How do you remove the PCM on a 2004 Porsche 996 turbo

After a complete battery failure, the PCM remains blank when new battery has been fitted - the fuses at the driver's footwell are OK, so I presume that it is the fault of the fuse at the back of the PCM!

SOURCE: The sim card holder won't stay in..

Hi there
I had this problem with my 2004 turbo, I took it to my dealers and they said they it would need a whole new PCM unit as the disk drive was also faulty, happily they replaced it under warranty and didnt charge me a thing.

SOURCE: car remote keys won't open the car

Look in the manual to see how to make the car "learn" the remote's code. Failing that, look for a box with lot of wires under a seat or find where computer that controls that is in your car. Press the learn button on the box, and push the door lock button on the remote a couple times.

SOURCE: Where can i find a manual for the PCM Sat Nav on a Porsche (996)

If you don't have a Porsche dealer near you, check eBay for a Nav manual. Your car should have come with one though. Good luck!

SOURCE: Connected a 12V battery loader on my Porsche 911

The fuse is on the back of the unit. You need a becker radio tool puller to remove the radio. The tools are inserted into the small slots on the sides of the radio. (example tools: http://www.eagleday.com/porscheaudio.html) My first attempt at pulling a radio from a Boxster required about 20 minutes.

You will also need to reset your radio: http://www.a2dvoices.com/realitycheck/porsche

I have Porsche 911 996 Carrera 4 2001 And no simcard is working?

If no sim card is working in the audio unit it is more than likely an audio unit fault but to be 100% sure it needs to go on a Porsche diagnostic machine and read out faults. This is because the audio unit is a module called PCM which controls all the entertainment systems on that vehicle. Also the aerial need to be check but can also be done at the same time

What is the comon fault

The most serious common faults are with the standard 3.4 engine in the early 996 Carrera models (not applicable to Turbo engined vehicles which is a different engine design):

1. The engine cylinder liners develop hairline cracks. (Engine replacement or rebuild required).

2. The intermediate shaft bearings fail in these engines (a well known design fault). Failure requires engine replacement.

3. The rear main seals in the engines fail as exhibited by a slowly worsening oil leak. The seal needs to be replaced when they leak. It's an expensive job.

Problems 1 and 2 are serious have resulted in many engine replacements. Problems 2 and 3 remained when Porsche upgraded to the standard 3.6 engine in the series two 996 Carrera models (problems not applicable to Turbo engines)..

There are a few other issues such as Air Conditioning condensers that clog up with road debris and eventually become porous and fail.

How much oil does porsche 996 take 2004model twin turbo + if iv put 8.5 liters witch i did n it smoked n i drained it all out n added 4 then drove the car to clear the smoke witch it did has it damaged my...

The smoke is obviously a big indicator you have oil in the combustion chamber. On turbo motors it is likely coming from a leaking oil seal in the turbo housing itself. But there is a possibility of internal damage like a piston. Might want to run a compression test to eliminate any internal engine issues first, then focus back on the turbo oil seals.
