    :welcome: Trailer operation Canada/USA Maximum gross weight 6790 lbs. (3080 kg) Maximum axle load, front/rear axle 3285/3968 lbs. (1490/1800 kg) 176 to 212 is considered normal. Oil temp is okay as long is it is not in the red. There were a couple of cooling issue TSBs issued. I suggest you ask your dealer to see if they were performed on your car.

    "Patrick Long, 26, the only American racing driver on Porsche’s factory team, made his debut as a UPS Porsche Junior factory driver in Germany’s Porsche Carrera Cup in 2003. Born in California, Long began racing karts at eight and moved to Europe at 17 to pursue a career that included a Constructor’s Cup Formula-A championship in 1998. He was selected as one of the six finalists in the Red Bull Formula One Driver Search program in 2002, attracting the attention of Porsche’s Uwe Brettel and Helmut Greiner. In 2005, driving with Jörg Bergmeister and Sascha Maassen in a GT2 911, Long won his first 24 Hours of Le Mans in his rookie appearance at the French classic. Together with Bergmeister, Long won the American Le Mans Series GT2 championship in 2005. This season he teams with Maassen at the wheel of the #6 Penske Racing RS Spyder. A card-carrying PCA member, Long lives in Bellair, Florida." View Patrick Long's Race Blog here

    Item 1 ( for C4): 996.504.527.01 Cover -- US MSRP $115.90 Item 5: 996.504.129.01 Cover rear -- US MSRP $91.60 I'm sure the folks at Sunset Imports can get you better pricing.

    Well that will depend on how long it ran with coolant in the oil. Certainly a chance of bearing damage if too much coolant for too long in the oil.

    Yes, as described in the radio manual and at the link below (if folks take the time to read it). Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    We have put a Carrera sender in a Boxster. We did it when we put a Carrera cluster in AnneH's Boxster. I assure you it fits and works fine.

    I doubt anybody but Porsche could diagnose a porous block. If you want a warranty why not buy a Porsche Exchange engine? That way you get your car back and you get a warranty on the replacement engine.

    Could just a tube off. Could be a cracked tank. Could be a leaking motor. You will have to take the wheel well liner off to see what is going on.

    Oil usage

    Loren replied to allffy's topic in 993, 993 TT Series

    The heads need to come off and go to a machine shop to insert the new valve guides. I guess you could wait until it gets worse.
  10. Loren
    Hard to say - 45,000 miles seems a little early for all 4 O2 sensors. A modified DME program could cause issues too. You should likely plot the O2 sensor voltage curves and compare it against a well running 993TT.

    Porsche says 1 quart every 600 miles is "acceptable". I think it all comes down to what is acceptable to you. If it were my car and it used more than 1 quart every 1000 miles and there was exhaust smoke - I think I would look for causes and fix the problem.
  12. Loren
    Have you done a search here? I think not - there are lots of posts here on engine swaps and pluses and minuses of different options. Try searching the Boxster section for "engine swap".

    Check the resistance to ground on the left bulb socket - compare it to the right bulb socket. Chances are there is a short to ground somewhere.

    Any smoke? Could be worn valve guides.
  16. Loren
    A cracked head or blown head gasket can be replaced. If you have a porous block then the engine needs to be replaced (exchanged).

    You will need to point out which parts you mean...

    The switch is in the hood latch release.

    hi Loren, thanks for the answer. i just got the scanner from autozone. it now gives me P0507 idle control system rpm high, P1128 manufacturer control fuel air metering, and P1130 manufacturer control fuel air metering. The original code P0430(bank 2) is not showing at this time. now i am wondering if the bad cat. or oxygen sensor had triggered bad fuel/air mix which leads to high rpm (1200-1300) at idle or if i am in deep trouble. any thoughts?? P0507 Idle Air Control at Stop – Above Limit Idle speed too high. – Throttle valve is sticking – Leaks in intake air system P1128 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 1 – Above Limit P1130 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation, Idle Range, Bank 2 – Above Limit – Incorrect signal from MAF sensor – Intake air system leaking – Fuel pressure too low – Volume supply of fuel pump too low – Fuel injectors fouled – Exhaust system leaking

    If you CEL is on steady it is safe to drive the car. If the CEL is flashing then it should not be driven.
