    Can you shoot a picture and post it here - not sure what part you are talking about...
  2. Loren
    There is no TSB on the Oil Separator - even though these have failed on a number of cars (cracked). The oil separators (there are two) are in the crankcase. To get to them you would need to remove the engine sump cover - and then reseal it after the inspection/repair. In the image below they are numbered 9 and 13 (image is 180 degrees rotated from how it is in the car).

    Looks like they gave you the wrong parts. If your car is a MY99 (my parts list is dated 6-28-04 so these should be current): Pre-cat sensor: 993 606 128 01 (the 996 number you have is for MY02 and newer) After-cat sensor (next to muffler sleeve): 993 606 118 01 (the 996 number you have is for MY02 and newer). What were your P-Codes before all this? My experience has generally been that several oxygen sensor codes do NOT mean bad O2 sensors but that the O2 sensors are identifying another problem (like an air leak on the intake side).

    Getting a set of silver ones is rare since they discontinued the part numbers. Black only at most dealers that have used up their silver stock. If my were as damaged as the ones in the pic then I would sand them down and repaint them with Wurth Silver (wheel paint) and then give them 3-6 coats of Wurth Clearcoat (wheel paint).

    If you did not get a P0122 then forget the throttle sensor. Most likely cause for all the oxygen sensors triggering is an intake leak or low fuel pressure. A number of these in the past have been a cracked oil separator allowing (additional) air in. Could still be a MAF, but I would have someone look at the oil separator. Most dealers are aware of this problem...
  6. Loren
    P1123 to 1130 are all oxygen sensors triggering over limits. P0122 is Throttle Position Sensor - Below Lower Limit (there is no P1122 on this car). The Oxygen sensors can not all be bad - they are all just getting bad readings. The key just may be the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS). If it is not functioning then I don't think the DME would not know where the throttle position is so it would not know how to adjust the fuel mixture. The TPS should measure 4.5 to 5 volts across the two pins when the ignition is on. If not it could be bad or the connection between the DME and TPS could be bad. Worst case a bad DME/connection at the DME. I think you solve that P0122 code and clear the codes and see that solves it. That's my take on it... BTW all the Carrera P-Codes are listed here

    If you don't want to buy the kit Porsche sells then I suggest you get a recommendation from a body shop. You are attaching plastic to painted metal so you need the right prep and epoxy.
  8. Loren
    You can also download the 210 manual here by clicking on "Porsche Manuals" at the top of the page and choosing Becker.

    I've pinned this topic after today's experience with an unnamed dealer -- we are now 2 for 2 with dealers suggesting the wrong part number for the cable needed to retrofit the CDC-4 (MOST CD Changer). That last dealer told me they didn't have a list -- then I told him they did and the list is in the MY03 schematics section of the Service Manual (supplement 73 to be exact - as posted above). Sorry for the rant, let the buyer beware and do your homework here first! :soapbox:
  10. Loren
    There have been a number of cases of broken welds in the mufflers. That would be my first guess.
  11. Loren
    Ok, I sent you the instructions (via private email) for the early epoxy type sideskirts. These will need to set up overnight - hold them in position with duct tape or the like until the epoxy drys.
  12. Loren
    I've seen GT3 bumpers on Boxsters but never a Boxster Aerokit bumper on a Carrera. Not that you couldn't - but I think most folks think the GT3 bumper looks better/more aggressive.
  13. Loren
    Yes, and they are different part numbers. The size and shape of the radiator openings (all 3 in the case of the GT3 bumper) and the Boxster aerokit bumper does not have the GT3 lower lip spoiler.
  14. Loren
    As alter_schwede said there are two types of kits. The older kit that used epoxy and the newer kit that uses double sided tape. I have instructions for both. Do you know the part number of your kit?
  15. Loren
    Do you have the double sticky tape type or the epoxy type (older)?
  16. Loren
    1. The Motive should be at about 20 psi. Also, if the tubing on the outlet (bleed nipple) is not tight you might see some air bubbles move back after the valve is closed. When the valve is opened the flow should be one way (out) only. 2. If you follow my clutch bleed instructions then you should not get air trapped in the slave cylinder. Again you need about 20 psi at the motive bleeder. here are my instructions from the DIY:
  17. Loren
    Your car is a MY99 right? There was a TSB# 4/99 6420 Noises at the Windshield and Rear Window (dated 7-13-99) that says to replace: 996 541 903 00 New/Foam rubber cord (6 mm x 6 m, enough for one window) 996 541 531 01 New/Outer seal for windshield The procedure does not require removing the glass just replacing the seal and should take less than 1 hour. Sometimes only the new foam rubber cord is needed.
  18. Loren
    Here are the instructions - do it at your own risk... From the service manual:
  19. Loren
    I would try retraining it first. Press and hold down the button for at least 10 seconds after the windows has fully opened. Then do the same for fully closed. If that does not work then you may need to take the door apart to adjust the door window height - (not for the faint of heart).
  20. Loren
    There are small changes/improvements made every year. Was there something you were specifically interested in?
  21. Loren
    Porsche sells these only in a set. There was a new part number in 2002 and it is now the only one available. 996 628 901 08
  22. Loren
    Here is the info from TSB 17/03 9662 Replacing The Key Remote Control Battery (dated 6-25-2004). This procedure is for the Boxster, Carrera and TT. Porsche battery part number: 999 611 108 00 Battery For Key Remote Tools: Flat Screwdriver (small)
