    On a 987 is the left brake light directly connected to the switch, the right and 3rd brake lights are connected to the rear control box via the switch. Check whether the correct switch is installed and if the fuses are still intact.
  2. RFM
    Are these really tires or banana peels? Not on my car, no way, know for sure.
  3. RFM
    Reminder, when the car is lifted with the wheels off the ground, ignition on and in horizontal position, the air suspension, if present, must be switched off.
  4. RFM
    No, the wheels do not need to spin, therefor it is not necessary to jack up the car. Only with the engine running, handbrake on and foot on the brake pedal, go slowly through the various positions and back should be sufficient.

    What you mean with "inner hub" are you sure it's about the power steering pump pulley? By a broken shaft/pulley combination you have no more power steering and/or the combination simply falls off. Your specified pully combination refers more to the AC compressor or alternator with free wheel pulley, the explanation sounds a little confusing to me.
  6. RFM
    You can have it right, with some alternators, the build-in water pump rattle (water cooled alternator, you know), the sound is the same as a defective engine water pump. In this case there is no other option than replace the alternator again.

    Can not see it very well, but it would be quite the transmission breather hose.

    Mijostyn's post made a good point regarding the use of PIWIS, only the explanation regarding the communication between the control boxes/gateway via fiber optic cable is not entirely correct, he probably meant canbus, fiber optic is associated with audio.
  9. RFM
    Hard to tell with any certainty, not usually but it can be. It's a small effort to check the connector, just follow the wiring comming from the pump units.
  10. RFM
    Check the fuel pumps main connector under the car floor, at the level and behind the left wheel arch. There are some overheating problems inside the connector by malfunctioning fuel pumps.
  11. RFM
    This is worth a try.

    Is it not stamped somewhere on de assy, which you have purchased, in relation to the recycling legislation?

    You have to push and keep the colored ring close to the fitting, than pull out the plastic hose. It is a help if you have some lubricant between the hose and the ring/fitting. There exist a small bauble of tool, a kind of fork, to make it easier.

    As Always, error codes are required. Let the car scan and quote the codes here on the forum so members can help more targeted, as indicated it could be anything. Guesswork is not recommended and rarely produces some positive results.

    You can see and feel if the spring moves smooth, or jumps with shock at left-right steering wheel movements. The condition of bearing is indeed difficult to assess without removing and dismantling the strut.
  17. RFM
    Sounds like the trembling of the suspension spring, is the top bearing of the strut still intact?
  18. RFM
    I would suggest to delete all error codes, perform a long testdrive and recheck back on error codes. Those who remain or reappear are eligible for further research, too much and too old codes lead to a chaotic situation.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/45244-window-drop-passenger-side/?hl=%2Bwindow+%2Bregulator Is this what you're looking for?
  20. RFM
    This is a normal phenomenon, after a certain time of use there are deposits on the spot where the arc flash is standing. This is applicable to all xenon lamps after time.

    Remove the most rear part of the headliner, this with the light, the rubber hose of the washer is visible using a flashlight and possibly a mirror, probably the hose is jumped from the nosle or the intermediate part. With a fine nose pliers you can get it there again, if the hose is not torn up or stretched open on the connection section. Take a good look if there is no water damage to any existing electronic control boxes.
  22. RFM
    Disconnect the ground, under the carpet, in front of the drivers seat for 10 minutes, reconnect, clear the codes and try again. If the result remains the same, have the battery load tested. A battery which has been dead for about two months promised not much good.
  23. RFM
    If your car is a Tiptronic, check out the possibility of coolant infiltration, through the ATF cooler, in to the gearbox. This does not happen very often but still possible.
  24. RFM
    As the center console is removed, remove the nut on the handbrake cable clamping device and remove the entirity from the handbrake mechanism. Remove the four nuts holding the handbrake mechanism on the bottom plate, the carpet can stay in place.
  25. RFM
    Indeed, but i think there is no difference between LHD and RHD for this item, the placement of the respective AC hard ware components are independent of where the steering wheel is located.
