    You did not say what year your car is? This is pretty common on MY99 and older (Carrera and Boxster). it did happen on some MY00 cars too. There is a TSB for the seat belt buckle problem (it is available here for viewing by Contributing Members). The problem is that the original seat belt buckles and electrical connectors can corrode over time and cause intermittent signals - this turns on the airbag light. Only a PST2 or PIWIS tester can turn the light off (once the problem is fixed). The buckles and connector pins need to changed to the newer gold plated ones. The TSB is 12 pages of retrofit instructions and the work requires soldering. The TSB time estimate is 2.8 hours. Unless you are familiar with electrical work you might want to leave this to a shop. I think you can get a better quote than $800 - in some cases Porsche AG has split the cost with customers. If you go to an independent shop jut make sure they have a PST2 or PIWIS tester to turn the airbag light off once the problem is fixed.

    996.645.140.02 replaces 996.645.140.01. The parts list says it is okay to use 996.645.140.01 until the stock is gone. But you may want the Tequipment kit 000.044.900.72 which includes cables and mounting hardware (except the fiber optic cable). The fiber optic cable you need will depend on the options already on the car (and whether the car is LHD or RHD). Do you have the BOSE (option 680) or Harman (option 490) sound system? Do you have the telephone option? The full CDC4 installation instructions are here for viewing by Contributing Members. (ps. I deleted your second post as your question is answered here. Please do not double post. Thanks!)

    I would certainly go back and ask them to check the tightness and alignment of the work they did. New suspension components are know to loose and should be re-torqued after the first couple of thousand miles. But this sounds much worse than that so it could be a mis-alignment or one side might have come loose.
  6. Loren
    Which part(s)?
  7. Loren
    Yes. Depending on the age of PSE system it could be part number 996.618.980.01, 996.618.980.02 or 996.618.980.03.
  8. Loren
    For MY99 Carrrera: 996 652 101 00 Lighter -- Retail $9.87 (US retail as of Dec 2005)

    Gary, Yes, there is no retrofit kit and the wiring must be added - so most shops won't even try. PCM2 (on MY02 and newer MOST system cars) is pretty straightforward and CoryNJ already wrote a DIY here on that. Sure, if you have found an easier way to add PCM1 then please feel free to add it to the DIY Articles section here.
  10. Loren
    Ah... sorry I missed it on my MY02 schematic. That orange/blue wire gets connected to all the other orange/blue wires on the OBD II connector pin A3 (also know as K lead). That wire is needed for PST2 diagnosis so the PST2 knows the PCM1 controller is there and can be coded.
  11. Loren
    The reverse signal should be under the left hand seat (on LHD cars not sure about RHD cars). Should be Black/Blue connections already there - just add you PCM1 reverse wire to them (solder or crimp). What is the pin number on the PCM1 for Diagnosis? My schematic does not have anything labeled "Diagnosis".
  12. Loren
    Try http://www.paintscratch.com. They are pretty close.

    Please try using the search feature here. I found this question has been answered more than a dozen times already. Telephone prep connector. On it you will find: +12 volts unswitched (red/green) +12 volts switched (green/black) Ground (brown wire) Telephone Mute Signal (yellow/black wire)

    A Ball socket hex wrench allows you to be offset as much as 30 degrees and still turn the hex bolt. Here is a link to a set I bought a few years ago Ball End Hex Wrenches. Be sure and get the metric ones. The spark plug socket is pretty standard 5/8" is US. The spark plug socket is common but you will need a wobble extension to get the angle a couple of the plugs.

    There is a 15 page TSB for installation of the CDC-4 on a Cayenne. There are several variations depending on what options your car currently has. You will likely need to buy the correct interfacing fiber optic cables to make it work - as well once it is wired up you will need to have a dealer or shop with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester code your system to know it is present.
  19. Loren
    You and your dealer is right - I misread the TSB. The 17" wheels are not for the Boxster S (987). I apologize - I must have been half asleep when I read that. I corrected my post above.
  20. Loren
    Sorry, it should be fixed now.
  21. Loren
    As log as you know which way your engine is facing... :D The pully side faces the front in a Boxster. In a Carrera the pulley side faces the rear.
  22. Loren
    Depends... how low do you want to go? X73 will lower 20 mm (front and rear) and is fixed. PSS9 will lower up to 50 mm and is adjustable. Plus with the PSS9's you can corner balance and use the adjustable sway bars to "fine tune" the handling.
  23. Loren
    You can read them now (Welcome to becoming a Contributing Member). In the Boxster (986) TSB section look for: Number: 2005, ID: 6/04. Description: Aluminum Look Fuel Cap. Click on the link to view it online.
  24. Loren
    Try the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). The last one I got from them was $18.
  25. Loren
    Yes, that's it! The black rubber cap is the dust protector. Don't forget to put the dust cover back on when you are done.
