  1. :welcome: O2 sensors do not cause misfires -they report them. You need to post your fault codes here or everything is just guessing.
  2. What fault codes? or pending fault codes?
  3. The same -- just realize it is likely a few pounds less.
  4. I use Permatex Anti-Seize Lubricant which is a blend of aluminum, copper and graphite lubricants. A thin coating will affect torque settings slightly - but that is better (IMHO) than corroded and rusted on wheel lugs.
  5. You can buy a replacement key - just copy the code on your broken key and take that to the dealer. If you do not have the key a good dealer will try all of their keys until they find the correct one and then order you a replacement. Always good advice to write your wheel key code down and keep it for just this occasion.
  6. Try 4186
  7. Try 9067
  8. I would just clean them up and apply anti-seize paste as Porsche recommends.
  9. :welcome: 996.642.234.02 was replaced by 996.642.234.03 that was replaced by 996.642.234.04 that was replaced by 996.642.234.05 that was replaced by 996.642.234.06 that was replaced by 996.642.234.07. Theoretically any or all should work - but they may need software and firmware updates.
  10. Try 5710
  11. Nine times out of ten - the battery in the sending units is bad.
  12. I think that person is mistaken. Here is a list of Porsche engine and their serial number ranges by model year (under "Remark"). Porsche (and we here) have been using this system for years. (click to enlarge)
  13. VIN is not on the engine or transmission but each do have a model and serial number. The model and serial number can be used to get the approximate date of the build or re-build. Carefully copy those down and then post them here and we can lookup and tell all that we can.
  14. Try 8728
  15. Removing the headlights is covered in your Owner's Manual.
  16. 996 - Common Fixes and Repairs -- http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/38-polishing-acrylic-headlights/
  17. Try 0361
  18. The 2001 cluster will likely work if it is re-programmed to your car.
  19. Yup... in the Boxster 986 forum please.
  20. Try 8624
  21. What is the e-brake? E-brake = emergency brake or hand brake or parking brake. All used to describe the emergency brake.
  22. Try 0156
  23. While they will likely bolt up fine - I have no idea if it will pass smog tests as the later style cats got different O2 sensors. If you decide to try it let us know if you can pass CA smog.
  24. Try 0426
  25. 1. Mount wiper arms on the wiper linkage. 2. The windscreen is provided with points to which the wipers must be positioned. Priority 1 is assigned to the driver's wiper at points C and D . Then position the passenger's wiper at points A and B. 3. Mount the washer 2A and O-ring 2B. 4. Screw on and tighten the fastening screw 2 -- Tightening torque: 24 ftlb. 5. Screw on and tighten the fastening screw 3 -- Tightening torque: 13 ftlb. 6. Close the bonnet. 7. Operate one-touch wiping and check the position of the wiper arms again. 8. Open the bonnet. 9. Press on the cap 1.
