    Are you sure the code are P1130 and P1138, or could they be P1130 and P1128?

    Don't really know, I've only seen the one spec for the PDK oil as posted above.

    We ain't much warmer here, 20F overnight tonight. Thank God for garage heat..............
  5. JFP in PA
    Yes, but it is a little more complicated as you need to adjust the fluid level when the transmission fluid is in a specific temperature range. There is a DIY in the 996 section (the procedures are exactly the same for a Boxster) that details how it is done.

    I realize that these systems exist for the benefit of emergency vehicles, but I would not want to be around when the local constabulary catches a private passenger car messing with the traffic lights.......

    A C4 should hold about 64L of fuel total, it is possible that your gauge is not calibrated correctly as you should be down more that half a tank when the light comes on.

    And I'm sure that won't get you in trouble either......................... :eek:

    If the car is level, and it ain't running out of the overflow when at temp, you are still low.
  10. JFP in PA
    That should be hot enough.
  11. JFP in PA
    What temperature was the ATF at when you check the level?

    If you try to put a Tip into park after running it in gear, some internal component's may still be turning if you have not totally stopped the drive line using the brakes. When this happens, the "pawl", which is the mechanical lock that drops into place in park to keep the trans from turning starts skipping from tooth to tooth until everything stops turning and it can drop into place. When this happens, it makes a ratchet like clicking sound. Completely normal. Normally, when you run the Tip in gear with the car up, only one wheel may turn. Again, this is nothing unusual. Now a question: Did you run the car until the trans came up to temperature and then adjust the fluid level? If not, the trans may not be full, or it may be over filled. Because these cars do not have dipsticks, you need to follow the warm up procedure to do the fluid level correctly.

    I notice it states amber and not the red third stop light can be pulsed. Can the third brake light (RED) be replaces with an amber lens and still conform to state laws? I believe the Federal standards for tail lights are red for brakes, amber for turn signals.

    While the Europeans are more open on this subject, the state laws here on blinking lights are kind of all over the place on this; some limit the color of the lights that can blink (often amber), the location of the flashing lights on the vehicles, others the rate and/or number of total flashes allowed to flash, and many only allow changes in illumination levels (the light can get brighter or dimmer, but not totally go out between pluses). I am aware of one owner that put small blue LED valve stem cap lights on his wheels (no, I have no idea why) and got a ticket for having moving lights on a non emergency vehicle, which he fought and subsequently lost in court. Flashing lights on passenger cars are somewhat like Forest Gump's box of chocolates..........

    Just be aware that aftermarket strobe lights are illegal on non emergency vehicles in many states, and ticket bait in many others.

    When doing this swap, make sure the key is not in the ignition and disconnect the battery before starting the swap. Make sure all the wiring connectors on the replacement seats are fully seated before reconnecting the battery. You should be fine.

    Only if you need to pass emissions inspection.......................
  18. JFP in PA
    That is low, you should be more like 14.4V.
  19. JFP in PA
    Actually, all you need is some clean clear plastic tubing and a small, but very bright flashlight. The old amber fluid will have a slight discoloration to it from use; when the fresh fluid appears in the tubing back lit by a bright light, you will see it change. We do it this way every day.

    My new GT3

    JFP in PA replied to aehsani's topic in 991 GT3

    Congratulations on what sounds like a wicked ride............. :thumbup:

    +1. We have seen a couple of aftermarket belts that the owner's installed and suffered slippage issues. Not all belt are the same quality or even the correct size; stay with a known name brand to be safe.

    Did you try resetting your window limits after you disconnected the battery? The how to is in your owner's manual.
  24. JFP in PA
    The "hand over reset" is done by the PIWIS system, Basically they just run a program the PIWIS that inventories the control units in the car and resets them to their new car delivery state. I do not believe any smart phone app is capable of that.

    The horror stories are common for good reason, a lot of aftermarket warranty deals are not worth the paper they are written on. Many exclude critical items (like RMS or IMS issues), and try and dictate how much the shop can charge to do a repair, which alone has resulted in many shops refusing to get involved. Be very cautious and read the fine print several times before you part with any money. Ask your preferred shop if they will accept any plan you might be considering. Some have paid out thousands only to get little if anything in return.
