water pump replacement DIY
Hi, This is my first attempt to do a write up, hopfully this can help some people out. Here are the tools that you need: 1. hose clamp 2. spring-band clamp pliers 3. Torx socket 4. flexible head socket wrench First, you need you to remove underside panel to get to the coolant hoses. Then clamp shut coolant hoses with hose clamps. Then, undo drain plug at water guide housing and collect coolant. Next, undo pring-band clamps with pliers.

Hi all,
Recently the water pump gave up and caused coolant leaking, also broke the drive belt. Going to replace the water pump and belt, is there anything else I should do while I'm at it? like thermostat? is it necessary or just an option? someone mentioned to me to check the belt tensioner/idler pulleys, should I change those too? Thanks! :) :D

HI all,
Recently I came across a set of rims, but really don't know if those will fit a 01 boxster? the specs are 18 x 8 1/2 et50 front and 18 x 11 et52 in the
rear... I was told by some that it's not gonna fit and some say it'll fit if spacer is used... is this rim going to fit or not?? any one shine some light on it? the
front will go on fine, it's the rear... or 18 x 10 et 65 I'll be fine? thanks in advance! :thumbup:

thanks! I'll try this out first see if that works...

Hi all, I'm new to this board, but I have to say this is one very helpful board for porsche owners!! :renntech: anyway, recently I changed the battery and radio would need the code (which I lost it) just happened to have a alpine deck around so I decided to put it in... after everything works fine... but the only thing is I get that annoying static sound coming from speakers... does any one had this problem too? is it my wiring? (has to be, right? the factory HU worked fine) my car is a 2001 base model with the amp and door speakers... any one know a solution to this? any help would be appreciated, thanks!!! :thumbup:
