    It is probably best to put the car on a lift and pull the bottom cover so you can see where it is leaking. I've actually seen one of the metal lines leak that was damaged by a road hazard -- or an off-road experience ;)

    Check the gas cap seal first then go after the cannister purge valve. If both are okay then it be the MAF (reading less air that actual).
  3. Loren
    Yes, but elsewhere in that TSB you will find: If you use 5 mm spacer (with any wheel or tire) your existing bolts will be 5 mm too shorter. This means that there will be 5 mm less thread contact to hold the wheel on. Porsche sells the 5 mm spacers with the longer (5 mm longer) bolts. I would not use the 5 mm spacers without the 5 mm longer bolts.

    P1123 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Lean Threshold P1125 Oxygen Sensing Adaptation Area 1 (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Lean Threshold These codes say your mixture is too rich for the DME to control (it has reached it leaning threshold). The O2 sensors are reporting the problem - they are not likely the cause. This could be something as simple as an open EVAP canister purge valve.
  5. Loren
    The 5mm spacers require a longer wheel bolt. The 17mm spacers have bolts to the rotor/hub and then you use your original bolts to bolt the wheels to the 17mm spacers.

    Yes, these parts will fit MY97 to MY04 Boxster (986 series).

OR you can order the first two (armrest cover and handle trim) in one package: 000.044.800.88

    5 mm front and rear or 5 mm front and 17 mm rear (with specified tire and wheel sizes).
  10. Loren
    The car should not be driven with a flashing cell. Have someone like Autozone read your codes for free and report back here.
  11. Loren
    Hava look at the announcment in any forum How to become a Contributing Member.

    You will find approved spacers as well as wheels and tires in TSB 2/04 4440 Summer Tire and Wheel Summary -- dated May 25, 2004. As a Contributing member you can read that in the TSb section here.
  13. Loren
    No, it should be disconnected and taped.

    Options tags were both under the front hood and in the service booklet that came with the owners manual. If you don't have either then you can get a Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche - for $95. It will tell you exactly what shipped on the car from, the factory. You can download the order form for the Certificate of Authenticity here.

    The part number is only sold for RoW cars. It has been replaced by 997.642.101.11.FMH. I do not know if it will work (program) in a US car.
  18. Loren
    The acid fumes from the battery charging will go into your trunk and around the battery eventually causing corrosion.
  19. Loren
    I would change the battery first as it will help you sort any other electrical problems - once it is eliminated as a cause.
  20. Loren
    How old is your battery? There is the starter lock relay (on relay panel 2 - under the rear deck - behind the rear seats).
  21. Loren
    There are bulbs in the back of the display for the different sections. Do a search here as there are several posts on replacing the bulbs.
  22. Loren
    Please PM him.
  23. Loren
    Looks the ones I built - except I didn't put the stop on the end. Your design looks very good.
  24. Loren
    I think see now... you are talking about just the center part of the black sill piece. The sill guard is all one piece even though it looks like the center (where the lettering is) comes out - I don't think it does.
  25. Loren
    I don't think so the early center console is in three pieces and the shapes are different. I think he should sell that piece and look further for the right parts.
