Yup!

Swapped out one from my 996 and the ABS system works properly. Bad right rear sensor

it read .4k and the good one 1.8k

Cleared the codes and will see if the P0501 comes back

2004 986 S 

codes 4210 & P0501

Thanks

During an autocross yesterday, my ABS went out and the OBD says ABS FAILURE and the ABS idiot light is on. I have only basic ABS, no PSM
Brakes work fine, just no ABS. 
 
I have a new found appreciation for ABS. Without it working, its really easy to lock up the brakes.
 
In searching, it could be a wheel sensor that went bad. I did find some info on testing them with a OHM meter, but there were several values mentioned and I don't know what the correct one is.
 
Anyone have any thoughts on troubleshooting the problem?

I decided to not replace the clips and safety wire then cabled instead

Thanks all!

Yea, I was thinking of using zip ties

In searching a bit, is 986-424-411-00 the correct part?

Have been searching, can you order the factory clips?

Part number?

Went under the car and the cable was loose at the bracket. Ill order new retaining clips to fix that

Messed around with it and its all good now!

Thankx

Changing out the broken trunk release is pretty easy

Just pull back the carpet, a screw or 2 and wiggle it out

I bought a used one on ebay for around $30

Took about 15 minutes to swap out

And I was trying to figure out why someone was looking for a 6ft tall invisible rabbit.  :)

the correct kit is K7029001

Best deal I found was $325 @ Rock Auto. FCPEuro also matched the $325  price

Ebay pricing was higher

well it was the front motor mount. Replaced it and now smooth as silk. Didi a short twisty road drive and the car feel tighter as well

I bought just the 987 insert and had it pressed into the old carrier. It was around $30 for teh insert. Also needed the new style shims, $25 each!!.

Here's a pic of the old mount

Thanks

Replacing the motor mount is a lot less $$ than bad CVs

I guess the clunking stops when its warm due to the rubber softening and expanding a little

Ordered the parts and will change it next weekend.

Guess I should have changed it out when I did the water pump a few months ago

I need to replace the motor mount on my 04 S

I will be getting the newer (987) part, not just the insert
What I am confused is,  do I need the newer 987 shims or will the older 986 shims work
There is a huge difference in $$ ~$6 each vs $25 each

try warehouse33auto.com

not to really rag on you, but they are brake pads, not break pads and you want a straight answer, not a strait answer

A spell checker is your friend. Trust me I use one all the time  :thumbup:

there are lots of great non Porsche options as well. Do a search on this as well as other forums for opinions

I guess the marketing info is wrong about being lowered 10mm for USA then

Thanks Loren

So  then the USA version is not 10mm lower as advertised? 

I have read that a USA anniversary edition is 10 mm lower than a regular USA S.

Is that correct?

If so, since it is a M030 suspension, is it the ROW version?

I am trying to figure out if I can put a ROW M030 on and stay in street stock as our rules say you can use any factory or factory optional suspension, but not a ROW version. That being said, if the USA Anniversary edition comes with the ROW version, it would be legal to uses in street stock

that sounds a whole lot better

Hopefully nothing is broken or bent

I regret to inform you all that during my last tour with the PCA, I went off the road at 80 mph, and spun out into a ditch. Due to having over inflated rear tires which actually did not match the front, due to my old rear tires cording, and I needed a quick replacement until my fronts wore out. Anyways, as soon as I got out of the car, I saw that smoke was coming out from under the engine.

You were doing a driving tour with corded overinflated tires?

You then kept doing spirited driving after getting pulled out of a ditch and having noticeable steering shake?

Do you have a death wish?

I would definitely say you have an alignment issue, but it's not just with the wheel alignment.

At 150k mi why wouldn't you sell it as a roller and go with 02+?

 - Because I really like my car and am perfectly satisfied with what it offers.

 

Over the years I've installed the PSE, new top, upgrade headlights, brand new seats (with heat) less than a year ago (off of ebay for $100), permanent wiring for the Valentine, flash hi beams to open garage door, charging / aux input for iPad ... the list goes on.

Is there a DIY For "flash hi beams to open garage"
