    Sorry, I have not take off any PCCB pads and looked at the markings. You could ask to see a set of pads at your dealer and have a look at them. I don't see why PCCB rotors would be any different than steel - I would always replace them in pairs.

    Try 0811 or 0809

    Very strange indeed.
  5. Loren
    Depending on the fault it may have cleared itself or it might still be pending. Certainly worth looking at. I would have the battery tested first, especially if it is 4 years old or older.
  6. Loren
    These are the only jack points Porsche approves.
  7. Loren
    Set the tables and example below. Remember that the MAF reading (air flow) should change with RPM - if it does not then chances are your MAF is bad.

    He couldn't tell me when I went out there. He said it is "failing sensor" Sorry, without the fault codes everything is just a guess...

    And the fault code(s) were....

    I was giving you the procedure out of the manual - so you would know it was bonded. Porsche does not say what the adhesive is - just "adhesive set" and a part number. I am sure any glass repair company knows what to use - and likely how to fix it.
  12. Loren
    Try 5059 or 5057

    "Using the bonding gun, apply 2-component adhesive along the cover trim of the rear window in the form of a triangular bead. Dimension "X" = approx. 15 mm When applying the adhesive, it is essential to ensure that it overlaps. Note: Two persons are needed to insert and adjust the rear window."

    Yes, remove calipers (hang them carefully to the side). Then remove the phillips head screws.

    Narrow body cars have the same brakes - so as long as it is not a C4S you should be ok. The pads may already be burnt into the shape of the old rotors. They might be reusable - but might take some burning in to bring them back to full stopping potential. Torque for the caliper bolts is 63 ftlb. Some folks reuse them if they are really good shape - Porsche says to always replace them.

    1. Yes, they seem to go bad or wear out. 2. Yes, they are a thin wire film sensor. They both get damaged and dirty pretty easily. The egas cars got a new MAF that has a Z pattern that seems to help keeping the dirt out but older non-egas cars (MY99 C2) can not use those MAF's. 3. Yes, you will need to look at the air flow over the sensor, TRA and FRA. You will likely need the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS to monitoer these readings. 4. No, not usually. P1602 says you disconnected the battery.

    IMHO - small changes are impossible to see on 1 dyno run. See my blog entry on dynos. There are many variables that can change HP and torque - including air temp and engine and cooling temps.

    Any day now - certainly before August (we hope).

    The car horn and alarm horn are two different horns.

    Isn't there some button you can press that will automatically search for stations with PTY and preset them for you? Not to my knowledge.
  22. Loren
    As I recall you don't need to program anything. If the radio station supports PTY then it displays - if it does not support PTY then it does not display. From the radio owners manual: "The PTY is broadcast by the RBDS transmitter, provided that the transmitter is equipped with this function."
  23. Loren
    Try 0408 or 0406
  24. Loren
    You need to match your rotors - so, if you have gen 1 then stay with gen1 (unless you change them all). Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) should have a much better price for you.
