    We need to get some members that really know their electronics (like Sandy) to have a look at the schematics - because I don't see a way. All the key connections are on the fiber optic bus now - so ether the 3rd party Nav providers need to catch up or one of local electronic genius's needs to help us out here.
  2. Loren
    Bad news - your car does not have the optical bus (MOST system) or the MOST gateway system controller - nor will your DME (DME 5.2.2) send the proper signals (PCM2 gets some of it's data from the DME (7.8) and newer design instrument cluster). Those parts will only work in MY03 or newer car.

    Do you want Adjusting the door window angle in the vehicle's longitudinal direction? or Adjusting the door window height? or Adjustment of the door window pressing force on the door seal at the top and sides? or Adjusting the lower stop of the power window unit?

    The B&M short shifter instructions are pretty good. More info than you need - you can download them here.

    It looks like part of your wheel well lining is missing including the rubber lip that hangs down and the air duct for the brakes. Look at the wheel well lining diagrams and make all the parts are there. As I recall all of those items are held in place by a long self tapping screw that attaches to the bottom of the radiator bracket.

    Mine is an Aerokit Cup bumper (my aerokit is factory). I don't remember any metal T-shaped pieces for the bumper... maybe part of the radiator support brackets? You can find the diagrams and photos in my 3rd radiator DIY here.

    Help us out here... model car? year? standard front bumper or aerokit or 3rd party?

    Try re-training the windows. Hold the button down until the window goes down all the way - then do the same for the up motion. Your car may also idle rough for the first few minutes as the DME will need to re-learn the idle. And... don't forget the radio code.

    LOL I have no idea what was in that container. Porsche only approves the use of the synthetic gearoil specified. If you are really concerned then change to a Shell synthetic or Redline equal.

    You can read a fault code in the instrument cluster with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) if there is an oil pressure sensor problem (fault code 9121). Here is the troubleshooting tree...
  12. Loren
    I'm pretty sure it's Vehicle Speed Sensor. Most Boxsters have a VSS signal running to the radio. It's a Grey and Pink colored wire. Failing this pin 18 at the soft top relay also has the signal going to it. Your nav will have to have a learning feature otherwise you need to determine what the pulses per mile rate is and run an adapter if too far out. I have a nav I want to put in that doesn't have this learning function and I can't find out what the PPM rate for Porsches is, so until I can find out I'm screwed. I don't think so. On a MY05 987 all of that stuff is on the MOST/CAN fiber optic network. I don't see an external speed signal anymore in the schematics.

    000.043.204.71 is transmission oil. It is listed for the Boxster 97 to 06. It is should work fine a Carrera too. I would guess they have just changed vendors so a different part number.
  14. Loren
    Sorry, I fixed the title of CoreyNJ's DIY. The Porsche TSB says MY03 and newer. So that would be only cars with the MOST fiber optic systems.
  15. Loren
    Yes, the Cayenne Turbo has different headlight washer trim (18 and 19) and nozzles (16 and 17). You would need all four parts (left and right) to do the upgrade.

    Contributing Members can view the TSBs here.

    Excuse me for asking but... How do you know it's the thermostat? Have you cleaned the front radiators? What is the coolant level in the tank? Have you seen any leaks? I'm not saying it is not the thermostat but that would be my last choice.
  18. Loren
    On a fixed spoiler/non PSM car that setting does nothing. I think that triggers the brake light on the spoiler when PSM/ABS is braking (rather than you). I'm afraid you need the cable harness or re-wire the connector.
  19. Loren
    I think you are out of luck. Continental replaced the N1 tires with Continental ContiSportContact 2 (N2) tires 2 or 3 years ago. Any of the Continental N1 tires you find are likely to be near their date code expiration. I think you need to buy set of all four - pick your manufacturer.

    Don's information comes directly for Porsche's (North America) Press department.

    I just posted the a new Vehicle Distribution Memo in the Contributing Members forum. It is dated today (February 7, 2006) and still only shows sat radio for the Cayenne.... sorry.
  22. Loren
    Have a look at TSB 9/05 9110 PCM2.1 Navigation Update -- dated Sep 7, 2005
  23. Loren
    They have been very responsive to my questions. Try emailing them at info@durametric.com
  24. Loren
    Not if you rip out the interior ;)
  25. Loren
    Not a stupid question - all those control boxes look similar. The box under the passenger seat (RHD) is the alarm/central locking control unit. The DME is under the foam/carpet panel near the rear window.
