Hi Slip!

How did your conversion go?

How did you wire it eventually? Any dash lights?

I was thinking for the non-Turbo DRL, there are 2 modes, day or night. I would want to find the pins that work the night mode and use them on the Turbo DRL. As such, the Turbo DRL should be on all the time?

Please share how you did it.

Sprint.

Fuel pump or high pressure fuel pump? One is for tank, the other for DFI?

Yes, it's a 2010 997 TT. PET calls it 997T2? Anyway, I unplug the fuel pump control unit and same symptoms but no error codes. I plug it back in and same symptoms with P1284 code.

Is it a bad fuel pump control unit? Do they go back? Took it apart. No moisture or anything...

It's a gray market car. No warranty. :-(

The 997T2 has been running well till this morning. It would fire up but after 3 to 5 seconds, the engine would sputter to a halt. When cranked up again, it fires up perfectly, only to sputter and die 3 to 5 seconds later.

I pulled out a P1284 code from

DME. It says "Fuel Pump, electrical". Do you know how to rectify this? Is this the fuel tank pump or high pressure pump for DFI?

Sprint.

Getting closer.

The delay in the tach and water temp gauge is from the wrong water temp sender. Soon to be fixed.

Made my own gauge faces to match the van. Bright orange and ivory.

How did you make your own faces? Do they light up with backlight? I'd like to learn. Please teach! :-)

Hello All,

My 2002 C4 has a rattling noise that is driving me nuts. It seems temp related. On hot days, no sound, but cooler nights, the rattling comes on from low rpms. It's like a resonance sound.

Oddly, I thought it was from the left (RHD car) but my brother sitting on the passenger side said it's from the right. We swapped drivers and hey... He was right as well! Driver hears it coming from left and passenger hears it from right. And only when cold weather!

Anyone had this before? Any simple fix before I tear into the dash?

Thanks!

Sprint.

Ok, I searched with no luck.

I have a '02 C4. Door was perfect till 3 months ago. After unlocking, it sometimes needed 2 pulls to open. First pull, window drops a tad but door no open. 2nd pull, window drops again and then presto! Door opens.

Of late, even with 2 pulls, the windows drop as usual but door doesn't open. I try to pull a few more times without success

What I realize is that when I thump on the door close to the handle, the door opens prefectly!

What is happening? I feel quite like a mad man hitting on my door before opening it.

Help!

Hi All!

I have trouble calibrating a PDK trans. I get abort codes 03 & 22. Also P1872 error code. Can you help me ask your tech what it means? I'm on PIWIS Tester V32.

The car was flooded and the PDK module (among others) was fried so I installed a new one, hence need for calibration.

Also, I couldn't get hold of PDK fluid (FFL-3) initially so I used DSG fluid (FFL-2) first to flush. Will that affect things?

Thanks and have a good day!

Sprint.

Hi All!

My cupholder flap broke and while I bought a new piece, I can't figure out to get the old one out. Anyone got a tutorial for it?

Also, same case with electric front/rear boot release. The pivot for the front switch broke. Bought a new one and hoping someone can guide me to replace it.

Thanks and have a good day ahead!

Hi All!

I was looking thru PET and found a part with no description.

See pic. It is number 5 and when I pick on it, I get a message saying "Part number unknown"

Anyone any idea what it is?

Sprint.

Also, if it helps any, when doing vehicle handover, it displays "PROTECT" initially, then enters "SERVICE" mode and I get a message "PCM woken up successfully". I feel happy for a sec then crestfallen when it says "PROTECT" again! Grrr...

Sprint.

Go to the MOST (or CDR-23) section of the PIWIS and have find on control modules.

I did that. It's under PCM. Once in PCM, "PROTECT" becomes "SERVICE".

There are no errors and when I run the MOST test, everything checks out fine.

I can find control modules and there is read code and write code function and I did read and write to no effect.

Is there anything I missed?

Sprint.

Try this:

After activation out of production mode and then switching on the radio CDR23, the sound output is inactive (no sound audible).

