  1. As far as i know a 987 does not use the rear body control module, their roof system is electro-mechanically using two relais, one up and one down. Anyway, on MY2005 had the factory the rear body control module incorrectly programmed as convertible (997) where several error codes appeared as "communication error" since there is no connection between the module and roof system as opposed to a 997 which is hydraulic-mechanically. You need to change the indication "convertible present" in the module to "convertible not present" to start with. Only if the module is correctly programmed and there are no longer error codes present, can search and measuring work begin.

  2. I do not understand why they keeps coming back to a VIN number, IMS is after all engine related which have an indification itself, the engine number notably. Some cars (VIN numbers) have a second or even third engine already mounted with obviously different engine numbers, it is obvious that it is difficult or impossible to find out through the VIN. Take it from me that they know well in Stuttgart which bearing is mounted in which engine (engine number). "Deutsche grundlichkeit" you know, it is not because they do not communicate that they do not know how it is structured, i've been there long enough to know them.

  3. The Tiptronic themselves are basicaly the same but the ratios, gears and differential, are different by type of vehicle and model year, it is advisable to keep the same year and type of Tiptronic, otherwise it would be an experiment regarding accelerations/top speed/shift points/etc. The difference between Tiptronic and Tiptronic-S is the ECU and the buttons, not the Tiptronic itself.

  4. You can do it of course, but keep in mind that the converter should slide over differend splines. It is important to respect the distance of the converter (height) relative to the bellhousing, during assembly, otherwise it is a certainty that the splines and Tiptronic oilpump get damaged. Also replace the oil seal over the splines/in front of the oil pump, a certain degree of skill and experience is required given the high costs if things go wrong.
