Hi all,

is a 997 TT engine swap into 996 TT possible? I need to replace my 996TT X50 engine and thinking of putting a 997TT engine in my car. Does somebody has done this swap before? What modifications do I need to do?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks Loren...

I have recognized a couple days ago, that there something like guck in the engine oel inlet. After cleaning this it was present again after 100 miles of driving. Could it be that the head gasket needs to be replaced? The car is loosing coolant water, but I do not see were it goes. At night temperatures are dropping under freezing point. Could this be the issue? I made an owl change two weeks ago but found no water, plastic or metal chipping.

Any ideas? Its an 3,4L 2000 M96/04 engine.

Thanks

Thank you so much Loren, will try your instructions this weekend.

Does anybody has a plan of procedure for the alarm / door lock module? I mean a plan where you can see which conditions or state (signals from micro switches etc.) must be given from electricals components to lock / secure the doors. My bentley book is just showing the wiring diagrams.

I already changed the key fob battery. Yes, actuating the the door locks by OBD 2 software at the dealership was succesful. Both doors have locked and unlocked by the software. They have recomment me to change the "faulty" door locks, what then I did. But the problem is still there.

No, I did not. On which points or locations should I do the test?

I have recognised a days ago, that my car will not lock the doors with the key transmitter. When I lock the drivers door with the metal key, the car makes a double horn beep and the passenger door is still unlocked. Then I open the door, the alarm will turn on. I have replaced both door locks because I thought is a microswitch problem of the door lock, but the problem is still present. I have attahed the error codes in the attachment.

Btw, triggering the actuating elements in the door lock by the Porsche software at the dealer ship will lock the passenger door.

Does anybody has an idea what the problem could be?

Thanks

Hi,

I have currently the same issue as you had. How did you fix it?

Thanks

Wow the whole front tub?

Thanks Loren...

Hi guys,

I need to replace my body front section after an accident and I am wondering why PET does not show the price for part no. 996 501 911 01 GRV.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

I am planning to buy a 2008 Cayman with a light front end collision. Both airbag are deployed. Do I need to replace the dashboard because of the deployed passenger side airbag? If so, how expensive will be a new dashboard?

Thanks for your help.

No idea's?

Hi guys,

i ´m planning to replace my PreFL cluster to the FL model. What have i to do to get it work correcly? Just plug and play?

Thanks for your comments and help.

You are likely going to need to put a PST2 or PIWIS tester on the car run diagnosis on the instrument cluster.

If you are lucky it is a loose connector - if not a bad cluster.

Where could this lose connector be located? Somewhere on the engine?

Doesn't matter if it is running or not a bad ignition switch will often cause strange things to happen and even more strange things when it is wiggled.

Just checked my ignition switch. Nothing happed while i was wiggling the key. Any other ideas?

o.k. i will check that in a few hours at home.

And if you wiggle the ignition switch with the key in it? any affect?

Bad ignition switches can cause all kinds of strange electrical problems.

@ Loren:

For my understanding, all instruments and displays with the red arrow in my attached pictures are using ABS-signal (except the clock :-)) from the wheels? could it be, that those sensors are sending "signal not valid" signals or no signals to the ECU of the instrument cluster ? The tiptronic is shifting normaly while i am driving. So i guess, the ABS signals are o.k.

Bad ignition switches can cause all kinds of strange electrical problems.

You mean i should wiggle the key while the engine is runnig, right?

Yes, i already check them.

Hey guys,

I am wondering why my instrument cluster does not work anymore completly. It happens a few days ago, the rpm counter and the speedometer indicator are not moving anymore. After that, the odometer, clock and the digital speedometer was also not working anymore. Another problem is the tiptronic display. The red light toggles between "D" and sometimes "2" or "4" while am driving. I already disconnect and reconnect the three connectors behind the instrument cluster. But it does not help. Attached you will find a picture of my instrument cluster. I have marked the working instruments with a green arrow, the not working with a red arrow.

Do you guys have any ideas what to do? Does anyone has a wiring diagramm of the cluster? Please send to tacoma1@gmx.net

I hope my cluster is repairable.

Hi to all,

i want to renew my convertible top on my 2001 Boxster S because its worn out. I have already buy a new one. Now i have to replace it. Does any one got a manual that helps?

Thanks!

2 red wires )same place and one black wire - pretty hard to get wrong.

Check your chassis grounds and your ignition switch.

O.k. Thanks Loren

it is the rear-left wheel speed sensor output of the ABS.

VSS generates a pulsing voltage every time the vehicle speed is beyond 3 mph,

supplies vehicle speed information to the ECU,

ECU supplies the requisite signal to the cluster,,,,might want to reset the DME.

Have you touched the stereo wiring rescently? I've seen VSS/GAL signal shorting out too

So, is it enough to clean the sensor? Or should i replace it?
