I don't know the test spec - chances are you can't get a good reading without taking it out of the circuit. Porsche recommends (in the service manual) to cut the wire and then splice in the new one and cover with heat shrink tubing. You do not need to remove the bumper these are visible under the front fenders.

Sorry, the following is all the detail that is in the service manual...

For a MY2000 GT3 (RoW)?

Here is the parts diagram - let me know if you need the parts list too.

This has happened to at least a couple of folks here. Check the spoiler connector for corrosion. Disconnect it and clean it with a good electronics cleaner then reconnect and give it a try.

1. Left is drivers side for US cars.

2. Depends on if you have a pin removal tool.

3. The harness side is the chassis side.

4. uh... Tool Pants has the tool info.

5. Just make sure the new lights are proper locked in place before going for a test drive.

6. Took me about 1 hour.

7. No.

I had my first (and only) at 9619 miles in early 2002. IMHO... It all depends on your engine tolerances and the installer's skill at installation.

PCNA is pleased to announce the availability of the following options;

AED - Comprises additional 7-inch TFT-display including console for driver’s side and infrared headphone.

Leather finish in interior color, incl. decorative stitching: display console.

MSRP – US $1,720, Canada $2,410

It looks like it would. All the mounting hardware is the same. The big difference is in the engine compartment sound and plenum insulation. I don't know if you could patch that together to make it work...

No. Have a look at my PSE (muffler only) install DIY here.

If the car did not have power/memory seats from the factory then it is next to impossible to put them in. Power/Memory seats are a factory option and the (main) wiring harness is different for cars ordered with that option. So you would need to either change the whole wiring harness or try to patch in all wiring for the seats.

Downgrading the seats is easy if the car came with the power/memory option but upgrading is extremely difficult. If you bought the new seats from a dealer then take them back - they should know better than to sell you something that can't work.

Sorry, I'm still waiting for the my service manual updates from Porsche (they were ordered in May 2004!).

It is likely consistent with the X74 package which is 30 mm lower than stock (sport suspension) US height and 20 mm lower than stock (sport suspension) RoW height.

Here is a thread with what I use OBD II Reader

You will need to press off ball joint on the wheel carrier using a commercially available ball joint extractor (tie rod extractor). Do not damage the boot of the ball joint when pressing off the ball joint. If necessary, coat the boot and the ball joint extractor with tire mounting paste.

Use the proper torque when installing:

- to wheel carrier 56 ftlb

- to carrier side section (camber eccentric) 74 ftlb

The rear toe alignment will need to be redone after the change.

996 618 980 03 RELAY, SPORT EXHAUST $122.03 (as of Dec. 2004)

Could someone please post the part number for this?

From the instrument cluster Diagnostic Section of the Service Manual:

Speedometer: electrical signals from the ABS/ASR or PSM are converted and emitted in digital form.

P0150 indicates Oxygen Sensor Ahead of Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 4 - 6) - Intercore Short Circuit or Limited Voltage Increase. That would be on the driver's side in a Boxster.

No idea on what needs to be changed but measure the distance between the two mounting holes on the caliper.  Then measure the the stock 996 caliper.  If they are different (probably) then you will have to replace the wheel carriers.  You would probably want to use GT3/GT2 carriers as the turbo front carriers are set up for AWD.

Also I hope that you have 18" wheels or larger as 17's wont clear the caliper.

I have 18" wheels. I have to look into the wheel carriers. Doesn't someone sell turbo brake upgrade kits?

Most folks use the Wurth Silver followed by the Wurth Clear coat and the match is really good. Have a look at Nasa Racer Pete's DIY here

You can get power or dash light power from other switches. I think Scouser just used PSM since it was close.

I don't know that the lights have anything to do with the early build car updates - I always thought it was to better distinguish the Carrera from the Boxster.

Certainly the late MY99 build cars have a number of small problems fixed (i.e. coolant expansion tank, gas cap and oil filler cap seals, o-rings on oil return pipes, clutch boost spring, etc.). Changes are made during production all the time so cars that were early builds still may have many of the later build fixes. That and/or the dealer may have fixed most of them.

Your car's build date can be found a sticker on the driver's door frame.

There is a DIY here that Contributing Member Scouser wrote up (with pics).

That is a right muffler only for a MY01 or older Carrera.

Only the early MY99 (US) cars had amber lens(es) (not bulbs). My June 99 build Carrera and all later Carrera's had clear (H2) headlights and tail lights. I upgraded to Litronics have which always been clear.
