    Yes, P code is P code these are universal (to some degree) for all OBD II cars. Porsche fault codes for OBD II P codes are listed in a matrix here. We also have listing for most OBD II P codes here. As I recall I think the PST2 can display either. Perhaps they need to go back to Porsche training school... ;)

    Well, the P1123 and P1125 are almost opposite to P1124 and P1126. A P1123 and P1125 are too rich conditions - that is, the DME can not lean the mixture enough. P1124 and P1126 are too lean and the DME can not make the mixture rich enough. If it were always P1123 and P1125 then the OBD II manual says check the fuel pump pressure and the EVAP canister purge valve (open). Any changes recently like air filter or fuel filter? and are those codes with the MAF disconnected?

    No I don't, I've never tried. Do you have just a hand grip? What are you trying to do?

    Hello, I can see two, but where is number three? jo996

    All P0xxx codes are standardized. However, each manufacturer may use additional codes which go beyond the standardized ones. This is the case if the manufacturer has integrated additional functions in the ECM beyond those required by law, and these can also be diagnosed. These codes are referred to as P1xxx codes, e.g. "P1100". The first character (letter) of a code identifies the system which has input the code. A total of four system types are covered: B for body; C for drive train; P for drive; U for future systems. The OBD II only requires the P code. Any PST2 regardless of sofware version can read, report, and reset P codes, drive train, body codes, and U codes. This includes things like airbag lights, ABS faults, and alarm codes that a generic OBD II scan can not. A yearly PST2 software upgrade licence use to run about $2500 per year. Since the PST2 has been replaced by the PIWIS tester I think the software updates are now done online (rather than CD as the PST2 was).

    What are you cleaning the wheels with? This could be covered under your warranty too.

    I can not say that I always agree with the FIA rules but in this case I think they did the right thing - the Michelin teams did not.

    Hehe... how did you think I knew not to drop it? ;) I bought a new one - then found the old one a year later when I was doing something else.

    Tool Pants would know... he buys it by the gallon I think :lol:

    1. Pull seat belt rose cover up and off. 2. Undo fastening screw behind it (be careful not to drop it into the chassis). 3. Detach side-panel lining by unscrewing the hex bolt for the rear seat latch. Pull locking lugs of side-panel lining out of the clips in the rear side section and move forward enough to get at the back of the speaker. 4. Disconnect the loudspeaker electrical plug connection and disconnect. Remove panel.

    I'll be surprised if your Auterra OBD II scanner can read alarm codes. Most of the aftermarket scanners can only do DME codes.

    If your original know is from the Exclusive options then it has a set screw up under the boot near the knob. If it is a standard knob then you just twist and pull - you might want to lower the top as sometimes they pop right off when pulled. The new knob likely has a set screw to fasten it down.

    Coupe or Cab? and MY please?

    For no AC use belt part number 996 102 151 65.

    If it is a factory aerokit then it can be moved. This is mine in the center position. There are two allen head screws under the wing on each side. Once they are removed you can (carefully) lift the wing. To change the setting the bracket on the fixed part of the wing must be moved to a different set of holes. For the mid setting you remove two of the allen screws (don't lose them) and move the bracket. Then put the moveable wing screws back in with Loctite. Loctite is very important so they won't vibrate out. Porsche recommends the highest rake setting only for track use.

    The F1 race was very bad for the fans... but, I agree with the FIA ruling about not adding a chicane 5 minutes before the race. These folks had a week of testing and qualifying - why do they ask for a new chicane right before the race. Definitely a black eye for Michelin, F1 racing and and for the fans that threw crap on the track.

    Cooll... keep em coming...

    Just the standard ISO software and cable. Turns out all three of my cars use ISO.

    Thanks! :D

    Option code 447??? Is a spare now an available option for 06? I asked my salesman here in Canada a few weeks ago if there was a spare tire option for 06 and he said no. Can you give more info on this option 447? Is this a Boxster option? How much $$$ for this option? Thanks for your insight. Jim The option does not show in the price guide but DOES show in the Porsche (US/Canada) parts list. Both the 997 and 987 show this option which includes: the emergency wheel, a retaining belt, a boot (to cover the wheel) and a compressor to pump the tire up. I do not know the price for the option - the wheel alone is about $600 US.
  21. Loren
    See my reply here. Please do not double post your questions.
  22. Loren
    The emergency wheel for the 987 is option code 447 and has the same (03) part number. The emergency wheel also needs a compressor to inflate the tire. I doubt Porsche would have created a new part if the old one could be used. The 01 emergency wheel was used in the early model C4 and early C4S. You would have to test it to see if it would fit - both in the trunk and wheel offset. As of MY04 the C4S also uses the 03 wheel.
  23. Loren
    According to the parts list either will work. The 03 part is a newer design and according to the US retail price list $14 cheaper.
  24. Loren
    I think you will need one with a screw on hose fitting for MY02 and newer Tips. Otherwise the ATF will squirt out.

    999 507 687 05 Fixing Clip (retail $0.77 each).
