I would dive into it a bit and you should be able to get an idea. Take the bottom kick panels off both sides and take a look underneath with a flashlight. I'd leave the battery connected and once you have the servo out, you can plug in the wiring again and adjust the temperature, then see if the arm will move. Also, I did not need to do any adjustments to put them in service position. Just pulled it out and then moved the flap with my finger so it was in the same position as the new arm I was installing.1 point

You dont need to put servos into service position. When you buy them, theyre in position ready to install, but you have to make sure each servo is attached to the arm properly, as you install.1 point

The online manuals show the layout of the servos in chapter HVAC.pdf, from about page 35 on. These diagrams provide adequate information on positioning of the servos for re-installation. It doesn't matter where they are for removal. You can adjust the arms on your bench with a small 12v power source and a couple of leads. Contacts 1 and 2 can be teased to operate the servo motor. Reverse the contacts to reverse the motor until you have each in the position it's shown in the diagram. Then positioning of the servos becomes the least of your problems. Don't start the job without a set of long torqx screwdrivers and a tiny ratchet with assorted torqx bits. My experience in replacing the servos on a 2004 CS with left hand drive may not translate directly to a car with right hand drive, but I wrote about it at https://rodcroskery.wordpress.com/category/2004-porsche-cayenne-review (reverse chronological order September 18, 2016) and posted comments on page one of this discussion.1 point

Got a 2006 987 Boxster two weeks ago and this past weekend was my first longer drive (275 miles). The day after (and after a fill up), the first startup of the day was a puff of white smoke from the exhaust for about 15 seconds. This didn't look like your typical condensation vapor. There was a faint smell of gas that also went away after about 15 seconds. Throughout the day nothing at all and the next day the same thing. I drove it back home (another 275 miles and other fill up) and the following day nothing at all besides an even more faint gas smell. No change in power, no rough idle, no warning lights, no drop in coolant levels or leaks that i can see. Also no spatter in the engine compartment of liquids. Could it be a clog in the fuel line that was pushed out, bad gas the first time or something else?1 point
