  1. Thanks for the replies! I have updates 2-10 and 12-36, the manuals only cover 986 not 987.
  2. I know I have many updates but will have to check and see how many.
  3. I have a 15 volume Boxster Porsche Service manual set. I have searched many forums looking for a value so that I can list them. Wondering if anyone has and idea of value? Thanks, Abe
  4. Update; Drove over 500 miles this weekend and no codes, so plastic covered unit worked fine. Abe
  5. I was getting the P 0348 code, the check engine light would go on, then go out again, it did this several times, it seemed to go back on when revved around 4-6000 rpm. I replaced it with Bosch part number 0 232 103 092, it seems to be working fine, will have a 500 miles test this weekend. Abe
  6. It is a Bosch replacement, I don't have the number here at work.
  7. P0348 Error code on Boxster S. 2003, 36,000 miles On the old camshaft position sensor the round end of it was metal, the replacement is entirely covered with plastic. I understand that the it is and updated sensor, is this enclosed in plastic OK? Thanks! Abe
  8. :drive: I do all my repairs and maintenance, and have been for many years. I'm from the OLD school where you change your oil and filter every 3,000 miles, gradually I advanced to 5,000 miles using synthetic oil. The Boxster and BMW have oil change intervals of 12,000 to 15,000 miles. I have swithched to Amsoil 5w40 synthetic and will change oil at recommended intervals or once per year. I still change the oil filter every 5,000 miles. There is a ton of information out there on all oils if one has the time and desire.
  9. I haven't had any instances of rubbing, I'm running negative camber in front and rear. Abe
  10. I recently replaced the stock suspension on my new 2003 Boxster S with H&R springs and Bilstein sport shocks. I have seen no need to add spacers unless you do it for looks. Abe
  11. I don't believe they match as I noticed when assembling it the finishes were different.
  12. Interesting! I ordered the EAK, my dealer didn’t have it but was able to get it for me. I would have preferred the EWC. Many thanks! Abe
  13. I received two different part numbers for the 4 stalk assembly for the 2003 Boxster. They are 996 613 219 10 EWC and 996 613 219 00 EAK. Does anyone know the difference, the dealer couldn't help. The EWC number is more expensive than the EAK by about $18.00 - 20.00. Thanks Abe
  14. In an earlier post it was pointed out where to cut and where to grind to make your own short shifter. It appears that on the end of the Porsche and B&M shifter it is tapered and looks to have a groove cut in it. Does this need to be re-created after cutting it off. Thanks! Abe
