  1. Many times a whistling sound heard at speed is a misalignment of the front bumper cover and the front hood. To find out for sure put a piece of tape across the hood and bumper seam and see if it still happens.
  2. Book time is 240 TU or 4 hours. "Book time" is usually slightly overstated.
  3. Todd, You are correct the pistons only got replaced on the 3.4 liter X51 kit. The 3.6 already has the same pistions.
  4. No special clutch for an X51 package - I was just stating that because you don't want to put a worn clutch in with a shiny new (more powerful) engine. Also, he is putting this in a Boxster.
  5. Try 4672 or 4674
  6. X51 uses differnet: Pistons Inlet camshafts and exhaust camshafts Valve discs, valve springs, valve guides, valve seats Valves, valve caps Dual-chamber suction pump at cylinder bank 4 - 6 Oil suction pipe Oil pan with partition box Gasket for exhaust manifolds Exhaust manifolds Suction line on AIC compressor Intake pipes Intake distributors The transmission should be fine but you might want to make sure your clutch is up to spec.
  7. Graphite grey is the color for the plastic pieces - not a paint color. Can you take a pic and post it so we can see what is damaged?
  8. Your dealer should be willing to get the IPAS code for you. He might require proof of ownership. Be sure to put a battery maintainer/charger on the car when doing the re-programming. The PST2 will refuse to re-program if the voltage is not right on.
  9. You can not calibrate the fuel level sensor on a C4 (or C4S) without a PST2 or PIWIS -- did this mechanic have one and use it?
  10. You don't need to take it out unless it is broken. Carefully pull on the wire from the back side and see if any pins pull out.
  11. Check the connector that stays in the body when you remove the headlight. I've seen broken connectors and I've seen the pins pushed out the connector so they don't make contact.
  12. You have to remove the rear bumper cover then from the back side push in the pins and clips.
  13. Try 0318 or 0320
  14. So... tell me why you don't have your code?
  15. I think it is: 955.552.189.00.5V7
  16. Check the connector just inside the right rear fender. Press the tabs to disconnect it - clean it and then reinsert it.
  17. If the sticker is not there or you are unsure then PM the VIN and I will look it up.
  18. Try 7177 or 7179
  19. Right in front of each on the other side of the wheel well liner.
  20. Naughty... naughty...
