I’ve put links to allow downloads of ZIP files of the PET (Porsche Parts Program). But remember, even though it’s zipped, it’s still a huge amount of data – so unless you have a cable modem or similar, you might want to find it on a CD.
I had hoped to upload my PET files but it times out on the server each time. I’ll tinker with the files a while and see if I can find a way to break the folders into smaller pieces and zip them. Sorry about my problems…
After downloading both files you’ll need to unzip them. If you have WinXP it has a built in utility to do this – drill to the files and the window on the left side will ask, “Unzip all files?”
Then you’ll need t find the Setup file,, click it and it’ll install. But FIRST, you’ll need to change your monitor resolution to 1280x1064 – the program will not install or run unless you change the screen resolution. So unless you have a monitor you can leave on that setting, you’ll need to change it each time you use it, then change it back after you’re done.
Also, there a link to a file that shows how to troubleshoot VDO instruments.
And don’t forget – http://www.youroil.net ;-)
Enjoy!

This is the 1st time I’ve tried to upload a Zip file – let me know if it works (I suspect you will) ;-)
