Not sure if this thread helps you. I have an early C2 and only have partial electric so no such problems. https://www.renntech.org/topic/10278-programming-remote-key-to-seat-memory/ Quote Reply #621

Unfortunately none of that worked for me as I did see that thread when I was searching for an answer. it’s not the end of the world though, we can just use the one key as the two memory buttons still work. Appreciate your response though :-) Quote Reply #622

Seem to be quite good quality. Went for the black ones and please they look nice and discreet. Hope they keep my new condensers and rads damage free. Quote Reply #625

Did you get the rads sorted? If not and you need a cheap interim fix, I have some used rads you are welcome to. I recently replaced my rads which were flagged as corroded and leaking at my PPI, but didn't seem to be leaking and are only very slightly corroded, so would be fine as an interim fix.

The same indie also performed a full tiptronic service at the same time last year about 500miles ago and now the transmission keeps slipping at upper rpm and when cold is constantly flashing the D light... 😕 So next job is check the trans fluid level and prepare to change it again no doubt 😭 Quote Reply #627

Decided to remove the rear wheel arch liners as there was quite a layer of dried mud in the areas I could see. Once the liners were off I was very surprised to find a thick layer of dried mud covering the whole area! Wire brushed it all off and was relived to find no rust. Recommend everyone to take a look next time you have your rear wheels off - if nothing else its quite a lot of the countryside you are carrying around. Also removed one of the heat shields covering the coils packs. It was rotten through and only being held in by one bolt... Otherwise, all looking good for when my new bits arrive. Quote Reply #629

Hope you had a good look at the drain exit points (vital on a cab) while you were in there as these also get full of crud and the plastic non flap does not help.

They were both full of debris. They must have been working though as there was not wetting inside the car. But I guess it would only be a matter of time. Agree the flaps that I assume are there to prevent ingress don't seem to do much. Glad I went there! Quote Reply #631

Needed two new condernser rads and a re-gas, pipe was ok. I’d forgotten how loud the front fans are when the A/C is on and they go to high speed! 2002 996.2 C2 Cabrio.

They were shot, when I did mine I had jacked the back up and put them under load and the both leaked green fowl smelling alien blood all over the floor of the garage. Knew then it was time for a change. I did consider semi solids but stuck with OEM as they were in stock just down the road. Quote Reply #639

This was also the first trip out since fitting a Sprint Booster, so interested to see what difference it made. Probably not a valid trip during lockdown, but the roads are so busy this time around, it was evident that others are out enjoying themselves so why not us too. The sun was very low in the sky, which kept my speed in check. Despite everyone else on the road, a most enjoyable trip out and made me realise that I need to get out more. The Sprint Booster worked well, although too sensitive on the race settings for normal roads. Quote Reply #640
