    Nope, you don't use that with the B&M shifter.
  2. Loren
    Just go down the list and check everything on the list - sign and date it. If you don't feel comfortable doing that then get an indie to do it - but you will need to pay them. Keep their receipt with your car records.

    Is this green part easy to identify? Any other peculiarity I need to be aware of? I am doing the instal on my 01 Boxster (5 speed)? Thanks, Gus Yes, it will be the only green part you see (unless you find a very old french fry ;) ) Neither Tool Pants nor I have ever been able to figure out why some cars have it and some don't - and what it used for (other than keeping french frys and the like out of the shifter).

    The only difference in the "Porsche method" is that they leave the cable ends on the cables. They pry the ball joint off the main shifter and detach the reverse cable connector. Either way will work.

    Try 4457 or 4455

    Ok, P0140 makes more sense. Are the connectors/wires good? Are the new sensors the right part?
  7. Loren
    I am confused P0410 is: Secondary Air Injection System - Signal Implausible (Cylinders 1 - 3). That code usually means the secondary air pump is not triggered - not O2 sensors. P1117 and P1121 1. Remove connector of 02 sensor 1/2 after catalytic converter. 2. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pins 1 and 2. Display: 1.8 - 2.5 ohms at 20°C. 3. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pin 1 and 02 sensor housing. Display: infinite ohms

    The Porsche book time for the motor replacement is about 1 hour. The service manual has you remove the spoiler drive then remove and replace the motor - then reinstall the spoiler drive.

    Great pics - but please cut them down to 1024 x 768. We have folks with dial-up here - Thanks!
  11. Loren
    Try 4677 or 4675

    Porsche says (in a TSB)... "If new tires are to be mounted or the tires of one axle are to be replaced, tires of the same make, the same type and with the same specification code must always be used on each of the two axles. If tires are replaced on one axle only, the different tread depth from that on the other axle can cause a noticeable change in the familiar handling. This is especially the case if new tires are mounted on the rear axle. This effect decreases with increasing tire mileage. When replacing a tire on an axle, make sure that the tread depth of the new tire does not differ from that of the other tire by more than 30%. If a tire is damaged and it cannot be determined with absolute certainty that there is no ply damage with all of its consequences -or if the tire was thermally or mechanically overloaded due to a loss of pressure or other prior damage, we recommend replacement of the tire in question for safety reasons."

    Eric (bumperplugs.com) is a Contributing Member here - so you can always PM him. I think what he sells is the real deal.

    There was a change during your production year - so the part number will depend on your VIN. Check with Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost).

    Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  18. Loren
    For US cars they are plug n' play. If want the Xenon low beam to be added to the high beam when the high beams are on then you will need a control box and wired into each light. That is what came in the "kits" when I added mine. Connecting the wires is fairly easy and most just use taps rather than re-pinning the connector. As RFM said no self-leveling on non-factory installs. I doubt if it is worth all the trouble to install the sensors and the wiring.

    Sorry, I don't have any pics. It is very on the transmission - and looks just like a brake bleed screw.
  20. Loren
    I have not heard of problems with this valve before - but there is always a first.
  21. Loren
    :welcome: You need : 996.613.155.00 A05
  22. Loren
    The bleeder is mounted high on the transmission slave cylinder. Unless you have a lift you will need to remove the left rear wheel to get to it.
  23. Loren
    Try 5202 or 5200
  24. Loren
    Looks like the sensor for the (factory installed only) Litronics autolevel feature. Should be one on the front and one on rear.
  25. Loren
    There was a problem with earlier models where the upper strut bearing would creak. The only fix for that was to replace the upper strut bearing (which is usually not sold separately). Try spraying a little soapy water on the upper strut mounts and see if it goes away.
