    Was the car parked on a hill, without the handbrake fully pulled first, before the P was engaged? The weight of the ( moving slightly ) car can give too much mechanical pressure on the lock system inside the Tiptronic, if the car is not hold by the handbrake first.

    Cayenne S and Turbo have the same rear disc measure = 330 mm diameter.
  3. RFM
    I would remove the rear bumper ( not that difficult ) instead of making a hole in it, beside of that, what's removed can not been damaged during engine replacement.

    1/ Do you have the PCM3 with telephone option? 2/ Do you receive a message "enter sim-card"? If the answer is 1/ yes 2/ no a visit to the dealer's PIWIS is recommended.

    Take note that the values suggested by whall concerns all M 96 engines, in other words all water cooled flat 6 engines till MY 08, MA 101 and MA 102 flat 6 DFI engines have a complete new design, inclusive oil circuit, pump, oil pressure and volume, controlled by the DME, which is called " electronic demand controlled oil pump". Depending the input values for engine speed,load, oil temperature and the expected change in engine speed the control valve possition is defined using a map in the DME. To make it a little more clear, for example: driving with the engine warm at 3.000 RPM in city traffic, the pressure needle reach 4 bar, you leave the city road and takes the ( flat ) high way, with the same RPM, the load will be less after a certain time, the needle drops till 2 bar. In similar circumstances the engine got no need on high oil pressure or volume, they have done this to safe fuel ( less power loss ) So don't panic, 997 gen.2 owners, if you ever take notice of this phenomenon. In case of doubt, contact your dealer. Hope it helps.

    Thank you all for the confidence, i hope to help the staff, and you all, out of mechanical and electronic trouble as much as possible, so fire your questions, and Happy New Year to you all. RFM

    As far as i know was this a part of an option called "Porsche Traction Management Plus" available since October 2003 ( MY 04 ). I can be wrong because nobody got this option over here, limited market and no real off road costumers.

    Phillip, There are different possibilities: 1/ buy a cigarette lighter adaptor, two pieces of electric wire ( 1.5-2.00mm diameter and 1m long ) solder the wires, one on the + and one on the - of the adaptor, two crocodile clips ( smaller than the classic jumper cable ones, but big enough to grab the battery + and - ) and solder them on the opposite side of the wires, take a spare battery in place in front of the passenger seat, install the self made tool, close and open the doors with the REMOTE, pull the trunk handle. 2/ use a battery maintainer as Loren suggest and do the same with the REMOTE as mentioned above. 3/ remove the trim with the handles and disconnect the electric lock motor, pull the handle. Hope its helps.

    Is the check engine warning on? Are there fault codes in the memory? Please do a check first and report back, there are different causes, with and without fault codes stored.

    I think he means the temp.sensor ( eng.comp. ventilation ) Loren.

    Leaking washer water ( or after using the washer/wipers ) can give this kind of smell, depends on the chemical composition of the additive, use only approved fluid for cars with airco.

    PIWIS updates are on line via Porsche, there is a new diagnostic tool in the pipe line which replaces the actual PIWIS in 2009.
  13. RFM
    A specific diagnostic tool is needed to reset the service reminder ( PIWIS or similar )
  14. RFM
    Changing the starter motor takes approx. 1.30 hour.
  15. RFM
    No engine removing is not necessary, just take off the intake manifold. Perhaps it is a opportunity to replace the water tubes in this area by light alloy ones if you have still the stock fragile plastic ones.
  16. RFM
    Looks like some trouble with the torque converter, oil pump bearing or the pump itself. These parts can be repaired separately in a specialised automatic transmission work shop, let it check ASAP without driving the car ( flat bed truck needed )
  17. RFM
    The starter motor is located under the intake manifold, on the rear side, between both cylinder banks ( in the V ).

    Good chance that the relay is fried.

    You can pull the panel out, after removing two small allen bolds in the deepest part of the central armrest.

    Phillip, Use a spare battery and jumper cables, you can easily blowing up control boxes with boosters.

    If the car is a ROW Belgium type, look in the relay holder, under the dash above the fuse holder, check the relays for proper fitting or malfunctioning. You can "feel" the relay clicking if you hold your hand on it while the indicator is activated. A lot of Belgian cars have also a tracing system ( cj 2 ) or a anti carjack system ( cj 1 ) installed ( mandatory on omnium theft insurance ) which are also a source of problems after the years and they are connected to the indicators as well.

    Maybe your are right SPIRO, anyway, it looks difficult to install the showed pads into the announced cars.
  23. RFM
    Since the ticking occurs only with warm engine, the character in front of the W ( 0W or 15W ) means only the viscosity in cold condition, i would try 5W - 50 instead of 15W - 50 for quicker lubrication on cold start up.
  24. RFM
    If you use the key carefully and together with the proper torque specifications ( not daily and with pneumatic tools ) no problem may occur. Misuse is mostly the cause of the failure.

    True wvicary!
