    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit – Catalytic converter P1411 Secondary Air Injection System, Bank 2 – Below Limit Probable causes: Secondary air injection pump does not function - fuse, relay, wiring Air supply lines restricted - check lines Electric change-over valve does not function - check valve function Air change-over valve does not function - check valve function Vacuum system leaking - check for vacuum leaks I would check and fix the P1411 first then reset the codes and see if the P0430 comes back or not.

    Sorry, I can not agree that low mileage cars are more prone to IMS failures. I do not see how mileage plays a role - especially low mileage. If the right tolerances occur in any given engine there will be a failure. Some engines fail but many do not fail. I own a low mileage MY99 3.4 liter car and my feelings are - if it happens then it happens. I'll deal with it when it happens. So for my 2 cents - if the car runs well and does not leak oil from the RMS or IMS - I would leave it alone.

    Oil Cooling

    Loren replied to amihyar's topic in 911, 912 Series

    US cars had the J loop cooler in the right front fender. If it is a 75 911 then make sure you have the 11 blade fan. My 76 911S came with the 5 blade fan and the J loop cooler. I replaced the fan with the 11 blade and the turbo cooler in the right front fender. This dropped oil temperatures dramatically - about 20 degrees as I recall.

    Item 17 is called "heat protection" - that is near the rear I think. Can you describe exactly where the piece is?
  6. Loren
    I can tell you for sure the Carrera cluster will - as long as it is the right year. The GT2 cluster will have the boost gauge - and you don't have twin turbos.
  7. Loren
    Allspeed is correct - the engine compartment fan blows air INTO the engine compartment.

    Just put his user name in the Donation Note field and send me a PM and I'll take care of it. Thanks guys!

    I tried 3051 and it told me to wait but then asked for the code again. The second code 3049 didn't work at all. PLEASE read the FAQ.
  10. Loren
    Try 3051 or 3049 If you have not already read this FAQ - please do so... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    No - we do not provide manuals. Send a PM to member Porschelibrarian - he seems to be able to get most manuals.
  12. Loren
    These are all the other underbody pieces - item 1 is the front cover.

    Prices vary - a salvage yard might be able to tell you. Maybe some other folks can chime in with what they paid... You need to make sure you get the Carrera MY02 or newer to work in your 01 Boxster. A Carrera Cabriolet cluster will be already have some programming done (convertible top). Make sure you get a Tiptronic clust if your car is a Tip or 6 speed cluster if your car is a 5 or 6 speed.

    Do a search here on cleaning the ICV (Idle Control Valve) (assuming C2 not C4) and also on cleaning the throttle body.
  15. Loren
    I asked you to look at the codes because they will tell what is going on. That along with other built-in tests give techs an idea what is going on. That is why Porsche put the faults and test measurements in the cars. Anything else (without the diagnostic facts) is frankly just a wild guess. Most people would look at a car with a flat tire and say 'you need a new tire'. A good tech would say 'lets look at the tire, the wheel, and valve - and find out what is the real fault cause'. We try to give educated and analytical answers here - we try NOT to guess. End :soapbox:
  16. Loren
    Could be - the pending codes would say if you have an air leak and the MAF test would say if your MAF is bad.
  17. Loren
    If you really what to diagnose and fix your Porsche buy the Durametric software to run on your laptop. Nothing else even comes close (unless you want to spend $4000 plus on Porsche tool).
  18. Loren
    Yes, you could have pending codes and if your scan tool allows it check to see the MAF voltage. It should be stable at idle and increase with RPM.
  19. Loren
    have you checked for fault codes? You may have an air leak or a bad MAF.
  20. Loren
    Check your fault codes - there is a fault code for throttle position sensor.
  21. Loren
    Not without changing the wheel hubs too. You would need wheel hubs from a GT3 or GT2 for the fronts as the turbo front wheel hubs are 4WD. A better upgrade for your friend would be Carrera 2 (or Boxster S brakes as they are the same) brakes. In those cases it is just bolt on.
  22. Loren
    Item 4? - these are the most common
  23. Loren
    Several folks here have installed Carrera gauges - only one wire to add and a little programming with a PST2 or PIWIS. See the DIY Tutorial here. Here is one we did at a WOCD in 2007.

    Check for fault codes and pending faults. I suspect you have an MAF problem.
