  1. Boy.......I have no clue how to get pics up here.........both the pics I tried are in my 'Garage' here........help?
  2. Apologies.........try these links......sorry: H&R one H R new
  3. There is a rubber bushing that I have to replace on the top of these year and half old front H&R front coil-overs (the pics are when new)........the bushing fits right into the top of the conical alluminum strut top. As you can see, it's a 2 stage spring......top one probably is still too stiff to deal with? So.......I'm going to need a spring compressor to get at this aren't I ?
  4. Thanks Tobler..........that should do it......exactly what I needed....thanks again.
  5. I'm stumping Porsche by trying to buy a replacement rubber part that goes down on the rocker just ahead of the rear wheel MY02 regular body (C4 Cab in this case). It's like a mini-splash guard, and is soft rubber........apparently is not showing up in parts manuals or on the exploded drawings. Any ideas welcome.................TIA.
  6. Loren.........thanks for the idea on the harness or the connection. We replaced the Bank 2 sensor a couple weeks back after the PO155........after a couple weeks I got PO175 and PO155 and PO172 (supposedly in order of priority). Now I just get PO175 and PO172............and it seems, more often than not, to be tripped when I pull up to idle at a stop sign. We'll take a look at that wire and connection...........thanks.
  7. Golly this is confusing. Loren, I printed and tried to understand those charts a couple weeks ago. The second link in your post is to the menue page with links to 3 DME versions and a link to a Tip code chart. The 1st link in your post is just to one of the DME versions of the 2nd (5.2 DME code sheet early 986 & 996). Even if some of the codes are common to my car (MY01 Turbo, DME 7.8 not listed).....I still do not understand the chart.........The chart appears to have PI codes and PO codes intermixed......... and what is the "Fault" column? None of the PO codes I have experienced (PO155, PO175, PO172) appear to be listed.
  8. Thanks for the reply Loren. By 'P codes' above........do you mean P0xxx codes ......or P1xxx codes? I believe my $100 unit can read & reset pretty much all reg POxxx codes. And I've found that the description for what ea indicates is fairly easy to find online.........(example PO155, O2 sensor heater upstream of (ahead of) bank 2 cat. But I was curious as to why the shop told me that the fault codes displayed on their PST2 were P codes only - no Porsche codes.........and they had contacted their service software people to try to obtain Porsche codes...and then gave me info based on crossing over exact descriptions from ODB2 to matching Porsche fault code discriptions.
  9. Can someone explain to me the the dif between regular OBD codes and actual Porsche codes?........and how is it that a shop that has a Porsche Systems Tester2 might only be reading OBD codes?.....(like I do on my $100 tester). Was it that there's a software subscription from Porsche or something in order for a shop to continue having that info, or am I rcalling incorrectly?........TIA
  10. Is there a menue available that would have codes for Turbo & GT2 996 (DME 7.8)? I beleive I understand the one listed here in the ODB-II P-Code Menu section is for early 996 (DME 5.3.2).
  11. Not that specific issue....sorry. But I was drawn to your post because I also have an 01 and recently replaced the bank2 O2 sensor (upstream, before the cat).........now today I'm getting PO175, PO155, and PO172 (in that order of priority). I'm not seeing any of those on the Renntechs OBD list but the generic meaning on those is too rich on bank1, the O2 heater circut bank2 sensor 1, and then system too rich bank2. I'm probably going to reset and fill up at a dif filling station.......see if they pop up again.........other advice welcome & appreciated.
  12. Wow - I might just not be getting it. I go to that site and do not see where I can order or from where. I understand that there is software involved but what cable? Sorry for the stupid questions but I am just not getting it for some reason. :help: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's a hoaky site but all the info is there, inc a pic of the ISO version connector..............select 'Car Code' there......or if you are already on the "OBDII Automotive Scan Tool and Virtual Dashboard site, then scan down to Technical specs. and pictures of routers, connectors and cable
  13. Looks like a good set up. So it's call Randy in Chicago? .......I guess e-commerce hasn't rocked 'Midtex Automotive' yet :D
  14. Remember if you've ever scraped your current C4s chin......you def will scrape the OE Turbo. 2 simple screws inside ea wheel well...........turn your wheel to the left and unscrew right, to the right and unscrew left.......pull off. Install by snapping in center at bumber nose & wkg right & left till you get to the screws. BTW.....IMHO 'downforce' is a negligable dif sub 165.
  15. If you are refering to the chin spoilers (that attach below the bumper).......they are interchangable..........many Turbo owners w/lowered suspensions go to the C4S for a little more clearance (Turbo chin is a tad lower, especially out at the point of the nose).
  16. Bummer "Dealer only option"...........not sure I get that.....do you have a dealer reciept or invoice for the car that lists them?........if so, I would think you could get your money. Insurance companies seldom know all the options & configs anyway......just 'correct' them. If it's an aftermarket thing, that's different........only way to really have that covered is sep add-on coverage or a rider. As suggested.......I'd look hard for other damage.....must have been quite a jolt.
  17. Well before my car arrived I had suspension parts to get the car to a 'more pleasing' height & tighten up the ride, spacers to get the wheels where I wanted them, body shop appointment to paint all 6 ground affect abs pieces to car color & remove front/rear bumpers to fill Lplate holes/rear bumperette holes, custom paint front outside duct vents, of course clear side markers. Tons has happened since..........but all that before she went down the road new.
  18. So what is Clapton's car like?..........anyone know which Turbo? (and what mods :D )
  19. Thanks........that helps....pretty easy to see the dif between where pad has contact & not.....both sides would have to add up to that 6mm......Loren you do mean 6mm (ie 1/8" ea side)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here I found this data prieviously posted by yourself Loren......thanks. Here are the specs: Brake disc thickness, new -- front 28 mm, rear 24 mm Minimum brake disc thickness after machining* -- front 26.6 mm, rear 22.6 mm (* The brake disc must only be reworked symmetrically, i.e. from both sides evenly.) Brake disc wear limit -- front 26.0 mm, rear 22.0 mm Peak-to-valley surface roughness of the brake disc after machining, max. -- 0.006 mm Thickness tolerance of the brake discs, max. -- 0.02 mm Lateral runout of the brake disc, max. -- 0.03 mm Lateral runout of the wheel hub, max. -- 0.03 mm Lateral runout of the brake disc when installed, max. -- 0.06 mm
  20. Thanks........that helps....pretty easy to see the dif between where pad has contact & not.....both sides would have to add up to that 6mm......Loren you do mean 6mm (ie 1/8" ea side)?
  21. Well I guess that's one way to descibe it .......I'd prefer.........PSM will only re-engage if the car is out of shape at the time the brakes are applied. Point is, when PSM is off, only it's outputs are offline (it continues to sample data from ABS wheel spin, the yaw sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and steering wheel position. It's not going to interviene. You can continue to slip....and slip right off the road. If you brake however and your slide is more 7 degrees (I believe).......then PSM thinks your braking means you need help (and has already determined that over 7 in this situation is not a good thing).........and PSM will apply the program.
