    I have changed almost all bulbs to white led inside. Looks nice, more updated and not (as I feared) tacky.. However am experiencing odd behavior as well with the center light console becoming in-operational after the ligts turn themselves off if doors remain open too long..The only way I found to get the light back is to close car (like you were going home) and re-open.. Can it be so that the LEDs disrupts the function somehow?

    ok just did it.. One of the clips was already broken so need to fix that, thanx for the help!!

    Brave man.. Apart from not having the space to work in I would probably not dare... hm..my 04 CS has about 70 K km, still under warranty last year so hope it brakes before..if not I will just sell the car before the warranty runs out..Spoke to someone else here at the forum, no way of provoking the leak? If the parts crumble when you touch them perhaps a pinch at the right place will trigger this and I can get it replaced.. Not trying to scam here just force nature a bit -)

    Hi all, hope everyone is doing great! On my 04 CS I found that the cover in the back for the lock mount is acting up and the small lid that is supposed to flap is falling off one hinge. The rear hatch still closes etc but I want to fix it.. How do I remove the whole cover in metal that covers the lock area??? See item 6 in the attached PDF... (got this from a post here but could not find page 98 that it refers to on the next page) BR /Bertil cayennerearluggageareaLinings7 2.pdf

    Hi all, I have been searching high and low for this and as I just moved from Italy to Germany roads are not where my PCM say they are (guess Germans have built more then the Italians lately :-)) I need to get the update done... I have a 2004 CS with a PCM 2.0 (CD based) system.. Firmware version 2.0.. There are maps for this system that I have but I need to get the firmware up to 3.0 and here is my problem,.. My Porsche Center will not help me out unless I buy the map set in total... Does anyone have the "PCM 2.0 Multimedia Update CD Cayenne" that will get my 2.0 firmware to 3.0 that I can buy or lend?????? Hoping to get some help.......

    uhmm d-mn.. I'm pretty sure it is the fuel-pump as it is the exact same noise as when the pump primes.. I'll check it out with Porsche..

    Alright cheers! I never heard it on the C2 and you know how it is, you have this sound and then you hear it all of the time and it gets on your nerves :-) Again thanx for clearing this out! Have a nice weekend all. It's normal to hear electronic fuel pump sound. Beside, having a Porsche I do own Merc. and BMW and they all sound the same and noticeable.

    Hi all, new owner of a Cayenne S model year 2004. Had a C2 01 before but "had" to switch to a car with more room..no regrets though! I have a slight issue with the fuel pump sounding a bit too much.. When I exit the car with engine on I can clearly hear the "humming" of it through the engine sound. Both me and my wife thought the sound was a moped or something in the distance hehe..It sounds like a pump should and not like it is damaged or so I guess..t I suspect it is the fuel pump since the exact same sound is heard for a couple of secs when I first open the drivers door in the morning. As I understand it the pump pre-loads the pressure to get the motor started more easily.. Anyone else but me that has this problem (if it is a problem) or am I just being too sensitive? Just had the car for 1 week so perhaps this is normal. Cheers /bertil

    Yepps, I bought one..but as mentioned too late.. Now that the "wave" is a fact what can be done to fix it? Thanx /b
  11. globalfun
    I was, unfortunately, not that quick in buying a sunshade..As a result I now have a small wave on the dash..It comes and goes depending on temp..**** it :) What should I do? Is there any way to fix this without removing the dash? Any advice is highly appreciated. BR /b

    Thanx Loren, I was imagining that more things would have changed from the first 3.4 that rolled out of factory to the last one of the 3.4 in 2001..Well well thanx!

    Hi all, does anyone know what changes that Porsche made on the 996 3.4 during it's production years? I suspect they must have done some after finding things to do better during the early days of production but would really like to get a feel for what. I have checked the TSBs and some can be found in there.. I am particularly interested in the history of 996 3.4 C2. Any ideas? Cheers /b

    Hi all, dunno if this site has or does not have permission to host these manuals but I figured I share it. I am in no way connected to the site btw. http://www.cannell.co.uk/Manuals.htm Cheers

    Sorry don't seem to find it.. Search google for PCM1 and ipod or similar. /b

    The guys name is Rogier van Baar [rogier.nl@tiscali.nl] I just have a small issue now with ground loop wining sound when charging but I'll sort it out. /b

    I got this to work using a small unit that creates an Aux in for the PCM 1 replacing the CD changer. Mess me if you are interested. I just installed it myself :-) Unfortunately neither Becker nor Seimens provides such a piece for the PCM head unit. I have found a site (http://www.mictronics/?page=becker) that has a DIY connector piece that involves ATmega8 circuit boards, and the like. I, however, am quite ignorant on the subject. If anyone knows anything about circuit boards, could you take a look at this and see how difficult it might be, and the steps involved? The entire problem with connecting a PCM stereo is the Sony Unilink architechture. It is very uncooperative by design.

    Hi people, first post for me. Hi to all. Hope this ends up in the correct forum. I just installed an iPOD replacing the CD changer in a 2001 996 with PCM1. Thing is I searched for a solution a'la ice-link from Dension but no support to be found. So I installed the FM modulator.. That basically is not that great. So the search continued. It turns out that the Alfa has a similar set-up with the Sony CD over some kind of unilink etc. One guy in an Alfa forum has made a small dongle that connects to the CD changer cable and to the line-in RCAs. Just confirmed that it works :-) You cannot control the Ipod but for me that's alright since I have it in the dension cradle and can access it directly. If you need to control it I am sure something could be done. Let me know if there's any interest in this and I'll check with the guy if he wants to make some more modified Alfa units. I paid around 65 Euro shipping included. Cheers /b
