  1. The problem was finally solved after replacement of the master brake cylinder, an 150 dollar part..... Replacement of the abs sensors didnt solve the problem, neither did replacing the brake control unit....
  2. okido! Problem solved.... It was a bad connection in both :eek: mirrors..... Thanx for your help guys!
  3. nope, didn't try that yet, i was guessing that it was a fuse, since both mirror heaters are u/s.... Tomorrow, i will unscrew the mirror and have a further look into it....
  4. Hi Mijostyn, Thx man, iam going to investigate tomorrow! thanx for your reply, i keep you guys posted!
  5. Huh? I don't have the bose amplifier, and the right doorspeaker works fine..... This is a picture from the piwis..... Seems to be a specific mirror heating issue.... I think?
  6. Hi jl-c, Thx for your reply. do you have any idea about the meaning of fault code p8016?
  7. Hmmm the piwis says fault code 8016 mirror heating, both in the left and right door.... Fault doesnt clear.... Any idea? I cant find the meaning of this fault code....
  8. Ahhh, i swapped battery's a few weeks ago.... That might have caused it then? Ill be going to the dealer with it..... Keep you posted! Thx!
  9. Hi everybody, My 2007 997 4s has a little problem.... The side mirror heating does not work at all both left and right.... Adjustment works fine. Rear window heat works ok *** well..... Does anyone know which fuse to check? Or other solutions? Thx in advance ! Dennis
  10. Hi dave! What ended up to be the problem with your car? I have the same problem with mine, 996 4S manual6 2002 120.000 KM..... grtz Dennis
  11. Hello everybody! My 2002 996 4S has a strange problem..... While i left home two weeks ago, i first noticed that the brakepedal felt hard... thereafter i noticed initially that the car didnt seem to roll easily.... it felt like there was a little bit off brake power applied to the wheels..... Entering the highway, at a speed op 70 miles/hr the wheel started to shiver , initially a little bit, but quickly increasing in force. I thought it was a flat tire, so i stopped..... When speed decreased i noticed that the car was braking by itself. After the car came to a full stop, and i checked the tires ( no flat tires) i tried to drive away but i couldnd, the wheels were locked..... I had to call for a tow a way truck...... I saw three warnings on the dash, amber: psm failure, drive to workshop, amber: ABS failure and red: WARNING brake distribution...... the strange thing however: after the car was delivered to the dealer it seemed to be ok..... No more warnings and the wheels were free again.... I noticed that brakefluid was forced out of the reservoir a little bit..... The dealer is looking into the problem now for two weeks already and they still have no glue what the problem is.... It comes back after a few minutes of driving the car.... Faultcodes: 4340 4460 4276 Does anybody have an idea? I hope somebody recognice the problem........ Thanx for reading this post anyway! Dennis
