weight is pretty close to stock

Front - 22 lbs per wheel

Rear - 24 lbs per wheel

I do not notice a difference between the Turbo stock 19s and the HRE 20s. In fact, I was looking for a difference in feel beacuse of my past experience on my 06 997S. On my 06, I noticed a huge difference in feel in the stock 19s Carrera Classic Wheels and my upgraded Avus 20s.

Awesome! I'm glad you got it figured out. Please post pictures of your car.!! :D The 20's on a Turbo look soooo sweet.

Here are some pics

Ok, I selected the winter tire option and it learned with about 10 miles of driving. I guess the summer option was preprogrammed for the factory wheels.

I just had 20's put on my 06 Carrera. I sounds like possibly your installer didn't program for the new wheels correctly. My installer used a reader to tell the system there were new tires. The system only allows for 18 or 19 inch but it really doesn't matter that you have 20's. What's important is that the new tire pressures need to be inputted then the system has to be put into "learn" mode. When you first drive the car you should get a message saying "TPC inactive" and then below it should say "learning" I drove the car for about 20 miles then the system went back to normal and the tire pressure warning light went off.

Are you getting a 'learning" message?

I hope this helps.

Merry Christmas :D

Thanks for the quick reply. Let me clarify a bit. I actually did the install myself with new sensors and I did get the "learning" message before I did another reset (maybe I did not wait long enough). I guess the next question is (for anyone), is how do I manually put the system into "learn mode" so I can input the new wheel values, or is this something I can't do without going to the dealer.

I switched out my 19" Porsche turbo wheels for 20" HRE with new sensors on my 09 Turbo. I am getting a "TPC inactive" (tire pressure control) error message, even after puting about 50 mile on since the switch. The TPC is reading the psi of all four wheels correctly.

Is there any way to fix this message so it acurately reads the new wheels and shows no errors?

Is there a way to manually enter the parameters for the new wheels?

Is there a way to disable the TPC message?

On my i-pod I have different songs with different volumes.

I would say that this is normal.

Paul

The question is not the volume of different songs on an individual input ie ipod, aux, tuner. The question /comment /recommendation is there no adjustment for the individual inputs so when one is listening to the ipod and one selects tuner one is not blown away by the different volume levels of those different inputs.

Also, once agin I ask, is there a way to tap into the auto mute in the PCM 3.0 (like we could in the PCM 2.1). I would love my radio to mute when my radar detector goes off like it did in my previous 2006 911

Anyone have an answer to either question?

On my new 2009 Turbo, I have noticed that the Aux in volume on the PCM3 is much lower that the tuner volume or the ipod volume. This happens no matter what device I plug into the Aux. Is this standard (feature) or is it a problem that I am only having. Also, is there a way on the PCM3 to connect and auto mute via a cable with my built in Escort 9500ci radar dector.

Thanks for all the help. I am going to order it from PCNA

Anyone know how to find the exact build date?

Results for my error and the fix:

Manual Valve Open on Pump for top. Both flap motors worn. Drives cracked. Top out of calibration

Ran calibration but top wont open completely due to side flaps not accuating fast enough...Replaced both side flap motors, calibrated and cleared fault memory

Top operates properly at this time

I just brought mine in for the exact same error. I had to manually lower and lock the top. They have not let me know what the cause was but it should be ready for pickup tomorrow. I will post when I have an answer. I would remove the SmartTOP if you want to fix it under warranty. You will need to manually lower and raise and lock the top (directions in manual) and remove the SmartTOP.

Ive been trying to lift the top manually via the owners manual instructions and I can not get it to budge more than 6 inches up. I tried it with one person on each side as well as form behind the fronts seats as stated. It seems to be stuck on the hydraulic lifts. Any recommendations ?

Thanks, but that wasnt it. The lid was the first thing I checked. I guess the next question is... If it is trully a control error, the how can I manually get into the back to check the control unit with the top in the down position?

After charging the dead battery on my 2006 997 cab with the top fully down, I received a failure convertible top control error. I now can't put up the top or put the rear windows up. I checked all the fuses and they are all ok

Any sugestions?

Is there a bike carrier available for a 2006 997 CAB?

I'm looking for the part number and correct name for these 997S CAB Plastic Plugs located under the CAB clam. Porsche just sent me the wrong ones

Hmm... I am not finding those in the parts list.

You might check with Jeff Clarke at Sunset Imports.

Thanks Loren I'll give him a try

I'm looking for the part number and correct name for these 997S CAB Plastic Plugs located under the CAB clam. Porsche just sent me the wrong ones

Yes it is.

Thanks I'm half way there

It looks urgent !! Place the convertible hood in service possition, the DME = CARTRONIC is located behind the trim under the convertible/clam shell in the environment of the hydraulic pump, 2006 is probably screwed on. Hope it helps.

Is it the same location as the convertible hood motor?

Thanks... and Sorry, I have to Fedex it out today. Is it located behing the passanger rear seat?

Loren?????

I tried searching but could not find the answer even though I remember reading it. On a 2006 997 S Cab, how do you remove the DME and where is it located?

Yes, the engine purge fan. This fan only comes on when the engine (surrounding air) temp exceeds a set number. At that point it turns on and pulls cool air into the engine compartment. For most drivers this fan rarely comes on.

Thanks Thats what I thought. The dealer confirmed there is an issue with the fan and the DME. Originally the fan would stay on for 30 minutes or more after driving. Yesterday it 1165 CELd.

Ill take it in next week

Furthers tests will likely require a PIWIS or other sophisticated test gear that can read FRAs and RKAT.

I do not have P1165 on any of my lists - are you sure about that number?

Engine purge fan fault is P1675 - either way this is not likely related to your air leak problem.

It was 1675. Is this the cooling fan on the engine lid?
