    What codes?
  2. JFP in PA
    That is a specialty hose for use with non removable barbed fittings.

    I don't offhand, but board sponsor Sunset Porsche's part website will.

    The car actually has several different "computers" that control different functions. The DME should not impact brake light functions, but the ABS/PSM unit might. The 991 618 145 is the electronic parking brake control unit.
  5. JFP in PA
    Which computer?
  6. JFP in PA
    The engine needs to be lowered down enough to gain access, or just dropped out completely. As for how to use the tool, I would search for online DIY articles, or look for a copy of the factory service manual for the car.
  7. JFP in PA
    Yes, that is the seal and the cam tool set.
  8. JFP in PA
    Cam covers with metal plug tubes do have seals at their base, but changing them requires removing the cam cover, which requires both special tooling and some knowledge of the Porsche cam timing technology.
  9. JFP in PA
    You ONLY need to activate the ABS/PSM control network if you have gotten air in it, otherwise just pressure bleed as normal.
  10. JFP in PA
    What year is the car? Later cars do not have removable plug tubes.

    I see a Time-Sert threaded insert in your future...….

    Run the cooling system pressure test; if it doesn't hold pressure, run cylinder by cylinder leak down tests to identify which hole(s) it is.
  14. JFP in PA
    The immobilizer system. You need to stop parts swapping and start basic diagnostics; start by checking the pedal switch wires to see if you have both power and ground. Then check the harness for continuity to the brake lights themselves, and the tail light grounds.

    Welcome to RennTech These engines use multi layer steel head gaskets that are actually stronger than the head or block castings; literally, they never fail. I would suggest having your cooling system pressure tested, you may have a failing or slipped cylinder liner.

    The clutch switch is for the cruise control system.
  17. JFP in PA
    It should not be twisted.
  18. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech I really don't think the two are related other than by coincidence.
  19. JFP in PA
    Yes and no, cabrio is much bigger, so it would fit but very loosely.
  20. JFP in PA
    Some shops make their money with "add on's" like this. If you are using a quality full synthetic, you simply don't need additives.
  21. JFP in PA
    Check the switches on the brake peddle, one is for cruise, the other is for the lights.
  22. JFP in PA
    The dash display will always tell you the truth, unlike many shops.
  23. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech These engines are actually happier running slightly below the full level. Add about 1/3 of a quart of oil, let the car sit for a bit and check it again. We generally fill customer cars to around 1/2 quart below full cold.
  24. JFP in PA
    Fogging oil is commonly used on long period stored engines to prevent rust and keeps the rings sticking to the pistons over time; cheap insurance. It will also free up stuck rings to prevent any damage to the cylinder liners when recommissioning engines that have been in storage.
  25. JFP in PA
    Welcome to RennTech Drain and replace all fluids (including gas), pull the plugs and spray the cylinder's with engine fogging oil, let the car sit overnight, then turn the engine over by had to free everything up. Once loose, put in fresh plugs and light it off, expecting it to smoke a bit at first.