1. Get out of the vehicle, close all doors and the lid and lock the vehicle using the hand-held transmitter.

2. Wait till the anti-theft protection LED flashes.

3. Then unlock the vehicle again.

4. Switch on the CDR23: the sound output should now be active.

5. If the sound output is inactive, the battery must be disconnected and then reconnected.

6. Ignition off: Disconnect and reconnect the battery.

Hi Loren!

No effect. Locking & unlocking via transmitter same result.

Disconnected the battery with ignition off. Still "PROTECT" is on the display of CDR23.

Any other way? This CDR23 is original to this Cayenne and until I did the vehicle handover mode on PIWIS, it was all fine!

Sigh..

Ok, will try and report back!

Goodnight!

Hello All,

I am at my wits end about a '05 Cayenne V6 and the CDR23 that has been in it since day 1.

The radio has been working perfectly till my friend bought the car and I did a scan on the Cayenne for him using PIWIS V27. Everything checked out fine and I did a Vehicle Handover and then the radio went into Protect mode.

When scanning for PCM or doing another Vehicle Handover scan, the radio would enter Service mode and then go into Protect.

I read that there is no radio code for the CDR23 and we did key in the VIN correctly. How else to revive it?

Or should we key in an incorrect VIN then try the correct one?

Gurus, please help! It's my itchy fingers that caused this! Should have left Vehicle Handover alone... :-(

Alvin.

2008 997 Turbo. 12k miles on the clock.

While scanning via PIWIS, the DME threw up a P1659 code. It says "Output stage overrun air circulation solenoid valve". What does it mean? The divertor valves?

Also, how noisy are the timing chains on the TT engine? Can one actually hear them? I was squatting by the intercooler area and I can hear 'grrak grrak grrak". Normal?

Last question. Having a flashed ECU, is it possible to use PIWIS to get factory maps back? How?

Thanks!

Sprint.

Those aren't actual codes. Something got screwed up when you read the codes out. You might want to try another code reader. The System at Idle Bank 2" & "System at Idle Bank 1" is legit though. I would say you have some kind of air leak that is screwing up your fuel adaptions but without seeing the fuel trim its just a guess.

What does" System at Idle Bank 1" mean? That the problem is happening at bank 1?

Ok, I get the codes read from a PIWIS and get the fuel trim read too. What's a typical acceptable value for fuel trim?

Thanks!

Sprint.

Exact model and year of your car please?

Hi Loren!

Sorry, my bad. It's a '05 Cayenne 3.2 V6.

I notice on startup from cold, the engine vibrates a bit and missfires? But evens out when the rpms drop to a steady idle after about 30 seconds. If it helps any.

Sprint.

Hi All,

I got 2 codes : P48BD & P48BB. I erased them via Durametric tool and they came back again today. They say "System at Idle Bank 2" & "System at Idle Bank 1" respectively.

Anyone any ideas? It doesn't make sense to me as it doesn't say rich, lean or efficiency levels.

Anyway, what the typical fuel economy you guys are getting?

Thanks!

Sprint.

You have PM

Thanks and reply sent! :-)

Hello All,

I have a laptop version of PIWIS. V24 software.

I am having trouble connecting it to my Bosch KTS520.

When I do a firmware update on the KTS, it seems ok. No error messages. Then I try to diagnose and I get a error message that says,"Software in KTS521(sic) not up to date. Update using PIWIS Offline Client"

Does this make any sense at all? How do I get new firmware or for that matter, how do I check firmware for the KTS520?

Thanks for any help. It's very frustrating...

Sprint.

Hi All!

Anyone knows or can point me to torque specs for putting together a 997 TT engine? I have a list for a 996. Same or different altogether?

Many thanks and have a good weekend ahead!

Sprint.

Hello All,

Title says it all. I got a '08 2.7 Cayman engine. Is it plug and play into a '03 Boxster? Both run DME 7.8, right?

Thanks!

Sprint.

Hi All!

Is there a part number for the above or is it a bunch of parts? If so, anyone knows the part list?

Also, is the PIWIS needed during the install?

Many thanks! Have a good weekend ahead!
