  1. Loren was able to provide the full list based on my VIN but it doesn't itemize WHAT the "I" codes are. Option code 234 is actually I234, not M234. Still trying to learn what this code represents but at least I know exactly what I'm looking for! Be sure to post here if you find out what it is or find a site that has a complete decoder. Most only have a partial list from what I have found so far. The list I gave you comes from Porsche's database (as of August 2008). You need to ask Porsche - because some of the options are not marked (by them).
  2. On US cars ALL have an emergency release under the right front wheel well. This has been covered here many many times.
  3. Both my Mercedes and Porsche are both 5 MPH fast (when checked against the same GPS).
  4. Sorry, I do not know how big a job it is. I think I would not fix it until the leak gets bigger.
  5. Your car is a MY2001 - I would hope the transmission oil has been changed at least once in 7 years. ;) Yes, remove item 11 (while the car is level) and see if any seeps out.
  6. Chances are the transmission will need to come out for this repair. Are you sure the transmission is not overfilled? Item 17 - 996.303.517.01 shaft seal 15 x 21 x 7 -- US MSRP $5.18
  7. Since you just bought the car I would recommend that you take it to a good Porsche shop or dealer that has a PST2 or PIWIS tester and have them go through the car. It is odd to have misfire on all 3 cylinders of one bank. I would ask for a recent service history too - always a chance that a spark plug replacement went wrong.
  8. Thanks Loren that would be good. Do you think it would be possible to install some AWE cats and AWE headers at a WOCD? Martin Using the hoist would make this a lot easier. Two things to make sure of... 1. That your O2 sensors will fit the cats (or you will get a CEL) 2. Buy new bolts, nuts and gaskets (both top and bottom) for the headers. Even on an almost new car they can break.
  9. The MSRP for that switch is $111.67. In the future you might want to try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - they sell at cost plus 15%.
  10. P0300 Misfire Detection (Sum Total) P0304 Misfiring, Cylinder 4 P0305 Misfiring, Cylinder 5 P0306 Misfiring, Cylinder 6 Did you get a CEL? If not these corrected themselves. If you did get a CEL then the most obvious causes are spark plug coils or spark plugs. Since it is only on one side it could be the camshaft control for that bank.
  11. Well you will know soon enough. If the new cap fixes the coolant loss then you are one of the lucky ones.
  12. It is either the tank or the hose connecting to the bottom of the tank then.
  13. Yes, high beams. A9 and A10 for low beams.
  14. 19, 20, 21, and 22 all use the same relay - 141.951.253.B -- US MSRP $14.06 Low beams - fuses A9 and A10 -- 15A each High beams - fuses A1 and A2 -- 15A each
  15. For the third time - You need to read the FAQ and click on the link at the end. Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  16. MY02 is very different than MY99 to MY01. Either way those two fan relays have nothing to do with your lights unless there is a short somewhere. There are no circuit breakers - there are fuses. And, if a fuse was blown they would not come on for a few seconds. If the fuses are good and you have a bunch of electrical anomalies then I suspect the ignition switch.
  17. Fans -- All 4 relays should be there - make sure you are checking the positions carefully. Xenons -- If both Xenons are not working then the problem is likely the headlight switch. They are on separate circuits.
  18. If it works fine with the dash switch then it has to be the key(s).
  19. Since the car is likely under warranty let the dealer/OPC fix it.
  20. Try 1281 or 1279 Thanks but what about my second question above? I don't have a CR-210 handy - so some else that has one will have to help you.
  21. It is a bit work... might I ask why you need to remove it?
