TIPS OF THE
MONTH |
|
Clogged
Catalytic Converters --
An often-overlooked area when diagnosing
poor engine performance, a clogged
catalytic converter can rob your
engine of 30 or more horsepower.
In the past (pre 1990 model years)
cats were made with a core design
that would easily melt. Erratic early
design narrow band oxygen sensors
would also give false information
to engine control computers, causing
too lean or too rich fuel conditions.
With modern steel cats and wide band
oxygen sensors, cat converter meltdowns
are far less frequent and thus unexpected.
A simple backpressure test is all
that is required for instant diagnosis. |
 |
|
|
996,
Turbo, GT3, and Boxster coolant reservoir
tank cracks -- This
problem is borderline epidemic! We
have seen many premature tank failures
in these models. Early tank failure
signs are smell (the smell of antifreeze – most
common) and obvious leaks and coolant
loss. The replacement-updated tanks
have thicker plastic in the weak
areas and a re-design of the supports.

* * You can purchase a new coolant tank by contacting Jake in Parts
at parts@pwr-tech.com |
 |
|
|
Boxster
and 996 convertible tops not going
up or down? -- This
problem may be as simple as a $10
hand brake switch. The hand brake
must be pulled up for the cabriolet
top computer to know that the car
is stopped. A defective hand brake
switch will not tell the computer
that the brake is on. A simple fix
to a simple problem is ordering a
new switch from Powertech Parts.
Just contact Jake in Parts at parts@pwr-tech.com. |

Modern
Porsche Tire Replacement --
With the advent of sophisticated
electronics and computers controlling
our cars now, correct tires are critical
for accurate ABS brake operation,
traction control, and stability management.
Even minor differences in tires from
left to right and front to rear can
affect the computers ability to calculate
what the car is doing, and thus control
the needed changes. Small differences
in tires can also affect suspension
alignment changes and make it difficult
to track straight and true when on
the street or road course. The days
of replacing tires individually or
even in pairs are gone. Replace tires
in sets of four and save yourself
a lot of potential grief.
