    Those are the correct numbers from the 2000 TSB (actually they have a G2X appended to the end of the number signifying that they come unpainted). Porsche later updated the parts (and part numbers) to 986.559.980.01.G2X and 986.559.981.01.G2X. I do not know what changed - or if it was just a vendor change. Bottom line - they should work fine. See TSB 3/00 6315 Installing Cup Aerokit -- dated 7-21-00

    P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating Ahead of TWC, Bank 1 – Above Limit I would clean and check the connector on that sensor first - then reset the CEL and see if it comes back. If it does then replace it.

    I sent you a PM.

    I agree it seems strange that the US government forces car makers to give emission warranties but not safety item warranties. This can certainly be done by some that is used to working on electrical connections and soldering. Some folks have gotten by just replacing the faulting buckle and not doing anything else. Porsche's TSB fix is intended to stop any future issues.

    Have you tried using Scour's VIN Decoder here? Scouser's VIN Decoder

    Correct that is normal for a fixed wing (correctly wired) - even the factory wings do that).

    No the MAF are the same for all 997's (986.606.125.01).
  9. Loren
    Try 6487 or 6489

    I doubt the engines are totally different - and so are the engine mounts.
  11. Loren
    You need to choose Sort by "Subject" not "Model" in the selection box.
  12. Loren
    Can you take a screen shot? I just tried it and got 15 results for "airbag".
  13. Loren
    Boxster's and Carrerra's use the same seats and seatbelt buckles - so either TSB will work. I had no trouble finding it with the search. Did you choose to search by Subject then the word "airbag"? The TSB you want is TSB 1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On: Fault Codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 -- dated Jul 21, 2004.

    Have you tried Carnewal.com?

    The older the car the more brittle the plastic becomes. If your car were a MY99 I would say guaranteed.
  17. Loren
    BMW has a similar product - Gummi Pflege (spelling?). It might be easier to find.
  18. Loren
    I haven't done it but the book says under 1 hour labor and you do have to remove the inner door panel (to get to a clip as I recall).

    Krytox is a dry lubricant and the silicone grease above is "greasy" will not dry. The silicone grease will also pick up dirt and debris. You want something that is Krytox only (no silicone).
  20. Loren
    Yes, the part number is different.
  21. Loren
    Here are the basic specs for the 997 series 911. PCCB are optional. The Boxster and Cayman share the same brakes as do the Boxster S and Cayman S. PCCB is optional on all Boxsters and Caymans.
  22. Loren
    Yes, that is a list for that VIN (as it appears in the system).
  23. Loren
    My information came from the Porsche OBD II 5.2.2 Service Manual (a 1997 Boxster would be DME 5.2.2).
  24. Loren
    You are in the US and it is a US car? If so, just find an Autozone - they will let you read your fault codes for free. Be sure and write them down and report them here.
