I've got a "Drive off assist" failure and the PTM module isn't reachable on the CAN bus. Looking for where this module is located om the chassis and how to get to it in a 2010 911 turbo cab.

Wednesday 05/13/2026 | 2010 | 911 Carrera S | Engine
For as long as I've had this car (nearly 9 years) there has been a sound most easily heard at idle that sounds like a frog croaking. I recently installed a new AC compressor and the sound changed. The local Porsche dealer did an evac and charge and the sound is still present but more like it was prior to the compressor change. I never was concerned with the sound, I've put 34,000 miles on the car and not had a problem. Is this a 'normal' 997.2 sound? The tech at the dealer used a stethos ...

I got the new parts installed, flushed the system with nitrogen, pulled a vacuum and charged the system. I only saw temps in the mid 50s at th ...

Sunday 02/22/2026 | 2010 | Boxster | Interior/Upholstery
Does anyone know how to remove the horizontal trim strips (in Volcano Grey) so that I can paint them? They run the length of the dash from door to door. There are a total of 6: two short ones (2-3") on either side of the steering wheel, one above the radio, one that functions as the cupholder door, and two short ones flanking it. I'm pretty sure the cupholder door is straightforward but the total of 5 other ones look like they have tabs, and a male plugs. i don't want to break them ($30 ...

Your advice/help, please. ...
