Porsche maintenance books says: "Check drive belt at 40,000 mls, but no later than every 4 years -- replace any drive belt no later than 60,000 mls or 6 years" -
Sorry, I meant to add that is too. It should be checked at least yearly cracks or wear - replace it at signs of either.

:welcome: The fuel filter is inside the fuel tank and should not need to be changed in normal operation. Brake fluid should be tested (for moisture content) and changed every two years.

ABS and PSM dash lights on
Loren replied to jaekormtb's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
That happens on 4WD cars and more often on turbos. The cause is wheel slip that the system can not fully compensate for. I would only worry if they stay on after a re-start. -

You obviously did not read 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."

My 2009 (US) Order Guide shows "Sea Blue" -- so likely just a difference in country order guides naming.

Is there such a thing as a 986 RS version?
Loren replied to ARH's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)

For your misfire you can switch the spark plug to a different cylinder and see if the misfire follows it. If not try the same thing with the coil pack. That should tell you where the problem most likely is.

:welcome: It goes to a sensor that reports the engine compartment air temperature. The sensor mounts in a metal holder and they sometimes get bumped and fall out. Just put it back in the holder and you are done.
