    MY 2008 have still the PCM 2.1 unit in Europe IMHO. MY 2009 have PCM 3.0 navigation which is hard disc drive, there is no longer a DVD drive underneath the passenger seat. The later up dates comes as a code with I-pass and will be programed with the PIWIS tester. I cant find a explanation for the 3.0 disc or the problem.

    Use the 996 brake damper/stickers on the back of the brake pads.

    Looks like the sensor is blocked between the black plastic duct and the radiator, that's way the outside temp. looks higher than normal. Most recommended procedure is to remove the bumper and the duct to inspect the sensor/wiring for locking ( stuck ) and damage.

    The top part is also the lock for the strut/hub combination. Lift the front of the car up with a jack and remove the wheel. If the hub, especially with the wheel still in place, is hanging the combination is too heavy and both holes in the strut and in the hub are not in line, the top part of the link will block. Lift a little the whole combination by grabbing the brake rotor with your hand and pull or push out the link. For this reason it is not possible ( evident ) to remove the link with the car standing on the floor.

    Looks nice, try something to do with the front hood/bumper/fenders gap :thumbup:

    Fly wheel ( not 100% sure ) complete clutch and gearbox are different. 997 is installed with a disc thickness compensation pressure plate and a Japanese Aisin gearbox.

    Porsche return less fuel system is not so return less as you think, the return is build in the pump unit, just after the filter. The filter have the same quantity of fuel to make clean as the earlier versions, indirect fuel systems have need on a return, the fuel pressure is controlled by the return system and not by the supply.

    There is no need for special tools, an ordinary socket wrench will work.

    PM member Porschelibrarian, maybe he can help you out.

    If the noise is really coming from the gearbox/engine area, the pressure plate diaphragm spring is probably the culprit.
  11. RFM
    It is a typical Porsche trick, once a part is a couple of years out of production ( and warranty ) the price go's up. If you need a new engine you pay the higher price and they recover a part what they ever have paid in warranties for this type of engine.
  12. RFM
    987 build date may 05 should have the new design already.
  13. RFM
    Just around the whole windscreen, from the painted body over the rubber gasket till the glass of the windscreen.
  14. RFM
    Are you sure that the noise sounds as an electrical whistle coming from the cluster? Some earlier 997 have a windshield which is not good sealed to the body with a high pitched noise ( wind is blowing through a small hole ) as result. Tape the front windshield complete around with masking tape and do a test drive before you remove the cluster.

    No special tools are needed. The kit contains: 1 tubing ( not needed for Cayenne - different design ) 1 cylinder/pressure body inclusive temp. sensor and 1 piston compression segment. Ask the V.W. dealer for an overview of the TB with the rebuild instructions, there is just one tricky point to look at, the exact segment possition on the piston. I can explain it but a image is a lot easier. Removing the compressor from the car is a piece of cake.
  16. RFM
    Becker is the PCM manufacturer.

    FM reception is not the strongest part in the Porsche sound systems. If the windshield is replaced take a look to the wire on the right bottom corner of the windshield for damage. If it looks OK, the antenna amplifier behind the A-pillar trim is a weak point. The radio unit on itself is not the culprit IMHO, he can only use the signals what he receives.
  18. RFM
    Valve block and compressor are two separate units, valve block failure is rather rare. You can buy a compressor repair set on a Volkswagen dealership for 1/4 price ( VW use the same compressor and sells a repair kit, Porsche don't )
  19. RFM
    I hope it for you but i'm still curious, just one detail, the bellows is including with a new AOS. Success.
  20. RFM
    It is not necessary to bleed the Cayenne cooling system, just fill up. I have never seen a special tool to fill a simple system as the Cayenne's have. Radiator replacement is not a 5 minutes job, it is not that simple.
  21. RFM
    I'm curious, 2 hours is very sharp. Are you sure that the indy will replace the AOS complete and not only the rubber bellows.
  22. RFM
    OPC cant ( may not ) reset the millage, there are specialized shops to do that if you really want.
  23. RFM
    No problems, most classic car owners do this, some of them let the suspension hang the whole year round, no load and good for the tyres, no flat spots.
  24. RFM
    I expected nothing else than a good result if all the terms are gratified, the labour is free as well. Well done, you are owner of a good car now.
  25. RFM
    MY 99 is equipped with PCM 1, the information and maps are so moderate that a good after market unit will give you more satisfaction IMHO.
