    Did you try the throttle adaption procedure the manual suggests? 1. Switch on the ignition. 2. Wait one minute. Do not press the accelerator. 3. Switch off the ignition for at least 10 seconds. 4. Read out the fault memory

    Try 9062 or 9060

    Try 4721 or 4719

    All 9x6 series cars came with the electronics for OBC (On Board Computer). But the feature was an option. If you got the factory option then you have 4 stalks on your steering wheel. The lower left stalk controls the different displays of the OBC in instrument cluster. All (US) 996 Carrera's came with cruise control - 986 Boxsters had cruise as an option. Both had OBC as an option. Yet the primary electronics for these were always "built-in" You can add both cruise control and OBC fairly easily to any of these cars. You just add the proper stalk(s) (or switches) and turn the feature on using a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    Not far inside - just pull a little.

    You just push a small tab in. You might be able to see it with a flashlight. I usually just fumble around with it until the knob comes off.

    Try 1139 or 1137

    Check the drain tube on the AC - that is how the condensation escapes.
  10. Loren
    Yes, if the bar activation is not "on" it will need to be turned on. If that is the case then you need to find someone with a PST2 oe PIWIS tester. You have to plug the two wire connector into a plug on the bottom of the seat (usually taped) AND the feature needs to be turned on with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

    I agree they look like an OEM Mk1 bumper.

    I don't have a way to cross the sub-assembly. Maybe a dealer could by checking the numbers on their stock. Did the seller say what year/model car they came off of?
  13. Loren
    Those are subassembly numbers generally not listed outside of Porsche. Do you have pics of the complete bumper covers.
  14. Loren
    Where do you get the order type for any given vehicle? Thanks. We have compiled a list here
  15. Loren
    In front of the spare tire on the bulkhead.
  16. Loren
    I think you need to re-read Larry's post - the housing alone was $850 and the dealer comp'ed the labor. An exchange 6 speed for a MY01 Boxster is MSRP $4270.43 without the install labor. A new 6 speed for a MY01 Boxster is MSRP $7243.30 without the install labor.
  17. Loren
    Try 4982 or 4980
  18. Loren
    You could try to clean the connections on the egas throttle valve sensor. Or it could just be bad.
  19. Loren
    I fixed this for Peter yesterday. The dealer should have know the model type code has to be in the DME to change any programming. The PST2 even has a warn message to that affect when you try to code something.

    996.107.026.51 oil separator -- US MSRP $97.19
  21. Loren
    Do you mean the clock spring for the airbag?
  22. Loren
    Here is how I understand the "oil separators" use. There are actually 3 (what Porsche calls) oil separators. Two are in the sump and are used primarily to remove the air from returned oil so that when the pump picks up sump oil to circulate through the engine it gets oil and not an oil/air mixture. These are really swirlpots that defoam the oil. These are usually pretty reliable and rarely fail. (see item 4 below) The Air Oil Separator on the top of the engine is the common one to fail. It is used to take oil droplets (mist) and vapors (gases) from the crankcase and return the oil to the crankcase and burn the oil vapor in the engine (for emissions control). Most often the membrane in this oil separator fails and you get huge amount of oil sucked into the intake (and produce clouds of smoke). (see item 1 below)

    On MY02 and newer there is a returnless fuel system. On these cars the fuel filter usually does not need replacing unless the gas tank has become contaminated. "2060 Fuel filter The fuel filter is integral in the tank unit and no longer requires changing. A reduction in deliver rate can be detected via the mixture adaption."

    P0430 TWC Conversion, Bank 2 – Above Limit Potential causes: – Catalytic converter P11402 does not exist. If the CEL does not come back I would not worry.

    Try 9433 or 9431 Loren, sorry to trouble you again, but it appears that I didn't provide you with completly accurate information. I have confirmed the Model #, and Serial #, listed earlier are correct, but I incorrectly identified the radio as being "Becker", it is actually a Harman Karden by Becker. While there does appear to be 10 presets, when entering the code, only the digits 1 thru 7 are available and it appears that the code should be a 5 digit number. Would this corrected information change the information you input into your program and perhaps result in different codes? Or are the Model number and Serial number enough? Any additional insight you might have would be most appreciated. Thanks again, Todd. Yes, that changes it. Try 29433 or 29431
