  1. On both C4, C4S and MY02 and newer the fuel filter attaches to that piece.
  2. Okay now I am confused... you want a "Carrera" chrome logo for a Boxster? Or, you want a "Boxster" logo in chrome? Or?
  3. I don't recall one in chrome. You might try Performance Products.
  4. I am not sure that plastic to plastic needs any seal -- and the parts list does not show one either.
  5. I don't think there is anything special here - just unbolt and bolt in the new one. I don't think you will need to remove the lower ball-joint. The torque settings are below. And... you will probably want ot have the alignment checked too.
  6. You are correct there is no seal on the level switch. That is the correct (current) part number for an RoW MY99.
  7. I notice that a lot of the dismantlers charge a core charge also. What the heck are they doing with the engine cores? Reusing them? Yup, usually a good builder reuses parts that are within spec. So when the dismantler sells your old engine to a rebuilding shop they are expecting to reuse most of it.
  8. Can you tell us the item number please...
  9. Those Boxster type grills are not on 996 bumpers - and I doubt they would fit. I doubt they do anything anyway - just for looks.
  10. 996.612.070.04 wiring harness may work. That harness is for the Porsche Cabriolet "Carrera" spoiler. If your third party spoiler is a clone then it should work.
  11. 996.100.996.02 Engine -- (are you sitting down) MSRP $25940.43 An exchange engine is less than half that price - so if you could find an exchange it would help you out a lot.
  12. If it doesn't leak now - it will eventually. Porsche was supposed to change them on a next visit basis several years ago. A new cap is under $20.
  13. I show it as "out of stock" with no price at Amazon. The $183 is a 3rd party backup "pass through" Amazon. I think I would wait a few days and see if amazon gets it back in stock.
  14. From what you describe - yes, it could be the switch. Sometimes if you wiggle the switch some the light will come on and off - if so, then it is the switch.
  15. Loren: The viscosity issue is clear. But what is the GL desigation? Is this a new (revised) API SERVICE classification? (I know G signifies gas engines). I can not find this (GL) in the retail stores here. The widely available Mobil 1 is API SM,SL/CF. This is the one I have used and the service adviser at my dealer did not raise any concern. I would apperiate your response. :renntech: Porsche dropped that requirement in the April 2007 list - so I have edited the list.
  16. According to the troubleshooting in the OBD II manual you are starting at the end. Here is the troubleshooting they suggest: Secondary air injection pump is not triggered. Secondary air injection pump does not work. Air supply lines restricted. Electric change-over valve does not work. Air change-over valve does not work. Vacuum system leaks. Here is what they suggest recommend for solutions: - Wiring harness or fuse - Relay - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve
  17. Exchange or non-exchange? 6 Speed or Tip?
  18. There is a different wire harness for the wing electrics for a fixed wing car - and it varies by exact model. You need to tell us the model and model year of your car. As well, what fixed wing? Porsche or 3rd party?
  19. http://www.giacusa.com/dealers.php
  20. You shouldn't be charged more than 1 hour 10 minutes labor (according to the TSB).
  21. It means you have a throttle cable and a idle control valve. There is nothing wrong with that - it is just a different design. Some folks think that that throttle cable cars have faster throttle response than egas cars.
  22. Try try our search feature - this has been covered here before (more than 20 times). Thanks!
  23. Model and Model Year of your car?
  24. My radio hasn't yet been disabled but I know it will be sooner or later. I'm the 3rd owner of this '03 Boxster S & the radio code has been long lost. I've tried the above technique & nothing happens other then "MUTE" being constantly displayed. Is there another way to get the above information? I know the radio is a CDR23 with separate amp (fiber optic?) up front. But I don't know which amp it is. (4 or 6-channel -- unless they're all 6-channel if it's FO.) A CDR-23 does not need a code. The code is registered in the DME - so as long as the same radio stays with the same car no action is needed. If the radio were to be replaced then the DME would need to be updated to the new radio.
