    Headlights - I do not know on a MY2009 - the wiring diagrams are not out yet.

    (MARS) Mobile Appearance Reconditioning Service is offering Renntech.org members up to 15% off their services. They offer Exterior Repair, Interior Repair, Glass Repair, Dent Removal, Detailing, Paint and Headlight Protection (clear bra). Located in the Sacramento/Rocklin/Roseville, CA area. I have personally used these folks and recommend them highly. Give them a try! (MARS) Mobile Appearance Reconditioning Service

    Have you checked the sway bar mounting bolts - that is the most common cause of sounds from the rear.
  4. Loren
    Yes, it will work for a MY2000. Yes, make the electrical connection on the pins with a jumper/splice or buy the factory cable.

    The part numbers for the control units appear to be the same. Their are four part numbers depending on options off-road, XM, CD Changer, etc. etc.)
  6. Loren
    I think you mean 64 71 19.
  7. Loren
    Try 7114 or 7112
  8. Loren
    Do you mean airbag fault code 46 or alarm fault code 46? Neither one is related to the ABS sensors. Airbag fault code 46 is the drivers seat belt buckle. If the P1125 reoccurs then try cleaning the MAF.

    You need to find a new dealer - I think they might be incompetent. Havoline® DEX-COOL® Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant Chevron DEX-COOL® Extended Life Antifreeze/Coolant Are both ok for 9x6 series Porsches.

    (Wams - 09-07-2008) I have a 2002 Boxster. It once sputtered and white smoke with blue tint came out of the exhaust. Then it was fine for several days to a week. In the meantime I called the local Porsche dealer and talked with a service manager. The service manager told me that there could be an oil separator problem and I should have it checked, before it got worst ... meaning the O2 sensors could be ruined. Well, it was one week too late. The O2 sensors went bad, besides the oil separator problem. The total cost was around US $650 at the dealership. MSRP on a Boxster oil separator is $70.51. So they charged you 6 hours labor for a 1 hour job? (Porsche book time is actually less than 1 hour). Time to find a independent shop or DIY I think...

    The only way you can properly flush and fill these cars is with a vacuum system. Otherwise you will never get all the old coolant out and never get all the new coolant in. Find an independent Porsche shop that has a vacuum flush/fill apparatus and have them change it for you. BTW... the old Porsche coolant was greenish/yellow and the new Porsche coolant is pink.

    My Sept 2008 PET does not reference them as replacements but the price list update is not out yet and sometimes that is where they show cross-references too. Have you compared them with the old ones? Could be as simple as a material change to reduce wear, etc.
  13. Loren
    Usually we leave it off - it odes not seem to fit on the 997 shifter or the B&M installs. It's just a coin/debris guard anyway. Older cars never had them to begin with.
  14. Loren
    C4S and TT share brakes and some suspension parts (widebody to widebody). C4 is a narrow body car - so you would have to change hub carriers etc.

    Try 9062 or 9060 Niether code worked, any further suggestions? Thanks, dsryan67 Please read this and follow the instructions... Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
  16. Loren
    Did you try the throttle adaption procedure the manual suggests? 1. Switch on the ignition. 2. Wait one minute. Do not press the accelerator. 3. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 seconds. 4. Read out the fault memory
  17. Loren
    Try 9062 or 9060
  18. Loren
    Try 4721 or 4719

    All 9x6 series cars came with the electronics for OBC (On Board Computer). But the feature was an option. If you got the factory option then you have 4 stalks on your steering wheel. The lower left stalk controls the different displays of the OBC in instrument cluster. All (US) 996 Carrera's came with cruise control - 986 Boxsters had cruise as an option. Both had OBC as an option. Yet the primary electronics for these were always "built-in" You can add both cruise control and OBC fairly easily to any of these cars. You just add the proper stalk(s) (or switches) and turn the feature on using a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    Not far inside - just pull a little.
  21. Loren
    You just push a small tab in. You might be able to see it with a flashlight. I usually just fumble around with it until the knob comes off.
  22. Loren
    Try 1139 or 1137

    Check the drain tube on the AC - that is how the condensation escapes.
  25. Loren
    Yes, if the bar activation is not "on" it will need to be turned on. If that is the case then you need to find someone with a PST2 oe PIWIS tester. You have to plug the two wire connector into a plug on the bottom of the seat (usually taped) AND the feature needs to be turned on with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.
