    What is number 12 on the passenger side of the car? I thought that was the fill plug - probably good I didn't get it off.
  2. steve_wilwerding
    The fill plug for mine is right by the half shafts - I don’t think that’s the right area.
  3. steve_wilwerding
    Previous owner bunged up the 10mm transmission filler plug. I think the part number is WHT-001-937 - PET shows that as the part number for both the drain and fill plug, so I wanted to make sure they are the same.

    I'd like to replace the locking lug bolts on my 2004 Boxster SE with standard lug bolts, and am looking for the part number, which is likely 5 mm longer than standard because of the spacers.

    The previous owner had a radar detector installed (which is quite outdated) that I would like to remove, but they used the lower right dummy switch for the power. Can I just buy that switch? I know the cernter console has a part number, but hopefully I can just buy that little piece.

    They are two different cars - I guess my question is, is that rod still adjustable on the 981? This is what it looks like on a 986:
  8. steve_wilwerding
    On my 1998 986, I had a mechanic adjust the travel of the brake pedal - if I recall correctly, there is a shaft that is accessible underneath the brake reservoir. I absolutely loved the change - you had to push the brake pedal very little to get pad engagement. My new to me 981 has pretty long travel with the stock pads. Is this still something that can be adjusted?

    The seller's mechanic stated that it was due to low voltage from the battery, but they tested the battery at the time of the inspection, and it was charging fine. I really appreciate the advice - as you say, there are plenty more out there, so I'll keep looking!
  10. steve_wilwerding
    Thanks for the quick reply - I'm assuming these sorts of codes are atypical?
  11. steve_wilwerding
    I'm looking to buy a 2014 Boxster S, and I had a shop do a full inspection. They sent me the following OBD codes - are these anything to be concerned with, or are they just hiccups (or a battery change)?

    Hi Steve, I hope you don't mind me sending you a message directly but sounded like that you've changed your fuel vent line (at the intake manifold as there seems to be about 3 with similar part description) and wanted to pick your brain.  The part number I need to replace is 996.110.129.06 (I've got a 2004 Boxster S Anniversary Edition).  Anyway, how difficult was it to do this yourself?  I've got minimal experience but have been able to replace my AOS and starter, is it much more difficult than that?

      I'm really sorry that I just saw this - I don't login to Renntech very often.

       

      I'm sure you already have your answer, but it was a finicky job - hopefully you got yours in and it fixed your issue.

    That did it, and I got the vent line changed. Thanks!
  14. steve_wilwerding
    It's difficult to tell which side is up.
  15. steve_wilwerding
    I'm in the process of replacing the fuel vent line from the throttle body. Just above where it connects to the line on the car, it (along with three other lines) runs through a clasp. How do I get this open? It looks like the hinge is on the right side, but I can't see how to open it. This pic is just in front of the rear driver's tire looking up.
