    Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  2. Loren
    The 4th stalk sits below the turn signal stalk (similar to the cruise control on the right side of the steering wheel). The 4th stalk controls the display for the OBC (On Board Computer) which gives you outside air temp, mileage info, speed gong, etc.. See your Owners Manual for details of what OBC function are in your model year car. This OBC hack (mod) process is a common add on for many owners. Step one is to have someone turn the OBC function on in your car (using a PST2 or PIWIS tester).

    The process is the same for 996 and 997.

    Porsche has a couple of paint manuals but I do not have access to them. Check with your local dealer and see if they have these and if you could look at them. That would likely be a good place to start.

    Try 0938 or 0936

    IMHO - It is something you want to get addressed right away. Sometimes when an IMS seal lets loose it can dump all of your oil in a matter of seconds.

    There are no plastic rivets on the front bumper - there are plastic rivets on the wheel liners. 999.507.497.40 plastic rivet -- US MSRP $0.31 each

    Without the fault code(s) it is anybodies guess. You need to get eht fault codes read and report back here.

    MY2002 BOSE
  10. Loren
    Fault code 9115 Air-conditioning control module Possible cause of fault: - Open circuit of CAN-high Comfort - Open circuit of CAN-low Comfort - Air-conditioning control module faulty You are likely going to need someone with a PST2 or PIWIS for further diagnosis.

    In most cases it is fine to just top up the oil level. The RMS does not leak any oil when it is changed. The IMS does leak oil (since it is lower on the crankcase) when changed. If they change the IMS then they can catch the oil and reuse it.
  12. Loren
    Have you tried a search here? I have posted the BOSE diagram several times.

    Try 5565 or 5563

    You need to do the buckles and the ground wires under the drivers seat. Theoretically the later buckles should be the gold plated ones - let us know how they work out.
  15. Loren
    Depends... if your car has telephone prep (and most US cars did). Then it should be on the E-Handy connector under the passenger seat. Should be a Yellow wire with Black stripe (A4 of the handy connector).

    Try our Search feature next time - it works very well. How to remove fuel filler door

    The drain plug will depend on your exact transmission model. Best check with JeffClark at sunsetimports.com
  20. Loren
    Loren, As always your valuable insight is much appreciated. Last time I changed the tranny oil, I remember the fill and drain plugs were up for replacement next time. Do you have part numbers for these two items? Regards JP Why would the plugs need replacing? Or are you planning on damaging them? Porsche even says to reuse the sealing washer on the fill plug.
  21. Loren
    Try 9112 or 9110

    Please use the one Lost Radio Code topic. This thread is now closed.

    The Service Reminder can be reset with the Durametric Software (about $247) or by any shop (or owner) with a PST2 or PIWIS. The original method only seemed to work on a few of the early cars.
  24. Loren
    How old is your battery? If it is 4 years or older - then it's time for a new one. Have it tested (specific gravity) if you are unsure. Any other strange electrical problems? - if there are then you could have a bad ignition switch. Might not hurt to check the cables on the starter and the starter solenoid - as well as the engine to chassis grounds.

    Try 2340 or 2338
