I do prefer the Durametric for 1999 996 evaluations, but for all others I now use my PIWIS.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Help Request: I have a 2002 996 tip. It was sitting for five years before i got it from an estate. It ran great on the way home and for a day. Then went into limp mode. I replace the conductor plate. All the old codes went away, but now there is an error for each solenoid. I have a durametric. I asked a guy at a local independent shop, who said he could reprogram it. Is that what I need, can I reprogram the tiptronic with my durametric?

POST 2Original post

Download the free files for the PIWIS 3, load it onto that old Windows 10 PC you or someone close to you has sitting around gathering dust, order the $40 OBDII interface cable and be able to reprogram it yourself. Search here on Rennlist for ""$75" and "PIWIS" to find plenty of write-ups.

POST 3Original post

I agree, get the PIWIS. A Durametric cannot program a tip. It’s almost worthless for coding a 996. (997, 991, 992 are much better supported) I own an expensive Professional Durametric and my cheap PIWIS clone can do more. I do prefer the Durametric for 1999 996 evaluations, but for all others I now use my PIWIS.

POST 4Original post

The PIWIS3 clone will be helpful to diagnose this though I doubt a TCU reset is going to do much. I assume you put the solenoids back in the same places? They are all different.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
