    Sounds like a loose front swaybar. Check the mounts. and links.

    Terminals 30, 31, and 15 are: 31 - Ground usually a solid brown wire 30 - Unswitched +12 volts (wire color will depend on model and year of your car) 15 - Switched +12 volts (wire color will depend on model and year of your car) Thanks for that but I am trying to work out which terminals on the control unit (996 618 537 03) need to be connected to the ground, switched and unswitched 12 volts. The terminals have numbers and are labelled but in German Cheers Matt Sorry, without model and year of the car I can't help you -- I need to know which schematic to look at... Ahh, ok, 2003 996 turbo. Thanks Matt

    I am saying you need to bypass the alarm box altogether and run the key (via relays) to run the starter and deliver power to the engine DME. If you don't feel comfortable doing this then find someone local that has built a kit car. This likely will be just one of that many workarounds you will need to do (IMHO).

    C2S gets a different master cylinder (997.355.910.10) - that is the only other part I see when looking at the parts list.

    So taking the car to them is a must. If I carry them the car, and the box turns out to be bad, do I have to have it reprogramed again(the key) for the new box? Basically yes. You must have a working alarm/door lock/drive block control to start the car - unless you decide to bypass that whole system. Is that an option and still keep the porsche engine/ engine ecu? Please excuse all my questions, this car has got to have the most PITA alarm/starting stuff EVER! Still wondering about this? I do not see anything on the DME 5.2.2 schematic that would keep it from running without the alarm box.

    Try 9019 or 9017

    I have not seen a car that can not have OBC turned on yet.

    Try 2290 or 2288 OK I tried these 2 codes & I tried 2292 & 2286 to no avail.... Any other codes I should try ? Also any way to get around the 1 hour wait period? Should I just call Becker? Or wont they help? Thanks again for the great resource! :renntech: You need to read this... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST I did, kind sir. So you are saying that I'm in the 5% ? Or should I continue to search #s in the 2 digit ranges? How far either side of your suggested # should I go? Yes, if the two numbers I gave you don't work then you can try 2 digit increments/decrements until you get tired and call a dealer - or get lucky.

    Where are you located?

    If it was a loud banging noise then chances are it is a broken intermediate shaft (sorry).

    :welcome: They can't possibly know what needs to be replaced without putting a tester on the car (Durametric, PST2, or PIWIS tester). There is a TSB for seat belt buckle problems - but did they look up your VIN to see if it had already been done to your car? My guess is... not likely - they just want your money. Thanks for the quick reply Loren. I figured as much. I don't think it was ever done. Bought my Boxter from a buddy, the original owner last year. Already had to replace the top motor. Guess I'll have to get a tester plugged in to see what the codes come up. Having read some earlier threads, I was trying to look up the TSB on the NHTSA docket. Couldn't find it. Could it be it was not covering the 98 986? It is available here to view by our Contributing Members. It is TSB 1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On: Fault Codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 -- Dated Jul 21, 2004

    In a 3.4 liter there is little difference between the non-egas and egas versions. Throttle body is the big one and of course they get a different DME program.
  22. Loren
    Try 3321 or 3319

    I just helped someone with a 2001 Boxster a few months ago. It worked fine - then she upgraded to a Carrera cluster and it still works.

    GT3 PCM2 Install

    Loren replied to lafleur's topic in 996 GT3

    That will depend on the options on your car. Did you get the install instructions TSB from the dealer?
