    Folks please READ the 3.4 liter Engine Swap PDF referenced in post 7 above. There is only one engine carrier for a 3.4 liter -- and the engine mount is the same for all 3.4 and 3.6 liter cars. The A means the part has been replaced with an updated version.

    :welcome: I assume you cleaned and inspected the contacts on the removable face plate? If you have done that then I doubt there is any hope other than replacement. Maybe borrow a face plate from another Carrera or Boxster owner and see if that fixes it. There are some CDR-220's on ebay but I doubt you want to pay the dealer price ($800-$1000) for a new one from Porsche. Maybe time for a 3rd party radio if that is the case.

    For your Audi have a look here

    You don't have the exact same problem - kevinkw's manual switch works fine. If the manual operation does not work then either there is a connection problem (fuse, wires, connector corrosion) or the spoiler is jammed and binding or in a rare case the motor is bad.

    2 red wires )same place and one black wire - pretty hard to get wrong. Check your chassis grounds and your ignition switch.

    997 Cluster Removal 1. If a new instrument cluster should be installed, read out the values if possible from the instrument cluster. 2. Loosen the steering wheel adjustment, put the steering wheel in the front-most and lowest position and lock the steering wheel adjustment. 3. Unscrew the two fastening screws 1. 4. The instrument cluster is also secured in the dashboard with two retaining clips. Therefore, pull the instrument cluster abruptly forward and if necessary push instrument cluster away from dashboard from underneath. 5. Release electrical connector on instrument cluster A and unplug it. 6. Pull out instrument cluster at the sides and to the left. Installation is the reverse.

    Yeah, if you do a search here they were posted quite a while ago. Here are a couple... Also, I have but have not posted GT3, GT3 RS, Forty fast years (911), Targa, and early and late C4's.

Thanks I have added it to the original post.

    I currently have the exact same issue....only my seat is stuck at it's furthest back point and it it impossible to remove the back bolts....or at least it seems. Any help here people?? Thanks, Alan :o Did you check the fuse?
  10. Loren
    You do realize the Cayenne has a headlight/front end electronics control module (black box)? I think this will make it very hard to add any features.
  11. Loren
    Try 4289 or 4287

    Note: Part numbers sometimes change without notice. Always double check with your supplier that you have the latest part numbers. Tools you will need: Crimping tool Soldering Iron Hot airgun (or hair dryer) Parts For MY99-MY01 use: 996.616.101.00 For MY02 and newer use: 996.616.141.00 Heat shrink tubing (fairly large) Electrical tape (optional) Note: The ballast resistor is available as a spare part and can be replaced by crimping it onto the old wires. 1. Disconnect the battery and cover the terminal or battery. 2. Unclip ballast resistor from the holder from below. 3. Cut off wires approx. 30 mm behind the old ballast resistor. 4. Slide heat-shrink tubing over the wires to the plug connections (2x) and to the fan motor (1x). 5. Shorten wires of the new ballast resistor to approx. 30 mm and strip approx. 5 mm of insulation off all wire ends. 6. Using a commercially available crimping tool, join the wires with crimp connectors. 7. After crimping, solder the crimp connectors. Slide heat-shrink tubing over the crimp connectors and then shrink the tubing with a hot airgun. 8. Carefully route the wires and, if necessary, fix in place with plastic tape.

    I would look for bad grounds or pinched wires near the top.

    I would clean the area the best that I can - then drive the car and see if you can find the actual source point.
  20. Loren
    Find someone with small hands to retrieve the items. If that does not work you will likely have to remove the seat. If you are going to unplug any connections under the seat then disconnect the battery - otherwise you WILL get an airbag light.

    Exchange price on a Porsche factory rebuilt engine (with two year warranty) is $10,660.69 (MSRP). And, I think his labor time is quite high too (book time is about 15 hours). You might want to talk to another shop.

    If the clutch is not completely disengaging or the slave is leaking back then it could be the cause. If you did not have the problem before the damage then the most likely cause is air trapped in the system.
  25. Loren
    Try 9308 or 9306 Thanks Loren, Neither of the codes worked - unless I have to push additional buttons befoe/after entering the code. Any suggestions? Thanks again! Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
