    The power bleeder sure is a handy way to bleed the brakes but can be don't with two people. I do not recommend bleeding the clutch (which is in the same circuit) without a power bleeder though.
  2. Loren
    With or without PASM?

    1975,1976, and 1977 were all 3 liter cars 1978 began the 3.3 liter cars. If you want to be sure get the serial number from the engine (case) and I will look it up.

    Not that I am aware of. The radio needs a code from the cars DME (engine computer) via MOST (fiber optic network) to run.
  5. Loren
    Try 3312 or 3310

    I do not know and I don't have one here to look at. If it is a Porsche OEM seat belt then it has the pyrotechnic tensioners.

    Technically it looks like it will fit any narrow body 996 (no C4S). The matching front bumper will not fit a MY02 and car because the headlight and fender openings changed.

    There should be a fuse diagram on the back of the fuse door panel (down by your left). You will likely have to remove the fuse and hold it to light to see if it is blown (or measure it's continuity with a meter). If you want power for your V1 use the telephone prep connector that is in all US/Canada cars. It has switched (power off when ignition is off) and unswitched (power always on). I think you want switched power for your V1 so it will not run your battery down. The cigarette light is unswitched power - so it is always on. Do a search here the telephone prep connector and V1 installation have been covered many times.

    Model and year of car please?
  10. Loren
    XZN108 which I believe is 8 mm.
  11. Loren
    I have this same set shown here... http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=81630 You eBay or Google for "VIM Tools 8 Piece XZN Triple Square Metric 3/8" Drive"

    PST2 and PIWIS are both Porsche diagnostic computers - most good shops have one or both. Yes, check the fans using the tester.
  13. Loren
    Any chance there is water under the drivers seat (where the control box is)?
  14. Loren
    Um... where are you located? It is pretty unusual to lose a fan motor. It would be best if you can find someone with a PST or PIWIS to confirm your findings.
  15. Loren
    I agree there could be a small amount of blue left in the ABS/PSM if you flush it yourself. But, a dealer has a PST2 and or PIWIS so their flush procedure should clear the ABS/PSM. I still can't find an excuse for the dealer - other than they didn't do it.
  16. Loren
    Anyone with a PST2 or PIWIS can program a key for you - provide the key head has the tag with it's unique number and an IPAS code from Porsche. You can not program a key with a special IPAS code directly from Porsche (theft protection). Some OPS's might get the IPAS number for you but some won't.

    I am not sure what you mean about the DME km and the cluster km. I don't recall the DME keeping km traveled. The number after Number of ignitions, range 1 (or 2) is the engine operating hour of the last over rev.
  18. Loren
    Look at the door striker and see if it has any unusual wear compared to the other side.
  19. Loren
    Stage 1 ignitions are pretty normal results of hitting the rev limiter. We do not know for sure but we believe that since they are categorized as "ignitions" that for one engine revolution (in say 1 second) you would get 6 ignitions. Either way these are "safe" over revs because the rev limiter protected the engine. I would not worry about the number. Stage 2 ignitions are over revs the rev limiter can not protect against - such as a missed downshift. In some cases Porsche may deny warranty claims if there are many stage 2 over revs - as they are viewed as signs of abuse. i have seen cars with hundreds and thousands of stage 2 over revs. i certain would worry about 8.

    Have you checked your door striker latch to make sure it is not mis-aligned and moving the door position when closing?
  21. Loren
    Did you have a look at the TSBs? There are couple related to door rattles.
  22. Loren
    Try 8957 or 8955
  23. Loren
    The car is a flat 6 cylinder - so the cylinders (and pistons) are horizontal. It is fairly normal to have a little oil leak by the rings when the engine is not running. Then when you start the engine it burns off the oil.
  24. Loren
    Not if you buy from Sunset... I completed the replacement, but none of the buttons on that panel work now (including door locks). It's pretty sweet when things like this happen for no reason. Any suggestions? Are you sure everything is plugged in the right places and there are no blown fuses?
  25. Loren
    Yes, there is a good chance there are more codes (not hidden - just more). If you notice all of you problem are on one side (bank) if the engine. This could be a an intake air leak on that side or bad adjusted camshaft control for that side. If the it is a badly adjusted camshaft control then the adaptation values in area 1 differ in bank 1 and bank 2 (e.g. TRA=0.02/TRA2=0.27). The adaptation values for area 2 are generally normal. If this is the case the camshaft control needs to be reset - then recheck the adaption values.
