    My point is a few drops of oil on the ground does not make it an RMS leak - so isn't the cost irrelevant at this point? There is no way to tell where the oil leak is coming from without looking closer. There are other areas that can leak that are not RMS or IMS. If you don't feel comfortable looking closer or have the tools then find a good Porsche shop that can have a look for you. Where are you located?

    Item 10?

    Call or email them and ask. We send a lot of business their way... but then they have an excellent product.

    Based on the age of the car - I would suspect the airbag light is one of the seat belt buckles. The only tools that can turn off (or diagnose) an airbag light are Durametric Software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester. Be sure to get the airbag code(s) before resetting them.

    My name is Loren - please. Try 4666 or 4664

    Take a picture of the underside of the car where it is leaking. A spot the size of a quarter could be many things that are not RMS.

    The ballast resister sells for MSRP $86.09 - but I sure Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) can do much better than that. If you know how to solder this is not a hard job. Certainly under 1 hour. If not, then find a more reasonable shop.
  11. Loren
    Well... a PIWIS does support the older cars. A PST2 only supports through MY2004.

    Since this is the best Porsche OBD II tool we have found (short of spending thousands of dollars on a PST2 or PIWIS) I thought it would be good to show folks what comes in the Professional Kit. I assume everyone that buys a Durametric Professional Kit gets what I got... Nice carrying case and what is inside You get the Software CD and short install instructions. 4 Porsche specific OBD II cables (clockwise from the top left): cable for early 993, 964, 944S2, 968, 928 with older round connector, cable for later model 993 with OBD II standard connector, special adapter cable for use on 2002-2008 factory race cars with Motronic 3.1, and the standard OBD II cable for all the 9x6, 9x7, and Cayenne cars. Of course the Enthusiast Package would include only the standard OBD II cable for all the 9x6, 9x7, and Cayenne cars and the Software CD. These folks have really come a long ways in providing a great tool for Porsche shops and enthusiasts (like us :) ) - IMHO

    Well, if it has been sitting for 15 years then I would replace the brake fluid, transmission oil, oil/filter, and tires. And if gas has been sitting in the tank then you likely want to drain it and have the tank professionally cleaned inside. I would also likely change the spark plugs, and adjust the valves. Check the brake discs for signs of rust or corrosion. PM me the VIN and I'll see what I can find on it.

    :welcome: Sorry, I am confused is it a turbo or a 911S? and, I assume you were not trying to run the 15 year old gas?
  18. Loren
    Autozone does for sure you have them there.

    The the owners likely swapped them out with headlights from a 996 (easy to do). 744 is body color in Metallic Black. C50 is convertible top in Graphite Grey. If you order a Porsche you can specify the top color from a list of available colors (usually at least 4 colors). Many times dealers order cars to show (and sell) on their lot in popular colors and options.
  20. Loren
    Are you in the US? Most US auto parts stores will loan you an OBD II code reader.
  21. Loren
    Any fault codes? I would start by cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve (ICV). Both have been covered here.
  22. Loren
    Boxster folks correct me if I misspeak here... 1. Only Boxster's with Litronics have clear front lights. The clear rear lights did not begin until MY03. 2. You could order a Boxster with almost any color top.

    Remove air inlet 1. Lift up air inlet 1 at the front edge evenly using an assembly wedge, disengage and pull forwards out of the air duct. Remove retaining clips 3. Unscrew sheetmetal screws 2 and pull off retaining clips 3. If necessary, the tabs on the clips must be bent upwards using a screwdriver beforehand. The retaining clips must be replaced for installation. Pull off seal 4. Pull off seal 4. Pull off spring clips 5. Push on seal 4. Check seal 4 and spring clips 5 , replace if necessary. Attach spring clips 5 to the air inlet. Push seal 4 onto the air inlet. Install retaining clips 3. Put new retaining clips 3 onto the tabs of the side section and align evenly in the lug bores. Screw in sheetmetal screws 2. Install air inlet 1. Check lugs (arrows) on the air inlet 1 for damage, replace air inlet if necessary. Insert air inlet 1 in the air duct and engage evenly into the retaining clips. Check air inlet system on the side section and check the gap dimension. The air inlet system or the gap dimension can be corrected by undoing and shifting the spring clips.

    Search for: +cluster +bulbs I got two pages of results...

    MY2002 is conventional radio/amp wiring. MY03 and newer uses MOST (fiber optic network) wiring. There is nothing even close to compare.
