Slow turnover on 997CS 2005
Jdw997 replied to csman's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
Hi guys, Living in Dubai, got a lots of problems with the starter, when engine hot. Unable to start so first check battery and 1 cell faulty. Installed new battery but problem reoccured after about 1 month. So suspected starter problem. the change procedure is the same as on a 996. found the insulation of the wire conected to the starter melted. so pulled out the starter and just tested it on a battery but starter with no load on still not spinning freely, also wire(500amps cap) got hot in les than 10 sec. So I exchange the starter and also the cable from the starter to the connection on the gearbox. quite easy job. A friend with the dealership told me that the link of the starter cable to the alternator cable is to weak on the 997 so a new, stronger version is now available, which I can confirm. 997S starts now with no problem (already 37deg c outside temp). ah costs of it all, exhange starter 350 euros + cable 70 euros. -
Hi, Can you help me out with a 997S from 2006? I am looking for the DME setpoints for this car, chass no WPOAB29906S741113, as I bought it second hand with a sport exhaust on it, and I like to compare the values measured now with the factory setpoints. More over the car hesitates a bit between 2000 to 3000 so I am thinking of putting the standard exhaust back on (luckily the previous owner gave them to me.) Or can you tell me were I could find a workshop manual for the 997? regards
