    Our associate link to Amazon.com is now setup. You can order this manual directly from here (and RennTech.org will get a small percentage of the sale). See our Amazon.com Special Offers section. Or just click on the link below. Thanks! Bentley Porsche Boxster Service Manual

    Thanks but no banner ads here... this site is user/owner supported! If someone can get a discount or negotiate a group purchase feel free to post the information/link here... Loren - banner ads suck big time. I think with Amazon, you can provide a link directly to the Bentley Boxster service manual, and your associates account gets credit for click-throughs and purchases. You could just put the link, unobtrusively, under the Special Offers submenu on the Online Docs Menu pulldown. I don't see this as any different than ordering from Sunset and getting the RennTech parts-at-dealer-cost discount, except it will directly benefit all of us by getting a few $$ back to you for supporting this great site. You probably get in the neighborhood of $2.50 per order (4% of the book cost), so 10 orders would work out to about the same as one contributing member. I think there are probably a lot of us on this site that would prefer for ALL our Amazon purchases to benefit renntech than any other site. Thanks, I'll look into that!

    From your pictures in the Garage it looks lowered to me. If it was lowered with factory parts then the color codes on the springs (front and rear) would tell us what parts were used (US or RoW sport suspension). If an aftermarket spring set (like H&R, etc.) were used then we won't be able to help you.

    Follow the break-in procedure in the owners manual and you will never have trouble with your warranty claims.

    Hmm... I wonder if you had one of early belts/guides? Have a look at TSB 10/99 1379 Damaged Drive Belt (dated 1-20-2000).

    Some of the plug types/sizes vary depending on the year of the car (I mentioned that in the DIY). The best tool is likely an allen socket with a breaker bar. The plugs are only supposed to be torqued to 22 ft/lbs. (30 Nm). Perhaps Tommy Torque checked them last at an OPC? :lol: Are you sure you are turning counterclockwise?

    I think I posted the GT3 Mk1 Club Sport settings in the GT3 section quite a while ago. You might want to do a search there.

    If P1128 (or P1130) (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation - Check exhaust system for leaks. - Check intake air system leaks.

    Porsche publishes a new "Approved Oil" bulletin every year. Contributing Members here can view the current bulletin online here. Joel and Bruce are tremendous resources to the Porsche community but sometimes their information is not current. Mobil 1 5W-50 has been off the "Approved Oils" list for over two years.

    This is for MY05 only (at this point):

    Probably no dealer visit required. The remote alarm system shuts down after a few days. Try to using the key (the old fashioned way) to lock - then unlock the doors. If that does not restore the remote then something else is wrong.
  15. Loren
    I sent you a PM...
  16. Loren
    I doubt it. Like I said it is a poor connection problem - so the cold weather might be more of a factor. You can try resetting it (with a PST2 or PIWIS tester) but I think it will keep coming back on until it is fixed. JMHO.
  17. Loren
    Harmon or BOSE sound package?

    You did not say what year your car is? This is pretty common on MY99 and older (Carrera and Boxster). it did happen on some MY00 cars too. There is a TSB for the seat belt buckle problem (it is available here for viewing by Contributing Members). The problem is that the original seat belt buckles and electrical connectors can corrode over time and cause intermittent signals - this turns on the airbag light. Only a PST2 or PIWIS tester can turn the light off (once the problem is fixed). The buckles and connector pins need to changed to the newer gold plated ones. The TSB is 12 pages of retrofit instructions and the work requires soldering. The TSB time estimate is 2.8 hours. Unless you are familiar with electrical work you might want to leave this to a shop. I think you can get a better quote than $800 - in some cases Porsche AG has split the cost with customers. If you go to an independent shop jut make sure they have a PST2 or PIWIS tester to turn the airbag light off once the problem is fixed.

    996.645.140.02 replaces 996.645.140.01. The parts list says it is okay to use 996.645.140.01 until the stock is gone. But you may want the Tequipment kit 000.044.900.72 which includes cables and mounting hardware (except the fiber optic cable). The fiber optic cable you need will depend on the options already on the car (and whether the car is LHD or RHD). Do you have the BOSE (option 680) or Harman (option 490) sound system? Do you have the telephone option? The full CDC4 installation instructions are here for viewing by Contributing Members. (ps. I deleted your second post as your question is answered here. Please do not double post. Thanks!)

    I would certainly go back and ask them to check the tightness and alignment of the work they did. New suspension components are know to loose and should be re-torqued after the first couple of thousand miles. But this sounds much worse than that so it could be a mis-alignment or one side might have come loose.
  23. Loren
    Which part(s)?
  24. Loren
    Yes. Depending on the age of PSE system it could be part number 996.618.980.01, 996.618.980.02 or 996.618.980.03.

    For MY99 Carrrera: 996 652 101 00 Lighter -- Retail $9.87 (US retail as of Dec 2005)
