    Decoding an engine VIN

    Loren replied to The MotorMan's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)

    No the two numbers are completely unique. That should be the original engine as is wa built in 1997.

    If you PM me your VIN I can check and see what your car came with. Though, the springs could have been changed by previous owner (if there was one).
  9. Loren
    Color codes front to rear are different. They are also different depending on RoW or US/Canada springs (ride height). They are also different depending on coupe or cabriolet -and whether you have a manual (6-speed) or Tiptronic.

    Unable to find my EVAP diagram

    Loren replied to Ted Campton's topic in 986 Series Part Number Requests

    P0446 EVAP Canister Shutoff Valve (Function) – Below Limit Possible causes: – Purge air line blocked – Flow resistance of EVAP canister too high

    Unable to find my EVAP diagram

    Loren replied to Ted Campton's topic in 986 Series Part Number Requests

    P0486 ? That does not show in any of factory service manuals. Are you using a Porsche specific tester? There were at least 5 different EVAP canisters used in Boxsters. You may end up having to add parts to put a working system together. Give your dealer your VIN and they should be able to guide to the replacement parts to make it work.

    Two beeps means there is an alarm fault - one beep means there is an open zone. You need a Porsche specific scan tool tester to get the fault code(s) and diagnose what is needed to repair. An excellent Porsche specific scan tool is Durametric but a few other tools may work as well.
  16. Loren
    The seat belt and grounding issues were fault codes 45, 46, 48 and 49 - per the TSB. This fault 28 which is the drivers side (door) airbag.
  17. Loren
    You need a special Porsche airbag test fixture to test airbags - I wouldn't go there. You can check the wire going to the airbag to make sure they are not pinched or broken in the door panel fitting. Do this with the key out of the ignition and the battery disconnected.
  18. Loren
    Fault codes 12, 13, 28, 29, 40 - Ignition circuit, driver's side airbag Possible cause of fault: - Short circuit to B+/grouncl or open circuit in the wiring between the driver's side airbag unit and the airbag triggering unit - Driver's side airbag faulty

    EVAP leak - most common is a worn o-ring on the gas cap. For your ABS error - check this first.

    Alarm chirps and Locking chirps sound very different. Which is yours? a normal locking sound?
  24. Loren
    If you have two alarm chirps when locking then you have an alarm fault. You should also have alarm fault codes - please post the codes.
