    You can disconnect the wires and test the lights - but it is likely the switch. It's not hard to replace - just a little hard to reach.

    Good to know. Since its new to me I dont need to point out the obvious that I never got a post card. I'm going to have to go back and give them hell since they saw the car last summer. I put the car into service and I'm not seeing a compliance notice. How wonderful. My seal isnt cracked like slb's cap, but I suppose I could investigate the fuel vent. Any quick way to test that? If the seal leaks bad enough it will cause a CEL.

    Is there anything on the ICV that needs cleaning on an egas car? I dismantled mine and it looks quite different from the non egas ones. Mine looks like a round disc. I ended up just cleaning the throttle body which solve the problem anyway. eGas cars do not have an ICV. The idle is controlled by small movements of the throttle butterfly - so IMHO it is more important on an eGas car to keep the throttle body and butterfly clean.

    Well it is up to you. We suggest the dampers but I've heard of folks reusing them - worst case you will have some squeal. If the sensors turned on the brake pad light then one or more of them will have to be replaced (or jumpered). You would need to look a the pin and spring to see if they are worn.

    Same transmission in my Mercedes CLK55 AMG and Mercedes says "Electronically controlled five speed automatic transmission 722.6 is filled with a newly developed special transmission fluid and is considered to be "filled for life", ie: does not require fluid level checking or fluid change during scheduled maintenance procedures." So I guess Porsche, BMW, and Mercedes are all wrong? Each person is entitled to their own opinion -- but it is just that -- "your opinion". I am not starting an argument - I am just stating that each person needs to make their own decision on items like this.

    Sorry, that is not a good part number. The latest tank for a MY00 Boxster is: 996.106.147.07
  9. Loren
    Thanks! :thumbup:
  10. Loren
    Yes.
  11. Loren
    Those part numbers do not come up anywhere that I can find. Are you sure those are the part numbers?

    Porsche says 90,000 miles. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?a...de=maint_us_add

    Did you check D8 and E6 also? D8 is the radio and D9 is the other audio option package. E6 is the CD Changer fuse.

    If you have a laptop computer buy the Durametric Software. It can read codes and reset them - plus a lot of other useful information. http://www.durametric.com

    What is the last part number of the tank you have? There have been 4 or 5 tanks.

    The gas cap problem was a mandatory US Recall. So the original owner should have got a postcard and the next visit to any dealership should have had it replaced. They were also required to put a recall compliance sticker on the underside of the engine cover. I got mine replaced in July 2002.

    Esso ATF LT 71141 is correct Porsche Part Number: 999.917.547.00

    Anything different of you jiggle the key in the ignition? If so, it is likely the switch.
  19. Loren
    I would look at the heat shield on that side first then the muffler.
  20. Loren
    Try locking the car using the key - then unlock it using the key. Try to start it again. Then see if the symptoms change...

    There are both acceleration sensors and level sensors in the rollover control circuit. Sounds like like you were hit hard enough to lift the car high enough to trigger the level sensor(s). You can have a dealer or shop with a PST2 or PIWIS tester check and see what sensor (or condition) triggered the rollover bars activation. They need to read the "Events" section of the rollover protection controller.

    I don't think there is an exact cut off but it will not have MY04 or MY05 for sure. Like Porsche's service manuals they are constantly adding to the features support. IMHO you really want version 24 if you are planning on any programming changes.

    Potential causes for P1119: - Contact resistance. - Heating resistance too high. - Open circuit in heating current circuits. - Open circuit in H02S signal wire. - Short to B+ (output stage cut off). I would check the wiring going to your MAF sensor too.

    You need to remove the speaker covers to get at the BOSE mounting screws.
