  1. Check for fault codes and look for obvious intake or exhaust leaks.
  2. No, just turn the wrench another 90 degrees after you reach the proper torque.
  3. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/experiments/chpt-2/ohmmeter-usage/
  4. Considering a PST2 or PIWIS are $5,000 to $20,000 - yes Durametric is a good choice.
  5. Fault 0421 - Catalytic conversion Possible fault causes: - Oxygen sensors in front of and behind catalytic converter swapped (position in exhaust assembly) - Valve lift error - Aged oxygen sensor behind catalytic converter - Catalytic converter faulty (pre-catalytic conversion rate too low) If an aged oxygen sensor (oxygen sensor signal behind catalytic converter, dynamism) is detected together with this fault: - remedy the fault "Oxygen sensor signal behind catalytic converter, dynamism" first, - Then check if this fault - catalytic conversion - has been entered again. IMPORTANT If the primary catalytic converter is faulty, check the main catalytic converter for damage and also replace it if necessary. What tool are you using to read faults? If is is not a Porsche specific tool (like Durametric or PIWIS) then you may not be getting all the Porsche fault codes.
  6. US owners can always use the US Government recalls site: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls This is the 2017 718 Boxster.

  7. You can use the emergency cable under rear bumper. Wait until then engine and exhaust are cool. Once you get it open you can look for damage, loose screws or worn parts.
  8. The rears are all one size - what I posted is the current listing in PET.
  9. For 2000 996 Carrera 4 Coupe. front & rear repair harnesses: Front: 996-612-957-00 Repair harness kit - US MSRP $119.68 996-612-958-00 Repair harness kit - US MSRP $119.68 Rear: 996-612-953-01 Repair harness kit - US MSRP $119.68 996-612-954-01 Repair harness kit - US MSRP $119.68
  10. I sent you a PM with more info on how it works.
  11. Try 2540 I do not remember all of the console positions in the 964 - you could try moving up or down a position if possible
  12. angusc is correct - your car should have mechanical brake shoes inside the rear discs. These brake shoes have mechanical adjusters and may need adjustment (assuming your cable is not broken.)
  13. This should have been placed in the Forum Comments/Suggestions/Bugs forum. You can create a custom sort and content stream by clicking on Activity --> Create a Custom Stream. Sort order is at the top right of the your Custom Stream. Then just your Custom Stream whenever you visit.
  14. The correct part number for a MY1997 Boxster passenger window (right side) is: 996 542 076 04. About $263 (list price) from your Porsche dealer
