    This is very old and has been posted before - so I will close this thread.

    Oil Temperature is a function of the Oil Temperature/Oil Level Sensor. It is read by the DME (all models that I am aware of). So, theoretically adding an oil temperature gauge should be pretty straight forward. MY03 shown below

    I don't think the Cab sun visors pivot either (perhaps a Cab owner can verify). I think it is a convertible thing - perhaps Porsche thinks they will jam in top? The 996 Coupe (at least my MY99) does pivot. If that is the case I wonder if you could put the Coupe sun visors on a Cab or Boxster?

    Sorry, I have never seen a PSE (only install) produce any HP gain.

    The CEL does go out for several "drive cycles". Give it a couple of days and if it does not go out then get your fault codes read at an Autozone (or other parts store that will read them for free).

    He needs to be careful - in California it is illegal to tint the front or front side windows.
  7. Loren
    Unless there is leather or carbon or wood in the car that is the only black one.

    There really isn't much to the ParkAssistent - just a controller box and the sensors. I would start by checking fuse B10 (second row - first fuse from the right).

    Did you see the Becker after market connector diagram here?
  10. Loren
    You need to have your alarm controller read with the Durametric Software, a PST2, or a PIWIS tester to see what the fault codes are. Where are you located? Perhaps another member with one of these tools will help you out...

    Certainly air could be introduced if the pedal was moved during the tank replacement. But, it is highly unlikely that air has gotten into the ABS system. If you bleed the brakes as normally done I think you should be fine - you likely will want to bleed the clutch also as it is on the same circuit. If you bleed the brakes and the pedal is squishy or soft then it is likely air in the system.

    RFM is correct - my bad I was thinking of the 996 Carrera hoses.
  13. Loren
    When you fit the new hose use new screw-type hose clamps. Those spring clamps are barely good enough for one use and certainly not two.

    The pollen cover is one piece (item 1). 996.572.019.02 The battery cover (item 4) is: 996.572.567.01.01C If you don't have the hold downs then you will also need (2 each): 999.590.045.40 screw plug 999.590.046.40 disc cam

    The controller is under the dash on the drivers side.
  16. Loren
    It depends - if it is a lower hose you might get lucky and just need to remove the liner. If it is an upper hose then you will need to remove the front bumper and likely loosen the radiator mounts to get to the (upper) hose.

    As long as the prescribed service is performed they can not void your warranty. http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=60128

    The brake light switch is on the brake pedal. If the system integrity has been kept intact then you should be fine. The coolant is "Lifetime" coolant per Porsche. Do not mix coolants with the Porsche coolant.

    :welcome: Most dealers don't even hook up a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) when changing the brake fluid. Many good independent shops have a PST2 or PIWIS tester (PIWIS is a newer version). A few of us have spent the several thousand dollars to have one too. Common opinion is that you do not need to do that unless large amounts of air have gotten into the system. I have a PST2 and I do not bleed the ABS every time.

    It's cover quite well in your Owners Manual - have you looked there?

    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Catalytic converter In the case of a catalytic converter fault in the Boxster (2.7 liter and 3.2 liter), only the pre-catalytic converter is to be replaced. P0447 EVAP Canister Shutoff Valve (Output Stage) – Open Circuit Potential causes: – Wiring harness – Shutoff valve – DME control module This one could also be a a loose gas cap or bad o-ring on the gas cap. I would find the leak in the EVAP system and reset the codes. Then see if the cat code comes back.
  22. Loren
    If the mixture is such that it will damage a cat - then the CEL will flash and the car should not be driven.
  23. Loren
    No, not without welding and cutting.
  24. Loren
    There are lots of tips in this thread - please read though it...
