I think you need # 28 here. If not there are other part #'s listed to pick from. Good luck.

DC

Well..

No one ever responded....So I thought I would share, that the Rear Bumper cover has to be removed to get these out. Once the Bumper Cover is off, they simply have some plastic tabs that allow you to snap them out from what would be the inside of the cover (when it is on the car).

Maybe that will help someone else who may need to remove them.

Bosch makes the PORSCHE MAF sensor, so I do not know that there would be any difference. You may just be more hyper observant of the sounds etc.. Hard for the

human ears etc., to detect any minuscule difference there would be anyway. You would need to connect an OBD device to see if you had different voltage, mixture, etc. readings. Sounds like you are OK. If you had issues, you would get a CEL, or will soon.

DC

I would not worry about it unless it happens again. Likely rust build up (oxidation) on the rotor....Once it is cleaned off it is fine. This can also happen to a certain degree when you wash the car and immediately park it overnight.

So unless you hear it and it persists, you should be fine

DC

Don't know any great detail on your specific issue, but typically when Porsche improves the design they create the new part. Does not mean the old part was bad nec. , and will obviously fit. Should be just like the one you are changing out, so no worries.

Good luck.

DC

It is a high performance vehicle. Tight tolerances, quiet engines, soft rides, are found in a Toyota Camry...Porsche pushes the performance envelope like race cars....The price we all pay for that great ride!

DC

DC thanks for your reply.I gave it another try and was able to start the car while the MAF was unplugged however if i plug it back in the car will not start.

Agree with PaulSpeed....There are a couple of different part numbers for these e-gas etc.. Also I assume you got this new? Some of the used ones on eBay may not work. Try installing your old one

and see what you get...then you will know it is the part.

Good luck!

DC

I would suggest going through what you did again and making certain you have the battery cables on correctly & tight, and any other wires you may have disconnected in the process. Even if you disconnect the MAF it will not create the condition you describe. You can run the car with it unplugged or even removed (though not advised). So check all of your connections.

The only other thing I could think of, is if you somehow cleared the connection with the key....Try using your second key and see if you get a different result?

Good luck!

Hi All,

I have a radar receiver that I need to remove for repair, It is behind the center grill, what is the best way to get to it? The grill does not appear to come out the front.

Thanks!

Marc

Most likely have to pull the bumper cover. They come off pretty easily.

To add to what Loren has indicated...1 MB is very large for a photo. A few things affect the file size; Color depth, pixel depth, size, and format. For photos, GIF is not a good choice as it has no compression algorithm and only supports up to 256 colors. Your best bet for a color photo is JPG or PNG....Both use a lossy compression algorithm and have color depths of 16 million colors +. I would suggest you set your photo to .JPG at 72 DPI pixel resolution and size it no more than 800 pixels wide. If you have an application that allows scaling of the compression(quality), anything over 60% will look very good and still maintain a relatively small file size.

I have attached 3 photos for reference: One is a 60% compression JPG that only requires 113K File size and you can see it is clear. One is the same file as GIF. It takes 233K file size and is very pixelated. The last file is another JPG at 100% (no compression) and takes 322K file size and looks no better than at 60%.

Hope that helps!

Crankcase sensor search in PET catalog shows the knock sensor. Listed as #33? Perhaps that helps?

I do not have the steps or photos, but it is extremely simple. When you get the tools (which are just two "blades"), they insert in two small slits on either side of the face of the unit. When they are inserted (and they

only;y insert one way....You have to have the right an left oriented correctly)..they depress little tabs on the side of the radio chassis that allows you to pull straight out (and may require some force).

Just be careful not to scratch your dash panels as you pull out. Once it comes forward, there are a few plugs that simply disconnect...And your radio is out! Reverse process to reinstall. As I recall, the fuse is right on the

back and visible as soon as you remove it.

If I come across anything else I will post. Hope this helps.

DC

PS..Make sure you have your radio code available: And here are some pics I found:

Good to know...Thanks for sharing!

We bought a 05 Cayenne turbo for my wife this weekend. It does not have a hitch (or tow prep package as far as I know). I want to occasionally tow our stand-up jet skis. I have searched and read a dozen plus threads about towing and a trailer towing electrical module that needs to be installed in the back and that it may or may not work with LED lights. My question is, do I absolutely need that module? Has anyone tried to T into the taillight wiring of the Cayenne like a normal vehicle?

Aaron

Without the module you are going to get all kinds of fun computer warnings and malfunctions....Get the module.

Good luck.

DC

Hi,

You should use the search on this site as this question seems to come up every week. There are lots of threads on the subject for various models.

Good luck.

DC

HI,

Was wondering if anyone knows or has a diagram/instructions of how the exhaust ducts are clipped in / removed? It is #15 in the image with the red arrow pointing to it.

I was hoping to NOT have to remove the bumper cover, but suspect it may be required. Before I started trying to figure it out and potentially damaging something, I thought I would ask here.

Any help, instructions, images, etc.... Appreciated!

As always....Thanks!

DC

Check out this thread on 6Speed: Here

I think it answers your question(s)

DC

Not quite the same set that I have, but I believe that those are meant to be covers not replacements. For the brake and clutch you do take off the rubber pads, but for the throttle it should just screw to the existing pedal. At least this is how mine installed.

+1 ...These are just covers....Cautions...Just place them carefully again and again......Then drill Take your time...Remove the rubber pads (OEM)....If you can clamp in place...great. Mark, drill, and

install bolts...Pretty straight forward.

Goos luck!

DC

Looks nice! Can't tell from your photo , but if you do not have stone guards behind the doors get them quick. It is amazing how much S%$^$ gets thrown up there and how quickly

it gets nicked up ( I am talking weeks!).

Good luck and enjoy.

DC

Hi

Any of you have a good detailed explaination step by step with photos for 987S 2007 front spoiler removal ?

I need to replace the failed horns.

Thanks

You are replacing horns? Are you needing to remove the bumper cover or the spoiler? There are several articles here and on rennlist and 6speed that cover bumper cover removal. Not sure of any that just have the spoiler removal?

Good luck.

After the car was sitting in my garage for 1 week without driving, I decided to go for a drive when the factory alarm would not dis-arm itself after pressing the key button. It would not dis-arm and open the doors. I then manually open the driver's door with the key into the keyhole. I fired her up with no problem. Then, I tried arming and disarming the alarm with the key button with NO PROBLEM. What happened? Is it because I had not activated the alarm for a while that the factory alarm would not engage? No, it's not the key battery because it's brand new.

Thanks,

1999 cab 996

That is how it is supposed to operate. If you arm it and leave it for a period of time, you must use the key to open the car. After normal use, this is reset and will work as normal.

No issues...Just how it was designed to work.

Good luck.

DC

Looks like a nice car...Enjoy!

Hi there,

My wife used to have a Boxster ( like in 1999 I think). I got this wing already painted on eBay and it was good quality and matched perfectly. I thought it made the rear look nicer.

Here are a couple of photos for you. I know there are other styles too.
