  1. First of all, thanks for your quick response. I believe they did not performed the PIWIS calibration, i think what they have done in February was took out the leveling sensor and replace the new one. May i ask is the PIWIS calibration a must when replacing the new leveling sensors and what is PIWIS. After the replcement in February the reading of the fuel gauge on the instrument panel was corrected and the fuel needle was working fine each time when the fuel was top up. The malfuction of the needle suddenly dropped down with warning light flashing happened last week, does it related to the PIWIS? I have top up the fuel in full today and i will drive again tomorrow to observe the needle movement to see for the sudden drop occur or not. Now the needle is pointing to the top and no sudden drop for the 4km driving since the fuel added this aftrnoon. Thanks again Kelvin
  2. The fuel gauge of my 98 C2 was malfuctioned, i had the oil sensor(Sensor in the fuel tank) problem before and replaced earlier in February and since than it was ok until last week the gauge was failure when i was driving 30mins later. At first the fuel gauge needle was suddenly dropped to bottom together with the warning light flashing. I was then stopped the car and restarted the engine, the needle was moved right up to the top and station for few seconds than dropped with warning light flashing again and this condition was still the same on return home. On next day i took the car to my local garage, the mechanic was detail looked at the sensor with some measurment carried out and said to me the senor was ok, the possibility casuing the failure this time is the fuel gauge on the instrument panel(Speedometer Panel). He also told me that the whole instrument panel need to be replaced and cannot just replace the fuel gauge individually. I had checked the price for a complete new panel with my local Porsche dealer it cost HK$24,000 which is US$3000. Now the needle was pointed to the top (no warning light flashing) looks like there are full tank of fuel and needle never get down even there is only 1/4 fuel inside the tank. I have a few questions below and hope all experts here can direct me with some advices. 1. It is true that i have to replace the whole panel not just the fuel gauge only. 2. I found there are few second hand instrument panels on ebay but they are all Mile version not KM on the speeometer. Is the mile/km surface indicator can be easy dismentled and changed. 3. By observing the failure is there any other possibilty causing the malfuction. Very much appreciated and looking foward to have your valuable advices soon. Kelvin
  3. Please help I lost my radio code. 99 C2 CRD 210 Model no. R1097 Ser no. V5011291 Thanks
  4. My 98 Tiptronic 996 C2 has a reverse problem recently when shifting from Drive mode into Reverse mode, the idle seems not stable and the rev has dropped down to 4000-2000 which could not hold on to the engine and leaded failure stop eventually. The problem seems obvious when the engine has warmed up or after a long distance travel. Due to this problem, i have been to the local garage and have the idling valve, sensor checked and cleaned but still cannot solve the problem. I would like to know has anyone here encoutered the similar problem and i will be much appreciated for your kindly advise and the possibility of the problem root cause.
