    Yes, that is the Aerokit II front bumper for MY02 and newer cars with the newer headlight and fender design. The two bumpers are not interchangeable. If your car is pre MY02 then you need the first number (996 505 980 03 G2X).

    If you are not familiar with the engine and it's air intake, vacuum lines, and crankcase ventilation then you should likely take it to someone that is. This could be something as simple as a bad seal or loose oil filler cap or more complicated like an oil separator. Someone familiar with what to look for should be able to find the problem and cure it.

    Do you have a phone? Do you have an amp? If so which one? These options are all set with a PST2 (or PIWIS). Sounds like it needs to be set with a PST2.

    Push the buttons to release all the CD trays. Grab them all and pull. That's it!

    Normal idle speed on a 3.4 liter car is 700 RPM. I don't think idle is your problem - the CEL and smoke is. P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 1 . 3) - Rich Threshold P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 2 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Rich Threshold These mean that the fuel/air mixture is so lean that sensing has reached its rich threshold. That is, you have an air leak that the DME can not add enough gas to meet proper mixture (and emissions). Probable causes are (from the OBD II manual): - Intake air system leaking. - Fuel pressure too low. - Volume supply of fuel pump too low. - Fuel injectors fouled. Since you had (or still have smoke) then the oil separator is a potential air(/oil) leak. Even a bad oil filler cap or hose can cause this too. You need to find the source of the air leak.

    I just sent it to you via email...

    Yeah, those that are listed in the Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign were only sent to dealers. If I can get a hold them I will post them. They will all have a VIN list with them since not all Cayenne's were affected.

    If your air bag light is on then the only way to turn it off is with a PST2 or PIWIS tester - at an OPC or shop. If you take it to an OPC then they can check your PCM1 serial number against the code you are entering and get you the right one if it is not correct.
  10. Loren
    They should both work fine - the boot usually stays with the shift lever.

    In the past they sent them out about once a month in a batch mailing. In late January Porsche changed the way they are distributing TSBs - no more paper mailed to subscribers. We are looking into what our options are at this point.
  12. Loren
    The TSBs are all grouped by number. Porsche uses the same sequence for sports cars and suvs. The number sequence follows the factory service manual sections to make it easier for the technicians. For instance Group 1: Engine would have TSBs starting with "1xxx" and Group 4: Running Gear would have TSBs starting with "4xxx". Here is the general sequence: Group 0: Entire Vehicle Group 0: Diagnois, Part 1 Group 0: Diagnois, Part 2 Group 1: Engine Group 2: Fuel, Exhaust, Engine Electronics Group 3: Transmission Group 4: Running Gear Group 5: Body Group 6: Body Exterior Group 7: Body Interior Group 8: Air Conditioning Group 9: Electrics Some items are covered under "Campaign Information". These are also included with the TSBs and are labeled with "W" numbers. "W" is for Workshop Service Action. Porsche started a Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign in the Fall/Winter of 2004. For a complete listing go to the Contributing Members forum and read the Cayenne item "Cayenne Quality-improvement Workshop Campaign, Fall/Winter 2004" pinned at the top of the forum. Your dealer should check your VIN against all of these outstanding WSA's and perform any that are needed - at no charge. Some of the items you describe are simple software updates to the PCM2 and DME.

    The top clips are on the vent. The parts list only shows the whole vent assembly.
  14. Loren
    Should be clips at the top that engage above the vent and tabs on the side that engage in clip on the sides of the vent. Top clip Side tabs
  15. Loren
    Have a look at Scouser's In-dash Spoiler Switch Mod in the DIY section here. He describes how he got power for illumination.
  16. Loren
    There should be locking tabs on the back of the U shaped part that lock into clips in the vent and the sides.

    With or without headlight washers? 996 613 508 10 A05 Cap with symbol (no headlight washers) -- retail $3.47 996 613 507 10 A05 Cap with symbol (with headlight washers) -- retail $3.47

    That part number does not come up in the parts system. The early Boxster side skirts were 986 559 983 00 and 986 559 984 00 (left and right sides). Carrera side skirts all start with 996 559 983 xx and 996 559 984 xx. That may be the raw (pre coated) part number for a Boxster side skirt. Unless that is the basis for the RUF side skirt (they build on to that) it will not likely fit a Carrera.

    It was $7 when I bought one in 2000. I think Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) has them for around $20. Such a shame that Porsche has decided to gouge folks for this simple item.
  20. Loren
    Have them check the swaybar to see if it is loose (fairly common). They should check the strut too - fairly rare but I have seen a couple loose or bad struts.
  21. Loren
    IMHO - no. That weakness from earlier 911 designs was fixed starting with the 986 and 996 series cars. Remove your battery cover and you will see that you already have two strut braces. As a matter of fact these are the same strut braces used in Cup Cars.
  22. Loren
    You've got mail...
  23. Loren
    You can find Scouser's DIY here.
  24. Loren
    Most of the signals come off the DME (engine computer). Unless your VW type 1 is "really new" I doubt it has those level of signals.
  25. Loren
    Scouser, Any pics? Like before and after? (during if you have them too)
