  • Porsche Carrera 3.2 – G50 transmission

    Hello, have a 88′ Carrera 3.2 with G50 gearbox, with which I have recently remained lying down. Only 2 gears can be switched, the 3rd and the 4th still the gearbox is not disassembled, so that I is not yet fully aware of the extent of the damage. However, the gearbox has run 252 tsd. Km and I fear bad things. Every serious mechanic has told me so far that there will certainly be nothing to do under 3,000 EURO. Are there used G50 gears? Greetings, Clemens.

  • Problems with alarm system at 87 Cabrio

    For some time now, the alarm system has become sharp at the start of my friend’s 87’s 3,2L convertible. So, when you open the vehicle, everything remains quiet, only when the engine is running does the alarms sound. Also various attempts with the second key, the “alarm key” failed; the alarm system simply cannot be deactivated!!! Unfortunately, even a local Porsche screwdriver was not able to handle the situation… Now I would like to know if and how the possibility existed, d the alarm system is not so problematic if the alarm system does not work, since the vehicle is part of a large collection and idR is not moved in the road anyway, therefore it is not allowed (so the owner’s opinion). I have a schematic also available, would only like to know where the alarm switch and the alarm horn are in the vehicle, according to the plan they belong to ground point 2, so would have to be somewhere at the r driver side are located in the area of the front fender. I would be very happy about helpful and relevant tips and information, also via PN!

  • Porsche 997, Targa or Coupe with sliding roof

    Hello to each other, I would have a question for you and hope for some meaningful answers. I am about to sell my wife’s 987 boxster (I have also set it here with pictures), and to exchange it for a 997. Now I am a bit unwise, my favorite is actually a targa for a long time, because in my opinion, because the car should be used sometimes in bad weather, a good mix of I’m not sure if this is the way to get over with the open drive at the Targa or if I’d rather take a 4S coupé with a sliding roof. From the price either a Targa 4 or a Coupé 4S would be in question. Targa 4S are still quite expensive. To the info: In both cases it will probably run out of a model in front of FL. Of course I would prefer an FL model, but let’s see what the market, also in price soon so gives. My PZ has At the moment no Targa available otherwise I would have already taken my own picture. Furthermore, I am not sure whether the Targa roof is so optimal with regard to the development of noise in cold or heat (snarling noises or similar) or also the heating up in the summer by the large glass surface. Or do you think that a 4S is definitely the better choice, about the engine etc., or even a Targa because it is much rarer? D.H either the more sporty(4S) or the more diverse(Targa)!? I don’t have time to buy it. I have set myself as a period of time for the next 6 months. I will see how I get rid of the boxster or if I give it in payment. Furthermore, I could imagine that the 997 prices will fall a bit soon, as soon the 991 will come out. Questions about questions, would be happy about a few answers/tips. Thank you in advance and greeting from the beautiful Frankenland

  • Purchase advice Porsche 911 997 Turbo Cabrio VFL

    Hello, I would like to introduce myself briefly – I am the Edmund from NRW and in the middle of 40. I would like to treat myself to something and was/am looking for a special car. Porsche stands for quality and reliability, therefore it should be a 997 Turbo. On the search for a 997 Turbo Cabrio I encountered a dealer’s insert and a purchase will possibly be concrete next Saturday. Porsche 997 Turbo Cabrio 2007, 2.Hd, 79tkm, almost 70TE, accident-free (front and both mudguards after The dealer makes TÜV and inspection before delivery new, Remusauspuff installed (original exhaust is included). Question, can one determine a previous performance increase? My thoughts Sport Auspuff and possibly from the previous owner Performance increase by software what I don’t want since the car is to be restored to the original condition. Should I still show the car at the PZ? Although the car has warranty, j However, the dealer would be about 650km away near Lake Constance from me and I can’t go there every time. Is there something I have to pay attention to in any case? Vehicle ran mainly in Switzerland. I could set the link but do not know if it is allowed here. I look forward to your tips and experiences Greetings from NRW – Edmund

  • BT coupling iPhone X with PCM in 991.2

    Good morning together, I would have a question: my iPhone X automatically connects to the PCM when starting the 991.2 via BT; i.e. I can call up my phone contacts via the PCM and also dial them. Since I also use my iPhone as iPot, I was able to play my music via BT until two weeks ago, if I go to the PCM on media. For about two weeks this is no longer possible, under Media only the “Jukebox” is displayed (which is empty) and my iPhone is not recognized under Media. t. Also the direct playback of the audio files from the IPhone for no transfer to the PCM. You can see on the iPhone that the music is played, but the speakers remain silent. Do I still have to set something somewhere? Does anyone have an idea? I can rule out errors on the iPhone, because with my other vehicle the playback works quite normal via BT. Greetings knolfi

  • Too much oil?

    Hello, I was called with my Macan Diesel S (11.2016) to the oil service, at almost 76,000km. Now the friendly person would like to calculate me 8 liters of the precious wet, although according to the operating instructions only 6.4 liters are provided with oil change with filter. The 8 liters are probably only with the dry filling. Has now been calculated to me or there is a plausible explanation for this. I do not want to be petty, but also do not want to pay more than is justified. word from the PZ-Servicemann I’ve been waiting for 1 week. Greetings

  • Exhaust, boxster… not outstanding.

    Hi guys, unfortunately I didn’t find anything suitable and if so, the topic is already super outdated. That’s why I’m new now.I’m thrilled when I sit in the car and give some really gas, no matter if with closed flaps or with manually opened flaps.But yesterday I let my brother drive with the request that he gives some real gas while driving past me. And it was more than disappointing because I would like my car not only to sound sporty in the interior ic h ask you which exhaust you have or a good alternative.I’ll give you a picture of my exhaust, maybe you know it?
