Battery maintenance for all newer models has been updated (987, 987c, 997, 997 GT3, 997 TT/GT2, CGT).

    If you want a really tight fit then have a body shop epoxy glue them in place. That is the way the original factory aerokits were and they fit very tight. The reason I say body shop is that if you use the epoxy glue then they will need to be clamped/taped in place for 24 hours to cure.

    It is not the MAF - the MAF does nothing at idle. Chancers are you have a carbon buildup around the throttle butterfly. On egas cars there is no idle control valve like the older cars - instead the throttle butterfly is opened just slightly to maintain and control the idle. If you look at the pic I posted above - that is Tariq's car and he had exactly the same problem. On the outside if you look at that throttle body it does not look to bad. But if you push the throttle butterfly open you would see carbon buildup all around the butterfly seating surfaces. Once we cleaned this off his idle was rock stable. You could try some Techron in the gas but the best short term fix is to clean the throttle body with some spray card/fuel injector cleaner (keep it off the paint). You will need to push the butterfly open with your finger to clean inside. Let it dry for a few minutes then start the car. I find a bottle of Techron every 3000 miles or really helps prevent the buildup.

    Hello, I have the same problem, I wasn't aware of the unlock codes for the radio when I changed the battery. Becker CDR 220 type BE 4462 serial # X5023044 Thanks for your help :) Try 8967 or 8965

    I sent you a PM...

    Sounds like it needs the throttle body cleaned.

    Yes, unfortunately when you go to the reviews section you may need to login again. The two systems (forums and reviews) are supposed to share the member database. But when the forum software was upgraded to a better security model the reviews software sometimes does not get passed the same information. So the bottom line is - you may have to login tot the Reviews section too.

    A MY03 should have the new cap. You don't need to replace it unless it is leaking.
  9. Loren
    Try 5650 or 5648

    The Becker after market connector diagram is here.
  11. Loren
    All the factory radios are Becker so someone that knows your after market radio will have to help out. Was the amp changed with the after market head? The BOSE system could have come with either the Harmon amp or the BOSE amp. The amp is in the front trunk - you will need to find the label and see what it is.

    Welcome It would be very helpful to know the model year of your car? It would also help to us the model number on the front of your radio. Under your front hood is a sticker with some codes on it - these are option codes. You need to write those down and check them with our option lists here to see what options are on the car.

    If it is just one cylinder then it pretty much has to be the coil, the wire, or the spark plug.

    The engine compartment purge fan rarely comes on. Mine has only come on twice -- and I live in 90 plus degree California! Here are the conditions the fan comes on at. From the service manual... "Switch-on conditions for engine compartment fan (this fan pulls air into the engine compartment) The engine compartment fan is switched on when the engine compartment temperature is > 176 degrees F or the coolant temperature is > 216 degrees F. After-running of engine compartment fan If the ignition is switched off and the engine compartment temperature is more than 140 degrees F, the DME control module remains in readiness for another 20 minutes. During this time, the engine compartment temperature is retrieved every 10 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is > 185 degrees F , the engine compartment fan is switched on for 20 seconds. If the engine compartment temperature is still > 185 degrees F after this time, the fan remains on for a further 30 seconds."

    Just to be sure... Item 9?

    According to the 2004 Anniversary Edition Product Book.

    Harry, That valve lets air out of the system but not coolant (bleed valve with a membrane). The only way I see it could have had an affect is if you had trapped air that could not be released.
  19. Loren
    In every case I have seen MUST put a battery maintainer on the car to program it. I think this is a safety feature so that you don't corrupt the DME.
  20. Loren
    1. Do you have a charger on the car? The PST2 (or PIWIS) will not let you program the DME, alarm, or keys unless it sees a voltage above 12 volts. 2. So you are trying to put a DME 5.2.2 non-egas DME in an egas car?
  21. Loren
    Sorry, we can't help with codes for PCM 1. You will need to go to a dealer/OPC.

    The GT3 Mk1 was not sold in the US or Canada. IMHO the GT3 engine is the most rugged and reliable currently produced. Yes, it is low and the coilovers will give a rougher ride than a Carrera. I don't recall the interior noise being any better or worse than a Carrera. IMHO the 997 GT3 is quite a bit more sophisticated that the 996 GT3. The 996 GT3 was a little more "raw racecar". Have a look at the 997 GT3 Technical Brochure in the Contributing Members Forum for 49 pages of detail.

    Very nicely done pongobaz! Do have small hands - because several folks have said those screws are nearly impossible to get to.
  24. Loren
    A MY02 should have the newer cap. Turns out some of the black caps don't show a part number (as we found out today).
