    You always can check the power steering level and the possition - state of the front engine mount, the silent block have to sit straight in the middle of the mount and free of cracks.

    I suggest to replace all the coils for a good working engine regardless the other problems. Do what Pop recommend in his post to start with.

    The oil pressure looks good to me, it depends the engine temperature, 2 bar @ idle when hot is not bad. For the other points, if i was you, contact an automobile expert for expertise the car and send a copy of his report with a copy of the bill-invoice and your personal complaints to Porsche import Ireland to consider and observe the procession of this for you inaccessible situation. Success.

    Unknown is even with PIWIS unknown, clear them and wait for real fault codes. Unknown codes can appears even from outside signals, high tension cables or radio signals.

    60 USD for a rebuild starter motor? It concerns the hour rate a guess, what about the spare parts? Can i immigrate to the states or i'm i to old?

    The handle is fixated with two nuts on the inside of the door and by the connector lock-- handle, pull the black plastic part of the connector to the back and than downwards to separate, loose the two nuts and pull the handle out. The outside door handle is twin piece made, the painted handle + plate and the blank metal back plate with the cylinder lock and extension. The back plate and the cylinder lock is a one piece construction.

    It is not necessary to remove the B pillar trim completely, you can hang the trim a side. Don't forget to remove the rear seat back latch with an Allen key. Look out for the belt upper trim, you have to remove him complete and in one piece, do it with a small screwdriver from the back he is clicit over the back plate. Success.
  9. RFM
    There is a screw behind the belt on top of the trim in the reinforcement area, all the rest are clips, you have to pull on top of the trim and lift a little so that the bottom fixation pin can come out.

    Check the electric connector in the A - pillar for corrosion. You have to open him with a torx key.

    Do you have park lights? Try with a spare light switch.

    If you got the same result when pulling on the outside or inside door handle be sure that the door lock is faulty. You have to change the lock, you can do it by yourself if you are handy. There are two critical points, the insert of the door lock cylinder extension and the outside door handle connection. There is a lot of information to dismount the door trim on this forum.

    Do you have battery troubles than. Bad battery's can hive you odd things like buzzing electrovalves and bad working engines, check this out befor you strip the car.
  14. RFM
    The lever lock electro motor is located under the trim.

    You have to LOOK first!!! It takes only one hour, if you are not sure try to find spare ones and do a test or go to the dealer for an inspection.

    In case of problems with coils, spark plugs or injectors the CEL stays always on. In case of cat. problems the CEL blinks over 6000 RPM and go's out below 6000 RPM, this is typical for ROW cars. The misfire indication in the memory is the same as for a bad coil, only the CEL function is different. You have to look on the front and rear side of the cat, there are only two cats on a ROW 2003 one left and one right.

    The amount of KM is not the question, the question is what has happened!
  18. RFM
    Typical catalyst problem, once over 6.000 rpm the cats can not absorb the volume of exhaust gasses they're cleaning capacity are reduced, take apart the cat section and give a look inside with a endoscope, i bet that they are partial blocked or even melted. The CEL will blink at that moment, if you loose the throttle the CEL go's out.

    The Porsche crest on the hatch is a modification, mostly on V6, there are a lot over here.
  20. RFM
    You need fault codes for alarm issues ( alarm horn beeps twice ). PIWIS or similar tool is necessary to read out.
  21. RFM
    Look for good connection rubber intake hose to throttle body, small crack in oil filler pipe, AOS + connections and pipes, vacuum line to the brake booster and brake booster as well, all small vacuum lines coming from the engine area and their connections etc. Good hunting.
  22. RFM
    Go to your dealer 99% chance that a new wake up procedure can help.
  23. RFM
    Whe never build the alternator out for a VOLTAGE check.
  24. RFM
    The left rear fog light is used for R H Traffic. The right rear fog light is used for L H Traffic. No more no less.
  25. RFM
    The circuit routing is, alternator - starting motor - box. In other worths the alternator + wire is connected with the starter + wire on the starter input.
