  1. 6B4 is Seal Gray Metallic water based paint (as required by US law). 6B5 is Seal Gray Metallic conventional paint - and to my knowledge can only be use for (non-spray) touch-up.
  2. It is always helpful here if you tell us the exact model and year of your car. To my knowledge there is no ATF filter in the PDK. As stated above the PDK transmission get Porsche ATF and the differential get Porsche gear oil.
  3. Likely items 2, 3 and 7 depending on location. (click to enlarge)
  4. You should have the dealer/opc try re-program that module before replacing it. Many times that will cure the issue as well as update to the latest firmware.
  5. Exact model and year of your car please... Boxster 2008 Base, USD$115K Miles You will need a special tool to remove the outer ring on the ignition switch assembly. It is VW tool T10152. (click to enlarge)
  6. You should take the ribbed belt off and run it for a few seconds to see if you can isolate the noise. With the belt off you eliminate the pulleys, alternator, and power steering.
  7. Exact model and year of your car please...
  8. Your duplicate post has been removed. Please post only once. Try 2821
  9. :welcome: In modern OBD II cars fault codes usually tell you more than you need to know to solve most problems. Without the fault codes - everything is just guess and potentially an endless stream of wasted money. Have your fault codes read with either a Porsche diagnostic tool (PIWIS) or Durametric (Porsche specific) software - then report your fault codes back here. We can give you specific factory procedural tests for most all faults.
  10. There is just one program in a DME at one time.
  11. Yes, most likely since most tunes are done for a specific model and emissions standard. The Softronic Tune has an option (I beleive) that allows you to load a modified tune or revert back to stock as you need to.
  12. NO NEED TO SHOUT (all caps indicates you are shouting) Try 8547
  13. I think it is just the opposite - coil packs can (and do) individually go bad. As well the spark plug connectors. 1. Check spark plug connectors. Resistance: approx. 2 k ohms 2. Check ignition coil(s). Resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 15 at 20°C: 0.3 - 0.7 ohms Check the wiring while you are there - it can be damaged by road debris or weathering. Not likely the MAF as that would affect all cylinders and can't really cause a single misfire.
  14. Your photo cut off the top screen label but that looks like the basic screen display. You can find more information in your Owners Manual starting on page 79. "Information about range on remaining fuel, average speed, compass, navigation, tire pressure, or access to main menu."
  15. VW shows the clip part but Porsche does not. The VW part number is: 4A0 867 276 A
  16. N 908 082 01 Oval Head screws 6.0 x 18.5 -- US MSRP $0.35 each (6 per car) 955 505 887 00 Stopper -- US MSRP $9.49 each (2 per car)
