    Hi all, Have an 08 boxster project car. Ordered a front hood from ebay advertised as 2005-2012 hood for 911,Boxster,Cayman. Are these hoods transferable with all these models. I eye balled it ... Doesn't look like a fit. Thanks V

    Can I see it with my durametric?

    My 08 boxster displays both TPC and PSM inactive. I believe 2 tire sensors have failed.. since only 2 tires are reading pressure the other 2 just are blank. Just wondering if this would cause the PSM to shut down as well. Thanks v

    Said it was like putting your finger on a straw to stop additional brake fluid from coming out. Urban myth?

    Ok thanks ...and block the brake pedal?

    Hi All, Going to paint my calipers...2008 Boxster Base. It would be much easier to remove them for the job. Any better way to do this, I'd like to get them all off at once, clean, paint and re-install. I read to engage and block the brake pedal to not lose a lot of fluid(going to do a fluid flush anyway). Is it the regular flush/bleed procedure with my brake bleed kit? No PIWIS needed? Thanks Vince

    Thats what I was thinking. Thanks

    I need to refill my expansion tank after replacing it. I only siphoned out the coolant in the tank and did a tank replacement. Lost dribbles of coolant from the hose that has the quick connector, other hoses were pretty dry when detached. My question... can I just fill the expansion tank with the bleed valve open or do I have to pull vacuum and fill it that way with my venturi set up.? Seems like a bit much considering I'm only replacing the coolant that was in the tank. Thanks v

    Ok, so I found a fairly thick o ring left over after reassembling the MAF tube. I assumed it went between the MAF tube and air box but now it seems very tight for the 2 spring clips to snap in place didn't want to force them. Am I seating it incorrectly ?

    Cleaned out bottom of the air box, MAF and MAF tube.....no more stalling and delayed acceleration. Was an easy fix except for the 5 point security screws for the MAF.....what are they thinking.
  14. vza
    Yes it was full of oil. I cleaned the plenums all the way to the flex tube going into the MAF. I only recently removed the MAF tube to find oil in the bottom of the air box. Ill clean it out and spray the maf with cleaner see if it helps. V

    Looked like dirty motor oil. Did it migrate there from my bad AOS? Would it cause delayed acceleration and stalling? Thanks v
  16. vza
    08 boxster...after a hand full of repairs including AOS and throttle body cleaning my car had sluggish delayed acceleration and would stall while idling. I pulled the tube that houses the MAF and found some oil droplets in the screen and evidence of oil on the MAF (not on the wire sensor) but in and around it. I also noticed a puddle of oil downstream of the MAF in the air box tube ....would this be the cause of my problem. Should I give the tube a good cleaning and spray the MAF w/Maf cleaner and see if that works. Thanks V

    Ugh...Seems I stopped the oil leak by replacing RMS and IMS gasket. Also installed new fly and clutch. Went for a test drive all was good then 20 mins into the drive I started to experience what seemed to be the trans slipping not too sure. Happens around 2000-2500 rpm feels the rev limiter kicking in. I loose power then it grabs and takes off. Happens in all gears. Don't know what it is. Can't really tell if its the trans or something with the engine. Praying I don't have to pull the trans again. Wasn't doing any of this before pulling the trans. I also was driving a little aggressively... wasn't aware of any break in period for new clutch. After further investigation I think it's an engine issue. If I rev the engine when parked the engine sputters then catches up....doesn't stall but sounds like it is. Maybe I disturbed something while doing the trans job. Still...any thoughts would help.

    Hi, Need the torque specs for 08 boxster rear drop link and stabilizer. Stabilizer to frame 48 Ft Lbs Drop Link to Shock 63 Ft Lbs Drop End Link ?(I found 34/48 and 56) Thanks V
  19. vza
    OK good. Thanks V
  20. vza
    I finally got it in. Best to walk away and try the next day. What about the clutch slave. The boot fell off and I just set the push rod back and stuck the boot back on. The push rod didn't snap in or anything just sat there. Is that all good?
  21. vza
    Havin a hell of a time getting the gear box to mate with the engine. In any event I decided to remove the slave cause it was in the way and I didn't like how the hydraulic line was sitting.... seemed twisted. So in removing the slave the dust boot came off and stayed with the Trans. The pushrod has a ball on the end but didn't snap into the slave I just set it in there and slid the boot back on . Is that correct? Thanks v
  22. vza
    Done...
  23. vza
    Got it...just sits. Thanks for all the quick replies.v
  24. vza
    Ok...thanks...how about that washer behind the guide tube...sorry I only want to pull the tranny once
  25. vza
    Ok but the nut is on and torqued to 7.5 already so should I remove it and do all the adhesives over again or just torque it down to 14 without redoing it all. Washer just sits behind guide tube? Thanks
