The kit does eveything I need though with respect to reading alarm / ECU fault codes, resetting fault codes and monitoring actual values of the motor to fault find, it probably saved me a few hundred quid by helping me find the faulty crank sensor and is 1000x better than a generic code reader

I sold my v2 cable with v6 beta after one use when I found an alternative that did pretty much the same job and wasn't limited
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Knowing that auto diagnostics can be a bit costly these days, I thought I would offer some assistance to local owners.
I'm not sure there are many around that are local or around my area, but if you are feel free to pop in for a cuppa and a free fault code reading and diagnosis of your motor. Just drop me a PM (based in Swindon).
The wife is getting a little tired of hearing about my hobby so it will give me an excuse to help someone else out and have a chat to them instead!
I'm also going to be publilshing my own site soon, it won't interfere with this site at all, it will just be a resource for free technical information etc to help people out. I'm going to post up articles and how to sections on work I have conducted as well as tutorials provided by others. There will also be a lot of documents and information which can be downloaded for free. I'm hoping to have it in place by the new year and I will let you know.
Cheers,
Did you know the Durametric Enthusiast package has a 3-car limit? It records the VINs in the interface, and once 3 numbers are stored it won't connect to another car - just those three.
Thanks, I do have a copy though
If anyone has any useful tutorials or info they would like to contribute though you are more than welcome.
Richard, my kit is not limited
Thanks,
Steve

This might be a useful medium, rather than setting it up yourself: http://www.pcarworkshop.com/index.php/996_%281999_-_2004%29

Hi Richard,
I'm currently running v3 and the older cable.
I sold my v2 cable with v6 beta after one use when I found an alternative that did pretty much the same job and wasn't limited
Cheers,
In that case you will be able to read alarm fault codes, but not reset or see actual values.
Is the cable with the interface in the middle, or is the interface in the OBD2 plug? If it is the original cable with the interface in the middle I have an adapter lead for the 964/968/993 you could have.
If the interface is in the plug, you can buy an adapter lead from these people, who make them for Durametric I believe: http://www.sensolutions.com/products/browse-products/porsche/diagnostic-adaptor-for-porsche/
You also see these adapters on eBay from China, but do not buy one as they are total rubbish and wired up completely incorrectly.
Thanks for the link I may well get one of those
You are correct I can read alarm fault codes but not reset them.
The kit does eveything I need though with respect to reading alarm / ECU fault codes, resetting fault codes and monitoring actual values of the motor to fault find, it probably saved me a few hundred quid by helping me find the faulty crank sensor and is 1000x better than a generic code reader
That along with the motronic technical manual is really superb when looking at how the car is running.
The interface itself is in the plug but thanks for the offer.
Cheers,
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
