  1. Hi,

    I know that you will think that I'm crazy but I don't care... I can't help it... I hate rust and it's my biggest fear.

    When I removed the spare tire of my TT, I noticed that the screw that was maintaining it sratched the part of the body (is it the body ???) that you can see through the hole (the screw was tightened very strongly and it was touching the bottom).

    Can it rust down there ? What kind of metal is it made of ?

    Please excuse my horrible way of speaking and writing.

    Cheers from Switzerland.

  2. :( Please help me... I live in Switzerland and I have a technical control at the SAN (DMV for you ???) this week...

    The car is very loud with PSE mode ON... so I have to start the car with PSE OFF.

    I don't get it. Isn't the factory-like PSE approved by authorities in Switzerland? I was at the TÜV here in Germany last week and when they fired up my car those engineers started laughing. They think it's funny that the PSE is legal but never really questioned the fact. I didn't even bother to switch on the speed cut-out since they don't testdrive it.

    It SHOULD be...well it's a bit risky on a car that does not have factory installed PSE (furthermore on a 3.4).

    Someone had to remove his exhaust after a db level test... they do what they want at the SAN (TUV)...

  3. Hi,

    I know this topic has been treated many times... sorry in advance but I did not found any answer to my 2 questions.

    I wanted to replace my old Becker cr21 with an Alpine 9881 but when I removed the Becker... what a surprise with the non ISO wiring (yellow connector).

    - How to go from this :

    to this :

    iso.jpg

    ?

    - What are those two cables (brown and blue) on the becker chassis ?

  4. Thank you Kim I will check tomorrow !

    Tell me if I am wrong but I dont think it is the connection between the dash switch and the relay as I doesn't even get quiet between 29 and 45 mph...

    Another thing is all was working perfectly... I don't think it's a short circuit as it happened 3 hours later ?

    Maybe it's the relay itself ?

  5. Ok... I tested the 2 switches... everything was working perfectly, i was happy... and 3 hours later... nothing was working anymore...

    The switch on the dash still has the light working but the car is always loud...

    There is no vaccum leak.

    How to get the car quiet (is there a temporary solution as I use the car in town) ?

    What do I have to test ?

  6. So what I need to do is add a switch so I can have those solutions :

    - Always loud.

    - Always silent.

    or

    - Quiet between 29 and 45 mph

    - Always silent.

    I think i will disconnect the original wire and put another wire and connector on position 23 and connect them together on a switch like this one... :

    If your plan is to simply interrupt the speed wire (pink/gray) with a switch, then you will have a situation in which your car is factory normal (quiet between 29-45) when the switch is 'on', and NOT quiet in this speed range when the switch is 'off'.

    The current is so light that the volt/ohm rating of the switch is not important. You need the R61 .... Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) that is NOT momentary contact.

    Well I have the factory switch which allows to have the car quiet. I need another switch to be able to interrupt the speed wire.

  7. Hi,

    Instinctively that's what I did last night, many thanks Orient express !

    As I am in Switzerland I have to keep the quiet mode between 29 and 45 mph (for inspections each tree years at the "Bureau des Autos" (DMV in your country)).

    So what I need to do is add a switch so I can have those solutions :

    - Always loud.

    - Always silent.

    or

    - Quiet between 29 and 45 mph

    - Always silent.

    I don't know what is the best solution for this... Is it possible to order a wire and a connector at Porsche (maybe there are some references)? I don't want to cut any original wire :

    wire.jpg

    I think i will disconnect the original wire and put another wire and connector on position 23 and connect them together on a switch like this one... :

    The only thing is I don't know what caracteristics the switch has to have...
