Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suspected cause

As far as aftermarket parts go, this is probably a Bosch part, but I doubt German and Swedish will stock it.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

As far as tuning is concerned, there is only one site: www.993tt.com I wouldn't tune it though, as it will probably put future owners off. Porsche buyers like originality. As far as aftermarket parts go, this is probably a Bosch part, but I doubt German and Swedish will stock it. The best people to speak to are Douglas Valley Porsche Disamntlers (01257 472866) who may have a scond hand DME for sale. Typically, 'salvage' parts are a third of OEM price or less (depends on demand, supply etc). Rgds Domster

POST 2Original post

The garage that looks after my cars is familiar with T4s, as the owner has dealt with a number of them including tuning. I have to point out that he is a friend of mine, but is nevertheless well known in the Porsche community. His garage has been the one carrying out the engine rebuild articles a number of recent 911 & Porsche World articles. James O'Connor, JM Autos 01992 788 911.

POST 4Original post

The DME is a well known fault, Its a relay type thing that plugs in under the bonnet where the indicator relays go etc. Cost £25 If you have a 993 its an idea to carry a spare as they can leave you stranded. G

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hope you can help chaps. A colleague of mine has a 1996 993 Turbo 4, his engine warning light came on & he has been told he needs the DME replaced. I think this might be part of the engine management system. It is about £1500 to replace. I was wondering if he could get an upgraded part to give more power. Anyone know about this/know where he could get a cheaper replacement ? Thanks.
