Suspension Compensation Plate
mffarrell replied to Haiyan's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Porsche changed the color code for the compensation plate thickness. Does anyone know what the new color codes are relative to the plate thickness? -
At first I thought I had suspension issues as I would get a rattle/clunk at slow speeds going over rough roads or small bumps. I know there is a steel ball in the fuel sender, and a plastic ball in the fuel filler tube. My car is a 03 cab with 32 K miles. If I rock the car side to side you can hear this annoying rattle in the cabin. My other car is also a 03, but turbo and it has a similar rattle when your rock the car but not as pronounced so I don’t hear it in the cabin. I am posting 2 videos of the noise from a 05 997. Any ideas how to address this annoying problem?

Porsche classic radio PCCM Plus
mffarrell replied to moosey's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
You will need a piwis 2. Just enable navigation in the piwis menu and the PCCM will communicate with the instrument cluster providing turn-by-turn information. -
Flywheel and Clutch
mffarrell replied to mffarrell's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Thanks JFP! -
Is it necessary to locktite the flywheel bolts and clutch bolts? My original flywheel bolts are all blue, while my replacement bolts which are OEM, have no visible coating. Also my replacement OEM clutch bolts are silver. The clutch bolts that I removed are gold color with no signs of locktite. Thanks!

Porsche classic radio PCCM Plus
mffarrell replied to moosey's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
There is an inherent software bug in the PCCM Plus OS. The trip odometer will randomly reset. I understand there is an update to fix this. Does anyone know if there is a TSB? -
You have a PCM2. You can run your vin in a decoder to find out if your car came with a PCM2.
-
If you have a MOST system it’s basically plug and play. On the other hand, non MOST system are problematic.

Porsche classic radio PCCM Plus

I have installed one in my 03 turbo. 1. Make sure that you replace the following before installing: 996-552-231-12-01C Support frame for center dashboard trim in Satin Black for Porsche 986 and 996 99655265304 Retaining Bar Climate control trim 996-552-339-00-01C 1. Took me awhile to figure out how to install the PCCM retaining brackets so they are secured to the horseshoe. 2. When you re-locate your HVAC control make sure you run the harness on the right side of the dash. There is only one place where the cables will be long enough to connect to the control module. 3. The USB media box harness needs to run to the center of the dash. The harness length is way too short. It took me 15 minutes to connect the small 10 pin connector to the rear of the PCCM, connecting it by feel. 4. You will need a PST2 or PIWIS to code your ecu, if you want map data to display in the instrument display. I used my PIWIS 2 to code the navigation in the instrument control module. 5. I haven’t read any of the manuals yet, but operation is pretty straightforward. 6. I have a Bose system and the sound is amazing, as compared to the CDR23. 7. I would recommend installing a SiriusXM tuner kit. 8. If you have a MOST system, it’s basically plug and play. If not, the PCCM is problematic with grounding and sound issues. -
I would replace with a new PCCM plus. I just completed mine. It is a great upgrade over your current PCM. Cost is about $1300.

Thanks Loren!

I know this is an old thread, but would the sequence be the same using a PIWIS 2 tester?
-
Can someone recommend the correct flywheel lock to use? Thanks!

Anyone?
