And that your car's problem was unique, that they'd never seen it before.

My caterham uses econoseal connectors which are widely available.
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.

Now I'm just a spreadsheet jockey who plays with cars in his spare time, I'm not a professional at this, so I've no idea why Precision and GTOne couldn't figure it out when I solved it quite easily with a multimeter and something from my drawer of assorted lengths of wire :dont know:
Hi guys and gals
I'm looking to swap out my standard wheel with a Momo Mod 07.
There is a lot of info out there, but its all a bit bitty and cant find anything complete, end to end.
systemmeister had a great post, but has some pics missing.
From what I can see, I need to buy the following parts:
1) Momo hub - MOM7004
2) airbag bypass -
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALL-OHMS...rentrq:105c714b1660a9cad9a96c85fff99901|iid:1
3) Horn button
Is there anything else? any other hints or tips. Anyone want to helpl me do it with ahahah?
thanks, thats helped a bit, but possibly also confused me further as it seems a bit different to
http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=96290&sid=ea4f4d3beecba152b28daa6a59fc5fb6
Maybe thats the missing pics..
hmmmmmm.
Cheers H mate. :thumb:
KNW, yes there's lots of information out there with bits and bobs missing.
As long as you buy the parts I did it all becomes apparent. :wink:
I should have done a better step by step guide but like I say you'll get there by combining the various threads.
Buy the copper pad to power the hub, the end connector (for the wire you need to extend and take into the currently empty hole in the main wiring unit) and also a 2.8 ohm resistor to keep the airbag light off.
First two from Porsche, resistor from eBay.
I was dreading it a bit after the problems Dammit had with his horn but the actual physical fitting etc is very simple.
Ping me a message if you get stuck. :thumb:
It's hit and miss if the horn works... just depends on your particualr car.
My Indy have had the car for the last 2 days for springs shocks and to wire the horn/airbag resistor on the Momo Cup wheel I bought.
They have not been able to get the horn working due to the steering column not earthing. Said they've seen nothing like it before - Works with the ignition off, but not when it's on.
Is this the same bunch of clowns that Dammit used ?? :lol:
It works with the ignition off because the steering lock makes a connection between the parts of the steering column. Mine was exactly the same, you just need to add an earth, it was easy.
Alternatively, pay them ££££££s to fit a different column.......
I'm free on Sat 6th if you want to pop over.
knw911 - that's a long drive ! You're welcome to come over but I'd feel bad if we couldn't get it working and you had a wasted journey. Weybridge is not so bad.
I'm used to much longer journeys than that, and am often heading over that way.
I don't want to inconvenience you though. How long do you think the job would take?
Hi KNW,
I popped along to my local graphics place, A to Z stickers on Westgate Road, Newcastle. Any decent graphics place should have the various Porsche fonts though.
3mm high by 35mm long.
Get a couple as they're a bit fiddly to get spot on. :wink:
Good luck at the weekend chaps. That's a nice offer by SJ. :thumb:
Update -
So I have the wheel.
The hub is due to arrive this week.
The Porsche horn connector is due today, as is the pin 71.
The 2.7 ohm resistor arrived, but they sent the wrong one, a 4.7 arrived. So have ordered the right one.
My hope is it will all arrive in time, and if it does, then the offer of help on SAT AM would be most welcomed.
OH, and I've also ordered a bunch of the RED Porsche logo's that Marky911 used. I've got more than I needed as they had a min order qty, so will offer them up on here once I've got my hands on them,
I now have a working horn
Sundayjumper manged to sort mine in under an hour, with nothing more than a voltage tester and a bit of wire.
Makes excellent coffee too... and good chat about cars and life.
Massive thanks, Steve!
It involved a lot of voltage meter work and short piece of wire. Beyond that I'm not sure as another 911 owner was there and we were chatting when he found the fix.
Maybe Steve would like to patent his fix and sell it to our Indy's!
Nope, just earthed the column properly.
Stotty's car presented exactly the same problem that mine did: the horn would work with the ignition off, but not when on. Provide a decent earth to the column and it's fine.
Now I'm just a spreadsheet jockey who plays with cars in his spare time, I'm not a professional at this, so I've no idea why Precision and GTOne couldn't figure it out when I solved it quite easily with a multimeter and something from my drawer of assorted lengths of wire :dont know:
I'll do Keith's one next, as soon as his bits turn up.
From memory the issue I had was that actually attaching a wire to the inner column would have been required, as there was no continuity through any of the bearings, and the inner part of the column was completely isolated.
Yep, that's what they told you. And that your car's problem was unique, that they'd never seen it before.
It's also exactly what GTOne told Stotty about his. And yet it's not true. I proved this yesterday by fixing Stotty's car in my front yard while having a coffee and a chat at the same time.
Experts are not always experts....
Does anyone know if you can purchase porsche loom plugs / connectors to make up the mini looms for the conversion rather than 'harvesting'? My caterham uses econoseal connectors which are widely available.
Do the connector plugs have part numbers on them? I sourced a brake pad wear sensor plug for my Skoda this way and cheaply too!
Ian
Well, I can understand why you want to keep your method under-wraps, but it'd be nice to be able to understand what you did that the auto-electricians at two respected Indy's either didn't see, or wouldn't do.
It was nice meeting you yesterday, and satisfying to have another wheel successfully fitted. That makes it three out of three - better than Meatloaf managed !
