    Welcome to RennTech Daytime running lights are one of many a federally mandated safety items on these cars (e g: tire pressure monitoring system, seat belt alarms, air bag warnings, etc.). As such, any shop or individual that turns them off, or shows how to do it could be held legally and financially responsible for damages that could be proven were caused or related to the lights if the vehicle was involved in an accident.

    P0501 indicates the DME is seeing an out of range vehicle speed signal, this is usually either a wiring issue going to the wheel speed sensor, or and ABS control module issue. More diagnostics are going to be necessary to determine which one is the problem.
  3. JFP in PA
    It sounds like your diagnostic system may have sent some sort of command when it connected.
  4. JFP in PA
    It doesn't help that some of these cars are relatively low production numbers to begin with, meaning few bits get to the bone yard....................
  5. JFP in PA
    That sounds more like you have a communications issue, are you sure you fully seated all the cluster connectors?
  6. JFP in PA
    In some states, due to cat thefts, is has become a legal issue to buy or sell "used" cats..............

    Good luck on this one; they are showing up on flea bay in other colors for $150-250 each......................and board sponsor Sunset Porsche retails the entire assembly for $546.

    Eventually it will code, it takes several driving cycles for that to happen. If you are concerned, you can swap the post cat O2 sensors, if you get the same readings on the sensor that were working fine on the other side when they are moved to the suspect side, it has to be the cat.

    The article above lists the rpm ranges for base and S engines in the 987.

    Try posting your request in the required radio code forum and you will get a response................................ Lost radio codes

    It is an alarm armed indicator.

    E6 fuse is for Term.30 Telephone/Handy, Navigation Control Unit, ORVR (1999-2004). ORVR stands for onboard refueling vapor recovery system, which is part of the EVAP system, which has multiple electric valves in it:

    There isn't the kind of debris I would expect from a serious failure, but that rather large ferrous item bothers me, from your photos I cannot say what it might be, but I can say it should not be there................
  15. JFP in PA
    The sump cover is a relatively flat plate held in place by bolts around its parimeter.......................

    LN Engineering has covered (with photos) how to identify which bearing you have by examining the flange cover without removing it: How to identify which IMS bearing
  17. JFP in PA
    Rather than see the oil, I would like to see the sediment at the bottom; if it is metallic and ferrous (picked up by a magnet), you have a serious problem. Another place to look is to drain the engine oil and then pull the sump cover as it would collect such debris.

    Try this: Porsche TSB 6924 Seat belt Just be aware that Porsche considers TSB's part of their intellectual property, and will go after anyone publishing them online, which is why we no longer list them on RennTech 😉
  19. JFP in PA
    Yes, you will be able to time without this tool; the tool just makes the process very slick. Porsche engineering sometimes shows up more in their service tools......
  20. JFP in PA
    WHT 001 937 is the correct part and both the fill and drain are the same.
  21. JFP in PA
    If you are referring to the one with the knurled shaft, it is used to move the cam during reallocation. The upper right image are designed to hold the cams in place after the cover is removed, but can also be used during reallocation.
  22. JFP in PA
    We have a collection of various size rubber caps that are fuel resistant that we use for this and other temporary purposes such as capping brake lines to keep the system from draining:
  23. JFP in PA
    It is called a "siphon". We always capped the line to prevent this.
  24. JFP in PA
    Get the battery tested.
  25. JFP in PA
    Amazon sells them, as do almost any auto tool outlets, very common tool in just about any well-equipped shop: Unfortunately, it is very easy to trap air in Porsche systems, and getting it out is just about an everyday question here and on other Porsche technical forums.
