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.

It is in the MY03 Boxster Owners Manual here. Page 155.

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.

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.

Because these valve caps are so fragile, they are shipped on a set of valve stems.  Just screw them on your existing valve stems, and wait for them to be stolen.  (speaking from experience)

Ditto

I've heard about coughing and sputtering due to the fuel injection management software needing to relearn how to drive.

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.

All C4's regardless of year are egas. The only not egas 996 series car was the MY99 C2.

 

Where's the RMS, please? 

 

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.

Sure.

Yes, they have different part numbers and newer Cayenne's use PCM 2.1 as do 997's.

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

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.

Yes, but when you order parts you will be ordering for a MY04 Boxster (986). I'll bet the 10th digit in your VIN is a "4" (for MY04).

236 - 18" tires

376 - Sport seat backrest shell

663 - Hands free receiver

any suggestions for a boxster 2.7L to lower and less body roll.  i guess im just too used to the awd cars i have had in the past.

What suspension do you have standard or M030 (sport suspension)?

Street and occasional track? or track only?

$931 for installation and alignment. I'm sure you could get it done for less but it was convenient  for me to have it done at the dealer.

IMHO - $800 to $900 is a very good price. Changing suspensions pieces and a 4 wheel alignment it at least a 5 hour job.

I have sent you a PM...

Did you put the spoiler correct harness back in?

Kim,

No they aren't. But they could be. This only adds about 3 inches so it is not like jacking the car up a foot or two. If you really want level then just put them under all four tires.

ar38070 is correct, to bleed the ABS system you need to open the valves with a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

0 (zero) HP for the PSE by itself. The cut-out is for some European countries that have noise limits (in town) at those speeds. My understanding is primarily Switzerland.

BTW... if you don't even hook up the valving (just put the mufflers on) then the valves are always open (loud).

Your 997 will have PCM 2.1. The PCM 2.0 manual may be close and is all we have seen at this point in time.

The Cayman is Slotted Between the Carrera and the Boxster

ATLANTA, February 23, 2005 — Porsche will be expanding its range of vehicles with the introduction of a new sports car based on the Boxster series in the 2006 model year. Positioned and priced between the 911 Carrera and the Boxster S, the new two-seat sports car, named the Cayman S, is aggressively styled to reflect its enhanced handling and more powerful engine. At the same time, highly efficient space utilization makes it one of the most practical sports cars in its class.

The Cayman S joins the Carrera, Boxster, and Cayenne, model designations that are already rich in tradition. It derives its name from the smallest of crocodiles, the caiman, which is known to be swift and nimble. With its more powerful 295 bhp, 3.4-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine mounted in the middle of its chassis, the new fixed-roof model reflects the strength and agility of its namesake perfectly and is capable of providing driving pleasure in its purest form.

Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (PCNA), based in Atlanta, Ga., and its subsidiary, Porsche Cars Canada, Ltd., are the exclusive importers of Porsche sports cars and Cayenne sport utility vehicles for the United States and Canada. A wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG, PCNA employs approximately 250 people who provide Porsche vehicles, parts, service, marketing and training for its 204 U.S. and Canadian dealers. They, in turn, provide Porsche owners with best-in-class service.

Perhaps all the "pre-ordered" dealers cars all have sunroofs. That is fairly common as dealers sell the most popular optioned cars from their lots. I do not see any memos that sunroof delete can not be ordered on a factory order car.

so am i right to say that if i got a pcm2 i can plug and play in my 04 boxster or is there alittle more to it .  is it just a head unit and wack a map cd in or 

is there an extra cd reading unit

thanks

Yes, there is even a PCM2 DIY here in the DIY section. It is for a Carrera but a Boxster is pretty much the same.
