    Calibration is usually necessary after replacement of the fuel tank, fuel level sensor or instrument cluster. This would especially be true if the new cluster came from a C4 and your car is a C2 (or the other way around C2-C4). This requires removing and refilling with exactly12 liters of fuel. Then using a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) to re-calibrate the cluster.
  2. Loren
    Correct - they will not fit. Both the bumper shape and exhaust design changed in MY02 (and newer cars). Perhaps an exhaust specialty shop could make them work with a welding but they are definitely not bolt-on.

    Cold - yes Warm - no. There is a TSB for more of a screeching noise on during warmup (on 987's only). If you are getting this screeching noise then you should take it to your dealer and tell them you have the problem described in TSB 1/06 1726 Screeching Noise From the Engine During Warm-up -- dated Feb 27, 2006.

    There are more than a couple of TSBs for MY99 clutch issues. Your problem sounds like a faulty release arm. There are also TSBs for the pedal return spring and a misaligned clutch pedal.

    I would check all of the drains. Is your car a coupe? If so, here is where they are located.
  8. Loren
    It is a bit more complicated. I'll try to put a DIY together in the next couple of days. You can find the new TT belt replacement here.

    I would crank in a litttle more (negative) camber than RoW sport and a little less than X74 (X74 is 30 mm lower).

    The rattle is from the hydraulic lifters not the timing chains. Porsche's "approved" list includes 0W-40 and 5W-40 all synthetic oils

    Your AC drain tube is likely dislodged. Look for the tube from the condenser under the dash and make sure it is not blocked and draining out under the car.

    Ok, start with the fuses. The fuse panel (on LHD cars) is the left under the dash. Look at fuse C3 (that would the third row down from the top - and the third fuse from the left) it should 15A. Also check B8 (second row down 8th from the left) it should be 15A also. Replace them if they are not clearly good. If the drains for the top storage were ever clogging and the car got water inside then their could be damage to the central locking/alarm unit under the drivers seat (LHD). Feel under the seat to see if it is wet there. In many cases if that has happened then the central locking/alarm controller will need to be replaced (by a dealer because of the alarm system re-coding). Any other electrical issues? Sometimes a bad ignition switch will cause a number strange things. Good luck - hope it's just a fuse.
  14. Loren
    If the other locks are working then the solenoid that locks the handles should be working too -- they all work off the central locking controller. Look down in the cracks and see if anything is jammed in the latch area.

    Sorry folks I have been out sick for few days and have not been able to keep up here as I would like. Now that I am feeling better I will try to get caught up on a few things. The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect August 2006 pricing for both the US and Canada. We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For August 2006 the price lists support - US: 205,376 parts Canada: 205,377 parts Choose your price list from the drop down menu

    Hardly... Porsches approved oils list is over 5 pages long. It is merely a list of oils and specific weights of oils and they have tested and approved. Porsche updated their list about once a year via TSB.

    No. Take it to an Autozone or other parts place have the fault codes read for free. Report back the fault codes and any other symptoms here.

    Have a look at Cayenne TSB 12/05 9153 Satellite Radio Installation Instructions (I No. QV4 QV8) -- dated Sep 19, 2005.

    Clean the MAF again and if that does not fix I think you will need a new MAF.
  22. Loren
    Only the 124 MAF is approved for use with a 996TT.
  23. Loren
    All together as one unit.
  24. Loren
    I don't think it is a problem. Ask a fellow Boxster owner (or dealer) to let you listen to another car. I think you will find they all do this.

    Try Performance Products or Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). :welcome:
