    Your car does not get the new MAF - you should continue to use 996.606.124.00 for all egas Carrera's MY99-01 (except for MY99 C2 non-egas)

    Sorry, I think you need to read your owners manual. "Connect jumper cables in the following sequence: 1. Check electrolyte level of each cell. If necessary, fill with distilled water to just above plates. 2. On a vehicle with a discharged battery: turn off all consumers and accessories, move the gear shift lever into the neutral position and set the parking brake. 3. Attach the positive cable first to the positive terminal 1 of the booster battery A, then to the positive terminal 2 of the discharged battery B. 4. Connect the negative cable first to the negative terminal 3 of the discharged battery B, then to a suitable earthing point 4 on the body of the vehicle with the booster battery. This earthing point must lie as far as possible from the battery. 5. Run the engine of the booster car at a higher speed. 6. Start the engine. An attempted start using jumper cables should not last more than 15 seconds. Then allow a waiting period of at least one minute. 7. With the engine running, remove both jumper cables in the reverse order."

    Please try our search feature -- it works really well. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    Well, if your oil pressure really dropped to zero - your engine would not last long (minutes likely). Oil pressure is primarily mechanical - so it either works or it doesn't. It would be very unusual to have oil pressure actually come and go. Both wires go to the cluster - the sender unit is grounded to the engine case. I do not know of any other oil pressure sensor - so as you said it is likely that it is the sensor or the wiring. As I said before, several folks have had similar problems so it is very likely your problem is the same.

    Yes, there is a TSB on the Trailer Hitch installation. All TSBs are available here for viewing by our Contributing Members. How to become a Contributing Member
  12. Loren
    We have seen a few sender failures - so that would be the most likely failure.

    I don't know if he erased them - might have even been accidental. From what I know... A flashing CEL means that conditions have occurred to cause the CEL to turn on (and flash) -- i.e. a fault (or faults) have occurred. I can't think of any faults that clear immediately once a CEL has been turned on - usually it is a number of drive cycles. Like when you don't tighten your gas cap - you get a CEL and then it clears in the next day or two of driving. What you describe kind of sounds like it might be a VarioCam Plus malfunction or a stuck lifter.

    Hmm... a flashing CEL and no stored faults? Methinks he erased them.

    Thank you for the CR-210 info - I have added it to the FAQ here. For your code try 9008 or 9006 wow, thanks for posting so quickly Loren. Unfortunately, 9006 and 9008 didn't work... I threw in 9010 just for giggles and no go as well. hey Loren, so was my actual number 9008 or 9006? The programs response to your serial number was 9008. But history has told us that the program is sometimes off by 2 numbers. More recently we have see it be off a few numbers.

    Try 1161 or 1159 Thanks for the quick reply but neither of those worked - any other suggestions? Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    Bumper removal is slightly different but most of it should be similar to my 3rd Radiator Install DIY in the 996 mods section. Or have a look at the instructions in the X51 kit TSB. TSB 7/05 1001 Performance Increase Kit Installation Instructions (I-no. X51) -- dated April 12, 2007

    I think you can access them after opening the sunroof. If not, we'll have to ask RFM...

    :welcome: The is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) that covers this. "After replacing the battery, check if the remote control functions. If the remote control does not function, the processor could have stopped. If this is the case, the LED of the remote control either does not light when the button is pressed or it lights continuously, i.e., longer than length of time the button is pressed. The processor must be restarted." "2. Restarting the processor. 2.1 Remove battery as described under Step 1.2. 2.2 Inserting battery briefly with polarity reversed. 2.2.1 After a waiting time of at least 10 seconds, slide battery with the polarity of the battery reversed (positive terminal downwards) under the tab (Figure 1, arrow 2). 2.2.2 Clip battery downward into the holder. 2.2.3 After a waiting time of approx. 3 seconds, remove this incorrectly polarized battery again. 2.3 Install battery as described under Step 1.3. 2.4 Check the function of the remote control."
