    8 times out of 10 cluster problems after disassembly are connectors not fully seated and locked in place. Give those a good hard look - as well look for bent pins.
  2. Loren
    Yup, I have to do that on my MB daily driver too.

    Sorry, I meant to add this to the original post... http://www.renntech.org/forums/files/file/1416-compatibility-of-bluetooth-mobile-phones/ Thanks Richard.

    Sorry, no automation just me looking up each serial number.

    Yes the Boxster and Boxster S got different water temperature sensors in those years. (996.606.405.01 and 996.606.410.00 respectively). 2001 was also the first year of a new instrument cluster design. Did you program the DME and tell it the car is now a Boxster S? Change the "Order Type" from "986310" to "986320". This should also affect the DME power settings for the engine but will also likely take care of the water temperature. You will need a Porsche PST2 or PIWIS diagnostic tool to do this. Give that a try and tell me if that fixes all.

    If your car does not have the optional "handsfree" settings then you likely need the optional kit installed (997.044.902.33).

    A Porsche diagnostic tool will tell you if you have pending faults and exactly which emissions area is failing.

    From the Lost Radio Code FAQ... "Can you give me a code for my PCM? These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested. Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."
  16. Loren
    The 993 cycle is not the 996 cycle. It is more likely that you still have a fault. What diagnostic tool are you using again?
  17. Loren
    Try 5659

    Whenever I work on exhaust bolts I expect them to break on removal. Simply buy replacements ahead of time and save the stress - that's my advice.
  19. Loren
    Since the car is fuel injection you will need to inspect all of the hoses to the FI as even minor leaks will make the car run poorly. Replace any questionable hoses as they are weak point of this FI system.

    Try 7638

    Moved to the correct section - please do a search in this section as many Boxster top issues have been resolved here.

    Try 0615

    The CDR 23 anti-theft will check the DME for the correct handshake to operate -- problem is your DME does not have that capability. MY1999 has DME 5.2.2 for C2 and DME 7.2 for C4. CDR 23 requires DME 7.8 which started in MY2003. Besides the CDR 23 has MOST (fiber optic communication) so it likely will not work with your CD changer either. Sorry...
  24. Loren
    Sorry, but I think you are beating a dead horse. Compared to what is available today PCM 1 is an Apple 1. There are many 3rd party solutions that are easier, less expensive, and have ten times the capability of PCM 1. If you must have the OEM look-and-feel then you best check with salvage yards for PCM 1 parts.
  25. Loren
    Yes, it should fit fine. The 3 spoke air bag is the same for all 3 spoke steering wheels only the materials change (leather or leatherette).
