Thanks for starting this thread 911Jetta!!! I've yet to experience this problem, but now that I've read your post, I'm certain I will the very next time I try to start her!!! I'm ordering a couple right now.

The only time I ever needed my spare DME relay was after Hurrican Ike hit Houston. Since my garage at the time wasn't the soundest structure (and had large pecan trees looming over it), I parked the 964 in in a garage downtown.
I pulled the DME relay on the car to protect against theft, especially since I had no idea when I might be able to retrieve it after the storm.
When I went to pick it up, I dropped the friggin' DME relay and watched it ping-pong down the center of four stories of parking garage! Fortunately I had a spare.
So, moral of the story is, always carry a spare DME relay!

993 p/n is newer and hopefully improved and official Porsche replacement for original p/n.
But hate to break it to you, 993 615 227 00 has been superseded to 993 615 227 01
OEM is

FWIW, I have an OEM 993 615 227 00 in there, a spare, and what I believe is the original (944 615 227 00)

That is the correct part, however there is a newer version available --> 993.615.227.01 at least in the States. If you're going to pay P-prices, might as well get the latest if you can.

Frank, the one I bought four years ago is the same 993 part number as yours. I bought mine from my OPC. I didn't know it had been superceded again (thanks Laker
). Mine has been working fine for those four years, so you're good to go IMO.
