I have done it with a PST2 and it literally takes about 2 minutes (providing nothing is still broken). I would try to fins a show with a PST2 and pay them for the minimum time to do the calibration.

The 996 service manual has had 99 supplements - so some of those online freebies are worthless. (I know I bought all 99 supplements) ;)

Can you ask the tech that looked on the car? It is just random guessing without fault codes.

Sorry to hear your misfortune. What were/are the fault code(s)?

999.500.092.00 Nut -- US MSRP $2.94

Someone has overtightened it. You will likely need to reach under from the battery side and hold the rubber enclosed nut to keep it from turning. If it is badly damaged (nut pulled through) then you will need to replace the rubber enclosed nut. They were only a couple of dollars last time I checked.

Either will work fine. 996.559.211.00 has replaced 993.559.211.00. In many (but not all cases) the last two numbers are revision numbers.

If you have PSE then you would have that relay somewhere in the relay panel. (unless of course someone removed it). Older relays might end in .01 or .02 instead of .03.

Model and year of your car please. Also, Litronic/Xenon or Halogen lights.

Removal 1. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery. 2. Remove driver's airbag unit. For this purpose, loosen the two fastening screws with a screwdriver for internal Torx T 30. Disconnect plug connection at airbag unit and at steering wheel (for horn). Note: Replace fastening screws whenever they have been loosened. The airbag unit must always be set down so that the cushioned side faces upwards. If removed for an extended period, the airbag unit must be kept in a locked place. Observe the safety regulations. 3. Loosen hexagon nut and remove together with spring washer. 4. Turn wheels to straight-ahead position. Then mark the position of the steering wheel with respect to the steering shaft (for refitting). Remove steering wheel (in straight-ahead position). Note: To prevent unintended rotation of the contact unit (KE) when the steering wheel has been removed, the contact unit locks itself when the steering wheel is pulled back. Likewise,the contact unit unlocks automatically when the steering wheel is refitted. Installation 1. Refit the steering wheel with the wheels in the straight-ahead position or in accordance with the marking so that the upper spokes of the steering wheel are horizontal. Caution: Do not trap the cable of the contact unit. 2. Fit hexagon nut with spring washer and tighten to 46 Nm (34 ftlb). 3. Install driver's airbag unit. Use new fastening screws. Tightening torque: Tightening torque 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.) 4. Check horn for operation.

That says all of your O2 heating current is too low. Perhaps they are the wrong sensors - wired incorrectly.

Replacement is covered in the service manual - which is what dmcole used. I have several pdfs of the service manual, but the closest thing I find is Group 2, page 28-1. That covers only the switch, not the lock+switch. Would you be kind to point be to the section in the service manual or PM me the directions? That's be helpful ... the switch looks doable, but I can't visualize the lock part very well ... Go figure.... It is in the steering section since the lock is part of the steering column. Section - 48 08 55 Replacing steering lock.

Impressive - most cars won't hold a vacuum overnight.

Try 1099 or 1097 Nope, neither worked. In fact, the dealer gave me Code 2101 based on SN and VIN and it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Did you read this... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

Try 1099 or 1097

There is a TSB for this. TSB 9/04 6963 Airbag Warning Light On - Fault Code 1217 and 1218 -- dated Jun 7, 2005.

Please do not double post. Re-read the board Guidelines/Rules if you are unsure. I have deleted your other post.

Double check that TSB 3/00 1728 Lack of Oil Pressure on Start Up -- dated 7-27-00 has been performed on the car.

Carefully remove the airbag (no key in the ignition) and the detach the electrical connector - being careful of the clock spring. Tighten the steering wheel nut and then reassemble.

Those are just connectors. So if you can find equivalent ones elsewhere the cost will likely be much less. Did you get a quote from Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)? They will likely be much less. You will also need a connector tool to remove the pins from the connector.

It is not an updated wiring harness - it is re-making the ground connections to the chassis under the left seat and the connectors in that the buckles plug into. In a few rare cases the airbag controller needs to replaced too.

Yes, it remembers the last state. Do not press auto or it will go back to auto on.

Press the snowflake button (when the car is on).
