    Covers all Carrera (996), GT3, TT / GT2 and Boxster (986) cars

    Here is the long explanation from the service manual on the flashing coolant light.

    "Four functions of the coolant warning light:

    1. Engine coolant level too low -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)

    2. Engine compartment temperature too high -- light flashes slowly (0.5 Hz) (engine compartment blower might be faulty)

    3. Engine coolant temperature too high -- light is lit; pointer on the right

    4. Temperature sensor at water outlet faulty -- light flashes rapidly (1 Hz) ; pointer on the right

    Note: The temperature warning in point three is indicated if the conditions "engine coolant temperature too high" and "engine coolant level too low" are present simultaneously."

    I'd love a copy, @Loren. Thank you. 

     

    I've read elsewhere you will in fact need a rivet gun to install the blind rivet nuts. And that there are several templates you need to install the front and rear holders to align them to the body. Is that the case? The factory repair manual simply states, "ensure that they are fitted correctly and not damaged; if necessary, replace." 

     

    Just purchased the the brackets, screws and running boards from the junkyard. Forgot to see how the rivet nuts were fitted. I believe this is the correct part number I need: Blind rivet nuts 904-085-04

    Several years ago Porsche's lawyers sent me a "take-down notice" to remove all copyrighted Porsche material from the website or face litigation. I had no choice but to comply with their demands.

    I had an aftermarket radio installed when I bought my 2001 986 but prefer to have the original CDR-220 factory-installed radio so I found a used one. The model is CDR-220 and the serial number is 25015991. Let me know if you can get me the code. I'd like to install it into my Boxster. Much thanks! 

     

    Try 1309

     

    Don't forget to hook up the wire (to the radio chassis) for the alarm system.

    I tried to enter Jack mode as per manual, hold the  switch forward  10 seconds in Normal position but It couldn't enter to jack Mode. No sigh came up to Main display. What shall I do ? My car is 2008 Porsche 957....15years old.

     

    Does the air suspension operate normally now - to raise and lower on demand?

    If not then use a Porsche specific diagnostic tool (i.e. PIWIS or Durametric) to check for fault codes.
