  1. I think it is time to check the compression on cylinder 1. You could have a broken piston ring or bent valve.
  2. Is the fuel injector partially plugged or electrically not working for cylinder 1?
  3. I have taken more than 50 of these off and I have yet to seen anything different than what I described.
  4. Injector plugged or intermittent?
  5. I sent you a PM.
  6. Try 7825 or 7823
  7. I'm sure you already thought of this...Homelink in the 997 is the only instance of Homelink that I know of that has to have the ignition turned on to work. Nope my Mercedes is the same way - maybe it is a German car thing.
  8. FYI - those are not Porsche wheels. Porsche spec wheels (in that size) are: 9 x 19 offset 60 mm.
  9. The year is not a factor. Standard knobs pull off - optional knobs (leather/aluminum, carbon fiber, wood, etc.) all have set screws.
  10. I don't think so. Bosch makes the PIWIS for Porsche and they have defended their intellectual property quite often. PIWIS is made in Germany and the volume is so low that I seriously doubt someone would take the time to copy it. Then there are the updates - dealerships/OPCs get updates nightly on the Porsche network.
  11. According to the TSB 17 mm spacers can be on the rear only of a 20" wheel as long as the wheel is 9 inches wide (not 10 inches).
  12. You can go the original number (4674) and add or subject by 2. Sometimes that works - sometimes you have to contact a dealer or Becker.
  13. If it were bad gas - then why does only one cylinder misfires?
  14. I would start by checking the coil pack and spark plug on cylinder 1.
  15. From the Donation page "Once your Donation is verified, it will be processed, and a confirmation e-mail will be sent to your (PayPal) e-mail address. This may take anywhere from a few minutes up to 24 hours." You were upgraded within 2 hours (I was still asleep when your donation came in).
  16. i dont have anything on my drivers side door, but my passenger side door has this info 996.701.423.00. Whats that mean built in 4/23? I have a 1999 c4 Run your VIN through the VIN decoder and it will tell you.
  17. Try 4674 or 4672
  18. 987 approved tires/wheels (summer)
  19. The people that know how to get in and out of the DME(s) is Durametric. They did/do the research to make their excellent code reader/diagnostic tool work very well. My guess is they know the ins and outs but are not likely to want to take responsibility for you re-programming your car and blowing up the engine. I wouldn't want that responsibility either.
  20. Yes, install is covered in TSB 6/04 6629 Child Car Seat Preparation For Front Passenger Seat -- dated Apr 25, 2005. All TSBs are available here to view by our Contributing Members. For more information about how to become a Contributing Member click here.
  21. Try 4630 or 4628

  24. :lol: :lol: :lol: $160 for a USED Owners Manual
  25. It is the behind the "alien eye" looking lens in the upper console.
