That’s awesome. Everything is coming along. I’m really enjoying the videos!!!!Let me know if you ever need an extra hand. I have met you before at the local Porsche events.

have you tried driving car a few 100 ft to see if the TC / PASM clears?

Did you check your gateway coding or any errors in the gateway module (its the router to all the other modules on the CAN bus)

A while back I had a PASM shock fail, and it behaved in a similar way Might check the shock connections.

You are right. Often driving the car for 15 minutes or more will erase some of the messages.

Yes, I tried that. Actually drove it around the block but there was no change. I also checked the shock connections to make sure they were good. Unfortunately neither of those helped

Thanks I appreciate the offer. Yes, I know who you are. You have the 997.1 in white. I always thought if only my red car was as clean as yours lol

Good show Pedro
Let's see what happens when we do a VAL and Vehicle Handover. Also, if your car had a front lift the water most likely would have damaged it. They fail without water/flooding anyway
And it looks like your tpms is working fine.
I'll bring my 55amp power source, the service manual says to have one connected when using Piwis
Seems like there was less water damage than imagined-the damp rid is a good idea, and since the AC works, a good drive with it on then parking in the sun with everything open is a good idea to prevent mold

IMO having dealt with mildew from a sun roof left open if he ever got into a position where he wanted to sell this RS showing your viewers you systematically removed the carpet sooner than later will pay for itself 10x…

Enjoying the videos, can't wait to see the RS ripping around flawlessly!

It sure seems like having a full PIWIS (clone) instead of just the Durametric would make your life much easier...

Might check out this thread on how to set one up at a very modest cost. It's definitely a bit clunky to use, not very intuitive, and particular about the order in which you do things like attach the cables, start the app, etc., but it definitely has a level of functionality and fault finding beyond what I've been able to do with the Durametric.

-----
Edit: Never mind! I watched ahead and saw the simple resolution to your PASM issue...

Congrats! What a score!

I have some more I can do. Like the oil change, which i already have done and just needs editing. The carpet coming out is another one. Anything else anyone wants to see?

Amazing work with the project, Pedro. So nice to see the car saved and come to life with some TLC. The car couldn't have gone to a better home!

Looking forward to seeing you soon and meeting the car. I have been craving some of your coffee since AA, and CooRS of course.
