987 Service Question

Is a trip to the dealer or my indy required?
Thanks

Kerry, who is your indy shop? Perfect Power? I'd be surprised if Sol did not have the proper equipment yet. It needs to be reset with the proper software/hardware. I know my indy (Fischer Motors in Barrington) just got the stuff necessary to reset the 987/997 last Fall. Pretty expensive (to rent and own).

Your indy did not reset. You either need to go back, or find an indy who has it (like Fischer). Or go to the dealership, but I don't recomment that due to the $$$.

Fischer did my 20K inspection last August, and I was impressed by Rick and his shop. My "countdown" did not start until last month. I'll give him a call and see what he recommends.

That explains it then! Rick and his father (Peter) run a great business. He maintains my 2006 Boxster S, 1997 993 Turbo (911) and wife's Mercedes E320.

Rick did not have the software/hardware till about Sept./Oct. Call him, he will reset for you in a matter of minutes.

Tell him Bill with the Arena Red 993 Turbo says hello!

Rick and his father are very-very accomplished Porsche racers. Stunning.
