The ebay connector(s) , from Australia, arrived today and I can confirm it doesn't fit, neither the housing nor the pins/terminals. A completly waste of time ...and money. don't get this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-New-Connector-Set-For-Porsche-911-996T-GT2-GT3-997-Carrera-Ignition-Coil-/171077008052The Bosch connectors mentioned in my last post fit perfectly. I was able to reuse the existing pins and the silicon gaskets. None of them was damaged before or during the procedure. I change all 3 plugs from the left side using the terminal tool. I strugled ony with a center pin for a while. Below I will attach 3 photos with the oem vs part i found The complete oem part number is: 1 928 402 868. You can find it on ebay, the complete kit, housing-pins-silicons - for $9 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bosch-1-928-402-868-3-Way-Connector-Kit-/110458797063 The part number of the connector I found in the Bosch catalog is 1 928 403 110, housing only.

Update: 1. The ebay connectors from Australia have been on hold at LAX since the 1st. USPS sucks. 2. I contacted more than 5 stores, not including Pelican parts and 2 Porsche dealerships. Only one store was able to give me an alternative. 3. I was able to find the exact cable terminal (just the cable housing) in the Bosch catalog // Bosch part number 1 928 403 110. I purchase it from http://www.nexelec.com (the product photo is wrong). I've also purchased Bosch 1 928 403 970 but it doesn't fit properly. 4. The new ignition coils are ready to be installed. The new Bosch connector fits perfectly. I'll try to reuse the existing pins if not I'll probably replace them with something similar made by Tyco. 5. Tool 21 from Wilmar (W89732) 23-Piece Terminal Release Kit looks like it will help me remove the cable from the old port. Additional photos of the existing OEM part (used but in good condition). I was able to identify the following codes: 192840 (also found on the new Bosch connector 1 928 403 110) PA 66 GF 30 (also found on the new Bosch connector 1 928 403 110) 21 321 (cable numbers also found on the new Bosch connector 1 928 403 110) .2868 (after removal) The correct part number is : 1 928 402 868

The terminal removal tool kit has arrived. I'll try to remove the plug today. The new plug will arrive soon. Meantime, check out the old melted plug below.

I appreciate your reply. Thank you very much. - The vaccum unplug is not an option. Most of the time, when I leave my house i need PSE off for at least 1/2 mile. - the resistor hack / relay, as far as I know, works for 996 only, isn't it? On my 997, PSE is connected to the DME via 2 wires. At least that's how I connected it following the PSE instructions. Does anybody know the exact functions of these two wires?
-
I'm trying to decide which version of Durametric do I need. For 997.1 C2, I have a couple of questions: - what features have been disabled for the US market? - is it possible to enable the side marks to blink during signaling left/right? - is it possible to disable the freaking PSE speed override? - is it possible to get and install the latest version of the engine management and transmission for my car? Or could you let me know where are can find all the settings/features that can be enabled/disabled via Durametric?
-
Ahsai, i appreciate your reply. The old pins might be compromised but I'm trying to preserve the length and the integrity of the original wire. The dealer asked for more info (the exact picture or part number), I'm still waiting for a reply. Meantime, I ordered 3 sockets from the ebay seller (australia) and the toolset recommended by Loren. The car battery is in the charger. Before I attempt to start the car again, I'm planning to: - replace the coolant expansion tank - replace all the ignition coils & spark plugs (arriving today) - identify and check all the fuses & relays for ME 7.8 - replace the damaged ignition male socket - if I can find/borrow/buy a durametric tool to check for more error codes Anything else?
-
To install the new socket, do I need a crimping tool?
-
Thank you Loren. I appreciate it. I found this on Amazon, very similar if not identical to the PlusQuip: Wilmar (w89732) and also something similar on ebay: Powerbuilt (641448)
-
All the fuses I checked so far have the correct value. In my previous post, the porsche doc specifies a lot more fuses and relays than the car's manual. Also a Porsche mechanic from Germany, the neighbor of a good friend of mine, advise me to look for those extra relays and fuses, especially in the back. He couldn't say exactly where to look for without seeing the car. He also said to replace the entire cable. Buying the whole wire is not the problem, installing it is. Do you know where i can find the special tool?
-
Well...for nothing important, I don't really need the pro version. You are right, maybe i should get a $300 ver.
-
$300 for you might not be a big deal. Anyway, I need the pro version, which is $800. I remember few years ago there was somebody on ebay renting them out.
-
Please let me know where I can find a Durametric tool for rent in Orange County California. Thank you
-
According to my research my car has the ME 7.8 and the fuses & relays for the motronic section can be found in the following positions: Fuse carrier in left footwell: B1, D1,D4,D6, D7 Fuse carrier in rear: F1 (fuse potion 6 on relay carrier 2) Relay Carrier 1 in left footwell: Fuse 8,12,14,16 Relay carrier 2: Fuse 8,9 Please confirm.
-
No, i just checked it by removing it and inspecting it. I'll check it with a meter. Any idea where i can find the the ignition plug socket (green arrow) pic02.jpg
-
The D7 fuse looks ok. Anything else? Thanks
-
I appreciate it. Do you know where is this fuse located?

