  1. When several strange electrical things happen the ignition switch may be going bad. Have you had any trouble turning the key or other strange electrical faults?
  2. Loren, I think you meant heating the wheel carrier. Usually you freeze the bearing. If you can get the bearing out/in without removing the wheel carrier then no alignment should be necessary. Most shops charge 3-4 hours for a bearing R&R. Correct. At least he knew what I meant... I'll fix the typo.
  3. Do you look at the DIY instructions here? Or do you have DRL and want them off?
  4. Yeah, you are right I missed that. The good news is any of the 3 will work on your car.
  5. 222 - Traction Control (TC) which was always sold with 224 - Automatic Limited Slip Differential (LSD) in MY99. No list I have shows a 234 - I'll bet your 234 is really 224 if you look closely. My list comes from the Porsche Worldwide Parts Listings.
  6. Well, I've heard that if you just remove the oil filter canister pour the oil out and put it back on that will take about 1/2 quart. Or... if it is way high then drain the oil into a very clean (10 quart) container and only put back the right amount.
  7. Well, bleeding the brakes on a car without TC can be done without a PST2. Bleeding the brakes is a little different than bleeding the control unit. I'm pretty sure if you are changing the ABS hydraulic control unit you need to open the valves to bleed the new unit - with a PST2 on all versions of ABS. Although you might be able to trigger the ABS relay (next to the ABS hydraulic unit) to open the valves by jumpering the right points.
  8. Well, the only thing you can do is trust the measurement bars. I strive to be 1 or 2 bars from the top (just above midway). That way if I go to the track or do some spirted driving I'm safe and don't create blow by.
  9. In an RMS replacement they drop the transmission and the engine stays in place (with a special tool to hold it). Valve covers and exhaust covers are also know leakers. A good shop will always look for ALL the leaks.
  10. Check you oil level. It may be over filled.
  11. Most likely the battery - but sometimes some dirt gets in there too. It would be best to put in a new battery and clean the contacts well.
  12. It is in the MY03 Boxster Owners Manual here. Page 155.
  13. 03 replaced 02 and should work directly for a MY97. 04 is for a MY2000. All the standard units are 3 channel ABS (3 hydraulic outlets) and TC/LSD units are 4 channel ABS (4 hydraulic outlets). So if you don't have TC/LSD don't get one that does.
  14. Jeff is right same issue with the 996. If the cap is leaking it is usually confined to the the lip area at the top of the tank and you notice the coolant level is low. Replacing the cap takes about 30 seconds - replacing the tank takes about 1.5 hours.
  15. It won't be that bad. The idle will hunt for a few minutes and torque/rev range will also adjust fairly quickly. The car will certainly be drivable but don't expect top performance for a few miles.
  16. All C4's regardless of year are egas. The only not egas 996 series car was the MY99 C2.
  17. The Rear Main Seal (RMS) is the seal on the flywheel side of the crankshaft. So, any leaks will appear at the joint where the transmission and engine meet. In a Carrera that would be just about even with the rear wheels and dead center in the middle.
  18. Yes, they have different part numbers and newer Cayenne's use PCM 2.1 as do 997's.
  19. 441 - radio prep 584 - * (sorry that is what the parts list stays - just an asterisk) 680 - MY01 - Digital sound package - MY02 - Bose analog sound system
  20. Well, you you are not planning a lot of track activities you would likely want the M030 sport suspension. Porsche sells a kit that is springs, shocks, and swaybars that are tuned to work together. They will also lower your car about 20 mm front and 10 mm rear. Here is the set at Carnewal.com.
