    Jeff What is described on "whiteson.org/boxster/mods/obc/" seems very straightforward, and the fact that Paul Marsh's garage shows that he did the mod recently using the switch, inspired me to have a go. Are you saying that it can't be done with the switch? Are the wiring instructions wrong? Those instructions basically show a toggled earth connection to pin 21 for the mode-up signal or to pin 25 for the reset. (Mine is a 98 car). PLEASE let me know as soon as you can if this is wrong.

    Sorry Chaps, panic over, I just found Yoseif's DIY page. If anyone else wants the info it is at: http://www.whiteson.org/boxster/mods/obc/

    Brilliant! - thank you very much.

    Guys TP - Is there a DIY for this? Paul Marsh - Could you give details of the button and wiring connections you used? Thanks

    Loren. Do you have a list of Porsche DME fault codes? I don't mean the OBD2 codes, but the ones that are referred to in the workshop manual. The only manual I have access to is an early one, and I wondered if they have issued an appendix with a decent list of codes. I have DME error codes 27 and 35, which correspond to OBD2 codes P1123 and P1125. Thing is, the CEL doesn't come on and the car runs perfectly at all times. I think the fault must be intermittent and doesn't exist for long enough for the CEL to come on. I was hoping the Porsche codes might give me a bit more of a clue.

    Porsche Integrated Workshop Information System. It is the Porsche version of the Bosch KTS650.

    You can read the radio code with a PST2, so it would mean a trip to the dealer.

    Try www.mytyres.co.uk - select the tyre size and speed rating to search, select the tyre you are interested in, and click on the reifentest.com link. They give grip and wear ratings for most of the N-rated tyres. (Note: 1=best 6=worst). You can get to the site via www.tyretest.com but doesn't seem to include info for some tyres (P-Zero Rossos, for example) I doubt if you would get 30k miles from the fronts of a C4, as they tend to wear more than the C2 and Boxster. 8500 from the rears is pretty poor. I got 12000 from a set of rear Conti's on my 993, with some spirited driving on our winding English roads. Is the wear perfectly even? - they might have scrubbed out early if the alignment wasn't correct. You should get this checked at least once every couple of years, although lots of people have it done annually.

    If you look in the 996 TSB's, there is one for dashboard noises - it's 9 pages long!! There are others for all sorts of internal squeaks and rattles!!

    Wolfgang Is the LED single or double-flashing? If there is a fault with the system you will get a single beep from the alarm horn when you lock the car, and the LED will double-flash. HTH

    Thanks chaps, It is obviously based on the Bosch KTS650, which has network capability. The old PST2 was based on the Bosch KTS500, which became obsolete about 18 months ago. Jeff - do you know if the latest version of the PST2 software includes the 997 and new Boxster? Thanks again

    Has anyone seen the PIWIS? Is it notebook based, like the PST2?
  13. Richard Hamilton
    Yes, I understand that. The post 2002 cars (both 996 and Boxster) have the fly-by-wire throttle etc. Both the Boxster S and the 996 engine I am talking about are 2003 models. I would like to think that it is simply a case of getting the DME from the 996 and plugging it into the Boxster, but I can't imagine it will be that easy. I'd really like to know if anyone has done this conversion, and can anyone recommend a company that produces a kit to do-it-yourself. The way his post read, I thought that maybe "Eurospeed" was such a supplier.

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. The car is a 2003 Boxster S, and the engine is a 2003 3.6L 996. What my friend is looking for is a kit to do the conversion, particularly the electronics. If you can help, please let me know. Thanks

    Hi All I have a friend with a '03 Boxster 3.2 S, who wants to fit a 3.6L engine from a '03 996 which he has available to him. The mechanical aspect seems fairly straightforward, but his concern is the electonics. Has anyone here done this conversion? The DME version is the same for both engines and the inputs are the same for both, but the outputs are a bit different. If anyone had some first hand experience they could share it would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone has the wiring diagrams for the DME of both engines it would be nice to see them. Thanks
