    I think I read on another board that excessive NOx is likely due to the Cat Converter going bad.

    The O2 sensor is a piece of cake to replace. * Order a generic O2 sensor for your model year. Mine is an '84 and I think I paid about $35. * Run the engine for just a few minutes to warm the pipe a bit. * Remove old sensor, cut wire, crimp wire for new sensor on to harness end of wire. (If you have a three wire sensor you of course have to connect the additional two wires as well. * Install new sensor.

    I recently resealed the steering rack on my '84 944. Instead of disconnecting the tierods completely, I simply disconnected the inners, then I had an assistant hold the rack securely as I reattached the inner tierods. Don't forget to peen the tierod end to the rack! Doing this in this manner meant that I had not altered the alignment in any way (Or, so little I sure can't tell). Also, the rubber boots should have been taken off to clean or replace. You can force these over the inner end, they end up inside out. Flip them back over and you are good to go. When filling the system back up with fluid fill the reservoir, start the car for about 3 - 5 seconds and shut it off. Check and add fluid. Now start the engine and move the steering back and forth end to end, check the fluid again. Clean the rack parts, hoses, reservoir, etc.. Clean them again!

    Sure you can. I did on my 05 987. $4400.00 total for it and the cost of a CDC-4 and the labor to install it. Most expensive cell I've bought yet. Great tool however.

    You're right! Thanks. Don't know why I did make that connection.

    Anyone know what happened to the site? Need my parts fix...

    I had a short discussin with THE mechanic at my dealer about this. We thought that theoretically it should be possible to retrofit. I think without the wart as well. Might be a little pricey but it's all $$$ and adding the electronics IMO. Just exaclty how to do it is the question.
  9. dsumners
    Yep. Coat hanger straightened out should do it.

    Carefully determine the source. Spraying water on the car to find it could increase the damage. The imobilizer is under the drivers seat and if it gets wet you will have it on a flatbed. Been there. New imobilier, lock motors, etc... Covered by body shop that boo boo'd...

    I am talking about the MULTI Function Steering wheel for MY '05+. Not a hack.
  12. dsumners
    Hey those ceneters are not installed correctly. To the valve stems :)

    Have a '05 987 with the telephone module and CDC-4. In the PCM these 2 devices show a triangle with an exclamation point next to the device in the list. The devices function perfectly fine. Is there an issue or not? All other devices have a checkmark next to them. TIA

    I am told by my dealer that Porsche has not delivered an instruction procedure for installing this yet. Anyone have any information???
  15. dsumners
    That looks dang familiar. Like a plug behind the carpet on the side for the access to remove the headlights?

    Also the part number PNA 488 521 05 should just change to PNA 488 521 06 I believe

    I'm spoiled :cheers:

    Porsche. $110 per document. Be warned the center console is actually in the Exterior if I remember correctly. It will be in the TOC that you can view for free. It's all there. You just have to buy it. Better than the old $2k or whatever it was....IMO Noticed you were the original requestor so I thought I would help direct a little more than just saying Porsche. https://techinfo.porsche.com/techinfo/VFMod...pe=MainFrameSet Do a document search for a 987, you can buy the Workshop manual groups online and recieve them immediately. All yours and all legal. :)

    on the '05's the harness does not attach to the rollbar (did on my '02 MY). But the harness run down the same area behind the passenger seat. The harness is too short to move the rear speaker unit around to get a good hold (or view) of the connector.
  23. dsumners
    It's inside the enclosure and you cannot turn it over to see it because the cable is too short....
  24. dsumners
    Just how the heck do you disconnect this. I opened the little flap and tried to press the clip together to disconnect it with no success. What's the trick? '05 MY.
  25. dsumners
    Hmmm... Mine came with Nav and I don't have "Nav" manual...
