  1. An air filter upgrade was recently done at our shop and front bumper removal was necessary.... Newest version of durametric also allows for maintenance light reset now for all the DIY oil change guys... if it makes you feel better i have to remove the gas tank on my sport bike to change the air filter ;) and dont even get me started on the spark plugs lol
  2. Hey everyone, After installing the AP Carbon Y-pipe in a 2010 Panamera Turbo, A short drive reveals fault code p006800 & p107100 P107100 NOX Sensor -G295- heating control signal Implausible signal Upper limit value exceeded (This Vehicle also has an aftermarket exhaust) P006800 MAP/MAF - Throttle Position Correlation Value below lower limit value At this time i am unable to adapt the throttle body with durametric. ( although the function is shown [preview release 6.2] ) Does the key on 1 min key off 10 s adaption work on the panamera? Unable to reach boost levels above .3 bar currently.... assuming this code forces a limp mode? (previous to this there was a minor vacuum leak also causing and additional maf code which has been since repaired) Please Advise and thanks in advance..... http://www.agency-power.com/catalog/agency-power-carbon-fiber-3inch-pipe-porsche-panamera-turbo-p-132144.html?osCsid=driob01hprs34fojmpd0hio6a1
  3. Just Tested the latest Durametric update of 6.2 (preview) release So far tested comm with ecm and instrument cluster and successfully completed activations, check and erase faults as well as finally being able to do a service reset.. Their 2nd gen cable is required / or the pro version i believe... Haven't checked anything else yet.... Cheers!
  4. I believe softronics has a cayenne tune.... might be a swap though.... we have their flash kit here now but ive yet to do one so i cant comment on their flash's yet.. http://www.softronic.us/buynow.php
  5. Like JFP said, coild packs dont make noise, at most an arching sound when they are bad and leak spark.... note that if your coils are cracked (which is common with these) you might start getting missfires in wet weather.... As for the noise during startup now im thinking it is the starter motor... probably making a zinging noise just after you let go of the key like its not disengaging... This is also very common amongst porsche and v.a.g. starter motors... Look into that..... Ive seen starters still functioning reliably for a long while making the noise... but as a technician i would still recommend replacing it... if that is the noise of course... best of luck
  6. Sounds like a loose spark plug..... seen this a few times on boxsters. I think torque is around 18 - 22 ft lbs. Of course the above mentioned is also very likely.. Would love to hear about your findings... Cheers
  7. if you are ordering a new tank get a new grommet for the pump as well. when they get old they can leak...
  8. I don't usually like giving advice on brake repairs but first I would recommend the help of someone qualified... If you have ceramic rotors make sure not to chip the rotors!!! I would also invest in a brake pad / piston spreader. I would also recommend replacing the circular adhesive anti-rattle pucks, some poeple also use a hitemp paste in key areas. (make sure to not contaminate the lining surface!) Also recommend 4 new pad sensors - if they aren't worn through they often break during removal anyways. Front Calipers - top center pin holds the pads in. ( 2 Bolts hold the caliper if you are changing rotors) Rear Calipers - Usually the pads are loaded from the inside out and the calipers need to be removed. When changing the rear rotors you may have to back off the handbrake shoes through an access hole in the front of the rotor ( this needs to be re adjusted once the rotors are replaced. Note: Once the job is complete make to pump up the brake pedal - otherwise if you go for a test drive right away you might run over the neighbours kid! Hope this helps you.
  9. Hey everyone! Just wanted to share experience with the IPD plenum upgrade Cayman S came in with a full fab speed exhaust that we had installed previously for the IPD upgrade. Fairly easy install and the vehicle definitely feels " more crisp and responsive " The vehicle came back with a lumpy idle and CEL on with various missfire codes. Adaption step was missed! Cough cough... Adaptation carried out with an instant improvement and smooth idle. Remember to always adapt a TB when replacing it as mentioned by Loren in a variety of posts. Adaption Key on 1 min Key off 10 sec Check and erase faults. Cheers and renntech rox!
  10. Thanks for the prompt reply.. This isn't the resonance flap in the center is it? Otherwise I am not familiar with this electric flap fault. I can't pull any info on it If I recall Correctly remember some newer models having a vacuum line to the air box. But I know this vehicle doesn't. Unless it's been eliminated. Time for a POSIS update me thinks.
  11. Hey Everyone, 2006 997 Cab Im looking for some diagnostic info on p1043 - Exhaust flap control final stage.. Complaints of a occasional stumble on accell are also noted. Many thanks.
  12. Hey I do wraps as a side business :) So here's some info! Should be similar to vw setup Hope this helps
  13. Worn parts are problem no 1. Also I see the ball ends cracking and failing all the time. I've seen them installed backwards. And timing issues of all sorts including motor driving past top closure. Often drive cable tubes stretch and then the cable can pop out then you have left n right sync issues. You might want to get another body to operate the top while you inspect the problems
  14. Interesting question. Can you balance sliding in the upper strut bearing and shimming out the arms? Once you choose your shims you slide the shaft back and forth to make sure you have freeplay? Curious to hear about your findings
  15. I believe the oem mounts are fluid filled. As for replacement there is only 4 bolts that hold the bracket/mount. Replacement would be considered moderately easy Hope that helps --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.433226,-79.703119
  16. Sounds like a timing issue with the drive system. I believe if the top drive trannys are to far advanced or retarded a certain part rotates too far and just pops the rods off because of the clearance issue. Checking the sync and limit positions is where I would look first --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.433226,-79.703119
  17. You'll need 4 hyme ends with lock nuts. The threaded tubes on a race prep cayman here are approximately 11" in length. Hope that helps
  18. I've rarely seen problems with the b&m shifters... More often than not I've seen the cables pop out of the housing behind the shifter under the center consol. If your in there to check I recommend securing them with zip ties regardless. I usually drill a tinyhole on each side of the cable through the base plate and then you can get a tie wrap around each cable and eliminate ever having that issue.
  19. Thanks everyone... Quick update. 2006 997 cab/tip Problem: vehicle doesn't start in am, dead battery. Alternator and multiple batteries previously replaced. We found regulated voltage at battery low during charging system check. Approx 12.8v With our diag and some input from the forum we condemned the main battery cable from the tranny to the front firewall. With our diag and cable replacement was about 8 hours labour. Vehicle regulated voltage well over 13v. Another Porsche back on the road. Cheers!
  20. Hey Everyone... I have a 2006 997 Cab / Tip I'm dealing with right now.. Battery going dead issues... new alt/battery.. Found I have major voltage drop from the alt to the batt... Some of my reading has lead me to beleive that there is a known issue with the 997 battery cables... Does anyone know more? Which cables/ Updated part numbers etc? Labour time? I've done some forum searching and scanned through the tsb's but havent found much. Thanks in advance for anyone's Help! Cheers! Derek.
  21. Make sure the door latch is working properly.... quick check is the dome light, if it doesnt always come on when you open the door thats a sure sign of a batch latch. This tricks the car into thinking the door is closed and lifts the window. My 2 cents.
