    A normal gap will work - but I have only seen one 4 prong plug that needed the gap set (and I think tool Pants dropped that one - :lol: :lol: )

    :thumbup:

    Please do a search this has been covered here...

    Model year car? US or RoW? Standard front bumper or aerokit?

    I would start by inspecting the the cable connection on the transmission. One cable is for forward gears the other is for reverse. If everything there looks good then you need to remove the center console and check the cable connection and the bottom of the gear selector to see if the gimbal joint is worn or crackedc.

    Try 996.559.729.00 bracket for flap (4 per car)

    In a 997 the schematic shows both rear fog lights are wired to the rear control unit. This would imply that you could just move the bulb from one side to the other. If doing that does not work then they might have to program the rear CU with a PIWIS.

    To get Homelink to synch with some of the newer rolling code garage openers you need to press a button on the main opener unit (mounted on the ceiling) and then press your Homelink button within 30 seconds. Might be best to have two people unless you are fast down the ladder ;)

    Thanks to all that made it to the Work on Cars Day! I enjoyed it and it looks like we have some really good project for next time (we need a volunteer photographer). Please start a new thread with your projects for next time so that we can schedule up the work location.

    Chuck is having computer problems and asked me to post some pics of his new baby...

    Try 5554 or 5556

    Year and model of your car? US or RoW car? (the alarms are different) Generally speaking... Alarm Fault code 25 No pin 86 S recognized Possible cause of fault - Pin 86 S is not detected when terminal 15 is switched on - Fuse E1 faulty - Short circuit to ground/open circuit in wiring between the alarm system control module and the ignition lock - Ignition lock faulty

    RTV (silicone) is better that tub n' tile caulk. You might want to try and find a rubber grommet and seal between the grommet and the wires.
  15. Loren
    If you are talking about the (all) rubber ones - they are for the heater core. So, you might lose some coolant.

    I personally would only use the Porsche part - it's only about 30 cents. I would hate to lose all of my oil because of something like that.

    geoff - that page/site clearly states it is for "authorised companies" and prices are only in Euros - so that implies not US. Certainly Porsche knows that ceasing to provide this information is a violation of EPA's Service Information Rule - 2003 Final Rule. Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 86 Control of Air Pollution From Motor Vehicles and New Motor Vehicle Engines; Final Rule -- dated June 27, 2003 Porsche has been in borderline non-compliance from the start as they were very late to provide this site. And, they also failed to meet the EPA guideline for providing that information at "fair and reasonable charges for access to online service information". For example: Porsche was more than double the recommended long term access of $2500/year. Does Porsche has something new in mind - or do independent shops and DIY'ers have to file a complaint with the EPA?

    MY01 and 02 TT are PCM1 but it is not a MOST system. MOST was introduced in MY03 (along with PCM2). Porsche does not sell individual parts for the PCM systems - your best luck might be a wrecking yard or someone that has removed their PCM 1. The removal of the horseshoe component is the same for Boxster, Carrera, and GT2/GT3 and TT. It has been covered many times here.

    1. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...=maint_menu_car 2. Yes, the center console will need to come out to change out the handbrake. Probably a little more than 1 hour for all the work. 3. You can install it yourself in less than an hour (with hooking up the high beam control units). Folks that don't hook up the control units can install the headlights in about 5 minutes (instructions are in your owners manual).

    Some of the part numbers have been updated from the TSB. If you have a MY03 you should use Aerokit II parts - which uses double-sided tape.
  21. Loren
    Porsche use Teflon tape and felt tape to solve rattles and squeaks.
  22. Loren
    That makes a lot of sense - thanks for closing the loop on this (in more ways than one ;) )

    I only know of two or three tools that will clear an airbag code. The least expensive is the Durametric Software (about $255) next would be a PST2 (about $3300 used), a Baum Tool (about $4000 for the one that will rest Porsche airbags), or a PIWIS factory tool (about $18,000/year leased). I have a PST2 and many other members have a PST2 or Durametirc software - so perhaps one of us can help you out. Where are you located?
  24. Loren
    OBD II codes? For what model year? Did you look at the the Quick Menu -> OBD II P-Codes?
  25. Loren
    That part number is too short. Perhaps you mean 996.559.980.01.G2X Right Aerokit Cup sideskirt. You can buy the epoxy, and the various other small parts to attach them. See the TSB called Aerokit Cup Installation (all the part numbers are there).
