    How embarrassing. Of course it's Polar Silver (I know the difference...). The paint code is L 92M PT, therefore water based. I assume water based paint is the more current system (environmental reasons). Is this water based paint clear coated? Any advice on taping the windshield before re-install? Thanks. Yes, the water based paint was required in various countries (including the US) a few years ago. So that is what most shops have now. On a 993 there is an upper and lower frame (gasket) that the windshield sits in. Porsche has a sealer adhesive that is used to bond the two to the body. Chances are this needs to be re-done by a good glass shop. Curing time on the adhesive is 3 hours - so you should not plan to drive the car for the almost half of a day. On some 996's Porsche has a rope bead that installers are allowed to use to help get a tight seal and guard against squeaks and rattles. The might help some too - so I would ask the shop about that too. BTW... there is no reason they can't re-use your old windshield as long as it is not damaged.

    Are you sure it is Arctic Silver and not Polar Silver? Do you have the paint code? For MY95 993 Polar Silver (metallic) was available in both conventional (oil based) and water based paint. The paint code will tell which your car is. 92E = Polar Silver (metallic) (conventional paint) 92M = Polar Silver (metallic) (water based paint)

    I have no idea if this will work on the older radios like this. But here goes... Try 4985 or 4983
  4. Loren
    :welcome: Check the fuses - there is one on the main fuse panel B2 (second row from the top - second fuse in from the left. The other fuse is on the back of the radio - and the radio will need to be removed to check/replace that fuse. You will need radio removal keys to remove the radio - most sound shops have these.

    Only difference that I can think of is the diagram layout of the components section since the (emissions) parts sit in different locations on the Boxster.

    Try 7070 or 7068 Read the thread here.... there are other suggestions...

    955.642.204.10 is PCM 2.1 Control Unit -- it has now been replaced with 955.642.204.11 What about the DVD Navigation Drive and rest of the installation hardware?

    Try 7070 or 7068

    Thanks for your observations. Oil on Cyl bank 2 appears to be fresh oil. Checked service records from previous owner. He had replaced the AOS, J tube and the bellows 4K miles ago. Retightened bellows as the screw clamps had worked their way loose. I hope that was it. Anyone else have thoughts on this matter. It should be fairly easy to check the AOS for cracks while the engine is out. If it is cracked it is much easier to replace with the engine out too. I think that was RFM's point. Either way they should clean on the old oil so you can tell if you have any more leaks when you are done.

    Search is your friend here... http://www.durametric.com/

    I think it would help of you include model and year of car. And, US/Canada car or RoW.
  13. Loren
    Try 7752 or 7750
  14. Loren
    There were 6 different PCM versions used on the older Cayenne's. You would need the part number off the new one check the compatibility.
  15. Loren
    I would double check the coil packs and make sure there is not a crack in cyl 1 and 5. Also, double check the connector on the coil packs - these are easy to not get a tight seal. The flywheel sensor is a little more of a remote possibility but you can unplug the sensor and measure the resistance across it.

    P0301 Misfire, Cylinder 1, Damaging to Catalytic Converter P0305 Misfire, Cylinder 5, Damaging to Catalytic Converter P1313 Misfire, Cylinder 1, Emission Relevant P1319 Misfire, Emission Relevant Most likely causes: - Fouled, faulty or incorrect - Contact resistance - Loose contacts Have you changed the spark plugs recently? Correct spark plugs? Check for cracked ignition coils. You should check the continuity of the flywheel sensor.

    955.531.030.00.G2X prime coated handle in satin aluminum -- MSRP US $156.44

    Loren - how much difference is there between the 996 OBD2 (DME 5.2.2) and the later DME 7.2 on an '01 Boxster? Similar enough to still be of value, or significant changes / advances? The basics are there and DME 7.2 has a few more codes. The problem I have with the later DME manuals is that they don't explain the theory/function. Just codes and troubleshooting.
  19. Loren
    I highly suggest anyone interested in how OBD II functions on the Carrera pick up a copy of the 996 OBD II Manual (DME 5.2.2) -- (Sunset Imports has them on sale for $55). There are complete descriptions of function, theory, troubleshooting and Porsche terms (such warm-up cycle, drive cycle, trip, readiness code, etc.). A very valuable reference tool.
  20. Loren
    Do you remember the fault codes from before and now?
  21. Loren
    The RoW M030 makes for a really good handling street car (IMHO). Otherwise, you could go with PSS9 which would be very low and very firm - but they are adjustable. I would still do inspections yearly if you track the car with PSS9's on it.
  22. Loren
    IMHO... 1. No, the chassis is not stiff enough. If you do and track the car it should be inspected at least once a year. 2. That depends on how low you go and what you plan on running over or backing into. ;) It will save scrapes but will not help if the motor takes a direct hit (like a curb). After all it does attach to the motor. 3. A full suspension replacement is usually 4-5 hour job plus an alignment. Here on the West Coast a good shop will charge you about $800-$1000 for all of that. 4. There is not need to change tires/wheels. You should choose the wheel/tire combination for the track or streets you drive on.
  23. Loren
    Model year? Front or rear door handle? Item 7 - cap? Or do you mean INSIDE door handle?
  24. Loren
    If you have a fault code with the Durametric software it goes to their website and gives you latest explanation for the code. Not a great deal of detail - so post the code(s) here and we'll give you a hand.
  25. Loren
    That is correct. MSRP US $77.24 You might want to try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) - I am sure their price is much better.
