    I just received the Durametric software and cable. I've barely had time to look at it yet. At this time it looks like -- code identification and reset for DME, Air Bag, ABS, Alarm, AC, and Seat Memory -- no PST2/PIWIS functions beyond that. I know they plan on more and I will try to get details as I progress in my review of the product. I plan to try it on 986 and 996 with DME 5.2.2, DME 7.2, and DME 7.8. The latest US version of software for the PST2 is version 24 and it does include CGT but not 987 or 997. Stay tuned as we have heard that Europe has version 27.

    Your car is a MY99 C4? Hmm... If that is what you car is it should not have a P1123. What is your MY and model? What did you use to get the code? P1123 - Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold Which means that side is running too RICH not too lean. "Lean threshold" means the DME can not lean the mixture enough.

    Well there is trunk light on the left side or the battery right in the center or the CD changer (if you have one). Pick your location for the GPS logger.

    I asked around with some folks here (shop foreman and independents) and they say that the NW US has had a lot of contaminated gas for several months now. Here is a suggestion... Buy some Shell premium gas then add a can of HEET Gas-Line Antifreeze and Water Remover. The HEET will remove most if not all of water in the gas tank. You should be able to find HEET at Autozone, Pep Boys, Kmart, etc., etc. What have you got to lose?

    Hmm... intermittent wipers were standard on US cars (this is a US car right?). All of the service manual docs give the intermittent relay location as position 16 on the relay support 1 (the one in the lower left footwell). On my car it is blue and taller than most of the other relays. The part number is on the side.
  6. Loren
    Glad you got it taken care of.

    The springs are not different betwen a US and RoW Cayman with PASM.

    No problems... IMHO likely just profit takers. The price will only go up as they get older.

    Yeah, you are right I forgot about the intake temp code - normal with the MAF disconnected. Did you get the right MAF sensor? Should be a 996.606.123.00 (can't find the Bosch number right now...)
  10. Loren
    Sounds like not enough air - DME 5.2.2 right? Did you use the C2 throttle body or the C4 eGas throttle body? If you clear the codes and disconnect the MAF the car should run mostly fine and you will get a MAF code (P0101 I think). Then see if you still get other codes.
  11. Loren
    The old intermittent relay should be part number 996.615.103.00. It may not be be in position 16 depending on your cars options. There is only one relay with that part number - so if you can find it replace it with the rain sensor relay.
  12. Loren
    Replace your car? I've yet to see a problem that can't be corrected. Tell us more about the history. 6 Speed or Tip? Any mods to the car? Has it been doing this since day one? How many attempts has the dealer made? Did they keep the car and drive it for a few days? What have they replaced? Did their shop PIWIS tester show any codes?

    Costco - 4 pack

    The reason I asked about other electrical issues is that mechanically and electrically it seems to work. You said you could close the door lock the car - then unlock it and it worked properly. Yet when you left the car for some time and came back it did not work. Here is how that alarm circuit works: So one possibility is that the alarm circuit seems to think the door is closed (it locks activation when the door is closed too). I guess you could try disconnecting the battery (save you radio stations and radio code first). Leave it disconnected for 5 minutes to be sure memory is cleared - then re-connect it and test again. Also, after disconnecting the battery the DME will need to relearn it's idle process - so the car may run a little rough but that will go away in a few minutes.
  15. Loren
    Probably. Since it is also an add-on option I suspect it can be removed. You may need a console (leather) piece to replace where the phone was.
  16. Loren
    Are you having any other electrical anomalies? Does the alarm beep once when you lock the car?
  17. Loren
    I use Chevron Techron about every 3000-5000 miles.

    The lamps from a GT3 RS will not fit a mk1 GT3 without changing the front bumper, lamps (and wiring), and both front fenders. Litronics (Xenon) kits are sold here in the states for about $1000 - $1200 new. If you are lucky you might find some on eBay - but I doubt it as they are pretty popular.
  19. Loren
    There is a TSB that describes the installation - TSBs are available to view online here to Contributing Members.
  20. Loren
    You are re-connecting the electrical connections to the locking solenoids right?

    The PST2 Porsche part number is: 000 721 958 80. You will find a complete list of all part numbers (Porsche and Bosch) near the end (Section 8) of the built-in operation instructions (F1 - Help from the first screen). In the US parts list the PST2 is there -- but it is not on the US price list.

    Very interesting... We were told by two different dealers here in the US that PST2 is no longer sold or supported. Do you know if they are still selling PST2 in Europe - and software updates?
  24. Loren
    You got any information that we can look at about this software? What are the hardware reqs? Thanks, Darren Have a look at this thread.
  25. Loren
    Yes, MY99 and MY00 share all the same wiring colors.
