    :welcome: The is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) that covers this. "After replacing the battery, check if the remote control functions. If the remote control does not function, the processor could have stopped. If this is the case, the LED of the remote control either does not light when the button is pressed or it lights continuously, i.e., longer than length of time the button is pressed. The processor must be restarted." "2. Restarting the processor. 2.1 Remove battery as described under Step 1.2. 2.2 Inserting battery briefly with polarity reversed. 2.2.1 After a waiting time of at least 10 seconds, slide battery with the polarity of the battery reversed (positive terminal downwards) under the tab (Figure 1, arrow 2). 2.2.2 Clip battery downward into the holder. 2.2.3 After a waiting time of approx. 3 seconds, remove this incorrectly polarized battery again. 2.3 Install battery as described under Step 1.3. 2.4 Check the function of the remote control."

    Um... Joe has a Cayenne S not a Boxster. I don't think Mike has anything on Cayenne's. Cayenne drain plan - sliding roof Cayenne drain plan - panorama roof

    The switch is on the light housing in the front trunk.

    :welcome: Did you try our search feature? How to Remove the Front Bumper
  6. Loren
    Try 2786 or 2784
  7. Loren
    Yes, that part number is likely it.

    Thanks Loren, I hadn't thought about trying an indy. Since I am up in Truckee I would probably be looking for a shop down in the Roseville or Rocklin area near the dealer. I have not had any luck with Porsche service in Northern Nevada so I usually go to the dealer in Rocklin. Do you have any recomendations for a independent shop in that area? Well, you could always buy all your parts/fluids and come to one our work on cars days and we can give you a hand doing it yourself. I do have a PST2 (and PIWIS and Durametirc) so we can run all the tests etc.

    Try 4457 or 4455 neither number worked....any other suggestions, Loren? Did you read the FAQ? Lost Radio Code - FAQ, PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

    See the How to Remove the Front Bumper DIY in the 996 DIY section - a TT bumper is pretty much the same.

    For a 2000 Boxster the best you can do in factory radios is the CDR-220. All the 986 series (and 996 series) radios are made for Porsche by Becker. None are very good - but if you want OEM go with the CDR-220.

    www.durametric.com

    1. Yes, IMHO that is outrageous. 2. Well, you likely want to do the plugs soon - not from mileage from age. Why not take the car to an independent shop get the 30 K done and ask them to note any items that should be fixed under warranty? Then have the dealer fix the warranty items.
  14. Loren
    The Durametric software can read the actual value for the throttle position - so that is the least expensive option. Of course a PST2 or PIWIS can also read this.
  15. Loren
    Are you taking about the battery cover hold down screws? (item 11)
  16. Loren
    The only way I know id to plug in a PST2 (or PIWIS) and then see if it offers to calibrate the top.
  17. Loren
    For the pollen filter cover: 999.500.092.00 Nut (rubber coated) -- US MSRP $2.94 each Not sure what the other two screws you are asking about are? Are the in the footwell? Are they in the carpet or in the heater mechanism?
  18. Loren
    Nope, you don't use that with the B&M shifter.
  19. Loren
    Just go down the list and check everything on the list - sign and date it. If you don't feel comfortable doing that then get an indie to do it - but you will need to pay them. Keep their receipt with your car records.

    Is this green part easy to identify? Any other peculiarity I need to be aware of? I am doing the instal on my 01 Boxster (5 speed)? Thanks, Gus Yes, it will be the only green part you see (unless you find a very old french fry ;) ) Neither Tool Pants nor I have ever been able to figure out why some cars have it and some don't - and what it used for (other than keeping french frys and the like out of the shifter).
  21. Loren
    The only difference in the "Porsche method" is that they leave the cable ends on the cables. They pry the ball joint off the main shifter and detach the reverse cable connector. Either way will work.
  22. Loren
    Try 4457 or 4455
  23. Loren
    Ok, P0140 makes more sense. Are the connectors/wires good? Are the new sensors the right part?
  24. Loren
    I am confused P0410 is: Secondary Air Injection System - Signal Implausible (Cylinders 1 - 3). That code usually means the secondary air pump is not triggered - not O2 sensors. P1117 and P1121 1. Remove connector of 02 sensor 1/2 after catalytic converter. 2. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pins 1 and 2. Display: 1.8 - 2.5 ohms at 20°C. 3. Connect ohmmeter on pin side to pin 1 and 02 sensor housing. Display: infinite ohms
