    :welcome: Why do you need to replace both fans and mounts? Was the car damaged in an accident? I have not used Royal Purple so I do not know if it meets Porsche's approval. Porsche uses a 75W-90 synthetic gear oil (like Shell Transaxle or Mobil 1) in the 6 speed transmission. I've had a B&M short shifter in my car for 6 years. I would not go back to the standard shifter and even Porsche now offers a short shifter option (that looks exactly like the B&M - except it is a different color). You would need to tell us exactly which parts you need to give you part numbers and prices.

    What model year is car? What (exactly) are your codes? Some - but not all codes will reset themselves in time. Different codes have a different number of drive cycles and time without faults to reset. Most troubleshooting is done as Shash suggested - fix suspected problem -- clear the code -- see if the code returns. If you have a tool like the Durametric software then you can check the car for pending codes (codes the if not corrected will cause a fault and/or turn on the CEL).

    It just gets centered to the measurements specified... at least that's what the service manual says.

    1. Marking the middle of the cover. inset 1 - Apply an adhesive strip which can be written on with dimension A approximately in the center of the cover, parallel to the edge of the cover. inset 2 - Determine the center between the outer edges of the cover and mark on the adhesive strip. Step 2. Sticking on the logo. inset 3 - Remove protective film. inset 4 - Determine the center M between the outer edges of the license plate cover. inset 5 - Align the logo using the adhesive tape marking and press it on firmly. Distance from logo to edge of the cover A 85±1 mm. For all types

    With the right tools - yes. There is a TSB decribing the replacement parts and the procedure is outlined in the service manual.

    They all come with the electronics (in the cluster) but not the controls. On the Boxster - OBC was an option (M659) - as was cruise control (M454).

    Porsche recommends replacing the air filter every 30,000 miles. For your 90,000 mile I would just make sure all the visual checks for done for things like tight swaybars, front end tie rods/ball joints, rear axle seals, brakes, etc..

    The full install instructions are in a TSB that is 11 pages long. Contributing Members can read (all) the TSBs here online.

    Porsche uses a (rubber lubricant) product called Krytox - some say the BMW product is cheaper. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...findpost&p=1930

    Porsche didn't start making PDF's of the manuals until late 2002 or 2003. Maybe I can find time to scan mine this weekend and add it to the manuals here.

    I use a BMC and it adds a better intake sound - I doubt it adds much if any HP by itself. Maybe a few more horses (10-20) if you also change the headers (Carrera) and tune the DME. Porsche uses BMC in all their race cars.

    Why not just take the oil filter off and pour out the excess?

    I'm in Morgan Hill (just South of San Jose). If you get up this way I can read your alarm fault codes .
  22. Loren
    Find someone with a PST2 or PIWIS tester and they can tell you exactly what zone is open (or triggering a fault). Where are you located? (I have a PST2)

    Please see the emergency locking procedure in your Owners Manual (under Locking).
