    It will depend on the exact PCM unit in your car (by PCM part number). But I believe all are supposed to be at "Model Level B". Ask your dealer to check: TSB 27/04 W522 W522 – Updating The PCM2 Operating System and Replacing The 3 - CD ROM Street Map Navigation CDs (Workshop Service Action) and TSB 8/05 9112 PCM2.1 and Navigation Unit: System Connection Software Release, "Model Level B" and TSB 9/05 9110 PCM2.1 Navigation Update.

    The firmware has been updated to the latest version by a Porsche dealer?
  3. Loren
    Email it to Scouser (his email is at the bottom of the decoder). If anybody can read it he can...
  4. Loren
    is that data displayed if you simply plug in the carrera cluster or is there more to it than that? You would need to add an oil pressure sender to the engine and run the wire to the cluster.
  5. Loren
    Try putting your VIN into Scouser's VIN Decoder here.
  6. Loren
    Those controllers are the same from left side to right side so you should be able to swap them to see which is bad. I would try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - they are usually have the best prices (IMHO).
  7. Loren
    You mean P0156? right? If so there is really not much to do. Check the electrical connections to the sensor - clear the code and see if it comes back. If so, then replace that sensor.
  8. Loren
    It's probably another question whether a Porsche dealer in Canada can "legally" turn off DRLs.

    This really get's my back up. You own a Porsche for Christs sake, a small contribution worth probably less than a bottle of oil could get you all the information you would need to put your side skirts on and much more.......what is your problem here! Ha ha ha, Scouser you crack me up! Surprised to get that from someone that has been a USER over at Rennlist since May 2003, with some 1500+ posts without forking up the membership fee! I respect Loren's knowledge and his site but is a little help to much to ask for or does all renntech registered users get asked to pay up as a reply to their first post? It's like going to a restaurant and being asked to pay for your meal before ordering just because you are not a regular guest. A restaurant with such policy would not stay in business for long. Loren you can delete my user profile as I will not be back and should therefore not take up space on your precious server. I'm back to the original "renn" site (where I'm a paying member). Adios, J. With all due respect -- you do not have pay here - except when you want something that WE have to pay for. TSBs are not free - we pay for them (and they are a recurring expense). I'm sorry you do not see that as value enough to contribute to this site.

    Well, everything that keeps happening (P0133 and P1275) point to the O2 sensor ahead of the cat. If your car has 50,000 miles or more chances are that O2 sensor is going, going, gone.
  11. Loren
    And the fault code(s) are?
  12. Loren
    I don't see a relay. I'd say there is a good chance it is programmed into the Front End Control Unit and would need to be changed with a PIWIS tester.
  13. Loren
    In his DIY (here) Izzy used Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle ATF. You might PM him and see if he still recommends it.
  14. Loren
    I can not recommend buying your oil from a dealer. Dealers are charging 30-40% more than you would pay on the street.
  15. Loren
    Mobil 1 is the brand name for their synthetic oil. Their is only one Mobil 1 0W-40.

    "Many times you will be upgraded within a few minutes but it could take up to 24 hours."

    You can not open the TSB because TSB viewing is only allowed for Contributing Members. Contributing Members can view TSBs online, use the Retail Price Search feature, and access the Contributors Only Forum. They can send attachments with PMs, image storage limits are raised for all Contributing Members, RennTech.org email addresses are available and a personal Blog. Contributions help defer the cost of running this site and providing this information to you. No one has to contribute but many members do. Without contributions this site would either have to go subscription or cease to exist.

    For a MY99 Boxster (non S) Porsche only sells a repair kit that includes: bolt, expanding spring and securing clip. The same kit is used for both front and rear - so if you need them for all wheels you would order 4 kits. 996.352.959.01
  20. Loren
    Model Year and "S" or normal please?
  21. Loren
    No grease points on the suspension.

    Scouser has updated the VIN Decoder. The VIN Decoder is here. Now includes a built in help and explanation of each value. Many thanks to Scouser for his continued efforts, work, and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:
  23. Loren
    As of MY02, all Carrera and Boxster models are fitted with belt tensioners and belt-force tensioners. The pyrotechnic ball belt tensioner is combined with the belt-force limiter in one unit. The threshold value for triggering the pyrotechnic belt tensioner is calculated as for the airbag actuation from the sensor signals for vehicle deceleration. The triggering of the belt tensioner during a frontal collision takes place together with the triggering of the front airbags. During a rear collision only the belt tensioner is triggered. After a collision both the airbags and the seat belts are replaced (if triggered).
  24. Loren
    Maybe a rock or pebble stuck between the rotor and heat shield?
  25. Loren
    Look for some similar posts here and in the Boxster section (same A/C mechanism). I seem to recall some issues with foam or weatherstripping hitting the fan.
