After months of research and diagnostics, it was determined that the valve body on my 2013 CS, (207k miles), needed replacing. I have the new valve body but I have also read that I should, (must), replace the mounting bolts. Problem is I cannot find any reference to the bolts on any part sites. No part numbers or anything. I know they are a very low torque value +90* but I a very wary of reusing the old ones. Does anyone know a part number or a source for these bolts? Thanks Shaun

That's really cool! My '99 986 recently just stopped shifting into gears and I've just started going down the troubleshooting rabbit hole. I'll definitely add this to my smoking gun list (give this a try and see if it fixes you problem list)! Thanks for posting! -

Thank you for these guides. Based on what is observed it refers me now to Chapter 11 (0-142). Is this information available? Odd thing is that after clearing the transmission fault codes, they have not yet reappeared. I will go through the steps here and I may also try to remove and replace the filter and ATF this weekend. I’m also looking for a local mechanic as my regular place does not work on Tiptronic transmissions. -
Here are your troubleshooting guide(s)... P1818.pdf P1823.pdf

Durometric pulled Tiptronic P1818 and P1823 codes after I was unable to shift into any gear on my Boxster. There has never been any issues whatsoever with the transmission. However, while parking my car the previous night, I accidently turned off the car while in Drive. - At the dash with engine started, the dash correctly displays proper gear to match the shift lever, but the car does not budge. - The mechanical linkage at the rear is all connected. - I checked fluid level and and some fluid did come out at the fill area but the fluid is very dark with NO burnt smell. - I reset the Tiptronic fault codes and later disconnected the battery for 30+ minutes to no avail. --- Also, odd thing is that the Tiptronic fault codes no longer return after reset. They show green state. My local shop says they don't work on Tiptronics. I read I can R&R the ATF and Filter and I am considering that myself. However, I need a plan of attack. I live in Riverside County California. Please advise. Thanks.

My vehicle is pulling to the right, not a lot but notiable Alignment, four wheel: While up on the rack we Inspected steering and suspension system components. It was suggested, Connect alignment equipment to verify, and adjust front and rear wheel alignment settings , for caster, camber, and toe in/out settings. thrust angle where applicable and center steering wheel. Some vehicles may require installation of alignment shims. This can be done at one of your local Porsche maintenance shops. Im having it done for $234.70, since I don't have the equipment or knowledge to do myself. The price was right. Strut/Shock Bump Stop Assembly, front: I need to remove and replace front shock absorber bump stops, strut bearings/strut mounts. After 54k miles they are showing large cracks. I was quoted $1627.48. I have a friend in the neighborhood who is himself a pretty good mechanic. I think we can get this done for much less $$$ ourselves. On my last inspection they found nothing wrong with the rear suspension components. no unusual wear in the rear tires, but they were replaced before I purchased the vehicle. I will definitely keep my eyes open to the rear tire wear now. -
I have had the same leak, at the same place. I just purchased a 2005 Boxster automatic 54k miles about a month ago. When I drove home and parked it overnight there was a small puddle passenger rear side. I looked up under the vehicle and the overflow hose was wet. I went to the trunk and there was a black cap on the expansion tank. I replaced it right away with the Blue .04 Cap. I wiped the residual coolant off the strut below the overflow hose and drove it around. I came back no leak. I thought I solved the problem, not....I took it to the dealer in town and had some overdue service's performed. They were supposed to do a pressure test on the cooling system, drain and refill. I found out later after multiply leaks that he considered the vacuum a positive test. That cost me and aggravated the hell out of me. I took it to another dealer in town. He preformed a pressure test and found it was the expansion tank leaking. I went back to the other dealer and talked to the owner. He said it was his mistake and will pay for the replacement of the expansion tank and the labor he charged me to empty and refill the system. This comimg Tuesday after replacing the expansion tank they will preform an other pressure test to see if the rest of the closed loop is ok.

Hello Members. I have a recent purchase 2018 Cayenne Platinum and experiencing a failed Bose amp due to roof leak. I’ve purchased the same used Bose amp model 4G5035223E from Ebay. After install, I can only get sound on the driver side. I have a scanner iCarsoft POR V3.0 but I don’t see any fix from it. A friend of mine has PIWIS 3 available but I have never used one prior. Does anyone know the fix to the above? (also.. I’ve already transferred the CMOS chip from the original amp onto the Ebay unit hoping it would satisfy the thief protection feature… but no dice. ☹) I appreciate the help!!!!!! -
hi Flat6Miami. did you ever get the amp working? I'm in the exact situation as your post. 5/8/26. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Tks. Anly

Hi Loren, Had to replace my old stereo and just got the following: Becker model BE 2182 / CR 210 Serial number V5004695 Can you help me out with a code? Much appreciated.

Thanks much appreciated will do

The easiest and probably cheapest way as well is to add a small amount of coolant compatible UV dye to the system and run the engine for a bit. The dye will leave a highly visible (with a UV light source) trail to exactly where it is coming from. We use this technique regularly in the shop to trace difficult leak sources. -
and another underneath all three hoses at the manifold (rotated to get the proper orientation -- I think)
