    Should be a Black/Blue wire under the drivers seat.

    No, 70C is the color. The parts list shows country and model, etc. if needed.

    In most cases the O2 sensor is not the problem - it is the device reporting the problem. P1128 and P1130 say that the fuel mixture is so lean that the DME can not increase the richness enough to compensate. This is usually caused by an intake (or exhaust) system leak, a blocked fuel filter, or low fuel pump pressure. Since (both sets of 3) cylinder banks report the same issue it is unlikely a fouled injector.

    996 641 115 03 70C is a Canadian Instrument Cluster (complete) for MY99-01 C4 (4WD) 6 speed in Rally Black color.

    You have more mail...

    Near the bottom of the page are DIY's for GT3, TT and GT2. The Oil Change for Turbos is here

    You've got mail...

    No. Turning on the OBC will not generate an error/fault code. Mine is on right now (and has been for 3 years). I also have not done the OBC hack - I just get the outside temp. I have a scanner and my car shows no fault codes. But your dealer should check for any fault codes BEFORE they turn it on - that's just plain "good practice".

    No, the dealer must do this with a PST2/3. The idea behind the airbag control is that when the child seat is present it shuts off the airbag - and when you remove the child seat it turns it back on. Sounds like a safe solution to me...
  10. Loren
    Not as long as you keep the cats and oxygen sensors.
  11. Loren
    Have a look at this thread to see how to mod the switching... If you don't have the full (factory) install instructions -- PM me and I will email them to you.

    The studs (M 8 x 22) that come out of the turbos are: 900 081 059 00 The gasket is: 996 111 217 70 The nuts (for the studs) are: 999 084 052 02 and the washers are: 900 031 032 02

    The gray item in the center of your picture is the solenoid. If you follow the black vacuum lines one should go to the check valve.

    One of our members, CoreyNJ, has written an excellent DIY for the PCM 2. This is for the MOST equipped cars only. We have posted in the DIY section.You can read/print the PCM 2 DIY here.THANKS Corey!! :clapping:

    On Scouser's car there was a TSB for seat belt contacts making poor connection. That problem was (supposedly) fixed on production cars in Sept. 1999. AND, that fault caused the airbag to go on all the time -- not off. There is a ground under the drivers seat but you must remove the drivers seat to get to it. To remove the drivers seat you need an E12 (external Torx) socket and to be safe you should disconnect the battery so you don't trigger an airbag accidently. Or, since your car is still likely under warranty you could let the dealer trace this down.
  16. Loren
    I sent you an email with the TSB. It has all the details.
  17. Loren
    The air bag and seat belt circuits are different so this is odd. So, my first question is whether any electrical work has been done on the car recently (stereo, OBC hack, etc.). This sounds like something is mis-wired or the instrument cluster has gone bad.

    The control unit for mirror memory is only in the seats with seat memory option M537 (left seat memory) and M538 (right seat memory).
  20. Loren
    No not yet. I have some TSBs on their way to me now though. When there is a problem such as this the NHSTA usually gives companies time to find a fix, test the fix and then implement fix. We don't end up hearing much until stage 3.
  21. Loren
    Changing the check valve just reverses how it works from the factory. So, to have full control via the switch you need to perform the mod here
  22. Loren
    If your car has the full electronic and vacuum install then just reverse the white/black check valve... or install the switch and mod to control it with the switch. (sorry don't remember who gave me this photo)

    Have a look at this thread and then let me know if you want the instructions. Also, Porsche recently introduced a new type ignition switch (TSB 4/03 2804 Replacement Ignition Switch dated 11-24-2003).
  25. Loren
    Here is what they use in the TSBs: 999 911 606 40 Teflon adhesive tape (20 mm wide) 993 555 545 00 Narrow felt tape (15mm wide)
