  1. RFM started following Problem with convertible clamshell door - noise , Metal cylinders on 996 front brake pads , Speedo and Odometer is way out (around 30%) and 7 others
  2. RFM
    Vibration/resonance dampers together with the bevelled edges of the brake lining, squeaking noises are prevented.
  3. RFM
    Isn't the system programmed for Km/h instead of miles?
  4. RFM
    This is a cooling water channel, the cover is secured with four bolts. The metal seal between housing and cover is leaking and needs to be replaced, this occurs regularly. The work is easy to do, drain cooling water, clean the edges of the housing and cover, replace the metal seal, refill cooling water. Please note, to avoid filling and venting problems cooling water must be refilled with a vacuum device, this is very important to avoid an overheated and therefore defected engine.

    I looked in to my notes regarding 996/986, ABS/TC is a combi system. Perform a throttle valve cleaning inclusief the electric connector and check the wiring, it may sound weird but the throttle body is part of the TC system and too much resistance mechanical/electrical could cause such a problem. Let us know your findings.
  6. RFM
    035 amp is way too much, 0035 amp looks better with the system in sleep mode. So there is a consumer/control box somewhere that does not go into sleep mode or wakes up now and then. This will probably the cause of the ABS/TC problem.
  7. RFM
    It looks like cooling water loss, there must been a big leak in the circuit. Low oil level is separate from this but must be brought up to level asap.
  8. RFM
    You need a PIWIS diagnostic device to see which/when modules are being woken up, possibly also to detect CAN-BUS errors.
  9. RFM
    If the car has a Tiptronic gearbox, an internal eak from the cooler can cause this phenomenon. Check the ATF oil for intermix with cooling water, the gearbox can be destroyed in a short time.
  10. RFM
    These flaps are on the hinge mechanism,left and right,of the clamshell to protect the convertible top from friction damage when driving top down.
  11. RFM
    Take the car and all associated keys to a Porsche dealer, he can synchronize them with the help of a PIWIS diagnostic device.
  12. RFM
    Maybe a small drop of oil on the hinges and pivots will help.
  13. RFM
    You should try driving with a conventional oil pressure gauge connected and see what the readings are. From this you can determine whether there is still a fault in the pump or elsewhere.
  14. RFM
    Be aware that the remonte controled central locking system only works during approx. 5 days, car parked and nog used. After that time, the door must be opende manualy with the key to het the remonte control working again.
  15. RFM
    Try to bring it back and use Mann for all filters, great quality and always fitting.
  16. RFM
    Did you put the O-ring on the new filter and is it o.k ?
