    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.
  2. Loren
    Try Performance Products or Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost). :welcome:
  3. Loren
    How to make your sidemarkers flash
  4. Loren
    or a shop (or individual) that has one. Very small. Most folks do not worry about it.
  5. Loren
    TT, Carrera, and Boxster all use the same switch. The switch itself is cheap - some folks choose to spend $200 and upgrade the switch and lock to the newer version (there is a TSB on this for all three models).
  6. Loren
    If you are sure the clutch switch is working then you either have a bad ignition switch or the starter is bad. Usually starter don't just "not work" they sputter or are intermittent. Any other weird electrical problems lately? Bad ignition switches sometimes cause other weird electrical problem.

    I'm not sure on turbos as I have seen many. But, on Carrera's and Boxster it is usually everything except the AC compressor.
  8. Loren
    :thumbup:
  9. Loren
    Have you checked replacing the bulbs in your owners manual? I think you have to take the lens off for that.
  10. Loren
    For a MY 99 the 993.113.245.01 is the correct part. Sometimes one fault can cause another fault.
  11. Loren
    Just when you start to back up or does the rattle continue? Could be a partially plugged line or a bad motor or a leak. Most of the tank and pump are under the left front fender (even on RHD cars I think).
  12. Loren
    Try bypassing the clutch switch if it is not that then you may have a bad ignition switch.
  13. Loren
    Yes, it sounds like a vacuum cleaner to me. It usually runs only about 5 minutes. It is for emissions.
  14. Loren
    You can always get the B&M shifter. It pretty much works and looks the same - except it is blue and the Porsche one is gray.
  15. Loren
    It's not too hard to clean the carbon from the throttle butterfly. It has been covered many times here - try doing a search.
  16. Loren
    Take your car back to the dealer to fix it under warranty. Could be the alternator.
  17. Loren
    Hmm... Porsche's parts list calls out 996.606.124.00 for all years 996TT.
  18. Loren
    or a 19mm O2 sensor socket.
  19. Loren
    Thanks for catching that oversight. Should be all fixed now.
  20. Loren
    There are some tests you can run with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. If want to be sure then you need to find a show with one of those testers.
  21. Loren
    The first year of any new model will always have some needed updates - but it does mean that is a bad year. Any year will need some updates as time goes on - first years just might need a few more. I have a MY99 996 - the first year for the 996. IMHO of course...
  22. Loren
    I think all refurbished engines have part numbers that end in letter (i.e. X, AX, EX, etc.) whereas new just end in a number. Built to MY05 specs -- but likely built in 2005.
  23. Loren
    Where are you located?
  24. Loren
    My cosmoline covered engine pan (original engine). Orient Express's second engine replacement (clean and shiny).
  25. Loren
    996.803.541.00.01C Cover (black) MY99 -- MSRP $1.10 each (as of June 2006)
