Is there any up trend in wear metals? What temperature zone has the car lived in? Any unusual oil consumption? Do you have sooty tailpipes? Inspect the spark plugs, anything oil fouled? If you remove the spark plugs, you can do a borescope but it might be less effective than one done via the sump. If you remove the spark plugs, you can do a compression test to see if rings or valve guides might be involved. Any pending engine trouble codes? What oil do you use? -
I don't know if this will be helpful but I've attached a wiring diagram. You'll notice elongated ovals with text, for example, WL REAR. I presume WL means wire loom and REAR means the relative position in the car. 997.1_Wiring_(MY06).pdf

997.1 Need part number for insert for bumper cover
jchapura replied to jchapura's topic in 997-1 Series Part Number Requests
I found the part number. None of the three dealers in the area had the part so I'll be ordering online. The part number is 999 591 329 01. Here's a pic. It fits into the square hole in the second pic.

997.1 Need part number for insert for bumper cover
jchapura replied to jchapura's topic in 997-1 Series Part Number Requests
Thanks Loren! I'm standing at the Porsche Tacoma parts counter as I type... -
2005 C2S Coupe 6MT I needed to remove the front bumper cover to install a new HomeLink module. A couple of lower bumper cover mounting inserts and screws are sheared off. I'd like to replace them. I'm pretty sure the screw is part number 99907322709 and it's the fastener that takes a 27 Torx. (There are a few smaller fasteners taken out to remove the bumper cover that take a 25 Torx and I believe their part number is 99907323109.) Does anyone have a part number and supplier for the larger fastener insert that goes in the (lower) frame for a 997.1? The inserts are square with ears and fit into a square hole in the black frame. Attached is a pic. If the insert is not available separately, is there an alternate way to secure the front bumper cover?

2005 C2S 997.1 I just changed my fuel injectors and want to check for fuel leaks before starting the engine. Does the fuel pump activate with the key in the key on position? If so, does the pump stay on in that key on position, or does it time out if the engine doesn't start? I have a Durametric if that's needed to have the fuel pump stay on for 10-20 seconds without starting the engine.

How did your shop visit turn out? Were they able to diagnose the issue?
-
If it's a dealer or a Porsche-focused independent shop then they will have the PIWIS. It might be as simple as a couple of connectors not making the best electrical contact. You could locate connectors along the light's electrical path and then undo them and spray in some Deoxit and then plug/unplug/plug them a few times.
-
If you have access to a Durametric or PIWIS you might gain some insight from the error codes the diagnostic tool shows.

My car's been in the shop a few days to try to diagnose the issue. I picked it up today. It was the air conditioner (high) pressure sensor switch - it failed in a way to indicate a high pressure and that caused the computer to command cooling the Freon with the condenser and radiator cooling fans on high. And the high pressure indication was in the presence of the system that had no Freon. The lack of Freon was odd because I remember the A/C cooling the car the last time I drove it in the Fall and despite the fact that the system held vacuum for 30 minutes (after the pressure sensor and drier were replaced) and a sniffer could not find a Freon leak after the system was recharged.

Well, John, I continue to be stumped... One last attempt to learn more before taking it to a shop, I took it out for a 30 minute drive. (FWIW, the climate control was in ECO mode.) As expected, thirty seconds after start-up, the radiator fans turned on high. About 1 minute later, the fans turned off as I was driving very slowly out of my property. (And the PSM Failure dash warning also turned off.) At various stop signs, no radiator fans could be heard. After pulling into the garage at the end of the drive, while idling, neither the radiator fans nor the engine compartment fan were on - on would have indicated continued abnormal operation of the fans (because it's cool outside). ...just stumped (about the original problem).

I cleaned the battery posts and cable ends. I refitted the battery into its position. I cleared all fault codes with the Durametric. I started the car (in total, I idled it about 10 minutes). Starter rotational speed and engine start-up time were all normal. The PSM error was displaying on the instrument panel. Within 30 seconds, both front radiator fans turned on high, and remained on during the 10 minutes. I cleared all the fault codes. Toggling the ECO switch on the climate control made no difference to the radiator fans being on. I left it in ECO mode. The engine compartment fan never turned on during the 10 minutes. I cleared all the fault codes. After the last "clearing" of the fault codes, these fault codes were seen: C141 8023 C140 C131 Thoughts? What can I check/do next? I'm perplexed.

I took out the battery and I had it load tested at two places. The battery is a NAPA Legend that has 765CCA. Place 1: Tested good. Voltage sagged to 11.5v. Place 2: Tested good. Voltage sagged to 12.2v. Where to go from here to solve the "fans" problem?

@Loren - I have a 2005 997.1 C2S with the Bose stereo. If I disconnect the battery for an extended period, will I need a radio security code to able to use the radio after I reconnect a new battery?
-
@Loren Loren, I have the Bose system...would it need a radio code after changing out the battery (disconnected for a few hours).
