    My mistake oh mighty Boxster Wizard... ;)

    If no one has a PST2 that you can use you could buy the Durametic Software - it can reset air bag lights. About $197.

    Only early MY99 cars had orange (yellow) headlights. My June 1999 built car had clears (until I upgraded to Litronics). Boxster (986) has always had orange in the lights unless you opted for Litronics. Performance Products sells the clear headlights for 996 - but for roughly twice the price the Halogen lights you can have Xenon Litronics.

    Did you see the DIY here?

    The +12 volts on A5 goes to the Diversity Antenna (amplifier).

    They should snap in unless you broke the clips removing them (fairly common). I think they snap in easier when warm - so park in the sun then snap them in.

    Approved oil

    Loren replied to Captain Crunch's topic in 996 GT3

    There are 3 pages listing the approved oils (by Porsche) in the TSB. Unfortunately, Shell is not on the list. BP, Chevron, Mobil 1, Castrol (and many more) 5W-40 are all approved.

    Maybe this will help...

    Jeff, I just posted Joel's comment... Here is the inforamtion on changing the fuel filter: 1. Unhook clamps of air cleaner cover. Take out housing cover and filter element. 2. Separate air cleaner housing from intake air rail and unhook from air flow sensor. Lift up air cleaner housing and take out housing. Be careful no to lose the a-ring in the air cleaner housing / air flow sensor. 3. Undo fuel lines, using a second wrench to lock. Drain remaining fuel into a suitable container. 4. Undo clamp and remove fuel filter. 5. Fit new filter. Observe direction of flow = direction of arrow. 6. Start engine and check fuel lines and fuel filter for leaks. Check fuel and injection lines for leaks and tight fit!

    Ignition switch. Thanks! I hope it is not a very expensive repair. Anybody can tell me how much will cost me to replace ignition switch(parts and labor)? Do I have to go to Porsche dealer to fix it? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=493

    Okay folks, let's get this thread back to constructive comments about your experiences and facts. I personally don't believe any horsepower claims unless it has been proven by an impartial third party. If this thread continues down the road of personal comments about other members - it will be closed and warnings will be given. Please, the rules are simple - keep it clean and friendly... and keep it on topic.

    Sorry, I have no idea. US/Canada cars are on the right side. Maybe one of the UK guys here can tell you.

    Just pull the wheel lining back or fish for it from the bottom side.

    TSB 1/99 3005 Boost Spring for Clutch Pedal -- dated 3-25-1999 states: "As of October 12, 1998 production and the following VINs, the boost spring and clutch pedal have been optimized for minimal operational noise. 99 0XS 62 4135 Coupe 99 1XS 65 2616 Cabrio" If your car falls into this catagory then the following should be replaced: Clutch pedal, Boost spring bracket, Boost spring (spring painted purple), Optimol, Optitemp LG 2 grease. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TSB 2/00 3005 Clutch Pedal Noise -- dated 9-8-2000 "Squeaking noise.

Note: A new contoured version clutch spring was installed in production as of the following VIN’s: 99 3YS 62 0534 Coupe 99 1YS 65 0950 Cabriolet" One of the benefits of being a Contributing member is you can view these TSBs yourself.

    Added the 993 to the list of cars we can check. Durametric just sent me the 993 special cable.
  16. Loren
    No problem I have a PST 2 and the Durametric Software so codes/faults are taken care of. See if you can get together with Tool Pants and find a location and date...

    The exhaust recall that I am aware of was for "...exhaust tailpipes worldwide on 18,627 units of the 911 Carrera S and 911 Carrera 4S. This involves cars built between 20 April 2004 and 21 October 2005." This would not include his MY03 car.

    Glad you got it taken care without a trip to the OPC. :thumbup:
  20. Loren
    Did you look here?

    Air does funny things depending on the amount and the compression. Has the circuit been open for anything? bleeding or leak? If it were my car I'd try bleeding it and see if it changes.
  22. Loren
    Looking towards the front. Pretty much the middle of the car.
