  1. Ive just looked at my flange and there is NO gap at all....In fact it looks like its never been off , and as its been dealer serviced it probably hasnt!!!!!
  2. Yep, it was the MAF....i tried re-booting by removing the earth but it made no difference, cleaned out the throttle body again did nothing, so then went for a drive to get i warm. I stopped and unplugged the connection and the engine died. It started fine, idled real smooth and pulled like it never has before...all the way to 7!! I called my local bosch parts place "Tytherleigh Vehicle Electrics" and was quoted £172 plus VAT (17.5% for the Americans) which i didn't think was too bad......Rang the Porsche Dealer and they wanted £339 plus, so guess where im going on Monday!!!! This forum has been very helpful in sorting out this problem so thanks guys

  4. Sly74, hi, i have exactly the same problem on my 98 C2.....It just start the other day after i had disconnected the battery to sort out my malfunctioning alarm......Its like hitting a switch, you get to 5000 and it still revs, sounds the same but doesn't actually pull like it used to...has disconnecting the alarm done something???
  5. Yes your right, i am in the uk.....whats "OPC" stand for? Your right about main dealer prices, my local specialist,"Marque 21 Racing" concentrates on older stuff, (when he did the clutch and flywheel on my 996 last year it was the first he had done and did a great job sorting the knackered rear bushes and joints) but doesn't have diagnostic gear. I went to "Cool it" in Martinstown,Dorchester to get the air con done....half hour to fit 2 matrix, a dryer and re-gas it, very experienced!!!
  6. Hi everyone, can anybody help with this one....The alarm decided to go off on my 996 C2 when it was UNLOCKED in the garage.1st time it went off and stopped after 30secs, did this 3-4 times then went off and kept going continuously, stopped it by disconnecting the battery(which made my ears bleed!!).....Reconnected battery,nothing,then charged it over night...it was OK for a couple of days then false alarmed again,doh... I then disconnected then alarm HORN (the one which beeps if the door is ajar) which made the screecher go off,fair enough.. Then i unplugged and removed the bracket holding the screecher and tilt sensor...The wiring connector for the tilt box was all green and corroded(good sign as something wrong), i left it off the car for a few days but the battery drained by 0.1 volt a day so i cleaned and refitted the bits.... NOW what happens is, when you lock the car it screeches twice with the indicators and once when its unlocked where before there was silence on locking/unlocking, the dash top light flashes fast for a bit(cant be arsed to count) and then settles to an on/off rhythm as normal. So ??? should it screech or not, and if i leave the car locked how long will it be before the battery is flat?? The local Porsche dealer said i cant just buy a new tilt sensor(if thats what it is) cuz they are no longer fitted next to the battery(because they get wet...funny that) and would have to be retro fitted in the inside(V expensive) HELP
