Based on David Edward's post, I checked position 53 in the fuse box today. My DME relay is apparently the updated #993.615.227.00 (car's build date is 6/97), instead of the 944 part.

My question: are these updated relays still prone to failure, i.e. should I carry a spare?

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Anir,
Absolutely, or a jumper wire at a minimum.
I don't know if there is a difference between the two part numbers or not.

Read my earlier post. This was a problem I encountered this weekend. Thankfully it wasn't on the grid before the race.

Thanks, Greg. Just ordered one from Phil at Suncoast.

 

Purchased the 993.615.227.00 DME relay from Phil Anderson at Suncoast ( panderson@automaxplus.com ) for only $13.26. Shipping was an additional $3.55.

 

Damn, I'm impressed! I thought the $20 at Don McGill was a great deal

 

Get this, 45.00 at Lynch Porsche in Chicago.
Guess where I'm not buying it!
