    Pics!

    Are the immobilizer and DME paired? As i noted before you can perform the sync w/ IPAS codes.
  3. 987_RDC
    That is suprising, except for someone chosing an auto I've seen a few threads saying that the 997.1 Turbo was the best.
  4. 987_RDC
    Well folks shouldn't pop up a 2 year old question.
  5. 987_RDC
    2004/05 Cayenne S rotors for the front.

    3M kit is really good. I recommend applying a Xpel clear film after. Otherwise the UV will re-damage the lights.

    Do a search on eBay for "M490 porsche" saw one for $37. I would think the wiring harness would be trickest part to find. The ISO plugs for back of the head unit are easy to source.

    Pull the cluster and remove the broken shaft from the back. I found a replacement shaft on eBay for a previous 996.

    I recieved reasonable quotes and seen good feedback from Alden. I ended up doing the work myself since I love an excuse to buy more tools. http://www.flintworksauto.com 12 pack of beer and drive up to San Ramon for fix of latch?

    Depends on one's level of comfort with reviewing the car. I bring scanner tools to check rev and DME. What did the 2.7L person say? That's pretty bad....
  11. 987_RDC
    How will a tech without a PST2 need to handle the wheel calibration? Just attempt to get the wheel visually as straight as possible?
  12. 987_RDC
    Hey I am also in the bay area. If you need help send me a PM. I personally think the PPI is a waste of money but better than nothing if you can't test everything yourself. I have some spare coils and also done door latch work on previous 996.
  13. 987_RDC
    Perhaps grab a seat belt receptical off eBay and swap it in. Clear code and see if it returns?
  14. 987_RDC
    It is a tooling cost given the market size. However, with us showing there is a possiblity of break-even + profit then should be done already.
  15. 987_RDC
    Seems Bosch 710N are recommended
  16. 987_RDC
    If you can find a mechanic w a PIWIS they can check to see if the DME recognizes the immobilizer and key.
  17. 987_RDC
    Buy a paired ECU/Immobilizer/etc from eBay and swap it all in.
  18. 987_RDC
    Curious what the other 3 wires are!
  19. 987_RDC
    Perhaps you can use a multimeter to discover which one shows a resistance to ground that would jive for a thermresistor. If you know where the footwell sensor is then maybe blast with hairdryer and see which wires changes? Measure the one on the bumper as the outside temp sensor to get an idea for the range? Did you go through the 2000 HVAC Schematic and find all other sensors except the footwell one?

    I have a replacement motor $350 shipped
  21. 987_RDC
    The LN tools have a slight bevel on of the faces for both intake/exhaust that make it a bit easier to install. JFP summerizes it well above, more for holding. Are you timing a MK1 or MK2?
  22. 987_RDC
    Or use an ATV jack w/ blocks of wood to bump up lifting height.
  23. 987_RDC
    Wow I spit my coffee out laughing at that first shot. Glad you were able to fix the issue. I'm in SJ also so let me know if you need any help.
  24. 987_RDC
    Adding the elements is quite easy and going aftermarket w own wiring and relay is best. There are pads where you can cut holes and trim to fit the seat cushions. I used zip ties when reassembling where the hog rings were. I will shoot you a PM of my instructions.
  25. 987_RDC
    Buy new keyhead. You will end up spending way too much time if you have already checked normal failure reasons.
