    In that case, try to put the lock mechanisme a little deeper, so there is more tension to the rear part of the lid.
  2. RFM
    Turn both, left and right rubber buffers on the lid , one turn out and look what it gives.

    gbratk has it right, MY 04 use a cluster with build-in gateway, later MY have a gateway separately from the cluster. This is very important, otherwise it's lost money.

    Mechanics employed to an OPC get a copy after the end of the course on the subject in question, so it is not really meant for dealers and public. The intention is to use the copy as a reminder of how the systems works in general, and the differences with the previous product, in this case the 997 Turbo. So it works in Germany and in most European countries.

    Definitely not normal, looks like a problem with the PCV, have you the same result with the oil filler cap slightly lifted? If so i would suspect the AOS.

    Given no error codes are shown, the ABS itself will be fine. The tires can give a problem, have they the right size, are they too worn or have they become too harsh with age? As well as the brake pad/rotor combination condition. The ABS will not occur until, a preprogrammed, difference in wheel rotation has been established while braking.

    Recall MY 14 GT3

    RFM posted a topic in 991 GT3

    http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-recalling-911-gt3-over-fire-hazard.html One on fire in Italy and one in Switzerland, i do not know if the recall also applies to US.

    And the problem was ?

    Have you read this, http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/45090-seat-belt-adjuster-b-pillar-getting-cover-back-on/?hl=%2Bseat+%2Bbelt+%2Badjuster. Hope it helps.

    Neat job, well done congrats.

    The injector has continuously power, is operated (open) by a ground impulse switched by the DME. The injector can permanently remain open when the DME is defective or when the injector ground wire is permanently attached to the ground for some reason. However this is not common when the car is still with knowledge maintained or repaired. A ordinary leaking injector is in this case more common. Keep us informed.

    The problem with the dirty spark plug (cyl.#4)looks more oil than fuel, the reason why i think that is based on the functioning of the used DME engine management system. After a preprogrammed number of misfires, the DME will proceed to closing the injector of the respective cylinder to protect the cats. for overheating, the plug is therefore (fuel) dry when removed from the warm engine after a drive. I'm curious for the result and solution, after disassembling.I hope it can be resolved at minimum cost.

    I assume that the car is equipped with an alarm siren (ROW-RHD) and it is the siren which is sounding, right? The culprit is usually the build in battery of the sirene, 2004 is fairly old for build in battery's, You can disconnect the sirene temporary to find out what it gives, keep in mind that only the horn will go off in case of theft. Put the removed siren under a big pile of old clothes or rags, until its battery is completely empty.

    I assume that the diaphragm spring inside the pressure plate will be broken, hence the weak pedal and the burnt smell. Good idea by JFP relating to RMS/IMS.

    I would start with the electrical part of the ignition switch, this part creates all sorts of undefined problems after time. The switch is not expensive and easy to replace, the how to can be found by using the search button on top of the pages.

    On a 997/1 is the gateway still clung under the wipercover, left side in the corner, next to hinges of the front trunk lid, below a square black plastic cover fastened with screws. The seals of the covers L and R, and even more wiring protection, should be replaced/placed by a Workshop-action due water penetration in 2006/2007 i would guess. I did a lot of 997/1 with this issue.

    This is not a Porsche code label, from 987/997 there is no longer a separate code label, all codes are on a i-pass availlable from any OPC. upon presentation of residence and vehicle registration.
  18. RFM
    997/1 would sometimes have problems with the electronic ignition lock, hebce the loss or lack of power at terminal 15. For what's worth.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/45735-idle-speculation/page-2 read Loren's diagram conserning the error code. Hope it helps.

    P0102 - Either the MAF or the wiring is bad.
  21. RFM
    Hard to tell but freezing temperatures can cause some additional noises inside the car, however it surprises me that the compressor makes noise when activated, the AC would not work at freezing temperatures, same system as freezers. Maybe there is something wrong with the temperature sensors?
  22. RFM
    Check if all the disassembled parts, connectors and hoses, put back flawlessly and without any risk of airleaks. I suspect symptom # 3 could be the cause, anyway it would not hurt to scan the car with a diagnostic device such as PIWIS, it's useless to guess what needs to be done without a scan.
  23. RFM
    Let the system first have to scan and reprogram with a PIWIS diagnostic tool, it is highly unusual that all four handles were defective.
  24. RFM
    If the actuator works well with an additional power source, it seems that either the respective wire is interupted or not receiving power. This can be easily traced with a multimeter.
  25. RFM
    Does the actuator works outside the car with the connector plugs in? If yes then there is something wrong with the lock or adjustments. If not check the wiring for breakage and the corresponding output on the control box for missing signal.
