    Replacing is the way to go at long term IMHO.
  2. RFM
    A conventional bleeding procedure, or power bleed is sufficient if well implemented.
  3. RFM
    Sorry, i meant the servo pump instead of airco.
  4. RFM
    The problem is the very fragile plastic, inside kind of clip, which is not available separately. It's not a difficult job but you have to see it done, or pics could help you out, explanation via internet without examples is difficult, sorry for that. Airco connectors are the same, perhaps Loren can help you out with some pics or exploded views.
  5. RFM
    Porsche use a special tool to work on it, do you need the connector to reuse?
  6. RFM
    The expansion tank is located under the small plastic trim, just behind the window washers tank filler neck, right side of the car in the engine bay. Porsche coolant is red colored.
  7. RFM
    The MAF/brake light switch/E-gas throttle/PSM/DME and more, have a common relationship under certain circumstances, a dealer with a PIWIS should know that.
  8. RFM
    No, you need to run the connector open with two open key's.
  9. RFM
    Pretty normal phenomenon, especially in cold climates and short driving cycles. The same symptoms in the expansion cool water tank are more problematic.
  10. RFM
    If the carpet behind the seat is wet, there must be a leak, no doubt about that. Do a more intensive check again. The tilt sensor can only turned off with a PIWIS menu PAS-disable tilt sensor, without additional alarm problems like sirens going off etc. The tilt sensor is probably partial filled with rainwater, there is a conversion kit available with the sensor build under the seat. Remove and check also the electric connectors build in the A-pillars, and comming out the doors, for corrosion.

    We have got one 997-1 with red (S) calipers in the past with overheated front calipers while normal driving, after examination of the complete brake system, inclusive ABS unit, we decided in consultation with the factory, to replace both front calipers which have solved the problem.
  12. RFM
    Nice , txhokie4life well done. I hope you have enjoyed it.
  13. RFM
    Just put a sticker on the radio where the wire contact point hits the radio, so that the alarm can protect the unit against theft again.
  14. RFM
    What have you done with the wire connected on the side of the single DIN holder?
  15. RFM
    If you remove the plastic inner wheel well, you can see and feel the conector on the back side of the headlight, check for proper fitment and contact, wiggle a little with the connector ( with headlights on ) and look if the bulbs comes in.
  16. RFM
    Andres, Unfortunately i'm not confident with the Durametric tool, i don't know what the tool can do or not, i used only the factory standard PIWIS with a lot more options. Sorry about that, i hope you can pin point the problem.
  17. RFM
    You got absolute right about that jpflip, #23 is adjustment and #25 is lift.
  18. RFM
    Do you have no 10 mm key in the toolbox or somewhere to remove the service cover behind the seats? It's all you need after all. Without removing the cover and potentially the poly-V belt, to take a look and check, it remains a mystery IMHO.
  19. RFM
    As Loren mentioned, non of the 3 wires visible in the pic, are standard.
  20. RFM
    Great to hear the mechanism is OK. I would check the bank 1 values to compare with the bank 2 values, perhaps there is a voltage drop somewhere in the wiring or connectors, the solenoids are DME related.
  21. RFM
    Let check the system to be sure, and ask a price quote for the repair first. Success.
  22. RFM
    Looks like a blocked adjustment mechanism in the cylinder head rather than a faulty solenoid.
  23. RFM
    It takes some time to get the water cooled alternator out of the car, especially Turbo, the engine can stay in place but there are lots of parts to remove. I replaced two alternators with noise problems ( too much lateral play on the rotor ) never with power problems, as wvicary suggest.
  24. RFM
    The first service after delivery from new, with the service reminder reset at delivery, is still 30.000Km/20.000miles or 2 years. 3.000miles is not included in the ROW Europe service manual ( A market ), but it does no harm to change the oil/filter within a shorter period if you like. Wink: DFI engines prefer 5W-50 engine oil to reduce oil consumption. ;)
