    DO NOT try to take apart a MY02 or newer seat belt - there are pyrotechnic ball belt tensioners in these units. There is a great chance of injury if you try to take them apart. 1 Ball arrester 2 Tube with propellant charge 3 Gas pressure 4 Pistons 5 Pinion 6 Mass body (balls)

    have you tried Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)? They sell just the heads for $88.45— $105.55 Loren, Excuse my ignorance regarding the keys but If I have a "chewed" head of my key can I simply buy a replacement head and do a swop? If so how does all the coding stuff work? Thanks RB Yes if the metal part of your key is fine you can just replace the head. It will need to be programmed by a dealer to match the alarm unit in your car. Any "good" dealer should the programming for $100 or less.

    I answered your PM (on the same subject).

    Have you checked with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)? Otherwise I think you need to look at a salvage yard...

    If it is the fan blast resister - then you cut the wires on the old one and solder or use watertight crimps when installing the new resister. Unless your coil packs are cracked or the electrical connectors are damaged (see the DIY) you should not need to replace anything else.

    :welcome: The 4 relays for the fans are all the same - you can swap them to verify that it is not a relay. If the relay change does not make a difference - then check the stage 2 part of the fan (turn the AC on). If the stage 2 (high speed) fan works - the problem is likely the fan ballast resister on that side. The spark plug DIY is here (you do not need to remove the read bumper).

    Those are correct - now you will need to choose the right shims ;)

    Try 1218 or 1216 Hi Loren, Both codes did not work. 1218 and 1216 Do you have any more suggestions? Thanks allott, Larry C Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  13. Loren
    Are you trying to get more caster or more camber?
  14. Loren
    Try 0562 or 0560

    CDR-23 radios are synch'ed to the car. So if you change radios you must re-synch it using a PST2 or PIWIS.

    :welcome: Many auto parts stores sell a pump that fits right on the end of the gear oil bottle that allows you to pump the contents into transmission.

    Yes, it appears that (a properly installed) 997 RMS seal seems to solve "most" RMS problems. The IMS seal fix is usually not a seal issue but a mounting bolts. It is unusual to have one of these leak again also. If both have been done on your car and there is no sign of further leaks - then I would leave them alone.
  18. Loren
    Try 8404 or 8402
  19. Loren
    Try 1218 or 1216
  20. Loren
    From the experiences I have heard from folks with the 997 seal - so far - yes.

    955.044.800.78 Rear Apron Set -- US MSRP $1477.99
  22. Loren
    Sorry, but I think you are going to need a shop a with a PST2 or PIWIS tester - this is an odd one.
  23. Loren
    19 and 21 are the stage 1 fan relays (low speed). 20 and 22 are the stage 2 fan relays (high speed). They are all the same part number so they are all interchangeable.

    I was going from what the sales brochure said - it specifically refers to ESItronic and does not mention Porsche in the brochure. A PST2 is worth what it is worth to you -- depending on how much you use it. Remember that a PST2 only covers cars through MY2004 - so nothing newer and there will not be any updates. Dealer price on a new PST2 was $4000 ($8000 to independent shops) - so I guess that could be your guide.
  25. Loren
    I think that (KTS 200) does what the older ESItronic software did. Bosch sold a laptop (or PC desktop) version of software for most European cars that did most of the basic OBD II diagnostics and then a few more "special features" for the models covered. If you notice Porsche is not on their list. Unless you work on those other models on a daily basis it would not make sense to me. JMHO.
