  1. Try 9713
  2. The rotors should if they fail the minimum tolerances as measured on the rotor and/or thickness, runout, obvious signs of scoring, or cracks. $1000 seems pretty steep to me for rear brakes - I would get a second quote from a good independent Porsche shop.
  3. Did you check the level in the PDCC reservoir? If that is okay - then you will likely need a PIWIS to further diagnose which sensor and what may be bad (pump, valve, etc.).
  4. Always helpful if you tell us the exact model and year of the car...
  5. Try 1352 Thank you Loren for your fast respond, but it did not work. Did you obtain the serial number using the procedure in the Lost Radio Code FAQ? If not, then please do so and re-submit.
  6. Try 1352
  7. It will be bank 1 sensor in front of the cat (engine side). There are diagrams of where bank 1 is here. You will need an O2 sensor socket (with the slot for the wire) to remove an replace it. Do not get oil or lubricate anywhere near the sensor.
  8. did you see the list of possible causes?
  9. P0030 Oxygen Sensor Heating Output Stage Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Open Circuit Possible fault cause - Break in wiring in voltage supply of oxygen sensor heating - Break in wiring in connection to ground of oxygen sensor heating - Fuse FE17 faulty (fuse carrier in E-box, radiator tank) - Oxygen sensor faulty (heating resistance too high) - DME control module faulty Start by checking fuse FE17 (E-box, radiator tank)
  10. Exact model and year of your car please?
  11. This topic is likely not going anywhere useful - so I'll close it for now.
  12. It should be 4150 - so it looks like you will need to contact a dealer or Becker -- sorry.
  13. Did you obtain the serial number using the procedure in the Lost Radio Code FAQ? If not, then please do so and re-submit.
  14. Try 4150
  15. Yes, it would appear that those are the wrong plugs for a Cayenne Turbo. The correct plugs for a Cayenne Turbo are: 999 170 228 90 Cayenne S Spark Plugs The V8 naturally aspirated engine has nickel-yttrium spark plugs with four ground electrodes, which must be changed every 36,000 miles (60,000 km) or after 4 years according to the Technical Manual. Cayenne Turbo Spark Plugs The V8 turbo engine has air gap spark plugs with one double-platinum ground electrode, which must be changed every 24,000 miles (40,000 km) or after 4 years.
  16. You may be confusing CAN with MOST. MOST is for audio and navigation systems communication. MOST is on fiber optic cables. CAN is for operation controls modules to communicate. CAN is on conventional wires. The wiring diagrams from Porsche show various MOST configurations (depending on options).

  18. Try 7604
  19. Do you mean replace PCM 2.1 with PCM 3.0? I see to remember someone doing that... perhaps it was in a Cayenne.
  20. I am also 6 ft and I have manual seat adjustments - my helmet hits the roof too. Best you can do short of replacing the seat with GT3 (racing buckets) is to open the sunroof vent (raised at the rear only) - at least that is what I do.
  21. Yes yellow - but I think your car has the diversity antenna (amp) which is between the PCM and the antenna. Is this a repair or what are you trying to do?
  22. It should be labeled "G1".
  23. Exact model and year of your car please?
  24. Thanx Guys. JFP, how is it less capable or what doesn't it do? Jl-c is right the Windows emulator does not work well. It is tolerable with Office but that is about it. It choked on my medical EMR. I am new to this code business. The yellow car croaked about a month ago. I had to have it flat beded to the dealer. The day before it had rained hard. It had codes in it that told the tech that it had misfires on three cylinders. All of my coils were cracked and water got into them. It cost me $1500 for coils and plugs. They sold me NKG plugs for $36 each! They are $4.95 at Pelican. Nobody told me that the original coils in 997s were crap. If I had known I could have watched for it and I could have done it myself for $600 if I could read the codes. Lesson learned. All I really want to do at this point is read the codes and reset the car unless there is something that could be very useful to me with the Durametric. I have not spent much time with the latest version of this scanner, but these things are more code readers than a true diagnostic tool. The one that I looked at could not read cam deviation values, would not reset air bag or service reminders, was incapable of re-coding a car (activating on board computers, cruise controls, steering angle resets, activate the ABS/PSM system to bleed air out of it, etc.), etc. The fact that their advertising says it works on multiple European brand models raises a big flag as Porsche has long been known for have a unique diagnostic system. Even the guys that make excellent diagnostic tools for VW and Audi will tell you that their tools are hamstrung on a Porsche and to go to Durametric. I'm sure it will read global OBD II codes on a Porsche, but remain circumspect that it can function in the traditional "protected codes" areas of the car. The only tools that I know of that can do that are the Durametric, PIWIS, and AutoLogic systems. And before you ask, an AutoLogic tool set up for Porsche is approaching $12K, plus updates. Thanx JFP. It is only a code reader and resetter. This particular version is Porsche specific and I do think it reads all the codes. At least it has one chapter on OBD codes and other chapters on stuff like the seats. I have no way of knowing if it is missing codes. $12,000 is out of the question. If I had that money now it would go into a Fabspeed perfomance system for the Turbo :-) I'll look into a cheap Laptop. The consumer Durametric is limited to three cars. Do you know what happens when you run out of cars? Can you buy an extension or do you just have to buy another one? The only other way out of this one is to spend twice as much on the Indie version. How do you get updates?? I believe that you can either convert the Enthusiast version to the Pro for a fee, or get the unit reset back to three available for a fee. As I have always used the Pro version, I am not sure of the exact proceedures, but if you drop Durametric an email, I'm sure they will fill in any details for you. Periodically, with no definitive time pattern, Durametric releases a new version with patches, bug fixes and new features. When they do, you go to their website and download the new version, following the instructions on the site to replace the older version. Updates are unlimited and completely free. One last question JFP. Does the Durametric now do what ever it takes to change the clutch fluid in PDKs?? The Durametric model matrix is here
  25. Try 8787
