  1. Search here on this board for Kluster. Then Cluster. And maybe a few other names. I think the local group might have filmed it. Ask Henry since he had the camera that day. The faces just peel off.
  2. The rear sensor for the Boxster, 996, and GT3 have the same part number. Sounds like the hole on your aftermarket pads are not the right size. Take a drill to it if you really want the sensors. This is the hole on the front pads from a Boxster. The hole on the rear is identical.
  3. I wish someone would go to an OPC and talk to someone who knows something. Have that someone look at the wiring diagram and confirm that the lighter is wired the same for all years and all countries. Then show that someone the owners manual. Porsche sell a maintainer you cannot use in the lighter. In the UK if the lighter is not live then they hook it up to the battery. When this subject comes up on the UK board there are usually several reports, live not not live. The thought was that the older cars were not live, despite what the owners manual says. The simple solution is to replace the switched positive wire to the lighter with a wire that is live all the time.
  4. I have been on the UK Boxster board for several years. This comes up once in a while when someone wants to buy a maintainer. For some reason on some UK cars the lighter is live all the time and on some cars the key must be turned on. No sense to have a maintainer if the key has to be on. In the US all cars are live. The wiring daiagrams do not show a difference for different countries so it is a mystery.
  5. You are not the first person with a replacement engine and the replacement leaked. If you have the original clutch with 35,000 miles then you might as well replace it since it is not a warranty item - normal wear and tear like tires or brake pads. Since the transmission and clutch has to come out if the seal needs to be replaced or something else, then your cost for a new clutch is the price of the parts. How long a clutch lasts depends on how you drive the car. Your dealer can put a dye in the oil and determine the source of an oil leak.
  6. That is why Porsche says to remove the bumper cover, but you can do it with it on. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...t=0entry12183
  7. I do not know how to tell from a serial number if the engine is rebuilt, or if you can tell. I know how to tell from the part number. The part numbers start with 986. This is 2 pictures of boxes the engines come in. The first is 986 100 924 FX for a 3.2 manual transmission. Letter X at the end of the part number mean it is a rebuilt. The second is the engine that went into my friend Jean's car. The number is 986 100 922 03. The last 2 digits are numbers, not letters, so Jean's replacement engine was new. Like you Jean had the seal replace 4 times on his 2000 and then Porsche ultimatelly put in a new engine. Jean was a unique case. After 4 leaky seals Porsche put in 3 rebuilt engines and each of the rebuilts had a vibration problem. Then Porsche ageed to put in a new engine and that is the one in the second picture. Is their a part number on your invoice? Most likely it will be a rebuilt, due to the age of your car.
  8. Do you have the part number for the replacement engine.
  9. Sent the diagrams. If you do not put the pins in the wrong holes you will not need the extractor.
  10. I still have it for a 2000 996 and Boxster.
  11. Per the above the car computer (DME) has a fault, and they are expensive. Ask if there is a rebuilt unit.
  12. What are you trying to figure out and why. Do you want to used the 6 channel amp for rear speakers. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3389
  13. I have never done a cruise control retrofit. The pins on a #009 wire are 999 652 901 22. I have never been able to determine the part number for the pins on a #010, but would like to know if someone has it. On a 1998-2001 996 the pins on a #010 wire go into the cluster plug, like we do for an OBC retrofit. The pins on a #009 wire go into the male connector that plugs into the female OBC connector. I think the #009 pins also fit the male connector for the cruise control stalk, but check because the last time I looked at the male connector was a year ago at the parts department. I do not know if you need the pins for a #010 to do a cruise control retrofit. I have never played around with the Motronic plug so I do not know what pins fit in it.
  14. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2429 You can add the CDC-4 changer at the same time. You just need the correct fiber optic kit. Loren has the part numbers somewhere on this board.
  15. The fiber optic based MOST system started in 2003. I do not know of any interface other than an FM modulator, which is what you folks do not want.
  16. The part number you gave is called a vent line. There is also another part in that area also called a vent line - so I guess that is it. Do not know what it does.
  17. There should be a white option sticker under the front trunk lid. A duplicate sticker should also be in the maintenance booklet.
  18. I know how to open those pesky ABS valves without any fancy equipment. :lol:
  19. Ferry's Ghost was when the windows went down for no reason after the car was locked with the windows up, due to a bad control unit under the seat. You came back to your car hours later and the windows were down. This was on the early Boxsters. If this is starting to happen again on the newer cars then Ferry might not be happy with the Cayman name....
  20. The car is sold around the world. So the clusters are not all the same. Even in North America there is a USA and Canada cluster. Canada is metric and we are still in the dark ages. It is not the plug or wiring. It is the electronics inside the cluster and the gauge faces. I can put a metric cluster in my US car. The cluster does not know if it is for a 5 or 6 speed manual transmission, unless you get into the AWD cars. A triptronic cluster however is different because it has the gear indicators. And keep in mind the new style cluster like is on your model year 2004 went into production in 2001, and in 2002 on the 996. The original style cluster will not work on a car made for the new style. Then there there might be the MOST issue for a 2003-2004. We have the part list for the world so if you see one you are interested in we might be able to look it up.
  21. And your model year is....? In the old days we use to call this called this Ferry's Ghost.
  22. Now that the link works and I can see a few more pictures they are from a 996. Now that the auction is over someone (not me) who is on this board bought them.
  23. The clutch is made by Sachs so there is nothing to gain from buying it from Porsche. If you want to buy it from Porsche then check with Sunset Imports in Oregon. I even see them from time to time on ebay. If your vibration is from the flywheel then that is an expensive part.
  24. No. The guy who did it had a picture of the side but I did not save it. There were some plastic prongs on the edge to hold it in place I seem to remember.
  25. Someone pulled it off to repaint it.
