    Can you connect to other control modules? Tab over to alarm system (or cluster, etc.) then hit >>

    I believe egas started in the Boxster in MY00.

    If that is a fault code 25 -- No pin 86 S recognized then it would be fuse E1. That would be the fifth row down from the top - first fuse on the left (7.5A). If the fuse is good (when tested with a meter) then you may have a short to ground. If that is the case then look for water under the driver's seat.

    Changing rotors

    Loren replied to RJFabCab's topic in 996 GT3

    1. On a standard 996 they are 10 mm hex. On a GT3 I think they are the same just longer. 2. Yes, you can remove the bracket. I usually just hang the caliper off the spring with a wire or twine so there is no pressure on the brake lines/fittings. 3. Ok, maybe you should write up a DIY for GT3 when you are done. ;) 4. If that is attached to the caliper wouldn't come off with the caliper? 5. You take regular screw driver and rotate the wheel - like you are prying it in the direction it will rotate. One direction tightens the parking brake shoes and the other way loosens them. Item 2 in the pic is the shoe adjustor. You are turning it to force the screw (lower part of 2) and the bushing (3) either to push the shoes out or bring them in. 6. Correct, if you can get the rotor off without loosening the brake shoes that is fine. Just realize you still may have to loosen the shoes a little to get the new rotor on.

    Yes, distilled water would be best.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ew=findpost&p=5 If you are adding to existing coolant I would use only Porsche coolant. A mix of 50-50 with water should be fine. Fill the line on the coolant tank - with the engine cold.

    Changing rotors

    Loren replied to RJFabCab's topic in 996 GT3

    1. No there is no spec in the manual. When the wheel is in place that screw is not going anywhere. 2. There is no torque spec specified in the manual - as I recall we guessed based on the size of the bolt - so 7.5 to 10 ft/lbs. 3. Porsche does not suggest any thread locking. It is likely too hot for it there anyway. Porsche does recommend new caliper bolts. The GT3 bolts are 5 mm longer than a 996 and should be red (not silver). 4. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=16992 Same type of an adjuster as on typical drum brakes. Rotate one direction and the brake pads are forced closer to the drums - rotate the other and they are pulled away from the drums.

    Changing rotors

    Loren replied to RJFabCab's topic in 996 GT3

    Pretty much the same for a GT3 -- be careful the rotors are directional. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=16992
  10. Loren
    Are they the proper offset? or did you put Carrera wheels on a Boxster? ;)
  11. Loren
    Pull the A-pillar trim 7 inwards along the roof frame and windscreen frame.

    It is okay to have different opinions on a subject. They are just that - "opinions". Lee has had his question answered and he will make the final decision on what he does - just as any of us do. I don't see any point in further comments so I am closing this topic.

    All the OEM filters I've seen were made by Mann. BMC does the filters for all the Cup cars and other Porsche race cars.

    GT3 ECU Pins

    Loren replied to Jean-Marc's topic in 996 GT3

    Is this what you need?
  17. Loren
    It could also be a loose swaybar mount.
  18. Loren
    I think you need to get your eyes checked. ;) You do know that you click on the image to make it larger?

    The Aerokit II install TSB shows a different number for the front spoiler(s): 996.505.980.02.G2X Boxster 996.505.980.03.G2X Boxster S My guess is that the Boxster S spoiler has the opening for the 3rd radiator.

    Did you look at your other request for the fuse panel listing? I posted a good copy here. Have your read the other posts about removing the front bumper to get to the horns? They can always be tested with a 12VDC power source. I hate to sound terse but this has all been covered here many many times.
  21. Loren
    Had an interesting discussion with a Porsche parts contact yesterday... He said that the 996.606.124.00 is still available for the 996 - but not for the Boxster. He said the Boxster must use the newer 996.606.125.01 and have the DME re-programmed. He did not know why. I talk to a couple of dealership techs here and see if they know why or what the difference is.
  22. Loren
    For MY99 Boxster

    9.4:1 for all M97/70 engines (regardless of year)

    The CDC-3 is plugged into the C2 and C3 connector on the TrafficPro right (per the TSB)?
  25. Loren
    Have you checked the cables at the CDC-3? As I recall there should be 2 RCA jack cables and 1 DIN cable. Perhaps they got unplugged when someone was pulling on the radio? These cables are usually stuffed under or behind the CDC-3.
