Yes check charge rate and for poor earth! sounds like low voltage

From the vin the car is a 1996 model year aug from 95 to july 96 no S on the engine cover! tiptronic s indicates it has steering whee shift buttons.

The early heat exchangers were handed left and right and had the outlet pipe at the rear round pipe oval 2 bolt flange. The later 74 on ones were not handed the outlet is at the left hand front oval ish pipe with 3 bolt flange, as for leaks if the heat exchanger case looks ok they should be ok they rust from the outside so if they look rough they are! Regards Berny. By the way the part no starts 930.

Hi I think there has been a recall on some 997 fuel pumps! check with Porsche!

Hi there is no fuel cutoff switch, but there is a rocker type switch to select the left or right door mirror adjustment also switches near the instruments for rear wiper and rear wiper. Regards Berny.

If the battery was disconnected then there might be an ABS light for the first few miles after reconnecting - not uncommon.

I would do a short test drive (5 miles or so) and then clear the codes and re-test.

If you started the engine with the car on stands the wheels or hubs would most likely have turned at diffent speeds! this would trigger the ABS light. As Loren has said do a test drive should clear quite quickley

You can often get gear box chatter on tickover push the clutch down and see if the noise changes. Regards Berny.

Hi If you drill a small hole in the damper and then screw in a self taping screw you can use the head of the screw to pry the damper out. hope this helps. Berny

I have a vibration damper stuck inside the piston hole. Any idea how to get it loose? It's the larger upper one.

DME is in the fuse box under the hood the new one has a 993 part no I think the older ones had a 944 or 928 no Regards Berny.

Long time fan, first time poster....

I have an 89 964, totally stock and she won't start. She turns over and sometimes it will run a for about a second, then she dies again and won't start for about 5-7 minutes. Recently, it's gotten worse and I haven't been able to start her for two days. I do hear the fuel pump and if I wait, I still get a sputter. From what I read, there may be a few possibilities:

1. DME Relay

2. Fuel Pump

3. Worn Rotor Contacts

Anyone have a similar experience? I also understand that the DME part number has changed, but I'm not sure where it goes - in the fuse box under the front compartment or under the driver's seat??? Thanks in advance...

Hi all

I am an ex main dealer Porsche tech (don't hang me for that), I mainly worked on 997, 996, Cayenne, Boxster, not much older stuff. I have been looking at a C4 964 for a mate. His ABS lamp, caution lamp and (excuse my ignorance) looks like a 4wd lamp? They were flashing on over bumps etc. I stripped out the front ABS sensors and cleaned them up, tested the sensors they are putting out ac volts. I checked continuity of the wiring looms for the front sensors up to the inside of the wings. I cleaned up the earth connections at the sensor and on the inner wings. I checked the ABS brain plug for seating along with the ABS relays all 3. The brake fluid level is OK. I refitted everything and now the lights are on constantly? I was doing an oil change too so had the front of the car jacked way up high and running the engine to warm it up prior to emptying the oil tank. If I have unplugged the sensors with the engine running would that cause the warning lamp to remain on? On this system do the faults have to be cleared with a Bosch Hammer etc or does the fault memory automatically self clear (volatile or non-volatile)? I tried disconnecting the earth from the battery for a few minutes already.

Any help greatly appreciated. I may be able to help you guys with the newer stuff !!

Many thanks

Hi If you drive the car it should put the light out if all is ok!

The blowers were fitted on sc and 3.2 engines I diden't think the 3.2 came out till 84. The early cars did not have the electric blowers so no where to conect! just needs a ignition controld feed. Berny.

Silly question but have you checked the wheels are tight!

The rear heat shelds are held on with fast turn bolts and clips and often fall off over time new ones are not very costly and easy to change. Berny.

Hi Can anyone tell me the fuse number for the front trunk light? there is no live feed to the micro switch. Thanks 2005 987.

Thank you for your help. I will check the switch tomorrow.

I have a problem with the front trunk light! the switch has power to and from it but no feed to the light bulb is ok. thanks.

Here is a DIY HERE for front microswitch.

Hi thanks but the switch is ok the light is ok but can get no power to the light. Have tested the switch and changed the light for the trunk light!

Thank you for your help. I will check the switch tomorrow.

I have a problem with the front trunk light! the switch has power to and from it but no feed to the light bulb is ok. thanks.

I have a leaking timing chain housing that was repaired once but began leaking again. Anyone tackle this job before and is it a DIY. On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate it.

I have never done one in the car! If you drop the engine and remove the rear tinware its easy to do the rubber gaskets are the same part no for both sides now! you just put one on upside down. you will also nead the rubber seals that go under the cuped washers and put a little instant gasket on the threds to stop the oil leaking up the thred. hope this helps. Berny.

Hello,

just bought myself a 964 turbo. I haven't received it yet, but i know it will need a new front bumper, as it had been in a minor accident. I'm struggling to find one, so i'm wondering if a carrera bumper fits the turbo, or is the difference between them how big? :huh:

Hi the 964 & 965 bumpers are interchangable.

Hi the leak is not power steering fluid! no power steering on 911 until 1989. Brakes will need strip down and rebuld. I have 2 early cars enjoy. Berny.
