  1. If the serial number is different than the original registration and the serial number does not include the letters for exchange parts - then either the engine was replaced with a new one (which Porsche did in the early days because there weren't any rebuilds yet) - or one of the numbers is a mistake.
  2. Then the engine may have been replaced with a NEW engine.
  3. Additional air leaking in causing the DME to add more fuel.

  13. Item 6 in the diagram I first posted is called "Border strip rear" - it has to be the piece. Pick your color... You might also want a some of the clips since they break or in your case are missing.
  14. Loren has NEVER recommended a K&N filter to anyone. I am very sure.
  15. The sensor(s) will only turn on the light if the Circuit is open - it's that simple a system.
  16. I just started playing with this and so far it looks very promising. Not a PST2 or PIWIS but still a lot of information for very little money (especially if you already own an Android phone). The Android App is called Torque - perhaps not aptly named for what it can do ODB II wise. Here is their description "Torque is an engine diagnostics application for Android that allows you to directly monitor your car engine control unit (ECU) and retrieve various information from the sensors connected to it as well as use your phones internal GPS and accelerometer sensors to graph other information such as acceleration. Torque can be used to view any stored fault codes on your vehicles ECU, then, after a mechanic fixing the fault, it also can clear the fault codes allowing you to clear the 'Check Engine' light warning on your dashboard Torque can use a multitude of OBD adapters, ranging from the cheap (and slightly buggy) adapters you can find on ebay, to the more reliable PLX Devices Kiwi Bluetooth and OBDKey which are the amongst the best. The adapters are used to interface your Android device to the vehicle engine control unit (ECU). Torque can be downloaded from the Android market ad free, or you can try the ad-supported version. Torque works on android 1.5/1.6/2.0/2.1 or above! The change log and version history for Torque can be viewed by clicking here. Any car manufacturered from 2000 onwards (and quite a few from the mid '90s) should have an OBD2 compliant diagnostics port installed. Check your manual or google if you are unsure if yours has one or where it is – some ports are hidden quite well under ashtrays, etc. Torque can also upload in realtime data to the Torque viewer website so that you can view your recorded OBD data online." You can download at Android Market or use the QR code here Here are a few screen shots some are pages (with readouts) that I created and others are from the authors website. And a short video someone made -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought the ELM 327 Bluetooth OBD II Interface for about $59. This interface supports ISO 9141, KWP2000, SAE J1850 both VPW/PWM and CAN - so it will work with any of my cars. So far I am very impressed. I have not tried the website interface yet - but it can log all of your data (realtime) to a special website that you can only login to with your unique key. I'll try to post more as I get time to work with this some more. Feel free to post your comments/questions below...
  17. Look in the Boxster TSB section - search for "summer". That will get you the TSB titled Summer Wheels and Tires. That TSB has all the possible wheel, offset , and tire size that are approved by Porsche (and hence will not rub).
  18. According to Porsche the 996 TT and 996 GT2 did not get BOSE until model year 2002. If you want to PM me your VIN I can try to check your original options for you.
  19. Can you post a photo of just that part then - thanks.
  20. Please tell us all the fault codes reported by the Tiptronic - thanks.
  21. Traffic Pro is on part of the MOST (fiber optic system) so you would have hardwire it in (like any 3rd party head). CDC_4 won't work with it. Speed pulse wire is easy - covered in the Traffic Pro Installation TSB (available to Contributing Members here).
  22. thanks thats what I thought, but no luck on the tools being there do yoiu know where I can find what tools I should be carrying Item and associated parts list is attached. my97_tool_kit.pdf
  23. You can download a later model Owners Manual here - the headlight removal procedure is the same. Your tools should be in pouch inside the spare tire.
