    Split the nuts with the Dremel, then press out the studs and you are good to install new ones.

    If they have button heads on one end like this, they are pressed in:
  3. JFP in PA
    I think yours are also pressed in...……...

    It should be located on the passenger's side in the front trunk (green arrow):

    To my knowledge, the Durametric system has never been able to code DRL on a 987 vehicle to do what you want.
  6. JFP in PA
    No, it means the fuel system is over pressuring at the tank, indicating an EVAP system fault.
  7. JFP in PA
    Tank leakage diagnostic module has reached upper limit.

    This is why I suggested checking the pressure with a known mechanical tester before moving foward. When you say the wire from the sensor to the cluster is good, how did you check it? It is entirely possible the cluster gauge itself is bad. If it is, I don't know of anyone that repairs individual gauges, so you would be up for replacing the cluster, which is coded to the DME, so you are going to need access to a factory computer (PIWIS) to complete the replacement.

    Most likely a bad wiper switch on the stalk, but you will need to pull it apart and test it to be sure.

    Dump the fuel and all vital fluids and start over. Probably will need a battery as well, and I would check the tires for signs of aging.
  11. JFP in PA
    Simple: It may not solve your problem. You need to find out where the fuel pressure is venting, say at an injector, and fix it before it causes more problems, like scored cylinders. Simply adding a check valve is a band aid; find the real problem and fix it.
  12. JFP in PA
    No. The vehicle would need to have the wiring harness for the module, and then be coded with a PIWIS to accept it before it would work. Can be done, but is rather expensive, which is why people go to the aftermarket systems.
  13. JFP in PA
    Not often, but they do fail from time to time.
  14. JFP in PA
    Electronic throttle.
  15. JFP in PA
    Usually, yes. A metal impeller will do unfixable damage to the engine cases, resulting in overheating issues that cannot be fixed, as well as filling the entire cooling system with fine metal dust that is a pain to get out.

    I would be smoke testing the system before dropping the tank with the code you have. If you take the time or pay someone to replace a part that is not the actual issue, and before confirming the actual fault, you are going to feel pretty dumb, and we don’t want that happening ?
  17. JFP in PA
    Rusting trim is usually not a warranty issue unless the dealer wants to cover it under goodwill.
  18. JFP in PA
    Good call on checking the code by DBJoe996; the code you are seeing is for a gross tank ventilation leak, usually caused by a bad gas cap, detached or leaking vent hose on the EVAP canister or similar hose. It is not for that valve which would be a different code. Start by looking at the seal on your gas cap and looking at the hoses for the EVAP system, which do not require dropping the fuel tank.

    Porsche unfortunately does not sell a lot of internal components for the rack and a new one retails north of $2700: And there never was a manual rack for this car.

    The only one that I am familiar with is from the factory service manuals, but that cannot be reproduced here as it is copyrighted intellectual property.

    Problem is pretty straight forward, the center latch on the convertible top trips a microswitch when latched, allowing the windows to finish their path upwards into their seals for a weather tight configuration. When the latch is released prior to putting the top down, the windows drop several inches in order to let the top cycle into its down position. But now the windows have no signal as the top is retracted, which means when the hard top is put on, or if the driver wanted the windows all the way up with the top down, this would leave the side windows down several inches. Add the cheap red clip, the windows get the signal to go into the full up position, where they remain until the inside or outside door handle is pulled, retracting them slightly to allow them to clear the top seals (as if a top is in place). Again, a simple solution to an otherwise complicated problem.....

    Has to do with the hard top option; when the hard top is in place, nothing is pushing down the microswitch, hence the red clip so the windows go all the way up with the hard top on. Simple fix for a complicated problem...……..
  23. JFP in PA
    Yes, we are talking about the front diff, as it sits under the fuel tank.. How hard is obviously related to how well you are equipped and your mechanical expertise.
  24. JFP in PA
    Item #17 in diagram: On 4 wheel drive cars, the front axle may be in the way.
  25. JFP in PA
    I would put a mechanical pressure gauge on it before doing anything else; you need to know what the actual pressure is before doing anything else.
