    Looks very nice but it is also not cheap.

    Porsche says: "Bedding in the brake pads New brake pads require a bedding-in period of approx. 200 km. Not until then do they achieve their best friction and wear coefficient. During this period, the brakes should be subjected to full stress when traveling at high speed only in emergencies."

    P1502 Throttle Jacking Unit, Spring Test – Above Limit This fault says that your throttle sensor (not MAF) is bad. The throttle body and sensor should be the same - unless he has updated to the new one. In that case you would need to get your DME programmed for the new sensor.

    The fastening parts ont he MY02 and newer are different.

    I sent you a PM.

    Most of the 996 DIY articles are identical or very similar for Boxsters.

    I think they are just bigger and more rectangular - if you are using stock pads they should just press into the slots.

    1. Yes, they should be replaced in pairs. 2. Try Sunset Porsche (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) for factory shocks. Factory shocks are actually very good. 3. Correct for R&R. You do not need a spring compressor for the rear shocks (in most cases). Just make sure you get the bump stop, washers, etc. put back on in the right order.

    The headlight mounting tray do need to be changed to pot MY02 or newer headlights in a MY01 or older car.

    Fault Code 1045 - Selector lever switch Possible causes: - implausible signal Could loose or damaged wiring, a bad selector switch. or even a bad Tiptronic controller. You are going to need to investigate the wiring and switch to be sure.

    45 and 46 are the drivers belt buckle. 1 and 3 are would be a power interruption (like changing the battery) You should perform the actions in TSB 1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On: Fault Codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 -- dated Jul 21, 2004

    Did you look in the TSB section? ;)
  14. Loren
    Nice pics but that is what the Registry is for... ;)

    C2 and C4 are different Bilstein part numbers. Perhaps you should ask him which car they came off of.
  16. Loren
    Assuming the oil pressure dash light (idiot light) did not come then the problem is either sender, wiring or instrument cluster. There is a dual circuit oil pressure system on the car so the dash light is separate from the gauges. Check the sender, and wiring and if they are both ok - then I'm sorry to say you will likely need a new cluster.

    You can buy the door trim and the door pocket lids in an option package or do you just want the door lids?

    Re-learning can take a couple of days of driving. PC based PST2 should be able to run Tiptronics tests. Durametric will only report faults and some actual values.

    :lol: Tom has been around here since I opened the board in 2003. Tom has always been a good resource and is very knowledgeable on Boxsters. With his board, job, and family we are always happy when he can find some "spare" time to post here too.

    All they could do is put the original 5 map program back in. Are you sure it just hasn't gone through the re-learn process? If your shop has a PST2 they can run a few tests.
  21. Loren
    Try 0578 or 0576

    That is the correct canister. 996 201 221 08 replaces 996 201 221 09. It should fit.

    Your fault is in your PCM (Porsche Communication Management). This the NAV unit in your front dash. It has almost nothing to do with the ECU (also known as DME) which is your engine control computer (mounted under the carpet under your rear window). To diagnose anything further on your PCM2 - other than a loose/broken cable -- you will likely need a PST or PIWIS tester.
