  1. How many miles on your car? When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? No, misfire fault codes? Hmm... you usually get those when you run out of gas. Where are you located?
  2. Try putting the key in the door and locking then unlocking g the car using the key. Then put the key in the ignition - within 20 seconds.
  3. It is the same as the Carrera the transmission just faces the other direction. Part number for a Boxster is: 996.606.113.00 -- MSRP $43.62. Likely much less at Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost).
  4. From the CR-210 Owners Manual (which you can download here)... "This radio renders itself inoperative in the case of theft. If the radio or car battery is disconnected, the radio automatically disables itself. Once the radio is reinstalled or the battery is reconnected, the word "CODE", with a flashing letter "C", and the digits 1-0 appear in the display. Prior to use, the correct code must be entered via the multifunction keys. Example: CODE 1530 (Preassigned to each radio and supplied to the owner on the PORSCHE RADIO CODE CARD) is entered by pressing the multifunction keys in sequence. (See diagram.) After the first digit is entered, the word "CODE" disappears and the number is displayed followed by three dashes. As digits are entered, the next line in sequence flashes. When all four numbers have been entered, the first digit flashes. At this time you can overwrite the code as often as necessary. To correct any error, you must enter the complete code. Once the correct code is displayed, enter by pushing the signal seek switch. If you have entered an incorrect code, the word "CODE" reappears in the display. The system allows two more attempts for a total of three. After three incorrect attempts, "WAIT" is displayed. A ten-minute time interval must lapse before you can attempt the coding process. You have three more attempts to enter the proper code at this time. After nine attempts at code entry and three waiting periods of ten minutes each, the radio will "WAIT" for sixty minutes. After sixty minutes, you will have three more attempts at code entry. Should you fail at this point, "WAIT" will appear, and sixty minutes must pass before you can make another attempt. Attention: The radio must be on during the waiting period. Note: The RADIO CODE CARD and window decals are supplied with the vehicle. To avoid unauthorized use, do not leave the RADIO CODE CARD in the car!"
  5. As RennTech.org continues to grow larger it has become apparent that knowing everyone (and their cars) is next to impossible for the staff here. It is also becoming apparent that the staff is getting deluged with emails and Personal Messages. With that in mind I would like to ask the following of all members: 1. Please before emailing or PMing a Moderator or Admin - do a Search of the site for your question. If you do not find your question then please post your your question on the site. There are many many helpful folks here that know as much or more than the staff and can answer your question. The staff here try to answer or help with any posted questions - as their personal time allows (please remember everyone here is a volunteer). So, I am not saying you can't email or PM the staff here - just please search or post for your question first. 2. Second request - Please fill in your Location in your profile. If you have not already done so please got to your My Controls. On the left hand menu find the Personal Profile category - then click on Edit Profile Information. Go down to Your Location and add your real location - click Amend my profile button. Doing this will make it much easier for us to help you. If we can know geographically where you are then we know which parts list to use when looking up part numbers (yes, Porsche's are built with some different parts and options for different locations around the world). For troubleshooting it will also help us know what your climate/weather is like, and if needed we or other members can recommend local shops that have the tools and skills to help you with those difficult problems. Thanks to all that continue to make this site the best Porsche Technical Website in the world!
  6. I am not sure this is for us average DIY'ers. "2 Authorised companies (orderer) 2.1 Only companies indirectly or directly involved in the maintenance and repair of Porsche standard-production vehicles as per the list published by Porsche on its website and acting as independent participants in the market in the sense of Art. 4 Para. 2 Subparagraph 4 of the REGULATION (EC) No. 1400/2002 OF THE COMMISSION of July 31, 2002 relating to the application of Art. 81 Para. 3 of the contract to groups of vertical agreements and concerted practices in the automotive sector shall be authorised. 2.2 The orderer shall assure that it is an authorised company. The orderer shall inform Porsche immediately should it cease to be an authorised company. 2.3 Other companies or consumers shall be excluded from access"
  7. 996 343 041 16 shock absorber front 2 996 343 701 04 stabiliser front 1 996 343 792 12 stabiliser mounting front 2 996 343 531 11 coil spring 1 set front 1 504 identification green white 996 333 051 13 shock absorber rear 2 996 333 701 19 stabiliser rear 1 996 333 792 19 stabiliser mounting rear 2 996 333 531 11 coil spring 1 set rear 1 504 identification green white
  8. Look like it is: 999.073.061.02 Self tapping screw 4.8 x 16
  9. RoW alarms are different than US/Canada alarms. Where are you located davej_anderson?
  10. Both of those tools are for older (and some pre-OBD II) cars. The Durametric Software and Porsche tools I mentioned are for OBD II cars. I really don't think you can compare the two. The Bosch hammer works well on many of the pre-OBD II cars but we were not discussing them in this thread.
  11. Durametric is OK for reading and/or clearing emission faults. It lacks the diagnosis of components on the Porshe to test the part on the car before removing. The is the true backbone of an diagnostic tool---which Duramertic lacks. Just my 2cents. It is also $18,000 less expensive that a Porsche PIWIS or $3,600 less expensive than a used PST2.
  12. Try your local PCA region for recommendations of good independent Porsche repair shops.
  13. Hmm... I wonder if you have a bad light switch?
  14. The Boxster engine is the same as the Carrera (except it faces the other direction). Any of the Carrera DIY oil change articles will work for a Boxster too. https://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7055 I think the air filer has been covered elsewhere in the Boxster forums - try doing a search.
  15. Get the Porsche parts they are not that expensive and they come with high temperature adhesive backs to hold them in place. Make sure the sure the surface is claen and dry when you install them.
  16. 000.044.500.07 RoW Mo303 kit for MY99 C2, coupe, 6-speed.
  17. A special thank you to new member Dan (carguy212) for uploading a bunch of current, recent and historic Porsche Sales Brochures.
