larger - so if you want to take advantage of that (for better cooling - and looks) you could use the C4S ducts. I think they will fit your radiators. The C4S actually uses different radiators and mounting brackets but several folks have just installed the C3S bumper and left everything else as is. If you want the complete parts list just PM me.

    Doh! I guess I should have posted that here to. TSB 20/03 9662 Replacing The Key Remote Control Battery (dated 06-25-04) describes how changing the battery "incorrectly" can cause the processor to lock up and stop functioning. If this happens it instructs you to:

    There is no diference between a C2 and C4 front bumper. C4S yes - C2 and C4 no.

    My mistake I thought you said under the driver seat. I believe that is the central informer (part of the instruments and senders circuit). See below:

    What is the car chassis that you want ducts for a Carrera or GT3? With or without the center radiator duct?
  8. Loren
    Yes, just the tips change should work for the mufflers. I don't think Porsche sells the electronics/vacuum kit by itself. I gave mine to a board member. Without the electronics/vacuum kit the PSE will be always open (loud). That is the way mine is. I don't find it too loud - I just don't drive through my neighborhood at 4000 RPM.
  9. Loren
    The fact that it is only happing on two cylinders (center cylinder on each side) would make me suspect coils or wires. It's not too hard hard to swap coils with another cylinder - at least that would tell you if it follows the coil. BTW... what are the fault codes? p.s. Thanks for your latest donation!
  10. Loren
    Yes, all the Carrera mufflers will interchange (in pairs). The tailpipe tips will not interchange because of the rear bumper redesign for MY02 (not will the C4S tips fit for the same reason). As long as you re-use the tips from your car you should be fine.

    I am still looking for a better solution for the reviews section - there are lots of applications out there but very few that are "tune-able". You can use a credit card to donate - that is, you don't need a PayPal account. Or, you can PM me and I will give you my address (privately) if you want to write a check. A few folks have done that. Did you know that you can click on the sub forum links to take you right to Cars for Sale or Parts for Sale? No extra clicks... And you can "monitor" any forum (or topic) by clicking on "Options" and subscribing to the forum or topic. When you "subscribe" the site will send you an email when new topics (or responses) are posted.

    Thanks to Tool Pants: "The model number has to be put in the DME with the PST2."
  15. Loren
    Yeah, I seem to remember Tool Pants saying that Peter had done it and the setting was different than the older cars - or something like that. I'll PM him and see if he remembers...

    999 591 930 40 Cable holder - Retail $0.23 each
  17. Loren
    Yes, same torque.
  18. Loren
    So for a mere $20,000 (aftermarket) or an $18,000 per year lease from Porsche you too can have a PIWIS tester.
  19. Loren
    Yes, the PST2 is a custom version of Windows 3.11 (Windows for Workgroups). I bought a used PST2 (Toshiba clone) from a shop that is converting to PIWIS (if I only had an extra $20,000 I would have a PIWIS too). The machine boots into the PST2 software and the only time you see a Windows 3.11 screen is during the printer setup. The OBD II cable connects to a Bosch custom (serialized) PCMCIA card in both the real PST2's and the clones. I guess they like the Toshiba laptops because there is a card lock that prevents the user from accidentally pulling out PCMCIA card out when the OBD II cable is pulled on.

    Item 6 (below)?
  21. Loren
    Front or rear? (or both?) A picture would help too...
  22. Loren
    According to my (very old 964 manual) that should be the DME. I would make sure that connections are not corroded and that the ground is clean also.
  23. Loren
    Back in late 2001 Porsche had some problems with TT's not starting due to fouled/wet spark plugs. At that time they raised the heat range on the spark plugs from 5 to 6. The higher hear range plugs should be in your car (Beru 14 FR 6 LDU).
  24. Loren
    It is not supposed to. The manual control works when the lights are. That is normal. That is the correct function. Take it to a shop that has a PST2 (like in my photos above) and have them check the sensor. I still think it is the sensor and I think the only fix is a new cluster. We are beating a dead horse here...
  25. Loren
    Probably not - no bulb no drain. About the only home remedy I can think of is pull one fuse at a time and try to find the circuit with the drain that way.
