    I'm not the Boxster guy but I'm pretty sure it was plastic through MY02.

    Some aftermarket scan tools (like mine) can also display all four sensors and the voltage readings. It is all available via OBD II if your tool supports it. I guess the MAF could still be part of the problem - but until you fix the first O2 sensor problem you won't know. There are codes specfic to an MAF failure but you don't have those. IMHO - You need to look at the O2 voltages correct that problem then look for other causes and faults. If you have a bad O2 sensor it can mask or cause all sorts of problems/faults.

    The system goes through a series of tests as it "sets" the alarm. If during one of those tests a criteria is not met then an alarm readiness state is displayed (i.e. rapid flashing, double-flashing, on, off, or normal flashing). Rapid flashing means that the alarm system is not "primed". Unlike the signal most folks get with an open zone (single horn beep when a zone is open) the rapid flashing would indicate that the alarm did not succeed in reaching the readiness state. Again, if it works with a key then it is likely either a battery (bad battery or poor contact) or even a sticking button on the remote. BTW... you said rapid flashing not double flashing... right? They mean different things.

    What happens if you lock it by key? If it works fine with the key it might be the remote - battery or coding. A PST2 can read the codes for the alarm system which should tell a tech exactly what the problem is.

    Refer your OPC to Service Bulletin 4/99 5726 New Door Latch Striker (dated 12-17-99).

    No, it has the gel coat. What I was saying is that I think that is the raw bumper part number and it gets a different part number when it is coated - but the coated part number is usually on a sticker. Arguably it is a factory GT3 bumper - if you include the Aerokit in that. A "real" mk1 GT3 had a center radiator - so where is the cutout? Don't get me wrong it has a Porsche logo on the back. I think it is an aerokit bumper - which is a GT3 bumper look alike. IF you don't ever want a 3rd radiator then it is a mute point.

    Likely the raw bumper part number before the gel coating. The number itself does not come up in the parts list at all. My only concern (from looking at the pic ) would be if you want the 3rd radiator cut-out or not. A GT3 bumper has a plug in the center hole that can be removed (see my 3rd radiator DIY) but some of the Aerokit bumpers I have seen do not have the plug and would need to have a hole cut if you wanted a third radiator.

    From the OBD II manual- Testing the Oxygen sensor: 1. Heat the oxygen sensors (road test car under load or run engine without load at high rpm). 2. Connect Porsche System Tester 2 or scan tool and read voltage of oxygen sensor 1 ahead of catalytic converter. Display: Voltage fluctuations between 100 mV and 800 mV. -- Oxygen sensor OK. If a value around 0 V is displayed, a short circuit has occurred between the signal wire and sensor ground. 3. Remove H02S connector 1 ahead of catalytic converter. 4. Connect voltmeter at sleeve to pins 3 and 4. Display: approx. 450 mV. -- Replace oxygen sensor. Display: approx. 0 V -- Check wiring harness. If the wiring harness is OK, remove all oxygen sensor connectors and perform measurement to item 4 on all oxygen sensors.

    I did it with the BMC filter and together I noticed more induction noise (a good kind) and what seemed to be a slightly better throttle response.

    Hae a look at my 3rd Radiator DIY here. They are pretty similar.
  11. Loren
    Try Autozone. The one near me can get it in a day or two if they are out of stock. Usually about the same price as Kragen.

    P0130 - possible faults: Crack in ceramic material Reference air polluted Short circuit in signal wire to sensor ground P0130 - possible causes: Oxygen sensor Wiring harness DME control module (intercore short circuit). P1124 and P1126 mean that the whole engine is running lean and the DME can not compensate for it making the mixture more rich. In most cases this is caused by: Intake air system leaking Fuel pressure too low Volume supply of fuel pump too low Fuel injectors fouled (not likely since this would mean all are fouled) I would solve the P0130 then reset the codes and see if the others still occur.

    Yes, phone prep. Brown - ground Yellow/Black - telephone mute Green/Black - switched 12 volts Red/Green - unswitched 12 volts

    We have added a new Products and Services Reviews section to the site. You can get there by click on the Reviews link in the upper right corner of any page or by click on the forum link Reviews. The Reviews section is be part of the site so if you are logged into the forums you will be logged into the Reviews section. All members (Contributing and regular Members) can submit products (if they are not already in the database) and then review/comment on any of the products. You can do searches by keyword(s) and/or category, username, or date; see latest reviews by last day, last 7 days, last 14 days or all reviews. Each product shows: Recommended By (percentage), Average Price (currently only in USD), Average Rating (by all reviewers). We've tried to add common categories so, if you don't see one you think should be there please let me know. A couple other nice features are a Watch list which allows you to keep a linked list of products you want to keep an eye on. You can also choose to be notified by email if a product is updated or a has a new review. Once again, thank you to all the Contributing Members that make additions like this possible! Reviews

    The red rear brake calipers for the Boxster are 996 352 421 13. They are the exact same size as the 996 standard brakes - just red. Boxster S front rotors are 318 mm, rears are 299 mm - same as the 996. I have no idea what you mean by width.
  17. Loren
    I already answered this here. The MY02 C4S does use a different kit (according to the Porsche parts list) than the MY03 and later cars.
  18. Loren
    I think this have been covered here many times... Try using the search function and search all forums for ipod.

    996.351.425.xx and 996.351.426.xx are front calipers (left and right) for a 996. The xx would designate whether the car is a C2 (2WD) or C4 (4WD). 996.352.425.xx and 996.352.425.xx are rear calipers (left and right) for a 996. The xx would designate whether the car is a C2 (2WD) or C4 (4WD). Factory front pads are: 996 352 949 02 Factory rear pads are: 996 352 939 03 The Boxster S uses the same front calipers as a 996 except the are red.

    It is more likely a "Workshop Service Action" which is a voluntary service action as opposed to a government "recall". I see if I can get a copy of the workshop service action bulletin.

    Are you talking about the "Porsche Child Restraint System". If so what part number did you purchase.
  22. Loren
    Indeed!

    I removed mine (both screens) 3 years ago. I disconnected the battery at the time and had the DME relearn the air flow. Zero problems.

    000-044-500-28 is a 10 mm RoW sport kit for a (coupe, 4WD, 6 speed). I think the MY02 C4S must be different. This the MY03 C4S page from the (Feb 2005) RoW tequipment parts list:
