    The parts list shows 996 637 243 01 for MY99-00. Of course you could always upgrade to the Carrera GT Design Key 000 044 000 83 ($120 US - retail as of Oct 2005). The design key needs to have your transponder moved to the new key. The older keys require an authorized dealer to program the new key into your car.

    Are you talking about the A/C Heater controls? on a US/Canada car? If so, the readout in the A/C controls can only be changed with a PST2 (or PIWIS) tester. If you are talking about the instrument cluster (on a US/Canada car) it can not be done.

    Folks -- please keep it friendly here. Let's talk Porsche's... (this thread is now closed)

    If that hose goes in a big way you will lose it all. A one year old car is way to early for hose issues unless it was defective from the factory or damaged somehow. Since you are still under warranty just let them fix it.

    Retail $29.52 (as of Oct 2005)

    Porsche has written an installation TSB that is quite good. It is TSB 0301 9142 Installation of Rear Speakers - dated 8-22-03. It is available here to view for any Contributing Member.

    Wrong! All you need to do is make sure that the Order Type in DME is set to 986310 for a Boxster or 986320 for a Boxster S. Once that is set you exit the DME. Then go to Instrument Cluster, Modify Coding and change the setting. Here are some pics of the 2nd part of the process: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...indpost&p=34584 Where are you located?

    77 should be 77 mm long. I do not know the colors - but I am sure the part number is correct.

    Every wiring harness for cars that Porsche makes is custom. The harness is built to order. The PCM1 wiring diagram will only show the connections between the PCM1 components and a few external connections - but no hints on how to get the wires to those (external) points. A couple folks have done this and said it was a lot of trouble - most wish they had gone aftermarket. Perhaps one of our members can elaborate on the difficulty of a PCM1 retrofit...

    Your bolts should be 999 067 050 09 Pan-head screw. They are M 12 x 1.5 x 77. The PCCB calipers for TT and GT2 use longer M 12 x 1.5 x 85 bolts.
  12. Loren
    Here is the complete list of parts (with the diagram from that page). If you can figure out which parts I can lookup the retail prices. MY03_cab_cover_parts.pdf
  13. Loren
    Correct, 75W-90 gear oil.

    I don't think it is urgent since they say to fix "In the event of a customer complaint...".

    TSB 3/05 4078 Rattling Noises From The Area Of The Front And Rear Axle - dated 7-6-2005. Your dealer should be able to take care of this.

    Push up and down on a fender (not hard enough to dent it it) and if the car returns to normal after one cycle the shock is likely fine. Do this on each corner. A bad shock will not retard the bounce.
  17. Loren
    Certainly if you had all four springs done - and chances are they loosened or removed the swaybars for the work. I would go through and make sure everything is where it should be and tight. One other thing I guess could that happen is if one shock completely died - it might act pretty weird if that happened.
  18. Loren
    Check for tire damage/proper inflation, loose wheel(s), loose sway bar, and perhaps even a spring that has shifted on it's mount.
  19. Loren
    Model and Year please?
  20. Loren
    Can you give me the item numbers?
  21. Loren
    Two separate items - OBC and Cruise Control. On pre-MY02 cars there is no setting for Cruise Control. Also, Yoseif's instructions are for older PST2 software the current (and last version) is 24 which is shown here. Here are your screenshots - this is my 99 Carrera which should be the same as a 97 Boxster. Select Boxster Do a Control Module Search and then select Instrument cluster Go to Modify Coding Select On-board Computer and use the modify key >> Select On-board computer present and press F8 to activate Back up to the previous screen << and confirm At this point you can confirm the OBC is set on by seeing if the outside temperature is displayed in the cluster.

    We do not have some of the older manuals on the site. I bought a MY04 GT3 manual because we did not have one - it was $18 from Sunset Imports (Porsche Parts at Dealer Cost - at the top of every page).
  23. Loren
    A CEL is caused by the DME saying that something is not within spec - emission wise. If they have have not graphed the O2 sensors, MAF and fuel trim then they are shooting in the dark. If they are all okay (which I doubt) then the problem must be mechanical or electro-mechanical (i.e. VarioCam).
  24. Loren
    Have they put a scanner on it and graphed the O2 sensors and fuel trim numbers? Have they looked at the air flow over the MAF (graphed it) too? You can disconnect the MAF and most folks wouldn't notice - until the light comes on. Something is telling the DME that something isn't right and you should be able to see that on the scanner graphs.

    The following MY06 Owners Manuals have been added or updated: Boxster (987) Cayman (987) Carrera (997) Cayenne (V6/S) Cayenne Turbo
