    can you explain what a can bus is and do you have wiring diagrams for the post facelift cluster i have the cluster just need to know how to wire it i am very experienced at wiring but do not know what the can bus is
  2. alstarz88
    so you used the original pre facelift wiring loom with a post facelift cluster did you cut the connectors from a post loom and wire them into the pre loom
  3. alstarz88
    are you changing the interior wiring loom as well cause i thought that the clusters pre/post clusters do not have the same connections

    Hi everyone what year cars was PSM introduced and can it be retro fitted i understand it will be hard and expensive but if you wanted to do it can it be done and what would need to be changed
  5. alstarz88
    yes i have headlight washers the water seems to come from the left side i also am quite sure it is from infront of the wheel but im not 100% sure
  6. alstarz88
    i have a leak and i don't know where i fill the washer bottle up and within two days the light is back on even if i haven't used it. i have replaced the washer bottle and the same thing. i think one of the pumps is leaking but can't be sure any one had the same problem and can shed some light on it. Ross boxster 98 2.5l

    had th same problem with mine when i went underneath i saw the stud and bolts that go between the cats and the manifolds had rusted away quite common apparently sounds fine on idle rattles when accelerating also check heat shields on the exhaust the bolts on those have he same problem

    hi i know it has been sometime since you posted this but the answer you are looking for is that yes they have two seperate motors on the washer bottle it is in the passenger front wing (on english cars might be different abroad) and you probably just need to replace it they are available at most car repair shops. don't know about the speed sensor though got to be on the gearbox somewhere but it could be a fault withthe instrument cluster take it to a dealer and get thm to read the error codes just to be sure

    bump on this question, i dont see why it cant be done i'v had a couple of 1600cc vw motors built to 2332cc's and they have been very dependable and very strong motors This doesn't necessarily answer your question: I think there are other differences other than 'just' the bore and stroke between the various 2.5 / 2.7 / 3.2 / 3.4 / 3.6 / 3.8 units. there was an article on this in porsche world magazine which said that all the engines are essentially the same apart from bore and stroke oh and wiring Egas etc but the core engine is the same

    if you buy the faclift bumper you will need the spoiler top as well as far as i am aware they are the same shape appart from the spoiler and diffusers so should just swap over the people to speak to are jasmine motorsport www.jasmine-motorsport.co.uk they do a facelift conversion kit

    hi everyone, i need to repair my seats with some dye it is available on ebay if i just know what gray CC is it is a 98 boxster Thanks for the help
  19. alstarz88
    ok but it would be a good time to upgrade the shocks i already have the main parts and i cant find a tiptronic car in the condition and spec that i want plus i don't think i can get what i want for mine either
  20. alstarz88
    hi everyone i have had my boxster 2.5 for a year now and it is time to modify it my plans include a 3.4 conversion but at the moment i am working on converting it to a tiptronic. this all started when i saw a tip gearbox online cheap and has now been spurred on by clutch problems so instead of replacing the clutch i am going to convert to tip. i have already gearbox torque converter gear selector brake pedal i need (as far as i know) wiring loom + 2 tip ecu's cluster steering wheel my question is is there anything else i need i.e flywheel and does anyone have any advise other than sell the car and buy a tip. so far i have only spent £200 pounds
  21. alstarz88
    have you checked the AFM
  22. alstarz88
    yes it should have one touch up and down sometimes it does stops working on mine and with the instructions above starts working again if it still doesn't work after following the instructions then it will be something electrical
  23. alstarz88
    thas great cheers
  24. alstarz88
    the light doesn't stay on and it hasn't come on again
  25. alstarz88
    so if you wanted to do it you would have to replace the whole loom do you know wether the boxster loom is all one thing or does it come in segments i am planning on upgrading to tiptronic as i have picked up the box cheap and when i replace the loom im considering replacing it with a 2003 one as there is one available locally
