New MAF

[davedeck]

I spoke too soon. The @#*%ing CEL came on while driving to work this morning. I'm beginning to think it's a conspiracy from Porsche to get you to buy parts and service. As far as the $89 MAF, I sent it back since it was missing the wire loop and they sent me a Bosch unit. I was told on the phone they were going to stop carrying the cheaper MAF because of problems.

Don't know yet

If you get the MAF sorted out and you start considering a stereo again you should maybe consider getting the double din conversion (can be found on eBay). That way you can get something with a 7inch touchscreen. I used the kit which moves the climate control unit down into a storage unit, and it's looks great.

The code was P0496 I think. I reset it using a code reader instead of just pulling off the negative battery cable. So far so good. I did replace the stereo with a Kenwood X496; looks and sounds great but horrible controls. You have to pull off the road to change stations! Added Kenwood dash speakers too.

Are you sure that is the code? Doesn't show up in the 5.2 or 7.2 diagnostic manuals I have.

Would you believe P0438? It had something to do with the evap canister. I think the 496 was the stereo.
