    I have a 2011 c4s with about 16000 miles. Last week I got the "transmission emergency run" error and took it in to the dealer. The dealer game me a nearlly identical (except for interior and sports exhaust) car for a loaner. This loaner car is much more responsive and quicker than my car. The dealer has no explanation. What could be the cause of this difference? The accelerator on this car is a lot easier to press , as though the spring tension is lighter, than my car Any ideas? Thanks

    I was trying to remove the airbox and can't get the mass air flow sensor plug off. Here's a picture of the plug

    Just had the oil changed on my 1999 carrera 4 and found rubber band like pieces in the oil filter. The pieces are of uniform width, approximately semicircular in cross section and even rubber band brown in color , and soft in consistency. I have had the IMS bearing upgrade, . There are about 56k miles on the car, about 12000 since the upgrade. Any ideas? thanks

    Hi Loren , thanks for the info. I got that (the "bl") from the sticker . I have a list of option codes from a sheet that the dealer gave me, but I don't see much on there that relates to leather other than 981 and 982. There are a few codes that aren't on your list, (426,429,434,912) Thanks again Mike

    Hello The option codes were BL for black optional leather interior and 982 for supple leather front and rear. thanks

    Does anyone know what the "black opt leather interior" option included in 1999?

    Is this horn still available? Or are there alternatives? One of my horns is out and if I'm going to go to the trouble of pulling the bumper, I'd like something better, if possible. Thanks

    I just got this 996 carrera 4 a few weeks ago and noticed that the display show about 3 segments low. Didn't have the owner;s manual with me so I assumed (incorrectly) that that meant about 1.5 quarts low, so I added a quart. Now it shows over full and the dipstick level (I forgot it had a dipstick) shows just above the "bead". should I drain some out?

    Thanks, but the problem is that my car doesn't have that option on the menu. For some reason, they have disabled it. I don't know what the real reason is, other than it doesn't seem to be enabled on US cars. Unless anyone knows differently

    I have a 2010 panamera turbo. According to the manual, it's possible to set the assignment of the MFS button (on the left side of the steering wheel, has a "diamond" on it, see pages 115-116, and 151 ) On my car, the menu specified by the manual is not there. The dealer says that's only for the European cars. Anyone have any experience with this?
  12. mikeh10
    Ok thanks. My real question is, does it have overboost. I notice that the 640 option is much more expensive in the Turbo than in the other models.
  13. mikeh10
    I just bought a 2010 Panamera Turbo. The sticker says it has Sports Chrono Plus, rather than Sports Chrono Turbo. Were these both available for the Turbo model? If so , is it possible to upgrade to the Turbo version? thanks
  14. mikeh10
    No codes. There weren't even any when the car was programmed incorrectly.

    I have a 2009 Cayenne Turbo S that I'm experiencing erratic performance with, that is, sometimes the acceleration is not what it should be. When it's doing that, I also get the impression that the engine is lugging when running at relatively low speeds (50-60 mph) in 6th gear. If I put it in "Sport" mode it seems to be behaving normally. When I first got the car, the dealer discovered that it had been programmed ("flashed") as a Turbo instead of a Turbo S. That was thought to be the culprit, but the problem still seems to occur. Anybody have any experience with this? thanks in advance

    That's what I thought, so I don't have an answer as to why I can't get the 1 bar max boost and can't get it into overboost at all. thanks Probably obvious, but wanted to make sure you knew to get the chrono to get overboost, you have to quickly push the accelerator all the way to the floor and you will see a small upward arrow to the right of the boost gauge. That is how you can tell the the overboost is enabled (for 10 seconds). Maybe already knew that, just making sure. DC You're supposed to get the arrow in overboost. When you are in "sport" and floor the accelerator, as mentioned earlier in the thread, it's supposed to go into overboost for 10 seconds. Arrow ????? What arrow ? Every time you enable "sport" you get an arrow on the boost level indicator??? Please explain because I ve never seen that arrow. My boost level indicator has a scale up to 1.2 bar. (0 0.6 1.2). Usually boost is in between 0.6 and 1.2. Where is that arrow????? Thanks

    I get about 25 mpg on the highway (9l/100km) so your consumption sounds reasonable for "in town" sporty driving

    I have a 997 turbo and my boost gauge indicates psi marked 0 9 18. The dealer says it is really bar, although. there is no decimal point in the 18. What should it show? I suspect I'm not getting full boost, but they're saying it's ok, based on the gauge indicating bar, rather than psi. thanks
  22. mikeh10
    Just for your info, Antonio, I have the 2007 turbo with 24000 miles and don't have that problem. I would pressure them to fix it. Good Luck
  23. mikeh10
    I read on one of the other threads that the 997-2 has a heavier gauge alternator wire that improves cranking. You might want to look into that. Good luck

    Thanks, guys! I'm in "observation mode" right now but wondering if there is anything I need to do. I've had my 08 Targa 4S for about a month and it does seem to crank slowly , also. It has a brand new battery, so guess it's normal.
  25. mikeh10
    It's a 2008 Targa 4S
