  1. Sounds like you need a new ignition switch.
  2. I believe the high mount 3rd light is LED based. Are they all out or just one section? Here is the thread on how to remove the top of the spoiler (to get to it): http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...st&p=118245
  3. All Boxster's have the emergency front and rear release cables. Perhaps you are confusing it with the - inside the trunk emergency release cable (Trunk Entrapment) - those started in MY03.
  4. Use the emergency cable behind the right front wheel well. Replace the battery.
  5. Sorry, then you need to find the right wire.
  6. Just drain out some of the coolant (say 1 gallon) and then add in undiluted coolant. Drive with the bleeder valve open for a couple of days and you should be fine.
  7. Sounds like the dealer/OPC needs to more diagnostic work with their PIWIS tester.
  8. The 6 ranges for 997 GT3 are: Range 1: 9000-9200 RPM Range 2: 9200-9400 RPM Range 3: 9400-9600 RPM Range 4: 9600-10000 RPM Range 5: 10000-11000 RPM Range 6: 11000 and up RPM
  9. You can never go wrong if mark the cables or count the threads and then put them back where they came from. (Unless, of course, it was not adjusted correctly in the first place -- but you would notice that). shift is precise and no functional problem. so should I just leave it as is? Yes.
  10. You can never go wrong if mark the cables or count the threads and then put them back where they came from. (Unless, of course, it was not adjusted correctly in the first place -- but you would notice that).
  11. Yes, but I would bleed them twice. Since you will no brake fluid in them at all when you re-install. BTW... I deleted your second post ont he same subject - please do not double post. Doesn't matter you still want to bleed the brakes. As long as you don't open the PSM or ABS lines they do not need additional bleeding.
  12. There are several pink/gray wires - so if you cut the wrong one then other things may not work. Do you want to disable the PSE cutout all the time? If so, then just unplug the solenoid on the engine and it will never switch.
  13. Yes, but I would bleed them twice. Since you will no brake fluid in them at all when you re-install. BTW... I deleted your second post ont he same subject - please do not double post.
  14. 999.919.160.07 oval head screw -- US MSRP $1.62 each
  15. :welcome: You will need to remove the door panel to see what is going on. Could be a broken latch or disconnected actuator.
  16. You can look those up in the Owners Manuals (in the Download Section).
  17. You are going to need to investigate what is damaged behind the bumper - pics would help.
  18. If you have not already read the FAQ - please read it at the link below and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST Try 7162 or 7160
  19. Any good OBD II reader can reset a CEL.
  20. I have not done this but here is what the service manual says. 1. Open rear window and pull off cover caps from the fastening screws. 2. Removing upper part of rear spoiler. Unscrew fastening screws (3 I think) from inside. 3. Remove upper part of rear spoiler backwards and upwards. Nothing in there anyway... ;)
  21. Yes, there is both switched and unswitched power on the telephone prep connector. brown and green/black wire? http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=23826 http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...ost&p=18375
  22. Any generic fault code reader should tell you the fault code(s).
  23. The wire colors change on the later models but the basic process is the same. Kirby did this on a couple of late model cars at a WOCD - San Jose and MY02 had different wire colors as did the MY04 car we worked on.
  24. DTC 4206 Front left speed sensor, signal implausible Possible faults (cause in the event of deviation): 1. Air gap between speed sensor and gear wheel (pulse wheel) too large or, due to wear (chip formation), too small (check installation). 2. Pulse wheel defective or corroded. 3. Wheel bearing damage (wheel bearing not adjustable). 4. Plug connection in wiring from the speed sensor to the control module or PIN on the control module connector not OK.
  25. The Retail Price Search feature (for our Contributing Members) has been updated to reflect September 2008 pricing for the US (only). We try and update this on a monthly basis as the price lists come available to us. For September 2008 the price lists support: US: 267,735 parts (that is about a 40,000 part number increase over August 2008) Canada: 209,209 parts (December 2006) Thanks again to Contributing Member Porschelibrarian!
