has anybody here retrofit installed a paddle shift steering wheel? it seems like a plug and play but there are different opinions on wheter a connection to the piwis to reset something is needed or not. i am converting to paddle shifters and i am a diy guy but dont want to mess it up if it need electronic intervention to install...maybe our technically knowledgeable brothers can give their opinion.

thanks flying v. your suggestion is well taken.

any advice on this on what procedure worked? turning clockwise, counterclockwise? broken nozzles?

i am wondering if anybody has really gotten in touch with PORSCHE and asked about DIY oil change affecting warranty claims. it seems that a lot of delaers actually overfill oil when a simple change oil is done. I am sure any knowledgable owner with some DIY experience can do the job better as there are no time constraints to doing the job right. For a simple oil change can Porsche void warranty specially if the service was properly documented. I intend to video the whole process so that PORSCHE cannot deny right service.

for info the low beams become hi beam via moving cover on the bulb. the halogen bulb for supposedly the high beam is actually there to fillin the vacancy left by low beam going to high beam

good day. has anybody succeeded in removing the washer nozzles? Serrotab what eventually worked for you? did you get your painted nozzle tips? pics please. In removing has anybody confirmed loren's suggestion of rotating 1/4 turn??

would anyone have detailed instruction for an oil change for 09 997 . beside draining the oil pan, do I also have to drain the oil tank if there is one?Thank You.

:welcome:

Pretty straight forward - like most of the late model Porsches.

Oil drain on the bottom of the sump - us a new sealing washer (the same one they have used for 15 or 20 years) 900.123.106.30 -- US MSRP $0.81 each

Oil filter canister on the top of the engine. New filter and o-ring. oil filter 948.107.222.00 -- US MSRP $16.13, O-ring 948.107.322.00 -- US MSRP $6.32

Same oil filter, o-ring and and pan sealing ring are used on the Panamera.

hi loren, i am new to our forum group and i just bought a 2010 carrera s in carrara white, pdk. you have details on the torque requirements for the oil filter cover and the drain plug? we dont want to strip any threads and make a big mess.
