    If your dealer is unable to adjust a door/lock as it should, i would find an other dealer.

    You are correct, the high pressure circuit is powered by the steering pump (as assistance) and used the PENTOSIN fluid from the reservoir on the pump. The low pressure circuit use the same PENTOSIN fluid (IMPORTANT!!!) that are contained in a reservoir under the black trim, below the front windshield, left side of the car, and be bleed on the slave cylinder.

    Have you checked, as already mentioned, the cylinder head on porosity or a leaked cylinder head gasket? Both problems occurs on Turbo engines.

    It's recommended to read out the control boxes with a diagnostic tool first, a CEL light off does not mean that there are no codes stored in the control boxes. A possible error without codes, in case of lack of power in the lower RPM, are malfunctioning butterfly valves inside the black transverse intake tubes (between the L. and R. intake manifolds).

    Tucked between the cooling water tubes, engine left front side (rear side of the car) on the camshaft.

    No, 987 and 997 use no longer a dip stick (since 05)

    The key is that the rear wheels are free of pressure, other wise the rear sub frame will deform too much and than it become difficult to reinstall the plate.
  8. RFM
    The best way to install is with the wheels off the ground, car on jack stands or lift. It's not so difficult but i do not know your options.
  9. RFM
    Because the car shows code P0102 MAF, i would start with that and clear the rest.

    I would check the voltage output directly on the rear of the alternator, with a good voltmeter. Check the voltage also on the battery and note the difference between both results, they must been aprox. the same (1 volt difference is too much). Check also the ground between: alternator and engine - engine and car body - car body and battery, resistance in main power cable. These are the most common power load problems if the car is equipped with a GOOD battery, a GOOD alternator and regulator, occasionally the DME can be faulty, he controls the load via the thin blue wire on the alternator but is very rare, i think your US car is not using already this system but you never know. If you cant do it by yourself, bring your car to a car electrical specialist such as a BOSCH center.

    Bought by myself, non. Have ridden all types since the seventies till 08 by profession, every six month a new one (company cars) The Boxsters are owned by my wife.

    minny would be sure, in the first place, what exactly is happened. Replacing the total content of ATF, on the conventional way wont work, because the half of it remains in the converter and is not drain able without removing the gearbox.
  13. RFM
    If the engine cranks like there is no compression, than is the mean reason "sticking valves" 1) wrong oil viscosity, too thick in combination with cold outside temperatures (hydraulic lifters keeps the valves slightly open) 2) dirt and carbon on the valve stems (use a cleaner in the fuel for several tank fillings, ones you get the engine running)

    (5) Remove the fuel pump fuse, and it will be OK.
  15. RFM
    Simple, the OEM one's. No problems with, decent product and acceptable priced.

    It depends on where the trans axle oil has been gained, ZF Tiptronic use trans axle oil in the differential part of the gearbox, but not 5 litre. If the trans axle oil is gained in the gear box/hydraulic bloc/torque converter/ATF oil cooler part of the Tiptronic, where usually the ATF oil must be filled, then the box should be removed, cleaned and inspected for wear. I can not imagine that this can happen in a (reputable) workshop. If i where you, i would drive the car no longer until everything is checked and corrected.
  17. RFM
    Under warranty replaced PCM units are 99.9% rebuilds in Europe, will be the same in US.
  18. RFM
    Take a look if it does not leak from between the cylinder head and the engine bloc (cyl. head gasket)
  19. RFM
    You will need the actual fault codes to be sure what exactly is wrong, there were some workshop actions in the past concerning airbag problems, contact your dealer for the cost.
  20. RFM
    You can find them in the front and rear, left and right wheel hub carriers.
  21. RFM
    Why am i not surprised ?
  22. RFM
    Probably one ore more faulty sensors, mainly the two extremes, above the exhaust pipes, there always remains mud hanging around. Do a check with a PIWIS or similar diagnostic tool first to be sure.

    http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...=cruise+control Welcome, perhaps it helps.

    The bolt shown in your pic needs a triple square allen key instead of Torx.
  25. RFM
    If there is power on the system, a control of the switch is recommended.
