  1. I've known more than a couple MY97 Boxster owners that have to replace one or both O2 sensors every 2-4 years. I can not say that the issue is not the harness - but changing any harness is not an easy task. For some reason the heating element on MY97 cars seems to trigger these faults and I though it was a design/programming issue on the early cars. Just me 2 cents...
  2. is your car an "S"? I seem to recall you had to use an "S" bumper or a Carrera bumper.
  3. Central locking synchronization Fault code 46, 47 These faults are stored in the memory if at least one safe contact does not reach the safe position after two synchronisation actuations towards safe. 1. With PST 2 (drive links), check whether the servo motor reacts with the door closed. If the servo motors react, select "Driver's side locked" and "Passenger's side locked" in the menu item Input signals, and close the doors Vehicle not locked Central locking limit position unlocked not reached Fault code 61 This fault is stored in the following cases: Short circuit to voltage/ground or open circuit in the supply lead to plug II pin 3 Short circuit to voltage/ground or open circuit in the supply lead to plug I pin 5 Short circuit to voltage/ground or open circuit in the supply lead to plug I pin 28 Short circuit to voltage/ground or open circuit in plug I pin 29 Short circuit to voltage/ground or open circuit in plug I pin 30
  4. From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "Can you give me a code for my PCM? These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code, and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."
  5. Bad slave cylinder, bad bleed valve, clogged brake clutch line? The car is likely 20 plus years old.
  6. The car needs to have both the tie rods and the suspension checked for wear or damage.
  7. Fault code 49 is the seatbelt buckle on the passenger side.
  8. Optional Clutch Bleeding This is best done when you are bleeding the left (driver's side) rear wheel as the clutch bleed valve is mounted high above the axle on the transmission. Push the clutch pedal in by hand (very slowly) and use a long piece of wood to hold the pedal down. I wedged the other end (of the wood) between the seat and door frame -- with plenty of soft padding to avoid scratches. A second option is to have a 2nd person sit in the car and keep the clutch pedal FULLY depressed. Open the clutch bleeder valve until clear, bubble free brake fluid emerges (at least 30 seconds according to Porsche). Remove the wood. Then, pump the pedal again very slowly by hand for a further 60 seconds. After pressing the pedal down fully about 10 to 15 times, leave the pedal in its normal position. After allowing a fill time of 90 seconds, check that no more air bubbles appear at the bleeder valve (use a collecting bottle with a transparent hose). Then close the bleeder valve. Wipe off the area and replace the rubber protective cap over the bleed screw. You may notice that the clutch pedal does not return... so carefully pull it up (slowly) to it's normal position. Then depress it (slowly) a few (at least 5) times. In a few cycles the feel should return.
  9. Sorry, I missed your original post. Try 5054
  10. I answered your post - just above your second post.
  11. The loud click I heard sounds like the AC clutch kicking in. Perhaps a little loud but it does not sound like an engine noise.
  12. I answered this already above. Try 9595
