  1. The bumpers are the same part number. Did they use the bumper re-enforcement from a TT or C4S? -- it is shorter than a Carrera bumper re-enforcement. I have seen Carrera bumper re-enforcements cut also.
  2. Well, they should top up the fluid to start. Then they should run the full PST2 or PIWIS diagnostics. Check the Tip program version - update it if needed.
  3. :welcome: Most likely a leak and at least one bad seal somewhere. Most AC shops can test and find the leaks pretty quickly. If the system has been open (or leaking for a long time) chances are the dryer will need to be replaced along with the leak fix.
  4. You should read this thread about water in the brake booster (more common on MY99 and older cars). http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=79485
  5. We have added the factory maintenance schedules for the Boxster/Cayman (987, 987c) to the Maintenance Checklists here. You can access the Maintenance Checklists (for all models) from the drop-down menu (Online Docs Menu).
  6. Your dealer (or Sunset Imports) can order the tool for you. See the part number below.
  7. The fix is fully documented in a Porsche TSB. All Contributing Members here can read that TSB (online here).
  8. How many miles on the car? What has the dealer done to the Tip so far? Changed the fluid? Read the diagnostic codes? Any parts replaced? Reprogrammed the Tip controller?
  9. Option Codes Lookup -- now includes Cayenne Gen 2. We have added in the option code lookup tables for the Cayenne Gen 2 (2007 and 2008 models) - all 397 of them. You can lookup option codes on all models from the drop-down menu (Online Docs Menu).
  10. In this case... 30 = unswitched power K76 denotes which is 76 on the left hand margin and K on the top margin schematic location (in this case it is on sheet 8 of the schematics - which is most of what I posted above) 31 = ground M78 denotes which is 78 on the left hand margin and M on the top margin schematic location (in this case it is on sheet 8 of the schematics)
  11. And the color codes on the wires going to the connector are?
  12. Here is one in Santa Monica http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=82492
  13. You can only program your PCM (and any other MOST network components) with a PIWIS tester.
  14. Yes that is the sport design kit pictured. Item 7 - 955.044.800.75 Sill cover -- MSRP $1192.49
  15. Mirror tilt is covered in your Owners Manual and has also been covered here (please do a search). Do a search for daytime running lights also. On a 996 you have to do some wiring and add a relay (on US cars) to add daytime running lights. For 997s it is a programmable software switch.
  16. There are not many things to program on a 996. Door locks - yes. Mirror tilt - no. Mirror tilt is only on cars with memory seats and is programmed through the seat controller. IS the Dension a fiber optic CD changer that is MOST compatible? If not , it will not work with your radio (CDR-23).
  17. Yes, you may need to have the firmware upgraded again. Really - the shop should have thought of that.
  18. Most of the E codes from that time (1984) were Exclusive option codes. I do not know what E44 is but here are some I do know: E0 Wood dash and door panels E03 Leather dash vents E04 Leather instrument knob and switches E07 Leather shifter and handbrake E11 Leather console and tunnel E12 Carbon fiber console E13 Leather power seat switches and frame E15 leather seat belt locks and housing E21 Aero Kit (non turbo models) E22 Aero Kit (turbo models) E70 Leather package E71 Maple Burr Package light E72 Maple Burr Package dark E73 Carbon Package
  19. 99664210502EFR PCM Control Unit (replaced by 996.642.905.04.EFR) 99664212200EFR Computer (replaced by 996.642.122.03.EFR) These are PCM 1 parts and the two parts must work together (by serial number) and will only work in a MY01 or older 986 Boxster or 996 Carrera. The last number is an older amplifier (M680 with digital processing). Unless someone has a broken PCM 1 or want s spares the NAV parts are very outdated. Also, the PCM 1 is pretty hard to retrofit since the wiring is not here on cars that did not have it. You can post it for sale in the For Sale - Parts forum if you like and see if there is interest. The amp and 6 disk CD changer are more popular options. But I doubt either will much more than $100 each... again you are welcome to post them in the For Sale - Parts forum.
