Only dealers can access Porsche's database of repairs.

Read - Read - Read --- there are many other tips here and fall back solutions....

Try Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost) or try a salvage yard.

Strange... more trivia... a mistake or planned and never used? The only cruise light light that I know of is item 4 in the diagram above.

Try 4758 or 4756

Scouser has updated his outstanding VIN Decoder. The VIN Decoder is here. This is a major update and Scouser has added support for even more cars (CUPCARS, SPEEDSTER, CARRERA RS/RSR/NGT and more). Other key new features are: - New format now prints Body type, Model type, Cylinder, Displacement, Gearbox, Fuel system - Added support for Japan market. - Now differentiates US cars from Canada cars Many thanks to Scouser for his continued efforts, work, and updates to this fine tool! :clapping:

That list would likely change every month. That is why Porsche does updates to it's PET (parts system) every month. To some degree we already have that for Contributing Members... if you look up a part number in the US Retail Price Search (available to Contributing Members only) it will show you the replacement part number (for example if you search for the old coolant tank cap 99610644700 it will repsond with "SS 99610644701".This means that the part has been replaced with a new part number.). Not exactly a cross reference but it does make sure you are getting the latest part number.

Loren, just became a contributing member, where can I go to find the information? Thanks, VMAN Thank you for your donation. You can find it here: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...mp;showfile=694 The detailed description starts on page 45.

According to February 2008 PET - yes.

if you car is a narrow body - I think you want 996.616.101.00

There is a detailed description of the Sport Chrono Package Plus in the 2005 997 Product Introduction Book. This is available here for our Contributing Members. Here is a brief diagram overview from the article.

A Porsche rebuilt engine part number alway (as least all that I have seen) end in _X (i.e. BX or DX , etc.).

996.641.103.03.70C is a direct replacement for 996.641.103.01.70C. There should be little if any difference.

Try 5122 or 5120

Try 3080 or 3078

Yes, that is the way I read it.

As RFM said you will need the Durametric Software, a PST2 or PIWIS to reset the airbag light.

A few of the really good shops have it too - but it is quite expensive so I doubt many small shops have one. You could also find a shop with an older PST2 tester - it will work fine on your car and give the same diagnostics (on your model year) as a PIWIS. Most dealerships upgraded to PIWIS and then sold their PST2's to independent shops so they are much more plentiful.

:oops: Sorry, my comment above was for RoW 030 (don't know what I was thinking) -- for PSS9's it is the same for C4 and C4S.

:welcome: You say you checked the fuses - did you check the one on back of the radio? Is this a CDR-23? What year and model car please?

From Porsche's Technik Technical Information Book (when the 987 was introduced)... "A new tire generation with larger rolling circumferences has been developed for the new Boxster/S series to complement the new wheels. The primary aim in developing this new generation has been to achieve a marked improvement in the tires’ performance, thereby lending the Boxster an even sportier character. The tire circumference has been increased by 2.5% on the front axle and 5% on the rear axle. The larger rolling circumference increases the side wall height/tire width ratio in comparison with the previous Boxster (986) model to guarantee an appropriate level of comfort despite the larger wheels. At the same time, the tire widths on the rear axle of the new Boxster/S have been increased from the predecessor’s 16" / 225 mm to 17" / 235 mm. In the absence of the predecessor models’ 16/17" basic tires, the new 17/18" summer tires now serve as the comfort oriented tires. They offer high quality, sporty handling combined with good driving comfort. The 19" summer tire replaces the previous 18" tire when the focus is on sportiness and agility. It offers a substantial increase in performance. The new tires have permitted a noticeable increase in the amount of force that can be transmitted both in the longitudinal and transverse direction. This results in a high level of agility and, at the same time, driving safety. A reduction in the braking distance is possible with the new tires, particularly the 19" tires. These improvements are made possible above all by the specially selected rubber compound for the tires and the new tread design."
