    Welcome to RennTech First of all, posting in all caps is considered rude by many posters, and is completely unnecessary. Most likely, your problem is a filled temperature sensor on the engine, but I would not be driving the car until a shop can confirm and repair the issue. These engines are very sensitive to damage caused by overt heating, and with an inoperative dash display you really don’t know where the actual temp is.

    Basically, there are two types if retrofits: Those that did LN Engineering, and those that wish they did. LN & Jake. Raby invented the retrofit when Porsche said it could not be done, developed the necessary tools and procedures, and worked with bearing engineers to find the optimum ceramic hybrid replacement. Jake even tested designs to destruction to prove the concept. Everyone else now in the business have an off the shelf, “me too” fix; some of which have no real history, or a very limite one. LN has been successfully retrofitting for many years now, with over 25,000 retrofits on the road. In addition to the ceramic hybrid ball bearings version, they also make the IMS Solution, which is an oil fed solid bearing which is the only “life of the engine” retrofit, and the only one that can be moved to another engine. Not the cheapest retrofit, but definitely one that draws attention at resale time.

    If you are referring to Version 6.5.4.8, it has been out for nearly a month (Sep 27, 2017).

    The tool you used is designed for the Viton RMS seal, not the later PTFE seal, and will install the later seal at the incorrect depth. Currently, only Porsche makes the correct tool for the PTFE seal, or you need to make your own.

    No, it is an emissions control device.

    Are the particles ferrous?

    Unfortunately, that diagram is copyrighted material, so posting it would be a violation of intellectual property rights, which is prohibited on this site.

    Welcome to RennTech As the code is emissions related, it A may take serveral drive cycles to reset, assuming the cap is OK.

    They are going to have to have a PIWIS, which all dealers do, as well as some independents. You need to ask if they have one as you are going nowhere without it, and for security reasons, they are going to need the car as well..
  10. JFP in PA
    You cannot just swap DME's as the Vag-com will not be able to do all the necessary recoding; that requires access to a PIWIS

    You should first scan the car with a Porsche specific scan tool (Durametric, PIWIS), which can start the SAI pump without the car running. If it does not run, I would check the electrical connections to the pump, and attempt to run it on the bench before replacing it. Sometimes these pumps get gummed up internally and a simple clean out gets them back up and running.

    No, the child seat option can simply be turned off.

    I would check the MAF values. Often, when a MAF is either very dirty, or on its way out, rough idle is a common complaint. The VarioCam system can be fully tested with a Porsche scan tool like the Durametric system (which can also check the MAF values); I would test that before even thinking about replacing any components in the system as they are all rather $.

    Welcome to RennTech You need to correctly clear the fault code.
  15. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Unfortunately, you are not going to be able to hone out that amount of liner damage, and even if you could, the pistons would be so loose in the bores you would have even larger issues.

    Usually, these problems are caused by the starter Bendix drive hanging up due to corrosion or build up on the starter shaft. Pull the starter and clean the Bendix drive with something like WD 40, then dry it and lubricate it with DuPont Dry Teflon spray and reinstall the starter. We do this all the time with customer cars with very few actually needing an expensive new starter.

    Usually, P0102 is a wiring break or short, and you should be checking the wiring from the MAF to the DME (where it gets its power), not the ignition switch.

    5 inches of water, or slightly below, should be fine. Is the new AOS factory or aftermarket? I ask because we have had no luck with non factory AOS units, way too many were bad right out of the box; although the ones that failed also showed high vacuum as well. Have you pulled the intake boots and checked for oil residue?

    If you do that, you have a "Frankenstein" car with a significantly reduced value. If you are not going to do a proper transplant, sell it as a roller to someone that will.

    In a very large plastic bag on the passenger's seat.

    The short answer is that some of these products do at least temporarily stop leaks, but also can gum up the system, much the way fix-a-flat fills a tire with goop. A better way is to trace down the leaking part and replace it.
  22. JFP in PA
    The answer is no, only a PIWIS or PST II can program the door locks.
  23. JFP in PA
    OK, you have a five chain engine, which by design is less prone to jumping time during service. You will need to pin the crank pulley at TDC, then pull the cam plug on the driver’s side rear cylinder head and install the shorter of the two cam locks. Once that is done, you can remove and replace the hydraulic tensioners one at a time.

    Welcome to RennTech Anytime you hit the limiter, it is recorded in the DME, regardless of the circumstances.

    Welcome to RennTech What is the year and model of the car?
