    Here is what Porsche says to do in the Service Manual:

    That looks very good - but it would be a lot of effort. If you've got a couple days to do it and some teflon tape and felt tape (anti-squeak) - then go for it.

    Are you sure? These are Jeff's pics (of it being done at a dealership).

    You will need to remove the console to change the lid (unless you want to try and drill out the pop-rivets and then pop-rivet in the new one). There is a link at the beginning of the post below with the B&M short shifter instructions. These are are very good as they have pics and step by step to remove the console. You just won't be doing the shifter stuff. console/trim post The hinge replacement instruction (for broken hinges) are in TSB 6/99 6848 Oddments Tray Cover (dated 4-14-00). As a contributing member you have access to this TSB.

    997's get different headers, cats and mufflers. I don't know if they will fit a 996 or not. There is not yet a parts breakdown in the part list for 997 - only the complete kit. For a MY04 996 you will want 000 044 200 21. If you want the switch it will need to be ordered separately.

    P0102 says your MAF is "open" or shorted to ground. Either the MAF is bad, your connector is bad or a wire to the MAF is broken. P1115 is likely a result of of the bad MAF. Read the MAF thread here Please try to put spaces in your typing so it is easier to read - my old eyes can't take that ;)

    They are pretty much just like 996. Most 996's use a 6 mm allen wrench but some use a triple square. For the older GT3 and folks that ordered a rollbar kit Porsche has a kit that covers the mounting holes left behind. 000 044 801 63. It is a kit that normally comes with the Porsche Tequipment Sport Roll Bar to cover up holes after you've removed the seats to install the bar. It includes a couple of nicely made silver painted caps, two large vinyl covered plugs, and a mini version of the pin that secures the center of the seatbacks so that you can reinstall the cap over the center mounting point. Chances are it will work on a 997 too. 997 Rear Seats Assembly

    The pinion gear on the Boxster is on the other side (reversed) since the Boxster is a mid-engine car. You would want 1 speed forward and 6 in reverse. :lol:
  10. Loren
    Have a look here and here. The filter is the same as the Boxster, Carrera, GT2, GT3, and TT. Either 996 107 225 52 or 996 107 225 53.

    The part number and information is in the post here.
  12. Loren
    There is a TSB (1/04 6924 Airbag Warning Light Comes On 7-21-2004) for this depending on the year of your car. Both buckles and electrical contacts need to be replaced (with gold contacts). If you have have any dealer goodwill this might be a good time to use it as a tech told me it was about a 2-3 hour job. BTW... the TSB is 12 pages long.

    Please post your car model year, PCM1 or PCM2, and what country CDs you are using. That is the best way to get some help here... thanks!

    I for one never got this intake to work without throwing a CEL and then running crappy. After 3 months of emails, phone calls, trial and error - still no luck. I ended up returning it for a refund (which I never got - which is another story). I settled for removing the internal baffles in the stock air cleaner box and using a race proven BMC air filter. That was my experience... :(
  16. Loren
    Yes, the handset is yet another kit. Any of the individual part numbers can be ordered from Porsche... just be aware that sometimes a single part may be backordered.
  17. Loren
    Have a look at Boxster TSB 3/04 Telephone Module (Option I No. 666) (dated 4-1-04). It will show you how to check and which optical wave guide to order. As well it has a complete parts breakdown for that option. 996 642 207 01 has been replaced by 996 642 207 02 but the 01 version should still work on PCM2.0.

    Carnewal is for real. He sells genuine Porsche parts - his quaility and service is one of the best I've seen.

    Satellite radio?
  21. Loren
    I'm sure John is working on it. Probably doing an upgrade. Looks like it is back up now.
  22. Loren
    Sorry, I just saw your reply. That bolt is a metric triple square - 8mm I think. I don't have a set of these -- but I guess I need them. Here is a link to an SK set. SK are very good tools and usually expensive so you might be able to find them cheaper somewhere else. http://www.sjdiscounttools.com/sk19704.html

    A MY03 has a CDR-23 radio and no code is needed as it is matched to the car VIN. On a MY99 (actually MY02 and older) the CR-210, CDR-210 and CR-220 and CDR-220 all require a 4 digit code be entered as a security precaution.
  24. Loren
    The car should not be disabled. If the battery dies and the car is locked you will need to unlock it manually with a key. The radio code will need to be reset - it is a 4 digit code that is usually in your manuals, docs, etc. If you do not have the code a dealer can look it up for you with your VIN number and proof of ownership. Some dealers as well as Becker (radio manufacturer) now charge for this service so don't be surprised with they want you pay. The DME (engine computer) will also be reset so the car may run a little rough when you first start it up. It will "re-learn" it's idle and driveability setpoints during the next few startup and driving sequences.
