    So taking the car to them is a must. If I carry them the car, and the box turns out to be bad, do I have to have it reprogramed again(the key) for the new box? Basically yes. You must have a working alarm/door lock/drive block control to start the car - unless you decide to bypass that whole system. Is that an option and still keep the porsche engine/ engine ecu? Please excuse all my questions, this car has got to have the most PITA alarm/starting stuff EVER! Still wondering about this? I do not see anything on the DME 5.2.2 schematic that would keep it from running without the alarm box.

    Try 9019 or 9017

    Try 2290 or 2288 OK I tried these 2 codes & I tried 2292 & 2286 to no avail.... Any other codes I should try ? Also any way to get around the 1 hour wait period? Should I just call Becker? Or wont they help? Thanks again for the great resource! :renntech: You need to read this... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST I did, kind sir. So you are saying that I'm in the 5% ? Or should I continue to search #s in the 2 digit ranges? How far either side of your suggested # should I go? Yes, if the two numbers I gave you don't work then you can try 2 digit increments/decrements until you get tired and call a dealer - or get lucky.

    If it was a loud banging noise then chances are it is a broken intermediate shaft (sorry).

    :welcome: They can't possibly know what needs to be replaced without putting a tester on the car (Durametric, PST2, or PIWIS tester). There is a TSB for seat belt buckle problems - but did they look up your VIN to see if it had already been done to your car? My guess is... not likely - they just want your money. Thanks for the quick reply Loren. I figured as much. I don't think it was ever done. Bought my Boxter from a buddy, the original owner last year. Already had to replace the top motor. Guess I'll have to get a tester plugged in to see what the codes come up. Having read some earlier threads, I was trying to look up the TSB on the NHTSA docket. Couldn't find it. Could it be it was not covering the 98 986? It is available here to view by our Contributing Members. It is TSB 1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On: Fault Codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 -- Dated Jul 21, 2004

    In a 3.4 liter there is little difference between the non-egas and egas versions. Throttle body is the big one and of course they get a different DME program.

    Try 3321 or 3319

    I just helped someone with a 2001 Boxster a few months ago. It worked fine - then she upgraded to a Carrera cluster and it still works.

    GT3 PCM2 Install

    Loren replied to lafleur's topic in 996 GT3

    That will depend on the options on your car. Did you get the install instructions TSB from the dealer?

    From the Technik Book for 997 S brakes: "Due to its increased performance, the 911 Carrera S uses a brake system with extra power boosting. The system is based on the brake system of the 911 Turbo (996). The system includes reinforced 4-piston monobloc fixed calipers on the front and rear axle. The calipers are painted red to distinguish them from the calipers on the 911 Carrera model. The internally ventilated and cross drilled brake discs have also been enlarged, to 330 mm x 34 mm (diameter x width) on the front axle and 330 mm x 28 mm on the rear axle. The use of larger brake pads in comparison with the 911 Carrera model increases the effective total brake pad surface by approx. 24% on the front axle and 30% on the rear axle, which extends the service life of the brake pads. Combined with improved brake cooling, the brake system of the 911 Carrera S provides excellent stability and consistent short stopping distances time after time without any noticeable brake fade."

    How to attach files or images
  18. Loren
    Thanks for help. Which seat rails to use with GT3 seats? Do you know the inner dimensions of the GT3 seat? How much more space should i expect? Brey-Krause had a special seat rail kit that lowers GT3 seats (not stock seats).
  19. Loren
    Did you get the PCM serial number off some paperwork or directly off the PCM? Sometimes a unit gets swapped out under warranty and the dealer forgets to give the owner the new card with the serial number and code. Best thing to do is to remove the PCM and check the serial number on the unit.
  20. Loren
    Certainly have them reset it - but also read the fault code so you know what caused it.
  21. Loren
    Yes, it looks like just the wheel carrier and the brakes. The rear rotors and caliper are different between a C2 and C2S.
  22. Loren
    That is the correct part number.
