    Loren, the part in question is not on the image. JK probably meant the two quick lock screws belonging to the lid of the tool kit/tire repair kit holder, which is located near the fire wall, on the bottom of the trunk, under part # 1 (997 C2/ 987). Is it possible that the tool kit illustration contains the needed parts?

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/39889-navigation-issue/ however, the answer was already given in your other topic.

    At the same time i would replace the oil Pressure sensor, they are often a source of annoyance. You can find, and clear, the codes on oil pressure, brake fluid level, etc. in the menu "Combi Instrument" (instrument cluster) if available on Durametric, if not use a PIWIS.

    No, the radio goes not in mute mode. You can set the navigation voice louder or quieter versus the radio voice through the PCM menu, the how to do is included in the PCM manual delivered together with the maintenance manual. If you do not have received the manual, he will be here on this site ready to down load.

    Any decent shop should be able to do an alignment, be sure they have the right specs for your type car/suspension. Do not forget to top up the fuel tank before the alignment take place.

    This is one of the known problems with panoramic roof, first you have to find out if the squeaking comes from the unit (roof frame) itself or the glass plates.

    I agree concerning the allu./silic. mix in the entire engine block, some of the water cooled flat six engines are suffering with the same issue. What was remarkable about the problem is that it always was one of the front cylinders showed that issue, not random, both the V8, mostly Turbo, and the flat six. I have seen about eight or nine of these till 2009 when i retired. However, i would be surprised if it was ever caused by foreign bodies. I think they know more on this issue in Stuttgart.

    Piwis includes a special menu in which the ignition possition can be avoided to do some test in case of a faulty steering column for example, which is a possible cause of your problem also. That option is missing or not working well with a PST2, as far as i remember.

    Sorry for the wrong info in this case, over here the pump only run when the management put the system in open loop mode, for example when the O² sensors are not warmed up, cold engine, etc. to dilute in such circumstances the too rich exhaust emissions. Perhaps a difference in local legislation.

    belleriver, if i were you i would take a second look, you write in your first post literally, and i quote, "the only other time i heard it was when i got off the highway after about 2 hours of driving" The air pump cant run under this circumstance - hot engine - unless there is something wrong with the management systems, a PIWIS diagnostic tool is needed in that case.
  11. RFM
    If there is no error code visible on the scanner tool (PIWIS or similar), changing both the ATF fluid as the transmission oil is always the cheapest way and often effective, i would do that to start with.

    Remains the same sound with clutch depressed? Has been tried with the poly V belt removed? When the noise is gone than, check all the pulleys.

    The length of the antenna wire is indeed important, depending the used frequency (Hertz). US and Europe use, for example, a different frequency and a different length of the antenna wire. Anyway, it can also be the remote or the receiver inside the control box as well.

    There must exist an elastic band at the bottom of the top layer, between the inner layers of the fabric, across the width of the convertible top, which pull both outer edges to the middle. Weird that they have not noticed that when removing the old convertible top.

    The larger M96/97 bearings are only as of MY 2006 fitted.

    Oil in the coolant from a broken AOS is not possible cause lack of pressure on the oil, there is only a thick oil mist present inside the AOS where by a swirl motion and some obstacles, air and residual oil becoming separated, the air goes in to the intake manifold, the residual oil drips in a natural way in to the sump. Coolant in the oil could be theoretical possible for 996 AOS since they are heated on top by the coolant, but i've never seen that phenomenon.

    Sorry Loren, it is rather the CANBUS system gateway control box, MOST is optic IMHO.

    If the spoiler wont go up or down (fully) while driving, the system will, if all goes well, give a visual and/or acoustic signal on the dash.

    There is a good change that the compressor starts to hang by excessive internal resistance caused by too much or too little oil, failing AC system, etc. or simple a bad bearing. Let check this it out first.

    Since the car is under full warranty (2012) i would visit the dealer for a check with PIWIS 2, could be a program error or a control box fail. Certainly not self-experimenting with during the warranty period.

    For LHD Boxster Cyl.3: (Bank1 passenger side) closest to the gearbox.
  22. RFM
    P 1315 refers to cyl.3 misfire (bank 1 - pass. side LHD 986/7) check the coil connector for proper fitting and don't forget to inspect the #3 injector + connector as well. The misfire concept encompasses more than ignition problems only.
  23. RFM
    As mentioned by wvicary, more information would be more opportunities to help. The start motor is electronically protected by a timer, it is therefor normal that the start motor shut off after approx. 15 sec. if the engine fails to start.
  24. RFM
    If the start motor is not activated during the start procedure, check the double functional brake light switch first, the Tiptronic switch is also a possibility but rather exceptional. If the start motor is activated and the engine will not run it could be anything as ignition system, fuel system, sensors etc. The help of a diagnostic tool is recommended in that case.
  25. RFM
    The oil level should always be at the right level, before starting examination concerns excessive oil consumption/smoke. I would do that first, then do a test drive, the exhaust should be very hot since he is completely contaminated inside with oil residues, and take a look if the smoke is reduced. A bad new AOS is rather exceptional, the cause of the problem may be elsewhere.
