    OBD II Pcodes P0154 Oxygen sensor ahead of TWC, bank 2 Potential causes: Open circuit in signal wire or ground wire Oxygen sensor heating not functioning Output stage in DME control module faulty Internal resistance too high Check: – Wiring harness – Oxygen sensor – DME control module P1119 Heating of oxygen sensor ahead of TWC, bank 2 Potential causes: Oxygen Sensor Heating Before TWC, Bank 2 Check: – Open Circuit - Short Circuit - Oxygen Sensor If it is not the wiring then you need a new O2 sensor.

    Just the center console storage. Small but useful.

    :welcome: You will need to check your paint code as both were available. Seal Grey Metallic is code L6B5 Slate Grey Metallic is code 22D All the TT paint colors are here. TT Maintenance Schedules are here

    While the car is still on the ground - remove the large axle nut. Lift the car and after you have the lower ball joint out move the wheel carrier away from the axle. Support the axle with some wire. Do your strut change then reverse the process - you will need to torque the FWD axle nut to 340 ft/lbs (460 Nm).

    We have added and/or updated TSBs in the following categories today (3 total): Boxster (987) - 1 Cayman (987c) - 1 Carrera (997) - 1

    I am in Morgan Hill (just South of San Jose). If you want I can hook up my PST2 and we can test both fans and both speeds. PM me if you want to do this.

    The radiator fan fuses are C8 and C10. I doubt they would run at all with the fuse blown. I wonder if you have a bad fan ballast? Where are you located?
  8. Loren
    For the oil problem - have they run a compression test on each cylinder? 1. Likely a badly worn synchro - I would guess a rebuilt/replacement transmission is the only fix. 2. Have a tech check your car for a voltage drain. 4 years is good battery life for any battery (regardless of cost).

    The kit including the electrical harness, screws, clips etc. is: 996.512.901.02.G2X
  10. Loren
    Yes, you can plot those with the Car Code software. These images I posted ( a year ago) actually came from the Porsche OBD II service manaual.
  11. Loren
    Porsche has had the issue with the crimped hose at least a couple of times. Another possibility is a blow fuse that will shut the vent off. A third possibility is a bad canister/purge valve circuit (that again shuts the vent off - usually you get a CEL with this.
  12. Loren
    No, and I am pretty sure a dealer can not do that with their PST2 or PIWIS tester.
  13. Loren
    They start delivering cars in December (in the US) so it could be any day now. As soon as we have it will be posted here.

    Here is a pic from one of our Moderators. The heat shield is the foil looking stuff around the muffler. You do not need to remove the bumper or jack the car up. Just wait until it is cool or use protective gloves to isolate the rattle. In a few cases there have been broken welds inside the muffler too. (pic courtesy of Orient express)
  15. Loren
    Did you check the heat shields around the mufflers? That is fairly common.
  16. Loren
    Porsche publishes a service information book every year that details the changes for the techs and dealers (fairly technical). For the MY2002 TT the book was 17 pages. Contributing Members here can view the book online.

    If they are factory Litronics then they have self-leveling - if they were added later they do not. The wiring is not present and would be a big pain to add, plus the sensors (front and rear), and the control unit.
  18. Loren
    These have both been been covered here many times - please try using the Search feature. You will need the Durametric Software (about $250) or a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester to reset the airbag light. What is more important is to read the airbag fault code(s) to see what caused it to come on in the first place.
  19. Loren
    No.
  20. Loren
    No, they are the same (at least to my ears).
  21. Loren
    Disconnect the driveshaft at wheel end only. You will also need to remove the lower balljoint. I would drive it around some before alignment so the springs are settled.

    996.552.233.06.A03 Trim for switches (black) -- MSRP $59.03 (in USD as of October 2006)
  23. Loren
    Strange dealer - Porsche says every 20,000 miles.
  24. Loren
    Most of the MY07 Order Guides have been updated today. That also includes the MY06 Cayenne S Titanium edition that will be sold in 2007.

    There was a glitch today with this server (and many others) with time server synchronization. The problem has been corrected but you will see a few posts that will look like they they were written in the future (i.e. 9:00 PM instead of 9:00 AM). This will also cause your New Posts and Mark Forum as Read not to work until the actually time "catches up" with the wrong posting times. So, everything should be working properly again in about 12 hours. Sorry, for the problem but this time server glitch affected thousands if not millions of servers.
