Just got mine back from repair... I tried everything that was suggested but nothing worked so I brought it to Porsche dealership and they could not tell me what it was... They said they would start by replacing the alarm module... but they were not sure it would fix the pb... Given the price of the repair I wanted another diagnostic so I went to an import shop who said it was the key... they ordered it, reprogrammed it and it works... cost me 350$ though (The new key is 150 + 110 reprogram + manpower) but they fixed the pb and repaired the gas lock that was stuck the other day... It is expensive for a key but compared to what Porsche was suggesting it is way less... Good luck with yours.

No luck for me... just tried but did not get any result... Both keys are flashing when I press the button but it does not do anything... When you talk about reprogramming the key, what does it do? the dealer told me there was no need to do that because it was emitting a signal... I am wondering if they really know and I don't want them to tear the car appart (and my wallet) to finally say, it was just the key that needed to be reprogrammed... Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the tips, I will try that tomorrow. Let's cross fingers!

Have you tried locking and unlocking the door using the metal key? That should reset the remote functions. Yes I tried... that is the only way to open... then if I wait too long before I put the key in the ignition, the alarm goes off (might be embarrassing!)... I need to do some test with both key, maybe change the battery or at least remove them and put them back... Thanks

Well I just took my 2002 C4S out of storage and similar issue. I went for service at the dealer and they checked that issue but were not able to fix it for sure. They tested both keys and they seem to be communicating. they told me keys don't need to be reprogrammed. They found the following error message 60 Central locking limit position - Lock not reach. They told me it could be the alarm module... but I doubt as the alarm seems to be working... Would anyone have an idea? I would like to know for sure because module is something like 450 + install... maybe a good DYI, has anyone done it? Thanks

Brake Pad Change Instructions
pf cayenne s replied to Loren's topic in DIY Articles - Carrera (996) - Maintenance
Hello, What kit would you recommend to replace pad and rotors on my 2002 C4S. It has 30000 miles but I used it on track about 7 times. I have an upcoming event (2 days at Gingerman track and after that I think it will be time...). The rotors and pads are not dead yet but I always prefer to have some thread left as when I am on the track I do not want to worry about worn brakes... Anyway I found different options on FVD or ebay but really I do not know what to get...and where to get the best deal... your help will be appreciated! I think the OEM brakes are fine for the use I have... Thanks -
Fan - always on?
pf cayenne s replied to pf cayenne s's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I feel stupid now... that is correct... I bought this car 7 months ago and maybe I should have read the manual. Thanks Loren! -
I have a 2002 C4S with 29000 miles. I am wondering if the front fans are always on... I do not have any temperature issue but it seems that the front fans are always on... maybe I am wrong... maybe it is normal... please forgive my ignorance... could anybody tells me what it is????

Work fine on my 2002 C4S... and also on my grand caravan, well, that, you don't care, do you? -
Well I installed the Short shift on Friday... the install is super easy and the result is great! I should not have waited that long! my advice to those who hesitate : just go for it, you will not be disapointed. Test on the track next week... Note : the B&M kit includes everything you need and the instructions are really good.

Ordered... install this week...

What is the fundamental difference with the other ones (other than the price) ? thanks

I would like to install a short shifter on my 2002 C4S... My problem is that I do not know which one to buy... to be honnest they all look similar but the price range go from 50$ (ebay) to 250 (B&M, agency power...) I read good things about all the models so I need your help! Which one did you install? what do you recommend? For information, I go on the track 3-5 times a year. Thanks

Add switch to 02 PSE carrera
pf cayenne s replied to mc_sahib32's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I do not have the switch on my 02 C4S which has the PSE from the factory... I checked behind the dash today and I was surprised to find a harness with no switch... does anybody have an idea what it could be? would that mean the switch install may be very easy??? is it something else??? I can live without the switch but would like to install it just for fun! Thanks!
