That worked! Thank you so much!

I had a similar problem on 996 and the Error Code pointed to a particular cylinder misfire. Replacing the coil solved the issue. The matter is if you have 2-3 misfires here and there the ECU will not throw the code as to throw the error code out the error needs to repeat itself 3 consecutive times and there are thresholds for every kind of errors like a particular number of misfires are counted as 1 error so with 2-3 misfires then the engine works normal (failing coil) the error counter resets and there is no check engine light. But you can scan if there are errors on your particular cylinder without the Check Engine lit up.

What the 2 protective films 996 537 337 00 on the bottom of the inner side of the bare door are for?

A P0008 trouble code indicates an Engine Position System Performance issue in Bank 1. This means the engine control module (ECM) has detected a problem with the alignment or synchronization of the crankshaft and camshaft(s) in the first bank of cylinders. This can be caused by: A sticky or dirty VVT solenoid - I would change the oil and see if it gets better. Or depending on the mileage the VVT solenoid might need to be replaced.

I've had problems with my 2007 4.8S Cayenne. At full operating temp I get delayed starting and then the EML came on. She then started stalling and has also started misfiring. Normally she starts on the button from cold and stalls after about 20 mins of driving but then doesn't stall again after the restart. My mechanic pulled a P0008 code and he has suggested replacing the VVT solenoid. I was also going to replace both the cam & crank position sensors at the same time. Has anyone else had this issue and, if so, what fixed your issue? Also is there just one VVT solenoid per bank?

Just had the battery disconnected on my 2002 911 Carrera 4 and am now in need of my radio code. Any help would be greatly appreciated! CR220 Type: 4362 Serial No : 15004999 Thank you! Haley

Hey Loren. It does work. I just needed to push the up arrow after putting in the code. Thanks so much. Alan

Are you sure your serial number is correct? The suggested number did not work - what do I do now? Most often when the code we give you does not work it is because the serial number came from an old card in the car rather than from the procedure stated above - or a typo in the serial number submitted. Double check the serial number you submitted using the procedure above again. If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers also charge. Our program works maybe 99.9% of the time but we have no explanation why it doesn't always work.

0610 did not work. The first 0 just starts to blink again.

Decided not to just go off what the PIWIS was telling me and get some measurements on my own, I unpinned the DME 7.8 wires connector C8,C24 for potentiometer 2,1 respectively and measured their voltage with key on. According a white paper I found on the Bosch throttlebodies these pots should be 5v-0v and 0v-5v ranges, sweeping through the ranges as the throttlebody moves so they should always be in agreement or within a specified tolerance of each other through the range. This doesn't match the 16v the DME is seeing. At this point just planning to send it off to ECU drs.

is there any fix or guidance to this? I am in the UK, it recently popped up, last time I have seen it it was ~2 years ago and was due to a bad battery, I am pretty sure the battery is bad again (mate tested it it the other day) but I disconnected the battery in hopes it would clear the fault (only disconnected the negative)

In 1973 there was both a 62 liter fuel tank and an optional 85 liter tank. You might either check the volume or part number if possible.

I am planning on replacing the fuel tank on my 1973.5 011T with CIS and am wondering what the proper replacement options are. My concern is that as a CIS IT might have different plumbing, barbs, etc. compared to other carburated and MFI long hoods. Similarly, the 1974 thru 1982(?) CIS G-Bodies might have a different tank as well (didn; they have a donut or inflatable spare). Any insight onto whether my half-year CIS model has a take un ique compared to the 1965-early 1973 or 1974+ cars would be most appreciated.

I need a radio code for 98 Boxster. Becker CDR-210. Serial # W5020336 other numbers. BE2282 and R3297. Thank you for helping me.

Thank You so much!

My seat control module makes a clicking sound. Of different places, when I use the knob. And the seat motors don't seem like they're getting any power.

Hi I have exactly the same problem did you ever find the cause?

Hello, new to Porsche and PIWIS but plenty of experience with other vehicles. Thanks in advance for the help here. 2000 Boxter S. Car runs fine as far as I know, not troubleshooting anything, it's just new to me and I'm going through all the baseline health checks. I have 2 questions- 1) Measuring the cam deviation doesn’t result in a number that changes if I rev in neutral. Just a static #. 1:-4.7⁰ 2: 1.2⁰. Now, from what I figure, the # shouldn't change while revving unless you're seeing it go further out of original spec in front of your eyes. Correct? Or should it move? I have an "offline" PIWIS 3 running on a virtual machine, with a Chinese link. Everything else works great- menus are a little slow, but functional otherwise. 2)I tried to actuate the variocam under active drive links. If I execute, the idle drops very momentarily and I get an error in the PIWIS field- Negative control unit response, "conditionnotcorrect or requestsequenceerror". Value 29000. Am I setting it up improperly? Thank you

Both the keys and the Immobilizer need to be coded to the DME, which requires both a PIWIS system and the factory code ID tags for both, which you will never find with used components and why the recommendation to swap all together. Porsche purposely made the system difficult to prevent vehicle theft.

also as i'm looking around online to find another DME, how difficult is it to adapt immobilizers, im seeing a lot of information thats saying just swap keys/alarm modules/dme's all together. In the vw/audi world if you have the right skc/pin code you can adapt immobilizers, is this the same with porsche?

Needing some help with where to go on troubleshooting a P1502 code. I'll start off with the details on the car and then the troubleshooting I've performed so far. The Car: 2001 Boxster base, manual trans. The motor was swapped to a 2003 motor, also 2.7. I acquired the car 90% swapped. The car had been sitting for I'm guessing about 5 yrs when the previous owner's mechanic had given up on the swap/wiring. I used this site and other resources online to find the DME 7.2/7.8 differences and match up the correct wiring to where the car would crank. Was immediately obvious that I had gotten it all wired it up correctly hearing the fuel pump cycle and the throttle body whine as it waiting for key turn. Shortly after starting noticed that chocolate milk coolant was spewing out of the overflow bottle, I had another thread on here where I found the oil cooler was bad, while installing this i also noticed that the radiator overflow hose was swapped with the coolant bottle overflow drain hose (glad this was the case or I wouldn't have found the broken oil cooler until it was mixing pretty thoroughly in the crank case). Now with all the fluids in sealed in their respective places I began the process of bleeding the cooling system per the bentley manual. Halfway through the warm up the car started stumbling, the check engine light came on, and the gas pedal became ineffective and like many of the P1502 threads on here wouldn't rev over 2k rpm. Troubleshooting: -Immediately noticed no more whine from the throttle body with key on, suspected maybe my wiring was incorrect, went back and checked every pin, ohmed them out, verified the DME was feeding 5v to the TB. Everything was correct. -Tried another known good TB -Searched on here saw thread about B+ shorts and bad fuel pump relay. Tested those circuits. -Saw some people had success cycling the key a bunch of times, tried this, no dice. -Using a Piwis setup from a friend ran codes, got P1502, P1517, P1516, when trying to clear them the software says its unable to clear them and occasionally get a P0638 in there. -Using Piwis reading value from the pedal which showed what I believe to be a correct sweep from 0-100% -Using Piwis read values on the throttle body, and manually moved the throttle plate, once again saw a good reading from 0-100% At this point I'm leaning toward a bad motor driver in the ECU that's not powering the stepper in the throttle body. I really have no way of verifying this and I'd like to confirm the diagnosis before just firing up the parts cannon.
