    From the GT3 Owners Manual: "The remote-control standby function switches off after 5 days If the vehicle is not started or unlocked with the remote control within five days, the remote control standby function is switched off (to prevent discharging of the vehicle battery). 1. In this case, unlock the driver's door with the key at the door lock. Leave the door closed in order to prevent the alarm system from being triggered. 2. Press button 1 on the remote control. The remote control is now activated again."

    :welcome: Like many rear engine and mid engine Porsche's the transmission and differential are a shared unit. I think I would start by replacing the gear oil with Porsche approved gear oil. As you say you've owned the car 9 months so unless you know what gear oil he/she put in then it is a possibility. There is a DIY here. Be sure to pay particular attention to the Boxster specific instructions.

    You need to read and post here: Lost Radio Code - post your request here

    Try 3287 or 3285

    999.631.036.90 Sorry, I do not know the color temperature.
  6. Loren
    Um... that is what I gave you... did you see the plug code on the left?
  7. Loren
    I guess step one would be to get a definitive list of what was replaced. That way we know what we are dealing with. Many of those little problems could likely be solved (re-programming) or troubleshot with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. The two big issues I can think of is the DME (really needs to be a DME 7.8 for a 3.6) and the returnless fuel system used on the 3.6 car and newer. The other guy to ask about this is tholyoak (Todd Holyoak) - he has done several Boxster conversions and recently did a a 3.6 into a Boxster. Now, he chose to use an older DME but I don't remeber if he solved the VarioCam Plus issue. Where are you located?

    Porsche spec is synthetic gear oil.

    On some of the early 996's there were problems with hose ties near the fuel filler. This could cause a variety of problems from fuel filling problems to a buzzing noise at the filler. On US/Canada cars there is a fuel return that also returns vapors to the fuel tank - on some of those cars there is a valve that can fail that will cause a similar buzzing sound. Those are the areas I would look at first...

    Just send them an email. They are very good about responding.
  11. Loren
    It is more likely that they hit a wheel with the lift or they didn't do it.
  12. Loren
    Basically they remove the transmission while supporting the engine with a special jack or brace when they change a clutch or do an RMS/IMS repair. It is not that hard with a lift and the proper tools.
  13. Loren
    You just disconnect the half shafts at the transmission - as RFM said the wheels do not have to come off.
  14. Loren
    Model and year of your car? The Durametric product can read any Porsche fault codes and many actual values for the OBD II compliant Porsches (late 993 and newer). You can find more information here.
  15. Loren
    Where are you located? Perhaps there is a board member near you with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.
  16. Loren
    Is this a US car? because the US/Canada cars are different than the RoW cars.
  17. Loren
    I sent you information on where to get the manual page you need.
  18. Loren
    Item 12 and 13?
  19. Loren
    Term 31 is ground. Term 30 is unswitched power (+12 volts)
  20. Loren
    Model and year of your car please...
  21. Loren
    There are a total of 76 pages of schematics for a 2005 Cayenne. What exactly are trying to do?
  22. Loren
  23. Loren
    There is a switch in the front latch assembly. That is the likely cause. Better that it doesn't come on - a fairly common failure is that it doesn't turn off and then runs the battery down.
  24. Loren
    Check you old sensor part number. If is 996.606.124.00 and your car was manufactured prior to January 31, 2000 then you can use the 996.606.125.01 but it will require your DME to be re-programmed for the new style sensor.

    Talk to the folks at Wheel Enhancement - they take trade-ins.
