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.

Thanks!  So it doesn't mean negative things.

Well, yes and no. That's why you need to pay the money to see the whole report (if you are really interested in a car). You could also get a report of a major accident damage, flood damage, or even (in some states) a vehicle that was sold for salvage.

Just a couple of questions:

1. Are you sure that P1123 is the only code. Does your scan tool show all codes or just the first one?

2. You said the idle is steady and does not waiver - right?

996 362 020 02 was actually the part number for the 996 C4S emergency wheel/tire as of MY04. Most likely the newest, lightest and smallest.

Not that I have seen published. I guess you could read a new one and then compare but when one of these goes bad it usually very obvious - with a huge difference in readings.

They don't unless you have numerous stage 1 and stage 2 over-revs recorded in your DME and the car shows other signs of abuse (i.e burnt clutch, etc.).

If you follow the break-in in the owners manual you will never have a problem with a warranty claim.

1 & 2 - Have a look at TSB 2/00 6102 Noises In The Hardtop Area (dated 9-8-00). It has 7 pages of hardtop noise and lubrication fixes.

If it were my car the first thing I would do is drain the transmission oil and look for metal. Since your car is likely still under warranty - you might want to take it to the dealer for a transmission check.

I'm pretty sure they won't come with it. Oops.. the TT doesn't use the plastic screws the GT3 and Carrera use, it uses U-clamps. If they don't come with it then order 999 507 751 02 U-clamps.

996 555 081 02 A18 Lining Black Leatherette - retail $383.05

I drove on the boards (backed on in this pic). The bottom board is about 6 inches longer than middle board which is about 6 inches longer that the top board. So there is a stair steep effect.

MY and color please?

and you want leatherette not leather right?

Should rear seatbelts also be removed ? Is this easy ?

Well, you could. The rear side panels will need to come off to get to the belt bolts and in the end the belt (slotted) trim will still be there. I'd say 30 minutes to an hour if you have the right tools (and don't drop the front screw into the side of the chassis). ;)

Same way, mine just slides off towards the bottom.

1. Yes, if it corrects itself within a period of time.

2. We would need the fault codes in order further diagnose the error and potential problem area.

Yes, you can measure the resistance they should all be the same. One (or more) that much higher or lower indicates a problem.

Anyone that has a cap with the part number ending in 00 should the cap regardless. It WILL leak.

Yes. Same bolts.

If you car is not lowered it should only take a few minutes. Also if the plastic screws are sheared off then you might have to poke and pry them out. Still I think less than 30 minutes.

I think you should buy new fasteners.

What is this? Would it work?

996-555-122-04-ESZ is leatherette not leather.

The GT3 gearbox is different (type G96.90, G96.93, G96.96) from the standard Carrera's (types G96.00, G96.01, G96.30, and G96.31). Also, I think you can replace gear sets in a GT3 gearbox but they don't list all parts in the gearbox.

Dell,

I think Porsche only sells the whole door panel - so a part number may not help.

Another option would be to find a good upholstery shop to see if they can replace just the one panel.

1. Potential fault P0740 causes are:

- ATF level not OK - check ATF supply

- Torque converter clutch worn. - check torque converter

- Mechanical damage to pressure regulator 4. - check pressure regulator 4 (hydraulic)

- Open circuit, short circuit to ground, short circuit - check electrical triggering to pressure regulator 4 to B+.

- Hydraulic control unit - check for sticking valves.

2. Not all pcodes cause a CEL light.

If the speedo signal problem is ABS related then you may have an ABS code. Unfortunately Porsche has not shared those codes with many companies so ABS can not be read with scan tools other than a PST2 or PIWIS. Your car can also generate code for Body faults - B code, C drivetrain faults - C codes, and U faults - for undefined (by SAE) faults. Porsche only publishes P codes.

Some independent shops have invested in PST2 tools so perhaps one could read your full code faults for you (for a nominal fee). Either way you should try to identify and fix the P040 cause - which could be as simple as low ATF level.
