    There really isn't much to the ParkAssistent - just a controller box and the sensors. I would start by checking fuse B10 (second row - first fuse from the right).

    Did you see the Becker after market connector diagram here?

    You need to have your alarm controller read with the Durametric Software, a PST2, or a PIWIS tester to see what the fault codes are. Where are you located? Perhaps another member with one of these tools will help you out...

    Certainly air could be introduced if the pedal was moved during the tank replacement. But, it is highly unlikely that air has gotten into the ABS system. If you bleed the brakes as normally done I think you should be fine - you likely will want to bleed the clutch also as it is on the same circuit. If you bleed the brakes and the pedal is squishy or soft then it is likely air in the system.

    RFM is correct - my bad I was thinking of the 996 Carrera hoses.
  6. Loren
    When you fit the new hose use new screw-type hose clamps. Those spring clamps are barely good enough for one use and certainly not two.

    The pollen cover is one piece (item 1). 996.572.019.02 The battery cover (item 4) is: 996.572.567.01.01C If you don't have the hold downs then you will also need (2 each): 999.590.045.40 screw plug 999.590.046.40 disc cam

    The controller is under the dash on the drivers side.
  9. Loren
    It depends - if it is a lower hose you might get lucky and just need to remove the liner. If it is an upper hose then you will need to remove the front bumper and likely loosen the radiator mounts to get to the (upper) hose.

    As long as the prescribed service is performed they can not void your warranty. http://www.semasan.com/main/main.aspx?id=60128

    The brake light switch is on the brake pedal. If the system integrity has been kept intact then you should be fine. The coolant is "Lifetime" coolant per Porsche. Do not mix coolants with the Porsche coolant.

    :welcome: Most dealers don't even hook up a PST2 (or PIWIS tester) when changing the brake fluid. Many good independent shops have a PST2 or PIWIS tester (PIWIS is a newer version). A few of us have spent the several thousand dollars to have one too. Common opinion is that you do not need to do that unless large amounts of air have gotten into the system. I have a PST2 and I do not bleed the ABS every time.

    It's cover quite well in your Owners Manual - have you looked there?

    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Catalytic converter In the case of a catalytic converter fault in the Boxster (2.7 liter and 3.2 liter), only the pre-catalytic converter is to be replaced. P0447 EVAP Canister Shutoff Valve (Output Stage) – Open Circuit Potential causes: – Wiring harness – Shutoff valve – DME control module This one could also be a a loose gas cap or bad o-ring on the gas cap. I would find the leak in the EVAP system and reset the codes. Then see if the cat code comes back.
  15. Loren
    If the mixture is such that it will damage a cat - then the CEL will flash and the car should not be driven.
  16. Loren
    No, not without welding and cutting.
  17. Loren
    There are lots of tips in this thread - please read though it...
  18. Loren
    Try 0033 or 0031

    I think every 996 that I have heard with a light weight flywheel - rattles some at idle.
  20. Loren
    The oil goes back to the sump the gases go to the intake to be burned.
  21. Loren
    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...&code=dme72 Potential causes have been covered here many many times... please try a search.

    Item 7? - rubber lip (left) 996.504.503.02

    The mirror comes with a new wiring harness - you need to connect the points on that harness (among many other things). The reverse wire connection point is under the drivers seat. The TSB says a tech should be able to compete the install in 300 TU (time units). 100 TU = 1 hour. Perhaps, this will help you under stand that it is not connect power and you are done.

    I think you misunderstand the purpose of the AOS. Per Porsche's 1999 Tech Book: "Since there is no drop between the cylinder heads and oil sump in a Boxer engine, the oil is drawn out of each of the cylinder heads by an oil return pump. Oil Separator The oil drawn off via the return pumps is fed into "swirl pots". In these containers, the oil is centrifuged and defoamed, i.e. gases which the oil has picked up on the way to the lubricating points are removed. This ensures that the oil always has a good consistency which is necessary to guarantee the reliability of the hydraulic valve clearance compensation. Gases could bring about changes in the engine timing which would have an effect on the performance and exhaust-emission behavior of the engine."

    Yes, that is the interior auto-dimming upgrade kit. This does nol control the side mirrors unless they are already auto-dimming. You have to run a wire to reverse so it knows to turn off auto-dimming when you back up. You can install the interior auto-dimming without the exterior auto-dimming but not visa-versa.
