    The threads I posted said how to solve your alarm going off after a dead battery and how to replace the ignition switch. There are many many threads on releasing the front bonnet latch. So, I guess I don't understand what problem has not been addressed...

    Model and year car please? US/Canada or RoW?

    How do you know when the sensors are worn into? Is it just increased brake noise or is there an actual warning light? The brake sensors are just a wire. When the wire wears through it breaks the connection and the light turns on.

    :welcome: For your future reference the OBD II fault codes (for your car) can be found here. P0133 Signal Period for Oxygen Sensor Aging, Bank 1 – Above/Below Limit Potential causes: – Oxygen sensor ahead of TWC – Wiring (oxygen sensors exchanged) P1275 Signal Delay Time for Oxygen Sensor Aging, Bank 1 – Above/Below Limit – Oxygen sensor ahead of TWC – Leak ahead of TWC or in the area of the oxygen sensor after TWC – Wiring (oxygen sensors exchanged) Looks like the O2 sensor on bank 1 ahead of the TWC is not responding within limits. If you have more than 60,000 miles chances are it is worn out.

    Depends on the pulley that broke and whether it boke the alternator mount.

    Perhaps a brake sensor wire has become disconnected or broken.
  14. Loren
    Take the belt off - check each pulley for wobble. There should be none.

    Try 2470 or 2468 Thank you for the fast reply! I tried the codes and it locked me out with the "WAIT". So now do I have to wait for an hour before trying a few variants? Or is there another way to enter multiple codes without being locked out? Like try one, then turn the car off and remove the keys before trying a second variant? Anything like that? thank you! Did you read the FAQ? You have to wait 1 hour - with the radio on and ignition switch on (or the car running).

    As a Contributing Member you can read the TSB 10/04 4440 Winter Tires and Wheels -- dated Sep 15, 2004 here online. It has all the information...

    I would do it yourself. The 911 is the easiest oil change I have ever done. The filter and plug are right there when you crawl under behind one of the rear wheels. No need to jack up the car. I have done it twice on my 2008 C2S. The hardest part, literally, is taking the 8 1/2 quarts of oil to the recycling center and having a big enough drain pan. I purchased filters, an oil filter wrench (used with a socket wrench), and replacement plugs from Suncoast. They were great and the prices are right. I don't have the part numbers but you will get the right parts if you select your car on Suncoast's web site (http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?) Here is some info on sizes and torque settings: Oil drain plug: 8mm hex Oil drain plug tightening torque: 37 ft-lbs Oil filter canister size: 74 mm Porsche oil filter canister removal tool socket size: 27 mm (1-1/16 socket fits perfectly) Oil filter canister tightening torque: 19 ft-lbs You also need a torque wrench to be sure and get everything tightened down properly. Your torque values don't agree with others I've seen, which are 18 ft lbs for oil drain plug, and 1.8 foot pounds for oil canister. These are what I torqued mine to today when I changed my oil. According to the 997 Porsche Service Manual Drain plug: 37 ftlb. (50 Nm) Oil Canister: 19 ftlb. (25.8 Nm) So, rdevillers is correct.

    The fuel door does have a lock and it is part of the factory alarm system.
  21. Loren
    The longer your car sits (and oil drain down out of the lifters) the longer you will hear lifter noise at startup. It's normal.
  22. Loren
    Usually 2 beeps means more than one fault or some other alarm problem. If you get 1 beep after fixing the fuel door catch - then you have one more zone to fix.
  23. Loren
    Still I suggest a stainless steel screw.
