These DIY's are awesome. Does anyone have one for an Oil Change on 2001 996 Turbo? The pictures listed for non-turbos do not look the same for the turbo. Thank you!
Near the bottom of the page are DIY's for GT3, TT and GT2.
The Oil Change for Turbos is here

All,
Can anyone advise whether enabling the OBC via the PST2 before you complete the installation and wiring will illustrate any error or fault code on the PST2, because the wiring isnt complete and present in the car?
I ask this in the event that my OPC tell me they have tried to enable it, and get an error and then decide they can't complete the process, when in fact this may be normal as the complete circuitry isnt present.
Cheers
No. Turning on the OBC will not generate an error/fault code. Mine is on right now (and has been for 3 years). I also have not done the OBC hack - I just get the outside temp. I have a scanner and my car shows no fault codes.
But your dealer should check for any fault codes BEFORE they turn it on - that's just plain "good practice".
-
No, the dealer must do this with a PST2/3.
The idea behind the airbag control is that when the child seat is present it shuts off the airbag - and when you remove the child seat it turns it back on. Sounds like a safe solution to me...
-
Not as long as you keep the cats and oxygen sensors.I also plan on putting a different exhaust system on the car, probably the gemballa back end. Will I need to make adjustments to the emissions if i do that? -
Have a look at this thread to see how to mod the switching...
If you don't have the full (factory) install instructions -- PM me and I will email them to you.

The studs (M 8 x 22) that come out of the turbos are: 900 081 059 00
The gasket is: 996 111 217 70
The nuts (for the studs) are: 999 084 052 02
and the washers are: 900 031 032 02

The gray item in the center of your picture is the solenoid. If you follow the black vacuum lines one should go to the check valve.

One of our members, CoreyNJ, has written an excellent DIY for the PCM 2. This is for the MOST equipped cars only. We have posted in the DIY section.You can read/print the PCM 2 DIY here.THANKS Corey!! :clapping:

Thanks for the info, car has never had any electrical hacking, what about the switch in the seat belt receptacle? could that be bad? I've also been told that the ground contact from the seat frame to the body may be poor. What do you think?
Thanks, Roy
On Scouser's car there was a TSB for seat belt contacts making poor connection. That problem was (supposedly) fixed on production cars in Sept. 1999. AND, that fault caused the airbag to go on all the time -- not off.
There is a ground under the drivers seat but you must remove the drivers seat to get to it. To remove the drivers seat you need an E12 (external Torx) socket and to be safe you should disconnect the battery so you don't trigger an airbag accidently. Or, since your car is still likely under warranty you could let the dealer trace this down.
-
I sent you an email with the TSB. It has all the details.
-
The air bag and seat belt circuits are different so this is odd. So, my first question is whether any electrical work has been done on the car recently (stereo, OBC hack, etc.). This sounds like something is mis-wired or the instrument cluster has gone bad.

It would be cool to figure out how to enable this to work with just the regular seats if possible :)
The control unit for mirror memory is only in the seats with seat memory option M537 (left seat memory) and M538 (right seat memory).
-
No not yet. I have some TSBs on their way to me now though.
When there is a problem such as this the NHSTA usually gives companies time to find a fix, test the fix and then implement fix. We don't end up hearing much until stage 3.
-
Loren, When my car arrives later this month, It will have the factory PSE. In order to have the default set to closed at start, and open by the switch, are you saying that all I have to do is turn the black and white check valve around?
Changing the check valve just reverses how it works from the factory. So, to have full control via the switch you need to perform the mod here
-
If your car has the full electronic and vacuum install then just reverse the white/black check valve... or install the switch and mod to control it with the switch.

You've got mail...

Have a look at this thread and then let me know if you want the instructions. Also, Porsche recently introduced a new type ignition switch (TSB 4/03 2804 Replacement Ignition Switch dated 11-24-2003).

Here is what they use in the TSBs:
999 911 606 40 Teflon adhesive tape (20 mm wide)
993 555 545 00 Narrow felt tape (15mm wide)

If you want I can send you the two parts lists and you can compare them. Inside the door is different because the windows are different but the panel side parts may work. PM me with your email address if you want the parts lists.

Same routine - required by law I believe. Should be an exchange part though.

In most cases the O2 sensor is not the problem - it is the device reporting the problem.
P1128 and P1130 say that the fuel mixture is so lean that the DME can not increase the richness enough to compensate. This is usually caused by an intake (or exhaust) system leak, a blocked fuel filter, or low fuel pump pressure. Since (both sets of 3) cylinder banks report the same issue it is unlikely a fouled injector.
