    Don't have the key in the ignition and don't connect the battery with the seats or steering wheel out. Where are you located?

    The only way to reset the air bag light is with a PST2 or PIWIS tester. All dealers have these, some independent shops and a few individuals.
  3. Loren
    I think that could be an early version of the late model one... unless that is the fab number. The mk 1 GT3 bumper was 996 505 980 03 G2X. The later updated (MY02 and newer) is 996 505 983 03 G2X. It likely would not fit a pre MY02 car without new fenders and lights, etc.

    Talk to your dealer - there is a late TSB that talks about BOSE amplifiers needing a software update. The TSB describes primarily PCM2 systems but it might be needed on radio/BOSE systems too.

    You are topping off the tank with Pentosin CHF 11 S? - the one in the front trunk (that is shared with power steering). You should also check the level in with power steering with the dipstick in the engine compartment to make sure fluid is getting back there. To bleed you pump with the clutch pedal until Pentosin emerges without air bubbles at the bleeder valve of the servo unit (use a catch bottle). This needs to be pumped about 10 time with the engine running. If that doesn't help then let me know and I'll post the testing for the accumulator and the pressure−regulating valve.

    Do a search here this has been covered many many times...

    Very unusual... I wonder if something hit it? I think you are going to have to replace the drop link on that side. You might want to consider replacing both so the wear is even. For an RoW car the part numbers are: 996 343 069 03 Left drop link - US retail 41.38 USD (as of Oct 2005) 996 343 070 03 Right drop link - US retail 41.38 USD

    Yes, it can be turned on with a PST2 in less than 2 minutes. You will get outside temperature as the default display. Where are you located (as I have a PST2)? You can add a stalk or add a dash switch. Do a search here and/or order Tool Pants DVD for a DIY.

    If P1128 or P1130 (oxygen sensing at rich threshold) is stored in the memory, this means that the fuel/air mixture is too lean. Air leaks ahead of the oxygen sensors can lead to a fault in adaptation. Check exhaust system for leaks. Check for air leaks in intake air system. If nothing obvious there then we need see your MAF readings.
  10. Loren
    Yes, very impressive. :thumbup:

    The radio fuse on a MY01 TT is D8 (on the fuse panel). That would be, the forth row down and 8th fuse from the left. Should be 7.5 A.
  12. Loren
    For the masking refer them to their Porsche Carrera Workshop Manual - Group 9 - Section 94 15 13 Masking film for left/right-hand traffic. For the Litronics, that is covered in: Porsche Carrera Workshop Manual - Group 9 - Section 94 15 05 Left / right traffic conversion for Litronic headlights.

    A MY98 Boxster would be DME 5.2.2. If those are Pcodes then your scanner is funny... P1120 does not occur in a DME 5.2.2 nor does P0102. Try gong to an Autozone and get hem to read the codes (for free) write them down and report them here. Also, tell us how your engine is running. Is running okay except for the CEL? or does misfire and/or stumble?
  14. Loren
    Aren't they in South Florida? Perhaps they don't have any power?

    I think this should help... MY03 Sport Exhaust wiring diagram:

    No, no engine cooling at all in either spoiler (that I am aware of). Here is a pic of the inside of my aerokit spoiler - note the only opening is to the air cleaner tube. The engine purge fan can cool by also bringing in outside - but only when the engine is very hot - and usually after stopping. On the top side here is what it looks like.
  17. Loren
    To my understanding neither the Carrera standard (moveable) wing or the aerokit wing(s) do any "engine cooling". What they do is provide cooler air to the intake - cooler than heated air coming from the engine area.
  18. Loren
    Depending on the year of car and the type of lights (Halogen or Litronic) there is a solution. The Halogens use different internal masks and the Litronics have a mechanical switch (inside the lights) that can be moved.
  19. Loren
    Don't for the latch... Likely either the latch is bad or the cable is sticking.
  20. Loren
    What a great excuse for a new wing ;) ;) 996 512 250 00 Rear wall - retail $78.45 (as of Oct 2005)
  21. Loren
    It is not yet listed in the Porsche parts list or in the US dealer sales memos. The parts list gets updated monthly and the sales memos sometimes come out every week. We'll keep an eye out for it...
  22. Loren
    Ask Tool Pants... he buys it by the gallon.
  23. Loren
    I don't think that 18" wheels are approved for MY97 Boxsters. Something about the chassis not being stiff enough. Later cars had the added stiffening. You can find standard wheel offsets in your owners manual - or you can download a later model owners manual here.
  24. Loren
    Since the only thing on that fuse is the front windows I would suspect one of the motors or a shorted wire. Have the door panels been off for speaker mods or anything? Did you look on the back of your fuse cover? There is a fuse plan there from the factory.
  25. Loren
    Front window fuse on a MY02 is D1. That would be fourth row from the top, 1st fuse on the left. Should be 30 A.
