    The park brake shoes spring is hold by the hub housing, if i'm not mistaken.

    The "S" is approx. the same (NOT for TURBO), just a little more lack on room, make a drawing of the belt routing before replacing, it will make it easier to find out in case of doubt.

    The lock solenoid react in some cases only with the remote not with the key. Since your car suffers with a central locking problem, you have to check the relevant fault codes with a diagnostic tool. Meanwhile you can remove the lever trim by loosing both deep seated allen screws (behind the tabs) and disconnect the solenoid from the lever unit.

    LOL time to award the new CEO a higher bonus Loren. :lol:
  6. RFM
    You are correct, Paul. The screws hold the bracket/protection in place which prevented the infiltration of the rain flap, during driving, and block off the A/C air stream.

    Start checking the fuel lines and connectors on the left side of the engine, besides/downwards the coolant tank above the left fuel rail. You can easily follow the fuel lines till the front of the car. Success.
  8. RFM
    If it is a DIY depends the mechanical knowledge and the (special) tools available. It should not prevent you to ask for a second opinion about the issue.
  9. RFM
    Small detail to start with, you talk about the front LEFT but the pic. shows the front RIGHT. Best you can do is following the wiring or ask for a PIWIS Cayenne electric diagram print out, could be anything with 3 wire connector on the right side from chassis acceleration sensor till loading sensor (headlight height correction HID). Success.

    Please use the search button, this item is discussed here before. Wonder why the engine wont start on 5 cylinders Power loss is normal with one cylinder less. "Is there anyway to tell if a mass air flow sensor if fried? I am haveing problems fixing my 996 with code P0303 and P0300" "no oil Loren, just really crusty with orange red rust color as well as the ends of the plugs too" "Took the spark plugs out and found the tips covered in oil, looks pretty bad, CEL came back on and now only left with one code P0300" " the spark plug is completley covered in oil from the igniter going into the motor! and oil on o-rings and coils" All very confusing IMHO.
  11. RFM
    If you are located in the US, contact the board sponsor for a good price, use the "Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost" button on top of each page.
  12. RFM
    The tensioner is not adjustable and rarely fails.
  13. RFM
    Well, this is a problem less, hope you can find the cause.
  14. RFM
    A spark plug with the isolator covered in oil refers to leaking plug tubes (< MY03), a spark plug with only the central and ground electrodes covered in oil refers to engine/cylinder problem. I'm pretty sure your problem concerns only leaking spark plug tubes, i would start with that.
  15. RFM
    Loren, The pic. send by temporel looks not comprehensive enough for details (exact routing), but perhaps the wiring colors will match with the SERVOTRONIC steering rack connector instead of the RDK system?
  16. RFM
    I would not wait for an engine rattle and a check engine light, since the car already suffers with a oil pressure warning.
  17. RFM
    If the spark plug isolator and ignition coil are free of oil, you could have a more critical issue, let check the engine and the problematic cylinder in particular.
  18. RFM
    I would look first for corrosion on the amplifier connections, they are located in the rear roof spoiler and are rectangle gold colored (two pieces on ROW cars)
  19. RFM
    Let the car check on fault codes with a PIWIS diagnostic tool, this codes are essential for a diagnosis.
  20. RFM
    Best buy is a shop or similar manual to prevent you from possible mechanical problems (and money) IMHO.
  21. RFM
    Correction: if you mean with the "TIP" of the spark plug, the part which is in the combustion room, than you have a problem.
  22. RFM
    If the car is older than MY03, replace the spark plug tubes and O-rings.
  23. RFM
    The serial number belongs to a factory rebuild engine with two years warranty.
  24. RFM
    Do what 1999Porsche911 suggest, check the pressure relief valve spring first, i have seen once in a while a M96 with a broken spring, a second point to look at is the oil filter holder valve system, which you can find on the bottom of the filter holder, the symptoms are for both issues too low oil pressure. The pressure relief valve is easy to find and to remove on the rear of the engine.
  25. RFM
    Don't worry spadaco, the fault will come back after a while, gagama got it right. There are 2 or 3 yellow connectors on each seat to cut out and re solder the wiring.
