    I'm getting a air-conditioning fault code 35 with my PIWIS 3. I know I ha e a 996 Turbo but I think this should be same on NA or Turbo cars
  2. Porschelibrarian
    Have you thought of using these exotic and expensive options?

    Im.looking to improve the handling a bit on my DAILY DRIVER 996TT but I don't not want to lower it. I like to do occasional DE with PCA and a few spirited drives ( Rennsport Dragon Run etc..) a year. Any suggestions to improve suspension without lowering the car?
  4. Porschelibrarian
    When you recommend the GT2 exhaust are you saying just the GT2 muffler and reuse the 996TT cats?
  5. Porschelibrarian
    Where did you apply the Finish Line Max Suspension Spray?
  6. Porschelibrarian
    I should have posted this earlier but the simplest thing to try first was to swap out the A/C control module and its worked fine since. I borrowed one from a local shop and since that worked I bought what looked like a clean ( returnable ) unit on Ebay for $200 and its worked fine since.

    Depends if you have "most" sound system. Do you curreny have Porshe GPS? BOSE System?

    On a 2012 987.2 I ran my PIWIS 3 and got the attached screen Anyone know the steering calibration code? Thank you
  9. Porschelibrarian
    Battery, alternator, and cables were tested and fine. I'm checking if one of the local Porsche shops I assist have an extra working A/C control module to swap and check
  10. Porschelibrarian
    Excuse me if this is elsewhere butbI didn't see it. I am getting a dead battery once a week and the battery, alternator and cables check out ok. I noticed that when I turn the headlights on the a/c will turn on compressor and fan to max and if I turn the fan down it will again climb right back up on its own. Any help guys?

    I have a convertible and when I had similar wing problem ( one side not going up) putting the top down and up didn't help orncleae code. PST2 or PIWIS 2 and 3 would clear code. I decided to remove wingandnhydrilic system and send to Cabriolet Hydrolics in Sarasota FL and 1 week and $740 later I got the entire system back looking brand new. Once installed it now works great and has 3 year warranty. Highly recommend Cabriolet Hydrolics for top or wing hydrilic system repair.

    New shifter bushings installed. I don't think these will ever break
  13. Porschelibrarian
    I was looking for a little extra for this year's Rennsport Dragon Rally. I think the extra power will make-up jn the straights what I lose in the curves to all the guys with all the electronic assists and blind mountain curve driving experience
  14. Porschelibrarian
    Will a PIWIS or PST2 reset or remap back if needed or desired?
  15. Porschelibrarian
    No you cannot. Damm. I wanted to watch No Man's Land in the car
  16. Porschelibrarian
    Does anyone know if one can play videos on the PCCM+?
  17. Porschelibrarian
    Just an update. 996/986/996TT gear shift bracket is now Porsche suggested retail $482.00 I had valet crush the front plastic bushing and Porsche still doesn't sell just a bushing and neither does Evo anymore it seems. But I found a reasonable solution as shown in other photo. Phenix makes aluminum replacement bushings for $70/pair. Easy installation and works great. I bet never a crushed bushing again.
  18. Porschelibrarian
    Has anyone just flashed their 996TT without other upgrades? What did you feel or actual results and do you think it hurt reliability?
  19. Porschelibrarian
    I sent my rear spoilen hydrolic system ( both rams, hydrolic pump and lines) to Cabriolet Hydrolics 10 days ago and today I received the parts back. I'll install tomorrow and edit this and post results. I installed the rebuilt set last week. They charged the shop $740 total to rebuild. Works great and all original factory parts and look. Hey I figure I can have them rebuilt 3 times for cost of the electric rams and this way it looks as it did out the factory
  20. Porschelibrarian
    Thank you but I already did that 3 days ago when I received new tire from Tirerack. Still uneven fit. Think I need to find shop with vacuum pump that fits tire valve
  21. Porschelibrarian
    I had to use the inflatable spare tire last weekend and now got the replacement tire installed. The problem/question I've removed as much of the air in the spare and replaced the belts around it to shrink it a bit further but the spare still won't fit as it did horizontally on the floor of the "frunk"

    2nd Thursday every month HUGE Porsche meetup.
  23. Porschelibrarian
    I bought a LCD replacment screen from Vertex auto and installed it myself.using the online instructions and watching a similar video. It took less than 20 minutes and while the images are a little different now it works better ( when I had directed air-to-air blow down or at passengers I would get small to windshield and it would fog up. Not anymore. ) I've attached before and after photos
  24. Porschelibrarian
    I have the Bose Nav double din system. Would it be mostly a remove old unit and install new or aprox what will it entail to install PCCM+?
  25. Porschelibrarian
    Keep the car. It looks like the 996 and 996 Turbo values have reached bottom last year and are appreciating at a nice pace. There are a few examples I found this past weekend from $60,000 to $78,000 and one admittedly redicilous example asking $99,000 but thats HUGE compared to 2 years ago when a clean carfax 6 speed could be picked up occasionally for $35,000 to $45,000
