    Bits and pieces from a time long ago... I think on my '76 911S the advance was mechanical but the vacuum on the side just plugged the hole. I may have to see if I can find any old pictures...
  2. Loren
    We are really testing my memory here... but as I recall it is not used. As I recall when they went with the CD ignition the CD took care of the advance.

    I have sent you a PM with a VIN report I had run for you. This should tell you want was ordered (and delivered) on the car.
  4. Loren
    For legal reasons you are not allowed to copy or print the TSBs. They are for online viewing only.
  5. Loren
    Pretty much yes. Please make sure the fan is off when you do this... ;)

    A couple of Boxster folks (same HVAC unit) have found the noise to be weatherstripping falling down into the air inlet under the pollen filter - then flapping on the fan. I would certainly check there first. Only in a very cases has it been a motor problem.
  7. Loren
    I would think so if it stuck open. If it were stuck closed the car would not idle at all (no air).
  8. Loren
    As I recall it rotates like a little door. If it is stuck or sometimes the solenoid goes bad then you need to replace it. Have you checked with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for a better price?
  9. Loren
    Here you go... I hope you are not trying to put this in an older car because the 9x7 series uses a completely different circuit - including a PAS (Porsche Access System) controller.

    The parts list says it will only work a 997. I do not know why. It also says: "*997 642 131 05 FMH control part volcano grey/black mat F >>995S7 16151 F >>995S7 41124 see technical information GR. 9 , NR. 7/04 Part has successor (1:1) *997 642 131 06 FMH control part" This says that only for serial number sequences (shown as F >>). It also says it was replaced by 997 642 131 06 FMH

    I would start by looking under the dash to see if any wires are dangling down. Did they remove the instrument cluster for the SC install? If so they might have disconnected something there.

    996.613.535.00 light switch -- Retail $112.21 Try the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for a much better price.
  13. Loren
    Then it may be the switch/cable on the Tiptronic. I think you might need a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS to test that.
  14. Loren
    I would check for a loose sway bar too.

    Hmm... are you sure they did not unplug the harness to the steering wheel? All of those faults relate to switches in the steering wheel except for the brake light switch fault - that would be the spoiler harness.
  17. Loren
    I think Cruise Control as a standard option is only for USA/Canada cars. At least that is how it was in the past. Perhaps he has an RoW car - he did not say...
  18. Loren
    1. Unclip the switch covers from below and let them dangle from the electric leads. 2. Press together both spring clamps on the display and operator control unit and carefully pull out. 3. Disconnect electrical plug connections from the display and operator control unit.
  19. Loren
    The older radios have a fuse on the back so I would look for one.
  20. Loren
    Ok, so the reverse lights don't work... that means that the ParkAssist is never getting the reverse signal - that makes sense. You need to check the switches for the Tiptronic. Does the cluster light come on in reverse ®?
  21. Loren
    Hmm... you can try 2 digits sequences each side of the number I gave you... or you will need to call a dealer.
  22. Loren
    I agree it is likely not too hard with the right parts. The visor has no wires that go to it - all electrical contact is made through the metal clips when it is seated (see pic). You will need the clips with the connectors built in and then run +12 volts and ground to a switched connection (986.731.541.01 mounting plate - 2 each; and 999.919.120.09 oval head screw - 2 each). And the visors - 986.731.031.13.EBY Left visor (with light) in black and 986.731.032.13.EBY Right visor (with light) in black. Be sure and take some pics and post them here for the next guy/gal.

    If you do not want to do it yourself then consider an independent Porsche shop. Usually your local PCA knows the good ones.
  24. Loren
    Try 2609 or 2607 Neither of those codes worked. I may have been wrong about the model number - it reads out R2896 on the display. Would this change the suggested codes, or are they based on the serial number only? Thanks again. Where did you get your serial number? off the radio or through the serial number display? or?
  25. Loren
    I am aware he is from the UK - I was merely suggesting that he try and get his OPC to fix it for free - as goodwill (warranty) service. Porsche pays for many these every year and some good dealerships (OPCs) paid for some too. It never hurts to ask.
