  1. It's the fan inside your AC/heater system. Kind of a pain to get to - so do the tests first.
  2. Air injection is used on US/Canada cars to meet country emission standards. BTW.. this we we ask folks to to fill the location in their profile. So we get you the right answer for your country/location.
  3. I'm not sure. What I am after are the parts to replace the rear 'mudflap' pieces which is smoothly moulded to the body and is left over when you fit the aerokit sideskirts. Maybe there are also front ones normally? Perhaps someone can let me know. It's the bits shown here in figure 9 at the end. http://p-car.com/996/diy/aerokit/ regards They are on the front. Item 4? I will need to know for what model year too.
  4. Follow the manual.
  5. Fault code 31 -- Voltage too low, Voltage too high Potential causes: No control module fault stored. Supply voltage OK. Nominal blower voltage > 3 volts. Nominal blower voltage stabilized. Voltage too low Note - Voltage too low means that the measured blower voltage lies below the nominal blower voltage. 1. Check the heating activation relay. Battery positive voltage must be present at terminal 87 when the ignition is switched on. 2. Unplug connector C from the heating/air-conditioning control. 3. Connect voltmeter to C 14 (positive) and ground. Switch on ignition. Display: Battery voltage 4. Push connector C on the heating/air-conditioning control. 5. Connect voltmeter to C 14 (positive) and C 11 (negative). Maximum blower speed Display: approx. 12 V Minimum blower speed Display: approx. 0 V 6. Connect voltmeter to C 14 (positive) and C 16 (negative). Maximum blower speed Display: approx. 5 V Minimum blower speed Display: approx. 9 V 7. Check driver. Connect voltmeter to positive and pin 3 on driver connector. Display: Battery voltage Connect voltmeter to positive and pin 1 on driver connector. Maximum blower speed Display: approx. 5 V Minimum blower speed Display: approx. 9 V Connect voltmeter to positive and pin 2 on the driver connector. Maximum blower speed Display: approx. 12 V Minimum blower speed Display: approx. 0 V 8. Check wiring from heating/air-conditioning control to driver for continuity. 9. Check blower motor. Voltage too high Note - A higher blower voltage can only be caused by a short to ground on the wires to pins 1 or 2 of the driver. 1. Unplug connector C from the heating/air-conditioning control. 2. Unplug connector from the driver. 3. Connect ohmmeter to C 16 and ground. Display: infinite ohms 4. Unplug connector from the fan motor. 5. Connect ohmmeter to driver connector pin 2 and ground. Display: infinite ohms
  6. Your car should already have an air pump. This is standard for emission control.
  7. On both C4, C4S and MY02 and newer the fuel filter attaches to that piece.
  8. Okay now I am confused... you want a "Carrera" chrome logo for a Boxster? Or, you want a "Boxster" logo in chrome? Or?
  9. I don't recall one in chrome. You might try Performance Products.
  10. I am not sure that plastic to plastic needs any seal -- and the parts list does not show one either.
  11. I don't think there is anything special here - just unbolt and bolt in the new one. I don't think you will need to remove the lower ball-joint. The torque settings are below. And... you will probably want ot have the alignment checked too.
  12. You are correct there is no seal on the level switch. That is the correct (current) part number for an RoW MY99.
  13. I notice that a lot of the dismantlers charge a core charge also. What the heck are they doing with the engine cores? Reusing them? Yup, usually a good builder reuses parts that are within spec. So when the dismantler sells your old engine to a rebuilding shop they are expecting to reuse most of it.
  14. Can you tell us the item number please...
  15. Those Boxster type grills are not on 996 bumpers - and I doubt they would fit. I doubt they do anything anyway - just for looks.
  16. 996.612.070.04 wiring harness may work. That harness is for the Porsche Cabriolet "Carrera" spoiler. If your third party spoiler is a clone then it should work.
  17. 996.100.996.02 Engine -- (are you sitting down) MSRP $25940.43 An exchange engine is less than half that price - so if you could find an exchange it would help you out a lot.
  18. If it doesn't leak now - it will eventually. Porsche was supposed to change them on a next visit basis several years ago. A new cap is under $20.
  19. I show it as "out of stock" with no price at Amazon. The $183 is a 3rd party backup "pass through" Amazon. I think I would wait a few days and see if amazon gets it back in stock.
  20. From what you describe - yes, it could be the switch. Sometimes if you wiggle the switch some the light will come on and off - if so, then it is the switch.
  21. Loren: The viscosity issue is clear. But what is the GL desigation? Is this a new (revised) API SERVICE classification? (I know G signifies gas engines). I can not find this (GL) in the retail stores here. The widely available Mobil 1 is API SM,SL/CF. This is the one I have used and the service adviser at my dealer did not raise any concern. I would apperiate your response. :renntech: Porsche dropped that requirement in the April 2007 list - so I have edited the list.
  22. According to the troubleshooting in the OBD II manual you are starting at the end. Here is the troubleshooting they suggest: Secondary air injection pump is not triggered. Secondary air injection pump does not work. Air supply lines restricted. Electric change-over valve does not work. Air change-over valve does not work. Vacuum system leaks. Here is what they suggest recommend for solutions: - Wiring harness or fuse - Relay - DME control module - Air supply lines - Secondary air injection pump - Electric change-over valve - Air change-over valve
  23. Exchange or non-exchange? 6 Speed or Tip?
  24. There is a different wire harness for the wing electrics for a fixed wing car - and it varies by exact model. You need to tell us the model and model year of your car. As well, what fixed wing? Porsche or 3rd party?
