    If the car idles well and the problem only occurs at higher RPM - then I would suspect a dirty or bad MAF sensor.
  2. Loren
    Try 2423
  3. Loren
    Fault codes 4, 5, 20, 21, 36 -- Ignition circuit, driver Possible cause of fault: - Short circuit to B+/grouncl or open circuit in the wiring between the driver's airbag unit and the airbag triggering unit - Driver's airbag unit faulty - Triggering unit for airbag faulty
  4. Loren
    Is this in Rootwood finish? (That is what the VIN shows). If so, the plain hinged door is 955.552.167.00.4X2 -- US MSRP $233.29
  5. Loren
    Then send me a Private Message (PM).
  6. Loren
    Try 5291
  7. Loren
    it would be very helpful if you would tell us the exact model and year of your car.
  8. Loren
    Try 1484
  9. Loren
    Yes, it is the same internal filter (996.107.225.53).
  10. Loren
    The air filter comes with oil on it - sometimes too much oil. Cleaning the MAF with MAF cleaner will usually save the MAF.
  11. Loren
    Sounds like your K&N filter was depositing oil on the MAF. That is a common problem with oiled filters and over oiling.
  12. Loren
    Any beeps (single or double beeps) when you lock the car?
  13. Loren
    No that wire goes to your amp. The alarm wire should be a separate wire.
  14. Loren
    Thanks. Could that be a contributor to my issue? Yes, depending on whether the aftermarket radio is sending a signal on that wire. Either way it is best to disconnect that wire and tape it.
  15. Loren
    A single beep signifies an open zone - so that is likely your aftermarket radio. If you had a CDR220 prior to replacement you will need to remove and tape the brown wire with the blue stripe.
  16. Loren
    Please READ the Lost Radio code FAQ "CDR-23 (or later): These radios do not have a security code - that is, not that the user enters. These radios are security tested on the MOST (fiber optic bus) system to see if they are the "programmed" radio. The radios are programmed and recognized by the car’s DME and can only be replaced by a shop with a PST2 or PIWIS. These radios will not request a code when battery power is disconnected."
  17. Loren
    Try 2674
  18. Loren
    OBD II codes are emissions codes and have nothing to do with alarm fault codes. You need Durametric or a Porsche diagnostic tool (like a PST2 or PIWiS) to read alarm fault codes. It could be a bad sun sensor but the alarm code readout would say for sure.
  19. Loren
    It would be helpful if you told us the exact model and year of your car.
  20. Loren
    Sometimes you can feel the carpet with your hand. If it feels wet, damp, or rough (like carpet that got wet) then you need to remove the seat for further inspection. ALWAYS disconnect the battery before removing a seat or you will get an airbag light fault when you disconnect the cables.
  21. Loren
    From the rear of the car SmarTop is in the bottom left connector. If not SmartTop then it is either something else, or faulty control unit, or a DIY mod of unknown origin.
  22. Loren
    You can check to see if it has SmarTop or a similar device attached at the main connector. If, then just disconnect it and plug the main cable back in.
  23. Loren
    Try 4952
  24. Loren
    So if you got two beeps that indicates an alarm fault - that somehow fixed itself. Intermittent faults can be difficult to track down because you have to catch them in the act. Any chance the alarm/central locking control box (under the drivers seat on LHD cars) got wet? If so, it needs to removed opened and inspected to see if it can be cleaned and repaired - or replaced.
  25. Loren
    Yes, doesn't work on my TapaTalk either - I will send them a bug report.
