    Replacing Reverse Lights/Back-Up Lights Switch thanks to member dphil66 :clapping:
  2. Loren
    Have someone else check to see if your reverse lights are coming on when reverse is selected. If the reverse signal is not triggering then the tilt function will not activate either.
  3. Loren
    Well, there is some history in the DME. You will need to find a shop or dealer with a PIWIS tester though. They can tell you stage 1 over revs (controlled by the engine rev limiter) and stage 2 over revs (not controlled and considered harmful to the engine).

    If the wipers work then the fuse is fine. Does the intermittent control work on your wipers? Does your car have a rain sensor? Both require relays to work.

    It's not really 0-50 mm. It is more like "up to 50 mm". With the adjusters all the way adjusted to the highest point you are still lower than stock. I think something around 20 mm lower. Gert might know exactly - but that is what I recall.

    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.
  14. Loren
    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).
  15. Loren
    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):

    986 505 411 04 G2X Rear bumper lining (unpainted) -- retail (US) $489.36 (as of Dec 2005)

    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.
  22. Loren
    I sent you a PM...
  23. 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.
  24. Loren
    Harmon or BOSE sound package?
  25. Loren
    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.
