    LOL I have no idea what was in that container. Porsche only approves the use of the synthetic gearoil specified. If you are really concerned then change to a Shell synthetic or Redline equal.

    You can read a fault code in the instrument cluster with a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) if there is an oil pressure sensor problem (fault code 9121). Here is the troubleshooting tree...

    I'm pretty sure it's Vehicle Speed Sensor. Most Boxsters have a VSS signal running to the radio. It's a Grey and Pink colored wire. Failing this pin 18 at the soft top relay also has the signal going to it. Your nav will have to have a learning feature otherwise you need to determine what the pulses per mile rate is and run an adapter if too far out. I have a nav I want to put in that doesn't have this learning function and I can't find out what the PPM rate for Porsches is, so until I can find out I'm screwed. I don't think so. On a MY05 987 all of that stuff is on the MOST/CAN fiber optic network. I don't see an external speed signal anymore in the schematics.

    000.043.204.71 is transmission oil. It is listed for the Boxster 97 to 06. It is should work fine a Carrera too. I would guess they have just changed vendors so a different part number.

    Sorry, I fixed the title of CoreyNJ's DIY. The Porsche TSB says MY03 and newer. So that would be only cars with the MOST fiber optic systems.
  6. Loren
    Yes, the Cayenne Turbo has different headlight washer trim (18 and 19) and nozzles (16 and 17). You would need all four parts (left and right) to do the upgrade.

    Contributing Members can view the TSBs here.

    Excuse me for asking but... How do you know it's the thermostat? Have you cleaned the front radiators? What is the coolant level in the tank? Have you seen any leaks? I'm not saying it is not the thermostat but that would be my last choice.
  9. Loren
    On a fixed spoiler/non PSM car that setting does nothing. I think that triggers the brake light on the spoiler when PSM/ABS is braking (rather than you). I'm afraid you need the cable harness or re-wire the connector.

    I think you are out of luck. Continental replaced the N1 tires with Continental ContiSportContact 2 (N2) tires 2 or 3 years ago. Any of the Continental N1 tires you find are likely to be near their date code expiration. I think you need to buy set of all four - pick your manufacturer.

    Don's information comes directly for Porsche's (North America) Press department.

    I just posted the a new Vehicle Distribution Memo in the Contributing Members forum. It is dated today (February 7, 2006) and still only shows sat radio for the Cayenne.... sorry.

    Have a look at TSB 9/05 9110 PCM2.1 Navigation Update -- dated Sep 7, 2005

    They have been very responsive to my questions. Try emailing them at info@durametric.com
  15. Loren
    Not if you rip out the interior ;)

    Not a stupid question - all those control boxes look similar. The box under the passenger seat (RHD) is the alarm/central locking control unit. The DME is under the foam/carpet panel near the rear window.

    Look for pad material buildup on that brake rotor. Sometimes in heavy braking pad material will bind to the rotor making it "sticky". Another possibility is that the cooling vents on that rotor are plugged with debris and it heats and/or over heats faster.
  19. Loren
    Sounds like a leak in the freon cooling gas.
  20. Loren
    Looks like two locking bolts (15) and one hex head screw (5). Perhaps an another owner can verify.
  21. Loren
    I answered your question in your first post here. Please do not double post.
  22. Loren
    Yeah, that link is down. I made a PDF of it before it went away. Here it is. If the author requests that I remove this I will - otherwise I'll leave it here. Edit - this is now available here in the DIY section - Loren. Replacing the Coolant Reservoir on a MY99 996

    Just got to the appropriate DIY Article section (Carrera (996) - DIY Mods in this case) and post as you would on the forum. Please add any pics or diagrams. Here are the Guidelines (found at the top of all the DIY Articles sections). Once you have completed the article you (and only you) can edit it at any time. For the article to be approved it will be reviewed by a staff member and "approved" for public access within 24 hours.

    Yes, there is a list of "Porsche approved" transmission oils as well as motor oils in the (Contributor's Only) TSB section.

    After the spark plug, coil and wiring have been checked the OBD II manual suggests:
