    Since this is the best Porsche OBD II tool we have found (short of spending thousands of dollars on a PST2 or PIWIS) I thought it would be good to show folks what comes in the Professional Kit. I assume everyone that buys a Durametric Professional Kit gets what I got... Nice carrying case and what is inside You get the Software CD and short install instructions. 4 Porsche specific OBD II cables (clockwise from the top left): cable for early 993, 964, 944S2, 968, 928 with older round connector, cable for later model 993 with OBD II standard connector, special adapter cable for use on 2002-2008 factory race cars with Motronic 3.1, and the standard OBD II cable for all the 9x6, 9x7, and Cayenne cars. Of course the Enthusiast Package would include only the standard OBD II cable for all the 9x6, 9x7, and Cayenne cars and the Software CD. These folks have really come a long ways in providing a great tool for Porsche shops and enthusiasts (like us :) ) - IMHO

    Well, if it has been sitting for 15 years then I would replace the brake fluid, transmission oil, oil/filter, and tires. And if gas has been sitting in the tank then you likely want to drain it and have the tank professionally cleaned inside. I would also likely change the spark plugs, and adjust the valves. Check the brake discs for signs of rust or corrosion. PM me the VIN and I'll see what I can find on it.

    :welcome: Sorry, I am confused is it a turbo or a 911S? and, I assume you were not trying to run the 15 year old gas?

    Autozone does for sure you have them there.

    The the owners likely swapped them out with headlights from a 996 (easy to do). 744 is body color in Metallic Black. C50 is convertible top in Graphite Grey. If you order a Porsche you can specify the top color from a list of available colors (usually at least 4 colors). Many times dealers order cars to show (and sell) on their lot in popular colors and options.

    Are you in the US? Most US auto parts stores will loan you an OBD II code reader.

    Any fault codes? I would start by cleaning the throttle body and idle control valve (ICV). Both have been covered here.

    Boxster folks correct me if I misspeak here... 1. Only Boxster's with Litronics have clear front lights. The clear rear lights did not begin until MY03. 2. You could order a Boxster with almost any color top.

    Remove air inlet 1. Lift up air inlet 1 at the front edge evenly using an assembly wedge, disengage and pull forwards out of the air duct. Remove retaining clips 3. Unscrew sheetmetal screws 2 and pull off retaining clips 3. If necessary, the tabs on the clips must be bent upwards using a screwdriver beforehand. The retaining clips must be replaced for installation. Pull off seal 4. Pull off seal 4. Pull off spring clips 5. Push on seal 4. Check seal 4 and spring clips 5 , replace if necessary. Attach spring clips 5 to the air inlet. Push seal 4 onto the air inlet. Install retaining clips 3. Put new retaining clips 3 onto the tabs of the side section and align evenly in the lug bores. Screw in sheetmetal screws 2. Install air inlet 1. Check lugs (arrows) on the air inlet 1 for damage, replace air inlet if necessary. Insert air inlet 1 in the air duct and engage evenly into the retaining clips. Check air inlet system on the side section and check the gap dimension. The air inlet system or the gap dimension can be corrected by undoing and shifting the spring clips.

    MY2002 is conventional radio/amp wiring. MY03 and newer uses MOST (fiber optic network) wiring. There is nothing even close to compare.

    Try 4653 or 4651 Hi. I'm afraid neither code works. Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    996.612.317.15 Left front harness -- US MSRP $348.88 Yes, on the MY02 and newer the right harness is part of the passenger compartment wiring harness. Very big and expensive (over $5000 MSRP). This is why I mentioned a salvage yard. Find the pieces you need and splice it in.

    The production date is printed on a sticker on the left hand door of every Porsche. Enter the VIN in Scouser's Porsche VIN decoder here. From his VIN help: "The 10th character position in the VIN and the 1st in the VIS is used to specify the manufacture year. The European Union does not require that a year code is implemented although Porsche does use it. In the USA and Canada however, the year code is compulsory. The year codes start at 1971 and use characters 1 through 9 up to 1979. From 1980 onwards the characters start at A and continue to Y for year 2000. 2001 restarts again at 1 to 9 until 2009 and then A through Z is for years 2019 onwards. Note that characters I, O, Q, U, and Z are not used. Note also, that Porsche did not introduce the 17 digit VIN code on their vehicles until 1980. It is important to understand that the manufacture year is in fact the year the vehicle was released from the factory and not necessarily the actual year of manufacture. For example, a 997 model 911 assembled in December of 2006 will likely show a manufacture year of 2007."

    From the service manual: Replacing microswitch and interior light Note: In the case of a defective microswitch, the complete wiring harness 4 must be replaced! 1. Remove the glove compartment. 2. On the retaining bracket 2, press the locking tabs apart. Guide out the microswitch 5. 3. Insert a plastic spatula into the side of the interior light and press out. Disconnect the electrical plug connection. Installing microswitch and interior light 1. Plug in the electrical plug connection of the interior light. Press the interior light 1 into the cut-out of the glove compartment. 2. Press the microswitch 5 into the retaining bracket 2. Note the coding of the microswitch. 3. To fit the glove compartment, engage the electrical lead 4 into the clip 3. 4. Install glove compartment. If you decide you want to do this let me know and I will post the glove compartment removal/installation procedure. It does not look very hard.

    Use you (mechanical) key to lock the car. Then use your key to unlock the car. Then try to start it. If that does not work... does the engine crank?
