986 505 311 06 G2X Lining (front bumper) (prime coated) for MY03- on Boxster S.

985 505 551 01 G2X Cover (around opening) prime coated MY03- on Boxster S.

The inside retaining frame is: 986 505 555 02 01C Retaining Frame (satin black) MY03- on Boxster S.

The parts list does not show a grill of a Boxster S - it looks open. There are grills on the side opening but only the cover lip on the center opening.

Hi

Okay, I'm having a tough time finding this part online.  The MAF serial numbers are:

0 280 218 009

996 606 124 00

This part is for the 2000 Boxster.

I can't find this part number online ANYWHERE.  I find a bunch of MAF's, but I'm not sure if this one is discontinued.  I've figured out (I think) that its the old version of the MAF. 

Now the question is trying to find one!  The Parts Bin doesn't have any of these numbers on their website. I even called Bosch, but the reps haven't gotten back to me for a while.

Any help would be great.  If I can't find this part, how much should I expect to pay to get the DME reconfigured to work with the new sensor?  I'd like to get this problem solved as soon as possible.

30 minutes at the most. Detail are in my 3rd Radiator DIY

As scouser points out, a simple "timed" relay does not suffice. The controls are a little more complicated. Essentially, it works analogous to the window controls (stop/start/auto/manual), with speed, latch and other controls added.

SmartTOP (SmartTop Webpage) has a nifty relay replacement solution that just plugs in and has everything integrated. They are the most expensive solution at 228 Euro (185 Euro in group buys).

Bahntech is the cheapest solution ($145) and does it with a custom printed circuit board that "hangs" between the dash buttons and the actual inputs to the relays. For it to work as desired you need to plug in the speed sensor wire and perform the two relay hacks (disable handbrake and speed signal).

I have the Bahntech in the 986 and am quite satisfied with it. Roll-your-own is doable, but probably not worth the roughly extra $100 you might be able to save. If you consider going the smartTop "clean" approach, be aware that just the relay replacement switch is $70 for starters  :( 

I don't think the Bahntech unit is "timed", but rather it uses the signal from the metal hood cover when it closes (same signal in "top up" and "top down" position) to signal the end of the cycle. This would allow for simplier electronics (not car dependent). But I may be wrong on this.

Now, if Porsche is using the SmartTOP in the 997s, the price might drop somewhat. Anybody knows about this?

Could be a bad microswitch on one of those. Either ohm out the switches one at a time or get someone with a PST2 to read out which zone is reporting open.

Latest update (Sept 27, 2004) now includes 987 and 997.

Thanks Scouser! :thumbup:

Hi all

I had a good long look to try and identify where my oil leak is coming from and one guess is that its coming from the oil sensor switch as on the cable there is quite much oil. This would suggest that the leak comes when the engine is running and then gets sprayed all over the place making it difficult to identify where the leak comes from. Is it common for oil to leak from the sensor ?

You will most likely have to order this from Gert (Carnewal.com) or find a US dealer that can get it.

Loren,

Quick question...is the part number the same for the upper shelf & the lower shelf?  If not, do you know the number for the lower?

I'm looking to replace the lower shelf on my '00 C2 Coupe.

Thanks in advance.

Lower Shelf - 996 552 243 01 01C satin black

or

996 552 982 01 xxx Shelf (replace xxx with appropriate leather color code)

or wood or carbon fiber

Leave the center console open... any open zone will cause a beep.

Those specs are for 996 brakes - Here is the same info on the GT3 brakes since they are about the same as TT/GT2:

Brake disc thickness, new -- front 34 mm, rear 28 mm

Minimum brake disc thickness after machining* -- front 32.6 mm, rear 26.6 mm (* The brake disc must only be reworked symmetrically, i.e. from both sides evenly.)

Brake disc wear limit -- front 32.0 mm, rear 26.0 mm

Peak-to-valley surface roughness of the brake disc after machining, max. -- 0.006 mm

Thickness tolerance of the brake discs, max. -- 0.02 mm

Lateral runout of the brake disc, max. -- 0.03 mm

Lateral runout of the wheel hub, max. -- 0.03 mm

Lateral runout of the brake disc when installed, max. -- 0.06 mm

I don't know the original thickness but the wear limits on 996 and GT3 is 0.6 mm.

In the SF Bay Area (a good shop) will run you about $800 - $1000 for the install and another $180 - $200 for a four wheel balance. YMMV...

1. No, when used with the proper wheel bolts (Porsche sells a kit) they are fully approved by Porsche.

2. A slightly wider track. You may notice a very slight improvement in low speed cornering - 5 mm is not very much.

For my 2 cents...

I'm not sure of the quality being a problem on the PSE. What I have seen is two or three PSE's delivered in a box that looked like it was run over by a truck. I don't think the shipping packaging done by Porsche is very good. If you compare it to say the Litronics that come double boxed and foam lined. Considering the cost they (or their vendor) really should package them better for shipping.

End of :soapbox:

Have a look at this thread

Looks like there are 5 screws on the inside of the glovebox lid and 3 more on each side to remove the inner liner. Then there are 2 screws on the inside of the lock.

hi its a year 2000  C2 tiptronic

cheers

Most oil leaks can be repaired with the engine in the car. The most common exception being the RMS (Rear Main Seal). When repairing the RMS the transmission is removed and the engine is supported in place. What year and model car?

Ah, good thread.  I am looking for the part # for the plastic holes (using the lingo from the thread).  They were looking for the collar.  Anyone have that part #.

Can you post a picture? Still not sure what part you mean.

To my knowledge - not without going to a racing fuel cell.

Anyone have a source for current supplements? My source has been unable to come up with any after 79. They keep telling me they can't get them from PCNA.
