    If you just want to read and reset codes - Durametric Software (on your notebook computer) works very well - about $250. A Porsche PST2 (version 24) can program some but not all modules - occasionally available on eBay - about $3000-$4000 . A Porsche PIWIS tester can do it all - about $18,000 per year (lease) from any Porsche dealer.

    I would have them test the RPM crankshaft position sensor.
  3. Loren
    Yes, in the DME.

    All Boxsters (and Carreras) have CAN (Controller Area Network) bus items that are used for controller to controller communication (i.e. DME to Tiptronic, Instrument Cluster, PCM, PSM, POSIP (airbags), etc.). Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controller_Area_Network. MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) is a networking standard intended for interconnecting multimedia components. So your sound system (radio/Nav, amp, CD player, etc.) use the MOST bus. Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Oriente...stems_Transport

    The speedometer A signal is a grey/pink wire on relay socket 23 BS 1/1.

    Has anyone done a compression test?
  7. Loren
    Put the stock intake back on - clear the code and see if it comes back. My guess is that it won't - and you will want your money back from EVO. I went through this 3 years ago and they could never make it work on my car with a CEL. I returned mine.

    I would have them check the fluid level and see if the shop can duplicate it.

    C2 or C4? and item numbers from below
  11. Loren
    You can't code/change anything unless the model code is the DME. You need the proper fiber optic cable(s) depending on your options. (This is for a LHD MY04 Boxster - other years/models may vary) I do not know if having OBC on makes any difference. It is simple enough to do - in two places - DME and instrument cluster.
  12. Loren
    Did they activate navigation in the instrument cluster? Did you get the right fiber optic cables for your cars previous configuration? For the speakers they must not have tested the MOST configuration or they would have noticed the rear speakers were missing? Sounds like they need to walk back through all of the MOST devices.

    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect June 2006 pricing for both the US and Canada. We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For June 2006 the price lists support - US: 204,479 parts Canada: 204,476 parts Choose your price list from the drop down menu

    Do you know if Porsche made a TSB for this? If so, I might be able to dig it up...
  15. Loren
    Well, that was the most likely possibility. If it is not the overflow then perhaps the new tank sensor fitting is leaking?
  16. Loren
    Bank 1 is Cylinders 1 - 3 so that would be the left side (driver's side for LHD cars). There are two O2 sensors for each bank of the engine - one before the cat and one after the cat. You want to inspect/replace the one after the cat (muffler side) on the left side of the engine.
  17. Loren
    Time to find a new dealer....
  18. Loren
    Check the wiring on that O2 sensor and/or clean the electrical connections (while it is cool). If that does not cure it you will need a new O2 sensor. Those codes indicate the heater circuit is failing in that O2 sensor - not that uncommon.
  19. Loren
    We have added the MY06 Cayenne S Titanium (US) Order Guide.
  20. Loren
    Why did you post this again? I answered your first post.
  21. Loren
    Well... the TSB says "Replace fastening bolts on the intermediate shaft flange. Since the intermediate shaft flange is loaded by the chain tensioners, the fastening bolts must be replaced only one at a time." Porsche uses a special tool (9642) to postion and hold the intermediate shaft.
  22. Loren
    Careful - that is not legal in many states.
  23. Loren
    Check your tank cap. If there is residue around the the cap/tank top then it maybe leaking. Make sure your cap part number ends in 01 - all the 00 caps are known to leak.
  24. Loren
    The wire with the brown stripe is negative.
