    car continues to run very well again

    In fact a battery reset removed the CEL and everything is absolutely fine again, so seems the MAF simply gave up the ghost. Might be not a bad idea for people to carry a spare MAF around just incase as the car was barely driveable without it working
  3. richardc2cab
    I replaced the MAF and everything seems completely fine, so looks like it was a MAF that went bad, just need to removes the codes from the CEL and trust they don't return

    OK so I installed a new exhaust last weekend with 100 cell Cats, All was fine for a couple of days and then suddenly whlist sat at some traffic lights the engine check light came on the idle suddenly went and stayed extremely rough. The error messgae is "E GAS Throttle Idle Air Control" - have I simply blow the MAF ? or is it likely something else
  7. richardc2cab
    Yes it seems that Steve (aka Qmulus) is one of the few reliable people in the world who can do this for a reasonable price
  8. richardc2cab
    Qmulus has now repaired mine too, all works perfectly, great service thks Steve (Qmulus)
  9. richardc2cab

  11. richardc2cab

  12. richardc2cab

  13. richardc2cab
    Mat any news on your side ??
  14. richardc2cab
    If you search on google under "996 turbo instrument console oil level measurement" it throws up a few interesting posts
  15. richardc2cab
    seems like its a common problem !
  16. richardc2cab
    Sounds like you have the same problem as me, if you trawl the web its almost 210% certainly the cluster when you have replaced the measurement unit, I would ideally like someone to repair my cluster as it can be done
  17. richardc2cab
    any other thoughts please ?
  18. richardc2cab
    Palo Alto don't do 996 Cluster consoles it seems, North Hollywood never really responded to my emails
  19. richardc2cab
    thanks but I guess the instrument console just needs repairing or the appropriate circuit board does, whats the most effective way to get this done ? Can the part be bought for example
  20. richardc2cab
    Ok so I did something really stupid and in a dark garage hooked up a new battery the wrong way round. Everything is fortunately sorted except the engine oil level measurer which I understand after several searches is a problem in the instrument console unit and I understand it can be fixed by replacing one of the circuit boards ??? Anyone know more please
  21. richardc2cab
    Indeed fabulous product you just need to lie upside down in the footwell with a torch pretty easy
  22. richardc2cab
    tx. anyway I can check it visually, is it easy to replace
  23. richardc2cab
    2001 996 turbo sorry
  24. richardc2cab
    So after 4 months off the road, all is fine except I get the warning light for the Oil Level Measurement not functioning, any thoughts ? The Oil pressure gauge is good
  25. richardc2cab
    Ok guys any recommendations somebody must make 19"Winter tires for a 996 TT by now ?
