And for $287, you can have the tool to do it yourself as many times as you want, plus diagnostic's, and you can sell it on when you leave Porsches. Doesn't really make sense, does it?

Don't have a PC. So it's the Durametric and a PC just to get these brakes bled. I'm glad to pay this and buy a PC laptop & Dura with my next draw from this big job I'm on. I do enough that I need the tool. Too bad it won't do my wife's VW Touareg.

I have the Durametric, but nowhere does it do anything with ABS, only reads codes, so I may have to tow mine to get the ABS bled. I am going to try the pressure bleeder tomorrow. BTW, a BIG thanks to RP17 for loaning me his pressure bleeder!! Thank you Randy!! And if anyone local needs a code read I will spread this good Karma... I'll come over and read it for you and save you $300.

All Durametric software are capable of cycling the ABS/PSM pump during brake bleeding:

Thank you JFP! My version doesn't look anything like yours. I called Durametric tech support and they suggested I download the latest software and that should do it. There isn't any difference in feature set in the software like you suggest. So tonight when I get home I will upgrade!! You guys rock. :dance:

OK, One hurdle complete. I upgraded my software 6.3 and the ABS functions show up!! I also determined I have the 2nd generation cable, whew.. dodged a bullet there. So... my screen looks a bit different that JFP's version 6.1. I'm a bit nervous and will proceed slowly so I won't further screw up. Stay tuned guys!

Please post if you just run the two pumps or the valves or what you do. Still looking at going this route.

JFP - always appreciate your posts... So, in this case...with an older Boxster does the Durametric software treat PSM and plain old Traction Control (TC) in the same manner?
My 2000S has TC, but not PSM as far as I know...
Either way- sounds like it's time for me to get the Durametric.
TIA -
