    There should be an option list sticker on the underside of the front trunk. Write the numbers down then look them up on the option code lookup tables here. If you don't see option 030 (sport suspension) then you have a stock suspension.
  3. Loren
    The service manual only covers through MY05 (so far) which does not show that option. They just show the 11 screws to take the lid liner out. It shouldn't be that hard to figure out. Do you have a picture you can post?
  4. Loren
    Looks like 1 or 2 screws in the parts list.
  5. Loren
    The only "parts" should be Drei Bond silicone - Type 1209 and loctite 5900 sealer and some of the micro-encapsulated (self-sealing) bolts. Perhaps the o-rings on the sparkplug tubes. I think the muffler on that side needs to come off and you will need a second person to position the cams while you re-attach the cam cover. Porsche shops have cam holder tools but most say they don't use them. I would guess 4 hours or less with the right tools/hoist - so their estimate seems high to me.

    That fuse should be 15A. It is for the control unit for central locking/alarm, power windows, and inside light.
  7. Loren
    And the fuse row and number that blew? Top row is A, second row down is B, etc. Fuses are then numbered left top right starting with 1. Your radio code is usually in with your manuals. If not, PM me with your radio serial number.
  8. Loren
    You hold the switch down for 10 seconds after a full upward movement and then you do the same for a full downward movement.
  9. Loren
    Just dirt and debris could have gotten into the cabin fan, heat exchanger and ducts. I don't see how that could affect the AC compressor.
  10. Loren
    You need to have someone pressure test your cooling system and verify where the leak is coming from. It could be as simple as a leaking coolant tank cap, or a cracked tanked (unfortunately very common), or a leaking hose clamp, or the water pump. Most likely your fuel filter.

    Sorry, Porsche only sells the complete stock shifter mechanism. 996.424.010.05 gearshift bracket - MSRP $157.82 (as of June 2006)
  12. Loren
    D5 (fourth row down from the top - 5th fuse from the left). Should be 15A.
  13. Loren
    But did you try the process?
  14. Loren
    Either you or a shop needs to replace the oil separator. Once it cracks it needs to be replaced.
  15. Loren
    Should be right behind the cool air intake duct for the air cleaner (left side of engine).
  16. Loren
    You would need to change the front fenders and headlights to fit the TT front bumper. Perhaps MAShaw has an aftermarket bumper?

    The Stat-O-Seal (brand) is very simply the a sealing washer. It consists of a synthetic rubber "O" ring mechanically locked to the I.D. of an aluminum washer. When tightened the "O" ring is compressed, forcing the sealing surfaces around the bolt shank. They will form a positive seal over a temperature range of -85° to +450° F. They provide the advantages of an "O" ring type seal without the necessity of machining "O" ring grooves into the part.

    From the TSB: "The headlights of the Boxster / Boxster Shave a ventilation system which uses the incoming air from between the bumper cover and the lower part of the headlight assembly to remove the moisture. The headlights are also vented through plastic pipes located in the electrical connector that extend under the vehicle. Only a short driving time is necessary to clear moisture from the headlights when the ventilation system is in "operation"." "Masking or covering the gap between the headlight and front bumper cover, i.e. by affixing foils, covers or front end covers (bras) available as accessories, can also lead to moisture in the headlights and prevent ventilation from taking place. If installing such accessories, make sure that the gap is not covered. Affixing films and coverings that rest on the headlight lens or seal off the gap between the headlight and the front bumper cover can lead to overheating damage of the headlight lenses. Slight amounts of moisture do not cause permanent damage to the headlight; therefore the headlights are not to be replaced for this reason."

    Yeah, I would likely try some Permatex High Performance Thread Sealant.
  22. Loren
    So, if you clean that off and drive the car again the first place you see oil is that crankcase half bolt? Be very careful if you tighten it as the torque spec is only 10 ft-lbs. -- and that is not very much.
  23. Loren
    Guess one - a pinched hose from the filler. Guess two - a bad tank venting valve.
  24. Loren
    Can you post a picture of the leak area?

    P1119 Oxygen Sensor Heating 2 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit Check resistance of H025 heating. 1. Remove connector of H02S 1/2 ahead of catalytic converter. 2. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pins 1 and 2. Display: 1.8 - 2.5 ohms at 20°C. 3. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pin 1 and H02S housing. Display: infinite ohms Check wiring from DME control module to disconnection point of H025 1/2 for continuity, short to B+ and short to ground. 1. Remove connector of H02S 1 and 2 ahead of catalytic converter. 2. Connect special tool 9616 to wiring harness (DME control module connector). This special harness tool keeps you from shorting the wrong wires on the DME and blowing the DME up. If you don't feel comfortable doing this then please have a shop or dealer do it. Last time I checked DME's were about just over $1000. 3. Connect ohmmeter to special tool 9616, pin 30, and disconnection point of H02S 1/2 ahead of catalytic converter, pin 2. Display: < 1 ohms 4. Connect ohmmeter at sleeve to connector, pin 2, and ground. Display: infinite ohms 5. Remove ignition, injection and oxygen sensor heating relay and bridge terminals 30 and 87. 6. Connect voltmeter at sleeve to connector, pin 2, and ground. Display: 0 (zero) volts Check output stage of DME control module. 1. Remove connectors to oxygen sensors. 2. Start engine and run at high speed for 3 minutes. 3. Connect voltmeter at sleeve to pin 1 (positive) and pin 2. Display: battery voltage