1. Engine stopped and it doesn't start. 2. OBD codes: p0201 to p0206 Cracked coolant resevoir licked coolant all over the left side of the engine: - one of the ignition coil has melted plastic around contacts (smells very bad too) - the ignition coil plug socked is also melted I've tried to restart the engine with this coil disconnected (a desperate move). It refused to start and it drained the battery extremely fast (i'm an idiot, have mercy, please). Please let me know: 1. where to find/buy a new ignition coil plug socket? (I found them in Australia) 2. After i install a new coolant tank, a new ignition coil and a new plug socket what else should i look for before attemting to start the car? 3. Why so many error codes (p0201-2-3-4-5-6) if only one ignition plug was affected? What have I done?! Thank you very much. I apprecite it.

HELP!
d0lph1n replied to d0lph1n's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
I appreciate your reply. Thank you. The part number is 996.106.226.52 It's a 5$ part. The nearest dealer had in stock. 2 new clamps and 1 gallon of coolant later everything is back to normal, i hope. I'm not sure i understand why it's made out of plastic!!! The old part was completely cracked and falling apart. What if some of it ended in the cooling system. I'm sorry but this is totally unacceptable. A sad and dissapointing afterthought. -
Lost coolant, i'm in Costa Mesa CA. Please help me id the coolant hose connector. - It's made of plastic - it's locatted under the engine oil inlet, screwed on the top part of the engine it connects 2 hoses - one hose goes down behind the serpentine belt - one goes up to left above the engine oil inlet Thank you very much

The right side of the front carpet - passenger's footwell on the sidewall- is unglued, it looks annoying every time you step on it. What's the proper way to fix it? Thank you

I'm pretty much convinced that the PSE sound of my car is affected by the tightening torque, at least, of the clamping sleeves for rear muffler/catalytic converter and the clamping sleeve next to them, on both sides. Recently I installed an used PSE system on my 997 C2 and I tightened the screws without a torque wrench. I'm sure I put more than 23Nm (17ftlb) on the clamping sleeves's M8s. The PSE sounded too clean and kind of flat, imho. With the correct tightening torque, the PSE comes alive, it's more aggressive, more metallic notes... Can anybody confirm similar results?
-
Thank you Maurice. I'll give it a try asap
-
Guys, What's your suggestion? After a DIY PSE install, the left muffler sits/ sags around 3/4 -1 inch lower than right one no matter how much I tried to adjust the left tip. On a similar issue, few people suggested an exhaust realignment. What your opinion or how to do an "exhaust realignment"? Thank you
-
Do you know where I can find the 12V connector for the change-over valve. Or at least what it's called or a ref. number? As far as I understand, it's a common part in VW / Audi cars. I have the change-over valve and I'm not willing to pay $200 just to get the wire harness from the kit 997.612.905.01. Thank you

Maybe the circuit board of the outside handle, if it has one, has soldering issues.
