Hi

I have recently replaced my MAF but im pretty sure my AOS is gone aswell the car runs better with then new MAF but idle is still rough and there is oil on the top of the engine under the AOS and oil in the pipe to the throttle has loads of oil in it so looks like been gone for some time my question is has the AOS gone and what is the part number

Ross

both my mirrors are electric and heated so it must be one of the others but what the hell is C25 then it is an english car

also cant find 398 or 232

hi just got home and wrote all my codes down mine starts off C25

i did but there is no C codes on there when i get home i will get all my option codes but im sure i could not find the country code anywhere i have the paperwork from the sale it it was bought from porsche in england

should just have to just change the bulbs to audi or seat ones

do your climate control lights come on

the original lightronics use expensive halogen side light bulbs can you get led versions og them they are not 194 i think they are 242's or something thay are about £5 (uk) a bulb and shine yellow which spoiles the HID

what is the option code for uk my car is a uk car but has the code c24

Option Codes Lookup

C24 = New Zealand

maybe its c23 then c22 is uk right

thank you

i have placed the order

hi

i need the above part number so i can pick one up from the breakers

what is the option code for uk my car is a uk car but has the code c24

it was quick fit a large chain in england

i have the same problem i have never had a chime but my light worked now it doesnt if you fiddle with the buckle it comes on for a second so i guess i need a new buckle

Ross,

AC systems don't purge themselves, it has a leak if the refridgerant is gone, plain and simple. Tell them to try harder or find another specialist.

The AC can come on regardless of temperature, for example the defrost mode in ALL late model cars will triger the AC to speed up the evaporation process of condensation on the windshield.

If the system is vacant of refridgerant then the AC compressor would not trigger under any circumstance unless a previous owner removed the high or low pressure sensor switches, which is highly unlikly.

Sounds like you need a better AC troubleshooter. AC is very confusing to those who are not knowledable but once you invest the time it's a very easy system to troubleshoot...only a few things can go wrong.

hi thanks for the reply

when the ac is switched on the pump kicks in as the revs at idle lower for a second could this be something to do with it also when they charged it for a second time it worked fine for a couple of weeks then all of a sudden was empty again when i asked them about it they said something about a purge valve that maybe faulty

"they should match..."

Maybe not.

First, I don't see a difference in the pictures....

But, be that as it may, the new head light assembly came with a new HID ballast. The allowable manufacturing tolerances for the ballasts may be a factor. Or is the new ballast even of the same manufacture??

One other point. Some of the newer HID assemblies have a UV rejection coating on the inside of the outer plastic lens/cover. But I don't know if the would result in a visible difference to the human eye.

Maybe.

the right hand one doesn't seem to be aligned to me the light seems to be hitting the reflecter thats round it where as the other one is going straight out HID lights colour changes depending on the angle they are viewed at i think

If you think it is your MAF disconnect it i have been running my car without it connected as it had flat spots and seemed like the throttle was sticking the revs would hold really high got a new one on order

Hi

I had an issue with my boxster 1998 2.5 manual last summer and now summer is coming again all be it a long way away i want to get i fixed.

i had the air conditioning recharged last summer then drove to wales where i didn't use it when i came back (I live in essex) the air con wasn't working took it back to where it got recharged they tested it and said there was no coolant left in the system so they recharged it they vacuum tested it and said there was no cracks it seemed to have purged itself

anyone encountered this or no what to do

the other thing is on my climate control if i set it to auto the ac comes on no matter what the temp is outside to my understanding it is only supposed to come on when the temp is over 3 degress

thanks in advance

My car makes this odd tapping noise when starting. No other time you can hear it in this You tube clip.

Just as he is starting you'll notice a loud quick burst of defined tapping. It kind of sounds like when you pull the hand brake quickly.

Many Thanks and Happy Holidays!

sounds like a starter motor fault like the cog not retracting fast enough best take it to a specialist

hi

I have a leak.

i noticed there was some mould or mildew on the carpet behind the passenger seat and when i wiped i noticed the carpet was wet. i lifted the carpet up and there was a puddle underneath. has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it

boxster 2.5 manual 98

My 2000 leaked from the hose where it was connected to the bottom of the tank. All was accessible by partial removal of left-side fender liner.

Jef

it was the rubber gromit that the washer motoer for the windscreen pushes into modified it and no leak

Only the later cars used a CAN bus system. Essentially rather than a single wire transmitting a single signal between the various controls of the car, many signals are passed over a single twisted pair of wires. For example there is a CAN bus network between the cluster and the engine DME, there is another between the radio, the cluster, and the ABS/PSM controller.

If you have a tiptronic it is on another CAN bus network.

Todd

no its a 98 manual with TC climate memory seats is it not possible to do on a 98 car

looked it up on the glossary has my car got this it's a 2.5 what do i need

still answering my own questions all i need is where can i get the connectors plus the extras for the extra wires and a wiring diagram

im based in england but anywhere that has email will do

Cheers its good to see other people who like pushing the envelope on what can be done to a car
