  1. OK, now I see. I just happened to see discs which didn´t have the drawing! Thanks
  2. Hi, I tried to find the technical drawings, but couldn´t locate them. Could you post a link?
  3. And if I have a 1998 Boxter, do Boxter S rear calibers (or maybe 996 from 98-03) fit?
  4. Richard, Is there a BIG difference with fuel maps. If here is a minimal difference, I don´t mind... But what worries me, is that you say the alarm module is coded differently. What do you mean exactly? Kare
  5. The combo what I was offered, has the same pin-layout (although the seller states the year is 2000) than my car. maybe the model year is 1999? So it should fit?
  6. Hi I checked the diagnostic line wire, and it´s perfect, no corrosion,and resistance as it should be. The inmobilizer /alarm unit has a fuse and it was Ok, with clean contact points. So, back to the original question (as it looks like the alarm unit is faulty?), could I swap the other DME/Alarm/key transponder unit to my car, althoug the other car was a tiptronic? My car is manual 1998.
  7. Hi I have a 98 Boxter with 3.4 engine on it. Suddenly the car doesn´t start. First the car was cranking, but not firing. Now it doesn´t even crank. With Durametric I got the following codes: 49 k line 10 no current at 30 36,34 and 33 interior senor 42 not correct key or transponder 23 w line 47 locking syncronizing 21 inmobilizer line w It´s difficult for me to bring the car to the Porsche (long distance), could I use the DME, and matching key transponder/inmobilizer combo from other car? I found one, that is from year 2000 from 996 to swap them over ? This RoW version, and my engine is a RoW as well. The inmobilizer in my car has value M535, and the combo for sale has M534. Many thanks in advance!!! best, Kare
  8. Hi guys, I bought a 3.8 997 S engine, and it came with flywheel and clutch. The pressure plate and clutch were loose, and I want to install them. I did it once already, but the clutch disk is slipping.The parts are with no noticeable wear. I know the pressure plate is self-adjusting, and after done some searching I couldn´t find instructions how to install it. I hope the plate was properly removed... I suppose I must reset the pressure plate self adjusting mechanism somehow, what is the correct procedure? Many thanks! Kare
  9. What youmena by "catless headers"? You mention you have the cats fitted... As far as I know you don´t need to reprogram the comuter (unless it was done wrong). Any fault codes present? Kare
  10. Hi It´s very difficult to estimate the damage by the photos. Remember the Porsche parts are very expensive (just Porsche makes them), especially for the bodywork. 15.000 $ is nothing in your project, plus the labor. Apart from sheetmetal parts, there are numerous hoses and other bits and pieces you will need, and they are not cheap. Of course you can try to search used parts, but that´s a long way to go, and will take a while... Good luck! Kare, Spain
  11. Are you sure the timing is right? I just remember, that once one bank is set for right timing, the engine needs to be rotated 360º to set the other bank...otherwise the cycle (compression/exhaust etc.) is not correct (it might on reverse now). Saludos, Kare
  12. I forgot to mention, the one on the right picture is vinyl. A vinyl panel doesn´t have stiching on it, and the vinylpart is one of piece... Kare
  13. Yes the vinyl was available, the leather doors (and dashboards was optional)
  14. Yes, might be, but as I have nothing to loose, I decided to try it....The original carrier is quite thin, and I think my glue is quite much stronger. What I don´t know wheter the caulk is too rigid. But, until today, no issues.
  15. Hi I did a test, and repaired my MY05 Cayenne drive shaft by myself. The ballbearing carrier was broken (a common fault) and normally needs the comple drive shaft replacement. AS it was only the rubber part which was broken, I fixed the ballbearing with a Teroson bodyshop glue (used to glue bodywork parts together, without soldering). It´s like a silicon caulk, but much stronger. I didn´t remove the drive shaft, just used the vehicles highest settings for groundclearance, and applied the caulk. So far I´ve done about 2000 kilometers, and the repair has resisted.... Kare
  16. Without seeing it it´s difficult to say, but generally speaking the leather can be repaired and tinted to appear as new. It shouldn´t cost toomuch either...The car dealerships should know a local chap who does these repairs for them.
  17. Yeps,the pieces can be sanded and sprayed with 2K clearcoat (the same used in your paintwork).
  18. Uh,the rattle might be a sign that your IMS broke. Mine did the same and the engine was gone.... Don´t crank the engine anymore, until the cause has been investigated. Jack Raby is the expert on these issues, contact him. Let´s hope for best!
  19. Yes, anybody knows the differences between the 996/997 S clutch?
  20. You cannot "program" the valet key as there´s no electrics on it.... You will need the original key, otherwise the car won´t start: so be prepared to spend some $$$$´s on it. Triggering the alarm is rather complicated, and you can do a lot of harm. And please do not buy any keys from Ebay, unless they are completely new, you cannot reprogram them, as with the key comes codes needed to match the key. Without the codes you are lost. However, as suggested on other post, you´d better to buy the Durametric software. You get fantastic support FREE, and they are very helpful. It cannot clear any fault codes with alarm, but at least it will tell you what´s going on....For example, if there is a problem with clutch switch.
  21. Indeed you have the a key, which really only open the doors, nothing else... You have to contact Porsche stealership to get the matched key with transponder. Otherwise the car won´t start. The same key is your remote control. I´m afraid it will cost quite much, and you need to reprogram the key. Now the alarm blocks any attempts to crank the engine (I don´t remeber what id does exactly). The alarm might also prevent opening the forward trunk, engine bay etc. , although you open the door with a key. The main wiring harness goes either side from front to back. On right hand side there is one main plug, on the left hand side three plugs, they go by the sills under the plastic parts. Maybe somebody didn´t bother tu put the wires into the right place? It´s quite a project you are doing, I made a 3.8 S conversion to my MY 99 996 C2 cabrio, and I had to change all the old wiring, DME, alarm, A/C module... Kare BTW, I have some old electrical parts, wiring harnesses , Instrument cluster etc. from my car. If you need something, let me know
  22. Under the driver´s seat there is the alarm module, do you have it? It must match the transponder which is located in your key (open the key to check if a smallish cylindrical piece is there). Under the passenger seat there shouldn´t be too many cables, only the ones related to power seat controls and seat belt buckle...
