How do you think Porsche 911 GT3 engine problem issues?

Apr5

Porsche 911 GT3 This morning, I was shocked by a piece of breaking news entitled “Porsche warns 911 GT3 owners of fault”, the general content is “DETROIT — Porsche is asking owners of its 911 GT3 models to stop driving them because they can develop engine problems and catch fire. The problem affects 785 GT3 cars from the 2014 model year, including 408 in the U.S. Porsche says engines were damaged on two cars in Europe, and both caught fire. The company says there were no crashes or injuries.”

Wish the Porsche 911 GT3 engine problem issue have a fast resolution. It happens that I also have a Porsche 911 and I also had the engine problem several months ago, but as the time suggest, my engine problem is not quality problem.

Time back to one morning of several months ago, when I entered into my car, and turn on the ignition, the check engine light on and keep flashing. I have no idea and called my friend, he suggest me if it is the Engine problem, he prompted me check whether I forgot to close the gas cap, or a component has malfunction. The gas cap is closed, as for which component has malfunction, I have no idea and have to drive it to the garage, and the garage repairman said, there is some trouble codes stored in the engine ECU, he picked out one Porsche diagnostic tool named Porsche PIWIS Tester 2 (it looks like the following picture), and a Panasonic laptop, then he use cable to connect the tester with the laptop and the car, in order to check and display the problem on the laptop. Then he install the software, during the installation he called the dealer for authorization, after the installation finished, he use the PIWIS tester to test, he showed me the trouble code , it is P0197, he said it means “Engine Oil Temperature Sensor Low”, after knowing where the problem is, he fastly and definitely solve the problem with PIWIS tester. The engineer is talkative and he said my problem is just a little case to PIWIS tester, PIWIS tester not only has diagnostic function, but supports offline programming as well as online programming, it not only work with car, but also sports car.

This is my personal experience about Porsche PIWIS Tester II, wish it can help you if you also have the same problem.

SSD or HDD, which better for Xentry DAS with SD connect C4 ?

Mar30

Here is the differences between SSD and HDD for SDconnect c4 with Dell D630.

Price:

SD C4 software with SSD for 118 euro, HDD for 99.99 euro

Speed:

SSD VS Common HDD in terms of running speed (test on our DELL D630 PC)
	4G SSD	4G HDD	1G SSD	1G HDD
boot time	about 1min 30 Secs	about 4 min	about 3 Min 15 Secs	about 5 Min
shutdown time	about 20 Secs	about 50 Secs	about 22 Secs	about 2 min
time to use Xentry test one vehicle module	about 2 min 25 Secs	about 3Min 27 Secs	about 4 Min 28 Secs	abou 5 Min

This is where SSDs shine. An SSD-equipped PC will boot in seconds, certainly under a minute. A hard drive requires time to speed up to

operating specs, and will continue to be slower than an SSD during normal use.

A PC or Mac with an SSD boots faster, launches apps faster, and has faster overall performance.

Witness the higher PCMark benchmark scores on laptops and desktops with SSDs,

plus the much higher scores and transfer times for external SSDs versus HDDs.

Whether it’s for fun, school, or business, the extra speed may be the difference

between finishing on time or failing.

Fragmentation:

Because of their rotary recording surfaces, HDD surfaces work best with larger files

that are laid down in contiguous blocks. That way, the drive head can start

and end its read in one continuous motion. When hard drives start to fill up,

large files can become scattered around the disk platter,

which is otherwise known as fragmentation.

While read/write algorithms have improved to the point that the effect is minimized,

the fact of the matter is that HDDs can become fragmented,

while SSDs don’t care where the data is stored on its chips,

since there’s no physical read head. Thus, SSDs are inherently faster.

Availability:

Hard drives are simply more plentiful. Look at the product lists from Western Digital, Toshiba, Seagate, Samsung, and Hitachi, and you’ll see many more HDD models than SSDs. For PCs and Macs, internal HDDs won’t be going away completely, at least for the next couple of years. You’ll also see many more HDD choices than SSDs from different manufacturers for the same capacities. SSD model lines are growing in number, but HDDs are still in the majority for storage devices in PCs.

Noise:

Even the quietest HDD will emit a bit of noise when it is in use from the drive spinning

or the read arm moving back and forth, particularly if it’s in a system

that’s been banged about or in an all metal system where it’s been shoddily installed.

Faster hard drives will make more noise than slower ones.

SSDs make virtually no noise at all, since they’re non-mechanical.

How to use BMW ENET cable to do BMW F-series coding

Mar24

Received my BMW ENET cable and did some DIY job for F30 already.
This BMW ENET (Ethernet to OBD) Interface Cable is designed to work on BMW F-series alone. Let’s go straight to the point.

You need:
A BMW ENET cable
E-Sys program, datafiles, token and PIN
A PC/laptop running Windows XP system (mine second-hand Panasonic Win xp 64 bit OS)
Just spending a little money and you will get a powerful ENET cable for €11.00 without postage. I recommend get one from OBD Tools which offers good technical support. Usually, after he receives payment, they can have the cable shipped as soon as possible and arrive with you between 3 to 4 days.
I have found some clue on how to solder the cable list as below. Better understanding with the pictures guidance.

The package comes with E-Sys program, datafiles and such which enable me to use directly without downloading. I was offered E-Sys v3.18.4 in combination with the v46.3 datafiles. I have to mention that the datafiles contains more than 10GB memory, so you have to take hours and hours to download it all. And you have no choice but to wait patiently.

Then please refer the pdf guide here E-Sys – MacOSX installation and configuration.pdf to start install the E-Sys. As soon as you start the vehicle, the E-Sys program will automatically saves the CAF files into “C:ESysDataCAF”. Then copy all these files on to the certain folder.
After that, please do as the following steps:
1) Connect the laptop to vehicle and click the connect symbol
2) Select “F20”(not F020 direct) and click connect. Close the popping out message when you see your car VIN, if not, repeat the progress again.
3) Accept following windows message and close the program
4) Switch to coding mode, go to expert mode and click on coding icon on the left vertical pane.
5) Come to the coding program. Click Read button under the VO pane and then FA appears
6) Now Click on Read VCM or Read button under VCM pane. You will find it it will be on your right hand-Center
7) All the ECU’s will display on the main program. Then expand the ECU’s and all most all ECU’s will have a file starting with CAF (With green indicator) right click on the CAF file and select Read coding data, ignore whose who did not contain CAF. But remember do not click all CAF files. Four or five is the maximum.
8) After complete above procedures, go to c:/esydata/CAF. All the .ncd files have been generated on the CAF folder.
9) Copy .ncd files and on your pc or laptop. Run the software program and then start to do F30 coding according to the window instructions.
I have successfully realized these things by using the ENET cable:
–Remove PDC + cam disclaimer
– Mirrors open automatically when closed with comfort access
–Change DVD region code
– Remove disclaimer
– Video in Motion
– Turned the Seatbelt Gong off
– Side View Cameras on at all speeds
– Change DVD region code
– Tire pressure + temperature in TPMS
– Mirrors close by pressing doorknob (comfort access only)
– Disable A.S.S. by default (can still be enabled but starts with setting ‘off’)
– Remember last setting of A.S.S. (works only when not disabled by default)
– Change ringtones
…
I am still working on it and will figure out more functions later. I have to clearly that these are all the tested result on F30. I am not sure how other F-series works.
