    One more time - You need to find a shop or Porsche dealer(OPC) with a PIWIS and ask them to program it for you.
  2. Loren
    Since you have to replace every battery in about 4-5 years I see no need to purchase an expensive one. You just need a "good" one.
  3. Loren
    This is for a Boxster but basically the regulator is the same. http://www.bombaydigital.com/boxster/projects/window/

    With all due respect - no it is not part of the windshield. It is attached by a self-adhesive. Porsche published a group of TSBs for the 996 on this retrofit - but the 997 is different I suspect you will need to add some wiring for all the parts then have them turned on with a PIWIS tester. It can probably be done but I have yet o see anything published from Porsche - so you would need to have a look at the wiring diagrams and make sure you get all the right parts. BTW the rain sensor part is different depending on whether it is a coupe or cab AND whether or not you have the dimming mirrors.

    Yes, Porsche "tunes" their suspension systems to weight and weight balance of the car. It is your choice but I would stick with the version for your car.

    If you mean option I7VE auxiliary heater with timer - I think it is quite a chore to install. I think you are looking at electrical harnesses and lots of coolant hoses and re-routing. The parts would also depend on your VIN number. Here is an example parts listing... aux_heater.pdf

    There are 6 total plastic nuts. 999.049.020.40 Plastic nut -- US MSRP $0.21 each
  9. Loren
    Have you battery tested. If your battery is over 4 years old then it is due to be replaced anyway.
  10. Loren
    No, a PST2 will not work on a 2008 Cayenne - only a PIWIS tester. In the US a PIWIS tester is $18,000 (for the first year of the lease).
  11. Loren
    Um... pmeegan is asking about a Cayenne S not a Carrera.

    Reliability of 996 Engines

    You oil usage is normal. Porsche says 1 quart in 1000 miles is acceptable. Most crankcase ventilation problems cause a CEL - or it can easily be tested by a dealer with a pressure gauge they put on the oil filler (instead of the cap).
  14. Loren
    Not really... if they put the ClubSport adjustable lower control arms (the .90 parts) on then they could get more negative camber.
  15. Loren
    Yes the stock GT3 (not 004 ClubSport) lower control arms (996.341.053.16) are the same for MY04 Carrera only. They changed in MY05 and were different still on the MY03 and earlier.
  16. Loren
    Other than resetting codes (which the Durametric can do) it can not change factory settings. You would would need a PST2 or PIWIS tester and then you could only change programs that are supplied by Porsche - not individual ECU values. And, these machine are several thousand dollars.

    -21 is for a Boxster S with 6 speed transmission -22 is for a Boxster S with Tiptronic transmission
  20. Loren
    :clapping:
  21. Loren
    If it is very light I think that is expected - emission laws require that crankcase ventilation be passed back into the engine.
  22. Loren
    Please do a search here - this has been covered many many times.
  23. Loren
    Sounds like a dirty lifter. Try an oil/filter change as changing lifters is not a small job.

    Uh... RFM told him on Nov 9th http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=84787 Tool Pants told him on Nov 9th http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=84826 and I told him on Dec 13th http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=87949 But as long as he gets it fixed... who cares...

    Check purge air line for blockage. 1. Remove front right-hand wheel housing liner. 2. Detach purge air line (connection face up) from EVAP canister. 3. Blow through purge air line with compressed air.
