    You lost me there... there is only one x73 kit for a C4S on Carnewal.com. There is a kit for C4 "turbo look" - which will I believe is the RoW standard sport suspension for a C4S (this is lower than the US standard sport suspension). If you are not sure email Gert - he is very good at getting you the right parts.

    If your car is a non-MOST car then it has conventional wires instead of a fiber optics network. I don't know why that would be a problem.

    I think you will find the parts of the wiring harness listed below the 996 612 903 00 number. You may have to buy the pins separately from the connector and assemble it yourself.

    My first advice is to wrap the new K&N (or BMC) in newspaper and let it sit overnight. If the newspaper is oil soaked the next day do it again. The number one problem with these filters is over oiling and then that oil getting on the MAF sensor. If that happens you will have to remove the MAF and clean or replace it. Have a look at the air filter DIY here.

    Pretty easy - disconnect the electrical connector - unscrew old switch - screw in new switch - reconnect the electrical connector.

    1. P1124/P1125 covers lean conditions (that the DME can not adjust for) at idle. P1128/P1130 cover lean conditions at close to full load. 2. Egas is not an option. It began on C4's (but not the C2) in 1999. All Carrera's have had egas since MY00. On the Boxster all 2.5' s do not have egas. 3. O2 sensors will deteriorate with age and either the sensor will stop sensing or the heater will not get the sensor hot enough. If you record your O2 readings using a scan toll you can watch the sensor deteriorate. Most folks just wait until a failing or failed sensor throws a CEL.

    So is this a "Poser" or the "Real Deal"? ;) ;) CLK55 AMG

    They are almost exactly the same.

    If George is getting his soon then we can do both at once. If not at a work on cars day then you folks can drive down to beautiful Morgan Hill ;)

    Generically they mean: P0155 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1) P0175 System too Rich (Bank 2) P0172 System too Rich (Bank 1) Bank 2 (cyl 4-6) Sensor 1 (before the cat) and P0155 says that the O2 sensor is not heating. Unless the wiring harness has been damaged or the connection is corroded it is likely that you need a new O2 sensor.

    1. They were about $450 when I bought mine. 2. See 3rd Radiator Install Instructions 3. About 4-5 hours labor. 4. See item 2. Your current temp is normal. I bought mine for track days and fun runs through the mountains.

    Model of car? Year of car? Aftermarket addons?

    Yes, P code is P code these are universal (to some degree) for all OBD II cars. Porsche fault codes for OBD II P codes are listed in a matrix here. We also have listing for most OBD II P codes here. As I recall I think the PST2 can display either. Perhaps they need to go back to Porsche training school... ;)

    Well, the P1123 and P1125 are almost opposite to P1124 and P1126. A P1123 and P1125 are too rich conditions - that is, the DME can not lean the mixture enough. P1124 and P1126 are too lean and the DME can not make the mixture rich enough. If it were always P1123 and P1125 then the OBD II manual says check the fuel pump pressure and the EVAP canister purge valve (open). Any changes recently like air filter or fuel filter? and are those codes with the MAF disconnected?
  19. Loren
    No I don't, I've never tried. Do you have just a hand grip? What are you trying to do?

    Hello, I can see two, but where is number three? jo996

    All P0xxx codes are standardized. However, each manufacturer may use additional codes which go beyond the standardized ones. This is the case if the manufacturer has integrated additional functions in the ECM beyond those required by law, and these can also be diagnosed. These codes are referred to as P1xxx codes, e.g. "P1100". The first character (letter) of a code identifies the system which has input the code. A total of four system types are covered: B for body; C for drive train; P for drive; U for future systems. The OBD II only requires the P code. Any PST2 regardless of sofware version can read, report, and reset P codes, drive train, body codes, and U codes. This includes things like airbag lights, ABS faults, and alarm codes that a generic OBD II scan can not. A yearly PST2 software upgrade licence use to run about $2500 per year. Since the PST2 has been replaced by the PIWIS tester I think the software updates are now done online (rather than CD as the PST2 was).

    What are you cleaning the wheels with? This could be covered under your warranty too.

    I can not say that I always agree with the FIA rules but in this case I think they did the right thing - the Michelin teams did not.
  24. Loren
    Hehe... how did you think I knew not to drop it? ;) I bought a new one - then found the old one a year later when I was doing something else.
  25. Loren
    Tool Pants would know... he buys it by the gallon I think :lol:
