    You need to use a scanning tool that is capable of showing pending codes and all codes at the same time. Like Durametric, Porsche PST2 or Porsche PSWIS tester.

    :welcome: Please do a search here - this topic has been covered in a great deal of detail.

    Hi Loren. Really? I was planning to this on my 2006 987S this summer as preventive maintenance. What should I do? See the Porsche Maintenance Checklist (in the Maintenance Checklist section) - no flush is needed during any normal maintenance. 986 and 996 were the same.

    Try 9611 or 9609
  5. Loren
    Try 2386 or 2384

    A C2 is pretty much the same as the Boxster. Wheel Bearings 101

    Can you help with the specs for the battery for a 2003 911 996 C2?. I need to buy a new one. Thanks Please give our Search a try... Battery

    :welcome: Probably a bad pulse sender.

    didn't see the above, thanks loren!

    Coolant flush? Porsche does not recommend that unless the system has been contaminated. You could likely do everything except the alignment/wheel balance for under $200 yourself.

    If you have any air leak - it will cause a CEL.
  12. Loren
    I don't think you need the manual. It is on the right side of the engine near the air intake distributors. It has two wire and screws into the block. Here is a pic of one we put on a Boxster - it will look the same on a Carrera (but a little harder to get to).

    :welcome: Engine Serial number http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=82150 Looks like aero front bumper and side skirts - but the aero rear spoiler is missing. Do a search here on amplifier - you have lots of options on this (older) wired system.

    Porsche System Tester is connected to the vehicle via a 16-pin diagnosis socket. The diagnosis socket is located inside the vehicle below the instrument panel near the driver (left-hand drive vehicles) or the assenger (right-hand drive vehicles) See Arrow.
  15. Loren
    Try 0473 or 0471

    Please read the FAQ - each radio is different - so your code can not help anyone.

    Try 1538 or 1536 Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    :welcome: Your rain sensor is a separate wire and mounting disk - a different mirror should not affect it.

    Hmm, would the IPAS Security Codes be written anywhere on the car per chance? What do they look like typically? If I don't have them already does the dealership charge "extra" for the security codes because I don't have a clue what mine are, i only got 1 key with the car. I take it the dealership will "cut" the blank(s) in that service time charge? Advance Thanks for the help Loren. No. IPAS codes could allow someone to reprogram systems on your car and steal it. If you get them from your dealer lock them away in a safe or safe deposit box.

    So if the key gets pushed more than 256 times, it loses sync, and more than 1024 times (as could easily happen in a pocket), it will never ever ever work again? Isn't there some way to reset them both back without having to pay $300 for a new key? So, I know I've seen websites out there where you can purchase the "head" (metal cut part of the key) and the black porsche cover (not sure if it comes with a chip or not) for pretty cheap. That being said, let's say you purchase that for $25. What's the cheapest route to either get a new key and have it programmed, or have the one that's not working programmed. There has to be a cheaper route than $300. Yes I realize with a PIWIS or OBDII you could do this yourself... but I don't have one :) Only the Durametric kit, and that doesn't allow you to program your own keys :) Would be curious what the cheapest route is. I know i've seen some places recently (hardware stores) that will cut fancy cars keys and have the capability to program the chips. Not sure if that applies though. You can buy your keys from Sunset Imports and they will come with a security code tag. To program them you will need someone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester as well as your cars (IPAS) security codes (obtainable from your dealer if you ask for them). To program the keys the shop will need: your car any existing keys your (IPAS) security codes any new keys Expect to pay for 1 hour labor to do this.

    I think they have already answered here. There is no "magic bullet". 1. Change the battery. 2. Try the reset procedure. 3. Try reprogramming the key to the immobilizer. 4. Replace the key and program it to the immobilizer.

    Please read the FAQ - all radio codes are unit to the unit serial number Try 5523 or 5521
  24. Loren
    Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  25. Loren
    Probably yes. But what are the chances that both my keys go defective at the same time, just when i have replaced the batteries in the keys?.. Doesn't sound right... You can try having them re-programmed by a dealer/OPC.
