    The drainage diagrams for 986 and 987 are exactly the same, no difference whatsoever.
  2. RFM
    All that is normal in manual mode.
  3. RFM
    Check this one: http://www.turbo-partner.com/ro/, one of the best.

    I do not understand why they keeps coming back to a VIN number, IMS is after all engine related which have an indification itself, the engine number notably. Some cars (VIN numbers) have a second or even third engine already mounted with obviously different engine numbers, it is obvious that it is difficult or impossible to find out through the VIN. Take it from me that they know well in Stuttgart which bearing is mounted in which engine (engine number). "Deutsche grundlichkeit" you know, it is not because they do not communicate that they do not know how it is structured, i've been there long enough to know them.

    Properly resolved.

    The Tiptronic themselves are basicaly the same but the ratios, gears and differential, are different by type of vehicle and model year, it is advisable to keep the same year and type of Tiptronic, otherwise it would be an experiment regarding accelerations/top speed/shift points/etc. The difference between Tiptronic and Tiptronic-S is the ECU and the buttons, not the Tiptronic itself.
  7. RFM
    You can do it of course, but keep in mind that the converter should slide over differend splines. It is important to respect the distance of the converter (height) relative to the bellhousing, during assembly, otherwise it is a certainty that the splines and Tiptronic oilpump get damaged. Also replace the oil seal over the splines/in front of the oil pump, a certain degree of skill and experience is required given the high costs if things go wrong.

    That's for sure Paul, 1 litre is enough.
  9. RFM
    "bigbuzuki" has the correct answer, without error codes you can only guess which air regulating valve or motor causes problems.
  10. RFM
    So as to see and hear on your movie, it can be only a small detail. It is not that one of the cylinders is missing or so, therefor the engine does not shake enough. Check all the specified items, including the theottle/manifold connection. If you cant see anything, use a PIWIS or similar diagnostic tool to find out whats wrong.
  11. RFM
    Pentosin ATF is a good choise: http://www.pentosin.net/specsheets/Pentosin_ATF1.pdf It is true that ATF fluid only applies to the gearbox section of the Tiptronic. The differentiol section of the Tiptronic is filled with a 75W-90 manual transmision oil made by Shell. It is important that not ALL of the oil can be replaced by ATF fluid!! Beware of that.
  12. RFM
    If you have no proof of the previous owner, a stamped service manual or a detailed invoice, just replace the brake fluid.
  13. RFM
    The only thing that can affect the engine behavior, after replacing the plastic cooling pipes, is a leaking intake manifold gasket, a leak in the thin plastic tubes into the V of the engine or a small leak somewhere between both MAF and the manifold. If the CEL is not lit, is it still advisable using a diagnostic device, such as PIWIS, to check the engine actual values.
  14. RFM
    Great, a decade a go that was also the case, now whe can do it ourselves, what a progress we have made.
  15. RFM
    It is required by law oil-containing materials such as filters, to separate the metal parts from the paper parts, this takes extra time (costs), therefore only paper elements are used.
  16. RFM
    According the manufacturer, the cartridge type oil filter is inserted for environmental reasons. The bypass valve is used especially with cold engine, when the oil is thick and difficult to penetrate the paper filter, to prevent tearing off the paper by pressure. Let the valve where she is. It is therefore important to maintain the oil viscosity specified by the manufacturer. Also for the hex shaft of the oil pump, which can twist and break down at a later stage. Cold too thick oil requires too much force where the engine is not designed for.

    Why would you replace the battery if you have found the reason for the power drain already, the dash! It seems to my better to tackle this problem first.
  18. RFM
    I would not waste my time in the Secondary Air Injection pumps, 2009 MA DFI engines do not use pumps, you will not find them.
  19. RFM
    Probably one of the two injector fuses is blown, therefore one cylinderbank remains dry. These fuses usualy blown by a short, injector wiring or coils. Also the coils themselves can be shorted. The fuses are located in the fusebox left side in the engine compartment.
  20. RFM
    You have not mentioned the number of miles the car has done, it is possible that the guiding sleeve where the trust bearing slides on, is worn. This component is often "forgot" to replace.
  21. RFM
    There are different types of radial shaft seal, depending on the transmission number. Go to the dealer with the indification #, VIN, transmission, engine to be sure.
  22. RFM
    A leaking oil seal of the shafts going into the torque converter is a known issue, this seal is available separately. The transmission must be removed for replacement.
  23. RFM
    Usually referers to the control arms (2 on the front and 2 on the rear)while braking, however the noise does not improve after a while. It is important to define the complaint as specific as possible.
  24. RFM
    Watch out what you're doing, this engine is a V6 DFI ! Be sure that you connect the low pressure fuel line with the pressure gauge. Special tools are needed for the high pressure fuel system.
  25. RFM
    No they're not, but such problems can have various causes. You could see whether any of the turbo's is leaking oil, check the charge coolers for oil residus and at the same time the oil return pipe for cloging. There may with the engine itself, cylinders/piston rings for example, also be something wrong.
