  1. 1 is most likely the lower control arms which need new bearings at this age the humming needs more of a definition by you, where, what frequency 2 It starts in second for fuel economy and in first when cold to heat the cats up as fast as possible to get emissions under control Dont know anyone over there but there will be someone, look for german car specialists
  2. Having gone from an S with lag to a TT I now realize the S power curve did not match the transmission. When you get to 500, in sport, there is zero lag
  3. beginning to sound like fuel pumps beginning to fail to me, the car is the right age for that to happen
  4. Mine was traded 2 weeks after the first one went, only time in 130K miles I had a breakdown
  5. 1- how old is battery ? 2 - magnets on shifter can fall off but manual would work since its sequential 3 - any errors codes ?
  6. I was told by dealer that pumps should be replaced in pairs but most people don't due to cost
  7. Something is very wrong then On an S 14 and higher should be expected unless your towing
  8. Go do a manual check. filler her up, note the mileage and then on next fill do the math, only way to be sure
  9. Thanks but I am not familiar with the V6, the codes 0011, I would do an oil change and maybe flush it. 0441, I would check the gas cap seal first just to make sure
  10. How old is your battery ? 2227 1 Check EVAP canister purge valve ♦ Remove valve ♦ Check whether the valve closes fully Step 2 Replace EVAP canister purge valve → End 2 Check mass air flow sensors 1 and 2 ♦ Connect the 173 universal test box, 105-pole and the 173-1 adapter cable, DME 7.1.1 ♦ Switch on the ignition Measure signal voltage between DME control module connector: ♦ A, pin 29 and ground ♦ B, pin 109 and ground Voltage between 0.9 V and 1.1 V Step 3 Replace faulty mass air flow sensor → End 3 Check fuel pressure, volume supply of fuel pump and injection valve (mechanically) Continue troubleshooting in Engine Manual (Group 1) and Fuel Exhaust Engine Electrics Manual (Group 2) → End The last one is my bet, 04 at this age, one of the fuel pumps could be starting to go, mine went at 128K and others have gone as low as 50K Hope this helps
  11. If you see the leaks you could be to late, secondary damage from spilt coolant somewhat more dangerous than the failing pipes
  12. You need to get the actual error codes from the computer to determine what has failed, do you have access to a Durametric ? How old is the battery ?
  13. The PCM in 955 is very different from the PCM in 957, although they look very similar. The rest of your description is very typical of a battery going bad tho, I would change that before you do anything else
  14. Replace both batteries if you have 2 but leave them both disconnected at the same time for a while then connect them up and try it. Make sure you pay careful attention to the ground (earth) cables which may have some corrosion at the body, clean that all up first
  15. You sure its an 08 ? the pipes are different on the 08 although there is another small coolant is but nothing major. seeing nothing on the site
  16. The symptom you describe would most likely be described by Porsche as either non existent or a feature, either way thank your lucky stars you tranny is not an 04 because after mine was changed to an 05 it was much better but not fixed The are a few factors causing this, the e-gas adaptation which maps your driving habits, the transmission mapping which is bizarre at times I also have a very personal opinion that the S does not have the power to use the mapping provided in the transmission You adapt to it or you bail, there are part time fixes but nothing permanent sorry
  17. Neither do a good job streaming over BT. I use Mobridge and also had that when I had the 04. iPods work, great sound clunky interface, the BT works now only if you have the phone buttons on the PCM. Having said that once you get used to the interface the music sounds good thru the Fiber connection to the Bose. The BT sounds good to people I call with my iPhone.
