    Broken or loose cable connection on the gearbox could be the answer, take a look under the car.

    Good chance the OPC got it right, a faulty valve lifter. It is not necessary to change all the lifters, only the faulty one is needed. The engine can stay in place to do the job, just removing the exhaust and let sink the engine on the rear a little.
  3. RFM
    Definitely not possible, the PCM 3 is totally different as system ( hard disc system ).

    Action will take place, generally spoken, before reaching the limit, don't worry about that.

    There was an issue with the Cayenne PCM 2 concerning overheating of the non Bose unit two years ago, they are replaced. I have no info for 996. Some 997 PCM 2.1 have a cooling fan on the navi. DVD drive in the front trunk, but it have nothing to do with your problem.

    1,5 gr/km. = 1,500 kg./1.000 km. for all Porsche engines.

    Looks like the gearbox is a Tiptronic ( oil pump ), the best option is to buy a rebuild box with two years warranty.

    For so far as i know the DFI system is working well, programming ( injection timing, etc. ) injectors, high pressure pump and DFI related parts gives no more problems as expected, in contrary it is successful. The engines use a little more oil than the IFI natural aspirated engines. So far, so good.

    Chuck As you know turbo pressure plates are different in construction as the water cooled Carrera's, they looks and use approx. the same system as the former air cooled engines ( the pressure plate is pulled by the bearing, bearing is spring loaded installed in the middle of the plate at the end of the diaphragm fingers, and not pushed ) I noticed during the years, that in most cases of vibrations in the clutch pedal, both fingers ends of the release lever that grabs the release bearing get a small different thickness by use which result in vibrations. If you replace the bearing and the lever on a clutch job as well, you never will have a vibration problem.

    Agree with Sputter.

    You need a electric diagram i guess, comfort control or something. Unfortunately i cant help you out, we don't have chimes, drums or trumpets in our cars :)

    I mean photo 1 ( before cleaning ) an oil spot is obvious visible on the left condenser, i should take a look if i was you.
  13. RFM
    jpflip Looks like the left airco condenser is leaking !
  14. RFM
    It is not possible to replace PCM 2 or 2.1 by PCM 3. It is even not possible to replace or retrofit PCM 3 Low by PCM 3 High, look out if you order a new car !
  15. RFM
    Looks like the door window is out of adjustment front<>rear and up<>down, i have no idea why you can open the door on the out side and not at the inside without hitting the rear side window, it is the same handling after all.
  16. RFM
    If the on board volt meter shows values above 15 volt and some idiot lights comes on, there is probably a issue with the voltage regulator in the alternator. Issues as this are not always present, i suggest to check the fault codes which are linked to Voltage above or under the specs values.
  17. RFM
    The window in the upper possition, remove the copper colored plate ( wire rooter ), disconnect the lock > outside door handle connection, there is room enough to get the lock out.
  18. RFM
    If you mean the carpet trim behind the rear seats where the DME is located, grab the middle of the vertical part and lift a little so that the left and right side part comes free, than pull.
  19. RFM
    Use only the bit and a very well used 6 mm open key ( approx. 6.5 mm ), it takes only 5 minutes.
  20. RFM
    The switch is build in the lock and not available separately, a new lock is recommended. If you are able to get in the lock and look what's wrong, perhaps a stuck mechanical part, and you can fix it, it's up to you.
  21. RFM
    You will need the PIWIS tester to be sure, most possible faults are: front top central locking mechanism ( with the hook ) and rear side flaps micro switches.
  22. RFM
    If you can use someones Porsche tester, than you can check the switches one by one to find the faulty one.
  23. RFM
    I cant speak for US cars and the mods there are done on the car, but most of the European versions ( depends on country ) have no dash light if the switch is in auto possition or on day driving light.
  24. RFM
    There is no coolant change required under normal conditions. ( no intermix oil-coolant by engine or heat exchanger failure )
  25. RFM
    If the car is equipped with the PDCC ( Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control ) option, a slight knocking noise is licit. Depends on the intensity of the noise.
