That software is reviewed here.

It is definitely not Porsche factory parts.

Could RMS or IMS if it from the joint between the engine and transmission. My first RMS leak was at 9000 miles.

The radio alarm wire goes into a connector so there is need to tape it unless you cut (or remove it) from the connector.

There was a problem on some MY2000 and newer cars where the power steering return hose could cause noises (TSB 1/00 4895 Power Steering Return Hose -- dated 4-21-00). If the problem is not that hose then it will need to be narrowed down to the pump in the engine compartment or the steering gear in the front.

Still... photos that allow us to read the writing on the boxes might help.

All of this is covered in TSB 2/98 6315 Installing the Aerokit Front Spoiler, Rear Spoiler and Side Member Panels -- dated Sept 4, 1998. "4.0 Disconnect the retractable spoiler warning light. 4.1 Remove instrument cluster according to the boxster Technical Manual, Group 7, Operation 7018. 4.2 Remove spoiler warning light bulb by turning 180 degrees. 4.3 Reinstall instrument cluster."

2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S to Feature New, More Powerful Engines Porsche's award-winning roadsters to receive new powerplants with VarioCam Plus and both horsepower and torque boosts ATLANTA – June 19, 2006 – The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S mid-engined sports cars will be given more power and torque via new engines featuring Porsche VarioCam Plus. For the 2007 model year, the capabilities of the drop-top roadsters are also extended with an updated version of the optional Tiptronic® S automatic transmission and additional functions of the optional Sport Chrono Package. The engines in the Boxster and Boxster S roadsters are now equipped with Porsche’s VarioCam Plus, which provides both variable intake valve timing and lift control. Thanks to this system, the Boxster and Boxster S engines have characteristically strong pulling power, combined with high peak-output and impressive fuel efficiency. The engine in the Boxster S has been enlarged from 3.2 to 3.4 liters, and now develops 295 horsepower at 6250 rpm – 15 horsepower more than its predecessor. Torque has also swelled 15 pound-feet, to 251 lb.-ft. The Boxster S sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds (0-100 km/h, 5.4 sec.) – a tenth of a second quicker than the previous model. This open sports car’s top test-track speed has risen 2 mph to 169 mph (272 km/h). The 2.7-liter Boxster engine now develops an additional 5 horsepower, bringing peak output to 245 horsepower. Torque has also increased, from 199 to 201 lb.-ft., peaking 100 rpm earlier with a broad torque plateau from 4600 to 6000 rpm. With the standard 5-speed manual transmission, the ’07 Boxster accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.8 seconds (0-100 km/h, 6.1 sec.), and has a top test-track speed of 160 mph (258 km/h). With the optional six-speed manual gearbox, top test-track speed increases to 162 mph (260 km/h). For 2007, the Boxster and Boxster S can be optioned with the revised Tiptronic S transmission, which features new hydraulics and electronics to improve responsiveness, and also provides variable shift programs. Combined with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the sporting characteristics of both these mid-engined roadsters are enhanced. With the Sport mode engaged, up- and downshifts are only made at engine speeds above 3000 rpm, and downshifts for engine braking are subject to less delay and take place at higher engine speeds. In the manual-shift mode, up-shifts are not made automatically when the engine reaches its rev limiter. Standard on the 2007 Boxster models is Porsche’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), which continuously monitors the air pressure in each tire. Through its warning function, TPMS not only offers extra safety, and the reduced risk of tire damage, but it also monitors any gradual loss of pressure from the tires, helping prevent inconsistent, or unequal tire wear and excessive fuel consumption. On both new Boxster models, service access has been improved, as the coolant and engine-oil filler caps are now located behind an easily accessible flap, so that better use can be made of the rear trunk. Also for the first time, the Boxster and Boxster S are available with the 19-inch, forged alloy, two-tone wheels that were developed for the new 911® Turbo. For the Boxster models they are offered as an option in sizes 8J x 19 (front) and 9.5J x 19 (rear). The 2007 Porsche Boxster and Boxster S go on sale in North America in August. U.S. and Canadian pricing for the Boxster is $45,600 (USD) and $63,600 (CAD), respectively. Pricing for the ’07 Boxster S is $55,500 (USD) and $77,300 (CAD).

Only MY98 and MY99 C2's are non-egas. All MY00 and all C4's are egas.

Well on most cars (you did not give me a model year) it should be the Brown wire with a Blue stripe.

The two softwares are different. The Durametric is for resetting (all types of) codes and reading actual values from several controllers. The OBD-2.com software is more of a DME/Oxygen sensor performance monitoring software. You can graph O2 sensor performance, TRA, FRA, spark advance, etc., etc. I have both as they compliment each other (IMHO).

You actually have to cut and tape the alarm wire when using a 3rd party radio instead of the CDR-220.

If it looks like the one in this post then it is the phone prep connector.

Well, it could be the control module... sorry, but without the codes it could be anything. Make sure they don't charge you if the control module does not fix it.

Perhaps they under filled it at the dealership. If the (alternator) regulator is not turning off when the battery is charged then it will try to overcharge the battery and that can cause overflow (through the vent tube). Any other leaks should be very visible. I would have the battery tested at an Autozone (or the like).

Lots of little stuff to remove but it is "bolt-on".

Pinched wires? Shorted controller? Without the codes we are shooting in the dark... Your shop/dealer should be able to use a PST2 (or PIWIS) to assess the fault exactly. To do this the fault memory Info key (F8) must be pressed. This information should be saved using the Save key (F4) and printed out. If a fault code is stored with "not present" status and no other problems are present, then the fault memory must be erased. This printout should give you additional information such as: Type of fault / occurrence of fault - Open circuit / short circuit to -- There is (present) or was (not present) a short circuit to ground or an open circuit in the circuit to the control module pin. - Short circuit to B+ -- There is (present) or was (not present) a short circuit to voltage. - Below limit value -- Resistance too low; Wiring leak e,g. short circuit to ground, faulty component - Above limit value -- Resistance too high e.g. open circuit, component faulty - Start -- Shows the time elasped since the fault first occured (present). If the fault arises again the clock continues. - Stop -- Shows the time elasped since the fault was first remedied (not present). If the fault arises again the clock continues.

It should fit near the chassis bodywork so unless that has changed it should just follow the chassis (as I recall).

I count 14 possible fault codes for side airbags alone - not including chained events. It almost has to be disconnected or shorted sensors in the doors - and the codes should verify that. And if the codes are for both sides then it really must be something the shop did.

Make sure you have the correct hoses for each side. When you do they just fit very well.

Airbag fault code numbers?

Have you checked the fluid level?

That is because this thread is about GT3 -- not a Carrera. ;)

All the OBD II P-Codes are here. P0420 TWC conversion, bank 1 - above limit Possible fault cause - Oxygen sensor ahead of and after TWC exchanged - Valve lift fault - Aged oxygen sensor after TWC - TWC faulty

Where are you located? After replacing an O2 sensor you need a certain number of drive cycles for all of the "pending" codes to be cleared. In most states (like California) the smog/emissions tests require no pending codes (That's how they know that you didn't just clear the code for the test - and it will come back later). Most daily driven cars should clear any pending codes in 3 to 5 days of normal driving.
