    :welcome: and Thanks!
  2. Loren
    I can't remember if Durametric shows the number fault occurrences (I know PST2 and PIWIS do) but you might jot down the number occurrences and see if they continue to happen.
  3. Loren
    PM sent. Not for the faint of heart - you need special tools and adhesives to do this job right.
  4. Loren
    22.5 liters or 4.88 gallons. Mix should be 50-50 coolant and water and vacuum filled.
  5. Loren
    Try without the spacers. Porsche only approves up to 5 mm spacers on the front.
  6. Loren
    What is the tire size(s)? What is the wheel width(s)? What is the offset(s)?
  7. Loren
    Several alarm codes mean little or nothing. The first one if you disconnect the battery - sometimes it occurs. The second one seems to happen on Boxster's more than Carrera's - sometimes is a bad sensor and sometimes just a false code. The last one is usually caused by pressing the lock on the key fob before the door is closed. Again no harm. I usually just erase these and then see if they come back in 24 hours.

    Try 8203 or 8201 If you have not already read this please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  9. Loren
    Oh... your car is a 2000 so there is no motor - it's all mechanical cable pull. There is a short emergency cable and the longer manual cable that attaches to latch.
  10. Loren
    Yes, the latch side.
  11. Loren
    Have them check the upper strut mounts for wear or for being loose. Under the car have them check the torque on the front swaybar - these loosen with time too.
  12. Loren
    Some options (Logbook, etc.) on 9x7 series cars can only be turned on after obtaining an activation code from Porsche AG. Only dealers/OPCs can do this.
  13. Loren
    You might be able to get a dealer to give you a copy of that one. Most of the TSBs are worldwide - with the exception being when specific VINs are called out.
  14. Loren
    Must be pretty straight forward as they don't cover it in the service manual.
  15. Loren
    Um... PSM and PCM are not connected PCM is connected on the MOST fiber optic audio systems bus and PSM is on the CAN (wired) engine and control systems bus. Best have someone with a PIWIS tester have a look at what is going on. If the car never had PCM before - then the car will need to be coded for it with a PIWIS.
  16. Loren
    Clear your fault codes and report back the new fault codes.
  17. Loren
    1. Yes, the .05 coil packs are the latest revision and the only revision currently available. 2 & 3. Most likely can be corrected with a DME re-program. 4. You will need a PIWIS tester to diagnose this problem further. 5. There is a TSb for older cars (including 2004) that mentions a problem with the Air-conditioning system regulator that will prevent the Aux Heater from being programmed or running right. See if your car is included in the Service Campaign.
  18. Loren
    Can you point it out in the diagram?
  19. Loren
    Correct plugs for MY1997 are 14FR7 LDU. Check your coil for cracks and make sure each electrical connector is on and snapped into place.
  20. Loren
    In RoW cars the radios for up MY03 would have been CR-22 as well as CDR-32. So perhaps the original poster has a CDR-32 (more or less equal to a CDR-220).
  21. Loren
    That is a key on measurement.
  22. Loren
    How can I tell which sensor is currently in my car? Is there a way based on VIN# or must I pull out the old sensor to find out? Is the part# stamped on the MAF sensor? When I took it out last month to clean it I don't recall seeing a part#. thanks, David Unfortunately your car could have either or may not have been updated. So yes, get the part number off the sensor.
  23. Loren
    Should be +5 VDC between pin 1 and pin 3. Yes. The signal from CMP sensor 1 identifies the first cylinder. If both the crankshaft position (reference mark) signal and the CMP sensor signal coincide, this signifies the ignition timing for cylinder 1. The recognition of cylinder 1 is necessary for the purpose of sequential fuel injection and knock sensing.
  24. Loren
    Lot's of possibilities... How old is your fluid? Change it if it is two years or older. Rust on pedal bushing (under dash)? Sticky push rod on the pedal? (dirt, corrosion, etc.) If the car was put away with wet brakes then the pads and pistons could be stuck. Rare bit I have see it.
  25. Loren
    Yes, Durametric can read and reset Tiptronic fault codes - what it can not do (at this point) is run Porsche's Tiptronic diagnostics.
