    Halogen bulbs have no balast, only HID lamps got it.

    The Porsche telephone is not necessary for traffic info, just the up date.
  3. RFM
    The switch is build in the lock/latch in front of the trunk. The switch is available separately and can be replaced, the lock/latch is mounted with 2 bolts behind the trim.

    For European cars: on page 4 - # 50 ( remarks ) of the homologous letter: * ZU NO.32: WAHLW. 5 MM DISTANZSCHEIBE AUSSER B. Perhaps you Americans don't have this letter, it comes with the car in Europe.

    Maybe not instantly, perchance in the nearly future.

    With the ignition on push twice and hold the button to lower the spoiler, if the spoiler doesnt work change the up relay with the down relay, the spoiler stays down if the relay is faulty.

    You can wreck the clutch, the rear and bottom of the car get full of oil and dirt and your wife get angry because of the garage floor. :o

    RMS can stop leaking after stand still for a few days ( leak above oil level ) intermediate shaft seal leak in contrary stays leaking ( leak under oil level ) In your case, i think, that the RMS is the culprit.

    A new set ( spring + piston ) can give a slight advantage in oil pressure for engines with high mileage, pure theoretically spoken at least. I wouldn't do it CJ.
  10. RFM
    Do you have fault codes? Faulty MAF sensors on turbo's are rare.
  11. RFM
    Why should you change the oil pressure piston in a 986 ? It was only a noise problem in the 05 and 06 987, which M 96 engine is slightly different in detail than the 986 M 96.> MY 07 use the M 97 engine.

    For the seat memory: do the same as before, lock the car - wait 10 minutes - unlock the car. A good chance that it will work this way.

    ssflai Your dealer is right " there is no warranty on warranty " but this is only for the parts ( same issue within 24 months ), for the labour on the contrary he have to take contact with the Porsche importer. I'm sure that even for the part an arrangement can be discussed because the special situation ( 4.000 km. ) and a well known history of the car. The only negative point is the age of the car, anyway, the result of the operation looks badly. I don't no what the Canadian low represent, but over here is a PROFESSIONAL car seller required to give 12 months warranty on the car purchased by a NON professional. I hope for you that this indistinctness will be cleared in a short time.

    The location is the same with or without CD reader, behind the separate cover in the trim, on the right side in the cargo area.
  15. RFM
    987 & 987 S are the same: front 298 x 24 mm rear 299 x 20 mm ( from the book )
  16. RFM
    Let some one with experience check for traces and to do measurements, dealer or body shop.
  17. RFM
    Do you mean that the distance between the left rear wheel center and the left front wheel center is different than the right side? This is not adjustable, big chance that the car have got an accident. What you can do is take a look for bended control arms, struts or sub frame transposition on the front or rear and do some measurements. The last option is to put the car without the suspension on a bench to correct the chassis points.
  18. RFM
    The amp. is located behind the right rear trim above the CD reader.

    Cayenne turbo 08 have mono bloc calipers which means that the caliper is build ( mill ) from one piece of metal instead of two halves bolted together as usual. Race cars and bikes with a good reputation have all mono blocs. Regular calipers comes slightly open under heavy braking by the ( oil ) pressure between the pistons and the caliper, mono blocs don't. The advantage is a shorter pedal travel and no strange reactions under heavy braking. You have to remove the complete caliper assembly by the two hexagon bolts to change the pads witch means the same handling as to change the rotors. The assembly is bolt on the carrier lateral as all other Cayenne and not radial as the sport cars have. Hope this helps. ( Sorry for my poor English )

    Give it a try and rapport back after a couple of fillings please.
  21. RFM
    A simple question, do you have this problem with the key out of the ignition while filling as well ?
  22. RFM
    There are delivery problems with Michelin for the moment, the standard 17" on the rear for 987 is not available since months.
  23. RFM
    This special bolts hold the caliper to the reinforcement, you have only to remove both hexagon bolts which hold the reinforcement to the hub carrier to change the pads. A golden Porsche brake system rule is: every in the SAME color PAINTED bolt as the CALIPER is prohibited area for REGULAR service. Can you imagine what the owner will do after he have observed the destroyed red painted calipers ?
  24. RFM
    The sensor is build in the lock on the front of the trunk, and available separately.
  25. RFM
    Moose I'm not sure for the US, but on European 08 turbo's it is prohibited to loose the special bolts ( 4 bolts ). To replace the pads, loosen the 2 threaded joints for the wheel carrier ( hexagon ) on the inner side of the wheel.
