Hi there! according to https://911virgin.com/engine-revs/ and other sources on a 996 GT3 - range 1 is 8200-8800 - range 2 is 8800+ so I hope I am wrong because that would be excellent. thanks !

Thank you!

Range 1: 7300-7500 RPM Range 2: 7500-7700 RPM Range 1 is likely hitting the rev limiter while accelerating. Likely safe. I would not worry about any of those Range 2 over revs either - likely one missed downshift could do that.

I'm curious, I just completed a plug & coil replacement on a 2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S [at 40K miles] , by myself, with a pretty basic garage and tool set and took me almost 10 hours over two days. The challenges I faced were substantially in removing the two rear heat shield bolts over the plugs on both sides, AND the three bolts on the passenger side VTG. While accessible, the quarters were very confined... BUT the big issues was the TIGHTNESS of these bolts... All of these bolts "pinged" when they finally broke free. The difficulty in getting the rear heat shield bolts restarted was also a time consuming challenge for me! Maybe I'm just out of practice working on cars?. Should these bolts be replaced, the ones that were so f*cking tight and "pinged" upon loosening? That is what took the two days.... I sprayed with blaster and WD-40 and let them set overnight? I used liberal amounts of anti-seize compound upon the reassembly... but??? I can't believe these bolts were not over-torqued... but maybe heat, and no anti-seize could have something to do with it?? The heat shield reassembly was my down fall the left side rear shield.... one bolt I dropped numerous times attempting to start with the tips of my fingers... one time the bolt didn't fall to the ground and spent about 1 hour looking for it with my little magnet. It was ultimately found on top on the exhaust header.... had to find it or I was done?? Could not find a comparable bolt anywhere in extensive collection of metric bolts... YIKES?!?!?! An E-torx socket with a wobble extension and a universal attachment wouldn't work on the heat shield rear bolt, used a 8mm box end hand wrench to loosen, held with a ViceGrip pliers & reinstall, just with the box end wrench... but a devil to get these bolts started....... but, Ultimately success! Strategies for a better process or tools are welcome.

Sorry, I am such a noob! 2004 996.2 GT3, now I got the details (I guess I overestimated my memory :-D); Range 1 approximately. 37000 ignitions Range 2 approximately 4200 ignitions @ 703 hours Car has now approx. 780 hours I checked with my PIWIS the cam. dev. and both are in norm at bank 1 - 0 degrees bank 2 - 3 degrees.

Model and year of the car please...

Hi there, I am considering a car Range 1 3000 ignitions Range 2 600 ignitions Should I be concerned ?

Good day need help to retrieve radio code Becker 1 CDR-220 CDP2081 4462 X5029448 thank you

Both the low and high pressure switches must be in the closed position in order for there to be a complete electrical circuit to engage the compressor clutch. I would be looking for continuity across the terminals on the switch, which would indicate that closed position.

Were you able to find a TSB to fix the random odometer reset? My local dealer said that he couldn’t find a TSB for the PCCM +. The odometer fix over in the UK about 4 years ago was done by the local Porsche OPC with help from Germany. The customer was given a SIM card to insert into the PCM+ with the new firmware. A PIWIS was not required to load the patch.

I found that one, have 12 volts at the connector, is there any readings i should be checking for on the switch itself? i.e. ohms, continuity etc? thx

Every ECU must be programmed for your car keys and your car's options (including country). They are not plug-n-play.

Integrated Antenna System The Cayenne employs an integrated antenna system for audio, central locking system, navigation, telephone and parking heater. There are differences between two available antenna systems: the Basic System and the Diversity System. The central locking antenna is always part of every system. However, antennas for the parking heater remote control, the navigation system and telephone antenna can be installed depending upon vehicle equipment. Up to 13 non-visible antennas can be installed in the rear area of the Cayenne. Electronic components such as antenna amplifier, diversity control module and GPS antenna are located in the rear spoiler. All components in the rear spoiler are waterproof. Components, particularly the GSM and GPS antenna, have been optimally located in the spoiler. The high placement considerably enhances the signal reception. This results in wider range and less interference. Base Antenna System The base antenna system consists of a 70 cm long antenna injected into the lower shell of the spoiler. The related AM/FM antenna is positioned to the right in the spoiler. Antenna Diversity Antenna Diversity belongs to the PCM product range. The system is made up of the base system AM/FM antenna as well as 3 additional FM antennas integrated into the rear window. Antenna Diversity has a single standard AM amplifier and 2 FM antenna amplifiers. Two modules are integrated into the spoiler. On the right is the Antenna Diversity control module, and on the left is the second module with the 2 FM antenna amplifiers. This system ensures that the best-positioned antenna always receives the FM signals. The system is not designed for AM reception, since switching the antennas would create audible interference. If one antenna does not have an adequately usable signal or has too much interference, the switch is made to another antenna. One of the antennas is specified as the primary antenna and is activated directly. Quality fluctuations in this wave band are further minimized in this way.

Has anyone had this problem? I am a talk radio junkie but have to listen via iHeart on my phone, either bluetooth or a cord. Should I buy an antenna booster?

Do the 987.1 ECUs require registering a new ECU to the system? I purchased a spare ECU 997 618 603 02 which is a Motronic ME 7.8 from the same 2006 Boxster 2.7L as mine to just to have it for just in case and when I plugged it in to test it out, the engine was not starting up, no even starter clunking in. I do have a spare ECU for my '99 Ferrari and I can swap 'em any time and both of them do work just being plugged in. Those are Bosch Motronic 5.2 though.

Should be under the windshield cowling where the battery sits.

Help needed! 2 year owner of the 1998 986 base, no real issues then last month the battery dies. Charged via charger, after that left on a tender. 1 week later, no AC. I have gone thru all of the motions, no codes other than 02 sensors to address, fuses check, new relay check (no change), static AC pressure check 120/35 (compressor not running, holds, no leaks present). Separate 12v source to check AC clutch check (pulls in), 12v at low pressure switch - is there another high pressure switch im missing? 12 volts at relay. CCU works as intended- i think, blower works, snowflake etc.. What am i missing?! next step is to remove controls, clean contacts and reinstall. Did i fry something with the battery tender? All help is appreciated!!!

Back story. Battery died, charged it, left tender on it for another week or so, then bam no AC? WTH.

I'm in the same boat! I've replaced relays, fuses, static pressure is holding @120+- on high side, jumped 12v to clutch (pulls in), verified 12v at low pressure switch My next move will be to remove the AC controls, clean contacts, reinstall although it seems to work just fine, blower, readout etc.... is there a high pressure switch somewhere?
