You will need to call a Porsche parts dept for a price of the sticker (it wont be £123). Again for any original Porsche parts you will find a Porsche Centre will be cheapest. Of course, your money, your choice. Good luck sorting. We're all here to save money, so I'm happy to give that sensor a punt, just wish I could clear the code first, see if that works before throwing money away, seems odd that the sensor suddenly packed up.

iborguk Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I would suggest you start with investigating the code first before buying parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Also bear in mind that for a import part there will be additional delivery fees and possibly customs charges. Again start with getting the car to someone who can read the code first or invest in a half-decent code reader. And the thread is back where it started...

Agreed, code reader it is first, I'm sure it will pay for itself in no time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is to disconnect the battery for 20-30mins to give enough time for the memory to clear. Done that many times in the past with good success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car. Money, choice. Of course. Personally think it’s not always cheapest being best value Also I don’t think that a dash warning of something like that is the kind of thing that will latch a DTC in the control module clearing codes as a 1st attempt is usually the kind of thing you do for emissions or check engine lights You don’t “clear” a dashboard warning as such. But a code reader may tell you code 12345 - where that equals check this contact for this voltage and if x then check that switch etc as to the part - 2nd hand part from the US , with postage and potential import duty. Seems like a gamble to me at 130 quid , what happens if it doesn’t work ? Perhaps some of the uk specialist breakers have one. Worth a call to the usual suspects (9apart , Douglas valley ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 6 hours ago, Paul P said: "Pedantic as a service" the Foxwell does some coding as well - haven't got one so can't comment on what works - but I know it can do it - because I have had to unpick some "self inflicted outage" done by someone with a one who was playing with the coding of the front control unit in a 997.2. I also know it can't do all the coding required for Cruise on a 987 ( neither can Durametric - they both appear to lack "cluster" coding capabilities. ) OK, '.... to code reliably.'
