    Have you contacted the folks at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost)?

    Could be just a bad cluster - have they tried a different cluster?

    After reseting the DME it will take some driving to get the idle and power curve adopted. I am surprised that you changed the MAF for an idle problem. The MAF does nothing at idle - you can even disconnect it and it won't make any difference until the higher RPMs. If you had/have an erratic idle it is more likely a dirty throttle body and/or an air leak in the intake somewhere (loose hose, loose clamp, AOS failure, or oil filler tube failure, etc., etc.).

    Sorry, I think you are going to need to call a dealer or Becker. Last time I checked Becker charged $30.

    The serial number is on a label on the radio or on some models you can press a series of keys and have the serial number displayed in the readout.

    Looks like the (engine side) accelerator cable and grommet needs replacing. The part number for that cable is 986.423.229.04 and the grommet is 986.423.331.00. If by chance the accelerator cable is undamaged then you just need to replace the grommet. But the cable will need to come off for that.

    How did you get your serial number? Through the front panel (as suggested)?

    The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect February 2008 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For February 2008 the price lists support: US: 218,495 parts Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006) Thanks to Contributing Member Porschelibrarian!

    Yes, it would be a straight swap. No programming required.

    READ this thread - it tells you what to do if the code I give you does not work.
  13. Loren
    Try 5006 or 5004
  14. Loren
    It will look like the image below - just not glossy.
  15. Loren
    It is a 2002 Carrera 4S. Thanks!
  16. Loren
    Yes, it will fit. It is a two person job to install it (to keep from scratching things).

    We need to know the model of your car and model year to get you the correct color codes for the spoiler wires.

    We still have not seen PDF files from Porsche of this. You can easily order an Owners Manual from Porsche for under $20. WKD 997 221 08

    He is referring to Porsche Technical Service Bulletin (TSB): 1/04 1945 Operating Noises of The Additional Coolant Pump -- dated May 25, 2004 Porsche TSBs are available here to view online by our Contributing Members.

    Check the battery - especially if it is 4 years old or older. My money is on the battery or a bad ignition switch.
  22. Loren
    The Porsche book says 6-7 hours. What city/state do you live in?
  23. Loren
    Hmm... it does look like something struck it to me. I would take it to the best machine shop in town and ask if they can re-weld and machine the damage. FYI... cylinder head complete -- MSRP $2566.08
  24. Loren
    Well, IMHO your car needs to be looked at. It does not sound to me like you have a major problem (very few folks actually do). As these cars age some of the plastic and rubber parts are going to deteriorate enough to need fixing - that is a fact of life on any 10 year old car. You could have a cracked AOS bellows or cracked coil packs or some other intake leak. If you have a warranty now - take the car back and tell them that a CEL is unacceptable. If they are not qualified to find to the problem then they should take to someone that is - and they should pay for it - that is what the warranty is for.
  25. Loren
    That is a very odd problem. What did the crack look like? hairline or did it look like something hit it? The head and cam cover a machined matched set - so both have to be replaced.
