Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

have a tiptronic with indicator light flashing from whatever gear its in to 4. Only does this if engine is running. fluid is good, no codes/cel's, gear switch will make proper light display even when disconnected from shift cable and moved by hand. car acts normal as long as in automatic, no manual mode available. Am stumped and looking for advice on where to go next! Please bring all suggestions- thanks in advance!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

not a porsche specific tool. an AX 6000- which has pulled some codes before, but nothing on this one. have begun reading up on one of the porsche specific. is the durametric capable of pulling transmission code? Also, it seems like the durametric is a cable and a download for free program?? any idea where best to buy from is for that tool reader?? I see things at 290 bucks, and then advertised for 100 bucks , and all say durametric..

POST 4Original post

You can either buy the official Durametric cable (new or used) or buy a chinese imitation. I bought the original one, nice plastic case, nice user's manual... I recommend! Try to find a used one, maybe?

wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if can find good used one. Not so up on wanting to send china any more $$ than is already going there! where did you get yours from?

POST 6Original post

I bought mine from Durametric. You can contact them and ask if they have a used one (sometimes people send theirs back). Or you can post an ad in the dedicated section, maybe someone has to sell?

POST 7Original post

The Durametric will give you the transmission codes.

POST 9Original post
