    Let me know who you end up using. I have a scratch I need repaired and haven't gotten around to finding a good place.

    For a leather repair I used http://www.leatherrepairkits.com/porsche.htm It was great match for Savannah Beige interior. Just don't apply too much or will be dark.

    Dumb Q but did you remove your tensioners first?
  4. 987_RDC
    Drain and vac test the system.

    Confirming the ignition switch did the trick to fix HVAC issue. (also crappy feel of ignition turn) I used the finger grip sockets from Craftsman #00943401000 I did have to use a bench gringer on a tiny standard screwdriver bit to shave it down to approx 3mm so it would fit into the tiny holes of the two screws. (after chipping off red paint w/ larger driver)

    Thanks again. Seems that needs to be replaced.Audi part # 4A0 905 849 B cool, only $9 amazon prime.

    Crap. Not what I wanted to hear. My car started on its own around the same time. The ignition seems to be "gummed up" like it wants to always turn to the right. I have to force it to get key out. Anyway to clean that?
  8. 987_RDC
    Will do! Any special instructions on how to get the HVAC out?
  9. 987_RDC
    My HVAC attempts to move the fan speed up and down on its own and the Frost button doesn't function. No air comes out of the vents on any settings. I think this started when I was holding the convertible button and tried to turn on the AC at same time. Ever since then its just going bonkers. 2002 Cabriolet.

    Put that $17k + trade in and keep your eyes peeled on CarMax. Saw a Gt3 recently for roughly price of 02 trade-in + $20k.

    Someone felt the need to key my car from front to end over the weekend. Really at a loss of what goes through someone's mind these days.... Should I try to get insurance to repair the sides or the car or is there better results in a scratch repair process? Very deep keying.
  12. 987_RDC
    Tighten the left hand turn bolt yet? It has to not be fully tight nor fully loose. I think manual says # of turns.
  13. 987_RDC
    You can manually open and close it if you follow the emergency procedure in manual. Still will need PT2, durametric and PIWIS to execute calibration. After fixing problem of course. (otherwise waste of time)
  14. 987_RDC
    Sounds like one of the micro switches missed execution. Most likely the one related to the "bow" you created. Can you shoot pics? Correct replacement and then calibration execution on PIWIS or durametric should resolve.

    Bought them from another Carrera Cab owner who had other parts of rear drive broken. Don't try to MIG weld the piece but not sure if TIG might work.
  16. 987_RDC
    The casing wasn't damaged and just replaced the pieces inside.
  17. 987_RDC
    Don't weld it with MIG, it will disintegrate. Ask me how I know. I solved same problem and documented here: (oh btw I did use frisbee's help) http://www.renntech....op-calibration/ Maybe you can TIG the "foot" back on.

    Turns out that switch does work but car has to be running. Checked E1 fuse and is fine. Seems the remote that came with the car doesn't work. Took apart and resoldered too. Resoldered connections on alarm box too, didn't make any improvement.
  20. 987_RDC
    I've searched and tried many of the suggested fixes but still have the folowing issue. I checked the B row fuse for locking and also the 15A external fuse under the drivers seat on alarm module. *EDIT* I thought the door switch was root cause of my key fob not working. Update is the door switch does work when car is running (sorry thought ignition was enough) Still not sure why fob not working for unlock. I hate always settting off the alarm.

    AOS does make sense causing excessive vacuum in the crankcase, but why internal/external coolant mix?
  22. 987_RDC
    OEM-99656126501 Replace it soon since will cause canvas to catch and then possibly snap your latch drive inside the clamshell unit.
  23. 987_RDC
    Try 8468 Success! Thanks
  24. 987_RDC
    Anyone?
  25. 987_RDC
    Got a part from another kind member for few dollars. Popped it back in, executed calibration. SUCCESS! Top works perfect now, awesome. Parts to fix: New latch cover Safety clips Hardware for clamshell Replaced latch slider Refilled fluid Replaced latch protection flap I believe the rear latch protection flap broke then the previous owner got the canvas caught and busted that foot off. From there the top stopped working. Not sure how they also busted the latch cover...
