    Sorry mis-read your post.

    Option M680 - Digital Sound Processing (DSP). Only offered through MY01. Replaced by the BOSE system in MY02.
  3. Loren
    Still, sounds like you have air in the lines. Try a pressure bleeder or have a friend operate the brake pedal while you bleed.

    Well a new caliper is about $605.90 (US) retail so you might want to consider drilling it out and putting in an insert. If you have never done that before then you might get a quote from a machine shop. Or... buy a used caliper (if you can find one).

    I guess they can try... :huh: As long as it was not damaged installing the GHL then I wouldn't think they could blame it - but you never know.
  7. Loren
    I don't see a problem with 235's. Porsche does not set a spec (since the specify only one tire size for the TT). They only mention that the differences should be as little as possible.
  8. Loren
    I would find someone with a full scanner and make sure. This code says you cat is bad - if no other codes are present and the O2 sensors are reading correctly. A cat failure is not unheard of but it is not very common as far as I know. And, a new cat retails for around $800!

    Removing Installing

    I don't think there is any other current solution. The CDR-23 and other components have been optical (MOST) since MY2002. If you swap everything out you will likely need to add wiring since the current communication is via optical cables.
  11. Loren
    Did you read Orient Express's solution here?
  12. Loren
    Yup, exactly.
  13. Loren
    15 kg/h + or - 1.25 nominal
  14. Loren
    Is that the only code? or are there more? What are the O2 sensors voltages and do they vary or are they always the same? See the graphs below... TWC - OK TWC - NOT OK
  15. Loren
    Correct, those codes do not indicate you have a bad O2 sensor. As 1999Porsche911 said you are running too rich. If you have cleaned the MAF and are sure it is okay then check the EVAP canister for leaks, or cracks or an open purge valve.
  16. Loren
    I think OxygenSensors.com has OEM sensors. They are about $100 each there. If you don't have a large (19 mm I think) open end/box combo wrench then you might want to buy one of the special slotted sockets they sell too. There are 4 O2 sensors. Two on each cat. One before the cat and one after. Are they suggesting you replace all 4? That seems very odd since even with sensor aging it is usually only one or two that need replacing. Here are some general precautions with O2 sensors:

    I get my P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner here.
  18. Loren
    Normal. You need to drive the car after washing (carefully) to dry the brakes. I like P21S gel wheel cleaner as it "sticks" to the wheels and does not harm the clearcoat. Changing wheel cleaner will not affect the rust issue - you still need to drive the car to dry the brakes.
  19. Loren
    EVO makes that. I had one for about two months (long story - but I sent it back). That might work but the intake air will still be warm.
  20. Loren
    have you tried using Search here? ;) It's been covered many times...

  22. Loren
    I don't see any way, it's a different engine, intake, MAF, etc.
  23. Loren
    Well, naturally Porsche has lots of special tools (to sell dealers). They have tools to hold the engine while you remove the transmission etc., etc. It can be done with the right general engine and transmission lifts if you are careful. Drop by a dealer or local shop and ask them if you can watch them sometime - you don't need to tell them why. ;)
  24. Loren
    Well it's not like the old VW beetle days or even a 914 - I could drop one of those in 15 minutes. You need to support the engine and remove the transmission first. Then the engine. Obviously you need to disconnect the battery and all of the electronics, fuels lines, the AC lines, power steering, and coolant hoses. Not an easy job for the inexperienced - likely 2-3 hours your first time (IMHO).
  25. Loren
    Likely more than you want to know... :lol:
