Gmoney, thanks for the tip.

 

You should definitely pull both top actuators and check for debris and swap sides with them and see if the code moves. IIRC it is a 27mm, but takes a special socket due to the shape/depth. I will try and shove a regular 27mm deepwell on the actuator to see if it fits, but I don't think it does.

 

I'm gonna look for a tool to swap them over, u think 27mm is the size?

 

I looked around for a box end wrench or socket that would be able to remove the solenoid while the engine is in the car but have not been able to source anything. Has anybody had any eperience with this that could point me in the right direction for a special tool or technique that would work. Also with the durametric log does anything stand out? Sorry for all the questions, I just dont have the knowledge and I am at the mercy of the board.

 

I know one guy who did it with the engine in place : Iceyankee-tsi. But I think he sold his Porsche....May be you should try to contact him to know what tool he used.... See link: http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic...age__hl__vario

 

Thanks, I just registered on that site and messaged him. I appreciate the help.
