991.3 and Speedster Instructions Addendum
Springs on valve assembly must be installed as shown for correct orientation and location to actuators.
Before Starting the Car!!
An exhaust valve adaption must be performed, otherwise there will be faults. Check engine light and reduced power mode will be present. Failure to follow the below instructions will result in a fault.
Piwis 3
-DME
-Drive links, perform activation of exhaust valves for 5-10 seconds. This will allow the DME to move the valves to the full range open and close and will learn the max stopping positions.
-Adaptions: Perform valve adaption. This can only be done once the drive links have been activated previously. If this DOES NOT set, then perform drive link activation again for a longer period, about 3-5 activations per side minimum.
Once completed, check and clear faults.
