    I’m sorry, but that type of patch is only good to get a vehicle home. Replace the failed hoses or you will end up chasing your tail trying to fix this.
  2. JFP in PA
    I would suspect your voltage regulator is on its way out. A cheap and easy fix.

    The automatic sound level control was based upon Swiss noise level laws, which require these systems to close automatically between about 10 MPH and 25 MPH (speeds are approximate as the rule is in KPH). Put your window down, push the button on the console to open the system to loud, and slowly drive off; if the auto system is correctly installed, you should hear the car's volume drop around 10 MPH and come back around 25 MPH.

    That is the hose supplying vacuum to your power brake booster........................
  5. JFP in PA
    P2103 is for a high signal on the throttle actuator motor, so I rather doubt it is connected to your vacuum leak issue.

    We never fill customers cars to the max line, ever. Closest we get is one line below the max line. Occasional hard driving or track usage will end up with oil in the intake on vehicles without leaking turbos if you overfill the oil system.......................

    One or more vacuum lines are either loose or disconnected, most likely the one that supplies vacuum to your brake booster. I'd start there.............
  8. JFP in PA
    This engine should not be overfilled, drain some oil out of it until it is below the max line.
  9. JFP in PA
    I would start by trying to read the sensor voltages with the Durametric system.
  10. JFP in PA
    It cold be anywhere is the circuit between the sensor and the DME.
  11. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech That code is often caused by wiring or harness connector issues, resulting in a lack of communication between the DME and the sensor.
  12. JFP in PA
    There isn't any mileage per se, you change them when needed.

    Welcome to RennTech While the Porsche oil filter wrench is nice, there are several aftermarket units that work just fine.
  14. JFP in PA
    The compressor has to be running and have at least the minimum pressure to operate in order to add gas.
  15. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech To be succinct, you cannot shut this function off, it is part of the car's built in security system to prevent theft. You should also be aware that leaving the key in the ignition when the car is not running also tends to kill the car's battery fairly quickly as many systems remain active as long as the key is inserted.

    Just to put the service interval in perspective, we change the fluid in Tips around 40-50K miles, never waiting until 90K..........
  17. JFP in PA
    Anytime you remove the hydraulic chain tensioners in one of these engines, the engine needs to be locked at TDC with a pin through the lower pulley, and the cams locked at the cylinder heads with the correct cam locking plates for the style engine you are working on (three chain or five chain). To do otherwise is to risk having the cams move due to spring tension and cause the now slack chain(s) to jump time, which will then require an enormous amount of work to correct. The cam locking plates are cheap insurance against that happening,

    Please do not "bump" posts, it is against forum rules you agreed to when you joined......
  19. JFP in PA
    Have the battery load tested.
  20. JFP in PA
    You need a non contact infrared pyrometers that measures the temp of the fluid coming out, even drips, without touching it. It can also be used to check the temperature of the trans pan the same way.
  21. JFP in PA
    ?? If you are attempting to "bump" your earlier post, that is prohibited by the forum rules you agreed to when you joined. Future "bump" post will be deleted........
  22. JFP in PA
    They are Lokasil.

    Welcome to RennTech The problems you mentioned are both well known and documented here and on other websites. Before buying this vehicle, I would suggest you have a pre purchase inspection done by a qualified Porsche specialist; the money spent on the inspection may just be the best investment you make. Good luck.
  24. JFP in PA
    Pretty much. The tool is actually a VW item, but still rather rare.
  25. JFP in PA
    You should remove the strut. Your biggest concern should be safety, you need to compress the springs to remove and install them, so you will need a quality tool setup to do this safely. And yes, you should do both sides.
