    Thanks guys, will have this checked on my next service! By the way, why would I get a air suspension faulty workshop message on startup but find not codes with my durametric software? :(
  2. Reborn996
    Well, good news and bad news... most of the codes did not come back but the P0021 did. What would be a good next step in dealing with that code? How serious is it? David

    Okay, was looking to spruce up a 2004 Cayenne TT and the TechArt stuff is just too much money. I did see that there was a Porsche SportDesign kit available but not much for pics of it. Is this the same as the GTS kit? Any good sources for pics or buying one of these kits? Suncoast and Sunset did not seem to have a listing for this... :( David

    I checked the TSB on installing an XM Radio kit but it says that it will only work on PSM 2.1? I have the PSM 2.0 with 3.0 software, is there any kit from Porshe that will work with it? David

    Thanks Loren, I am waiting to see if the codes come back at this point since it seems to drive nice. I do know about the coil packs and will probably just replace them all for piece of mind (not much money and worth doing with the spark plugs anyways). Not sure on the CAN issue, what would be a symptom of an issue based on that code? Thankfully, I did get an extended warranty on this when I bought it just in case. :) David

    Okay, just picked up a 2004 Cayenne TT and used my durametric software to check it out...came up with P0021 and P0351 for the DME and 470 for the Instrument Cluster. I cleared them and they did not come back right away. Just wanted to see what these were and what could be wrong. Also, I sometimes get a Air Suspension warning when I start the car but it seems to be okay and I did not see any other fault codes listed for any other modules other than the above. Is that a big deal? David

    FYI, finally found out what it was... the wheel bearings! Just replaced all of them and all fixed. David

    I thought about brake pads as well... but applying the brakes makes no change in sound. It is more the throttle actuation that seems to make it come and go which is weird. I was thinking some suspension bushing might be it but not sure. Even thought about the exhaust system couplings since the engine movement under load might cause it to go away under throttle like that. What about wheel bearings? Would they behave this way if they were going bad? David

    Okay, I have had a weird pulsing squeek sound coming from the rear of my car for a few weeks now... unfortunately I cannot find it without the car moving, so I wanted to run the symptoms by you fine folks to see if you can help. The sound is wheel speed dependent and coming from the rear (not sure which side but sounds like drivers), is not effected by braking or steering, goes with wheel rotation and not engine rpm (present in all gears), and goes away when under throttle. It is most noticeable when coasting or under deceleration... the minute I hit the gas it goes away. It is not always present but is about 75% of the time. I have PSS9 coilovers but have had them for many months with no issues. Any ideas on what to look for? My troubleshooting idea on this was to lift the rear of the car and put the rear suspension on jackstands to keep it under load... then start the car (carefully of course) and see if I can hear anything with it in gear. Anyways, the sound is driving my nuts so any help is appreciated! David

    Thanks Loren, looks like I will need to use the newer supports too... hmm, makes me think I should just get the NR Auto polyurethane bumper and skip the bumperettes altogether. :lol: David
  11. Reborn996
    Okay, been trying to work with my local Porsche dealer on getting the correct bumperettes for my turbo look rear bumper. The stock ones form my 99 bumper do not fit it well. We ordered a set of twin turbo 2001 bumperettes but they were the same as my 99. All of the bumperettes in the dealer showroom all looked the same as my 99! Then at the work on car day we had here in San Jose I saw another NB C2 with a turbo look bumper and the correct bumperettes... but he bought the car that way and had no idea that type they were. I have included pics, can anyone tell me the part number for this style? Thanks, David :renntech:

    Thanks Loren, I will check with Suncoast and see how much our costs is! David

    Okay, at this weekends Santana Row meet I saw a 2000 911 C2 Cab with the factory aero kit. In place of the normal third brake light there was a plastic panel with the words "Porsche" on it. When talking to the owner he said the car came that way. The wing he had was the non-adjustable Taco style with a built in third brake light. Since I am also using a fixed mount GT2 style wing I am not using the factory third brake light... I would like to replace it with this replacement panel. Does anyone have a part number for this part? My local Porsche dealer did not even know how to look up the wiring harness for fixed mount spoilers! :rolleyes: Thanks, David
  14. Reborn996
    Hmm, might have to pencil this one in! Not much work to do on my car but I could use some minor programming work with the PST tool... Would also be good to hang out and meet you guys in person! David

    I recently had this type of symptom with my 1999 (it has traction control rather than PSM). It turned out during my recent steering rack install that I had broken a wire for one of the speed sensors for the ABS system. If you can run a diagnostic on the ABS system it should tell you which wheel it might be... David
  16. Reborn996
    I am definately up for this.... I have already had many a work on car day rebuilding my current Porsche and previously when I was building up my Audi A4. I can also host as well as I have most tools, two jacks, four jack stands, a compressor with air tools, service manual on CD for my 1999 911, etc... Let me know if anything like this comes up. P.S. I am in Tracy if that matters. David
  17. Reborn996
    Shoot, so it may still be under the battery... guess I will just have to start tearing the car apart and looking for this thing. ;) David

    Since you are in Petaluma, you might want to check out Rod at Car Audio Innovations. He specializes in Porsche and is located in Sacramento. David
  19. Reborn996
    You are da man!!! I guess Porsche was wrong, its behind the wheel liner. Will check it tonight and hopefully replace the darn thing! Thanks again! :renntech: David
  20. Reborn996
    Okay, but it appears the sensor is more towards the gas tank than the evap canister or fuel filler... that is why I think it may be near the battery tray area. Hmm... you would figure Porsche would know how to install their own sensor! ;) Is there anything in the service manual about this sensor? David
  21. Reborn996
    Well, I have done a full stereo replacement including door and dash speakers. I used the Focal speakers that Rod at Car Audio Innovations recommended. It takes a little work to get them to fit into the odd mountings Porsche uses but they sound great! I am also using a custom built sub box with two JL Audio 8" subs that go behind the rear seats. Very clean install and except for the in-dash Nav unit it looks mostly stock. Rod can source the Focal speakers for you if you want them. David Do you have door speakers or not?
  22. Reborn996
    Okay, don't shoot me... but this is the same drawing I got from Porsche when I picked up the part... but it does not really show me where the sensor is in relation to the car itself. They thought it might be in the area of the battery but their techs have not done a replacement of this part before so they could not verify. Is there any better picture or service procedure that shows the replacement process better? Sorry to be such a nitpicker on this... ;) :renntech: David name='Loren' date='Jun 18 2007, 12:40 PM' post='71882'] MY99 Fuel Tank Ventilation System 1 - EVAP canister purge valve 2 - EVAP canister 3 - Purge air 4 - Tank 5 - Tank pressure sensor 6 - Shutoff valve 7 - Operating purge valve 8 - To intake manifold 9 - Vacuum control valve
  23. Reborn996
    Okay, after clearing the P0452 CEL multiple times I finally purschased the tank pressure sensor to fix this. However, I have no clue how to install it... Does anyone have any information on where this sensor is located and how to get to it? I believe the dealer said it was on top of the gas tank next to the sending unit. Is that under the battery tray? Thanks, David
  24. Reborn996
    Thanks Loren, thought it would be the passenger side. David
  25. Reborn996
    Okay, after searching the forums I know I have a potential seatbelt or grounding wire issue... but I could not find out which side the P49 code refers too... does anyone have this info? Thanks, David
