Well, I bought the pair of lights. According to the owner, they came off a 2001 Carrera when he bought it new and they were replaced with Litronics before it left the dealership. He has since sold the car and had no need for the lights, which I got for $415. We'll see if they're as advirtised as they should be here on monday. Wooo-hooo. De-amber complete! Jeff

DOH! Thanks for pointing out the obvious, I was so worried about other things I overlooked the DOT sticker. Thank you to you and Loren. Jeff

Loren, Thanks for you quick replies. I have pictures of the front of the lights and they are definitely "clear" takes-offs from a carrera. I was just worried that the different part number indicated a foreign (ROW) part number or something that would be incompatible with a US car. Jeff

So, what exactly does that mean? The lights are supposedly wholly intact and in working condition from a seller in th US. What else could the disparity in part #'s be? Do the Bosch part numbers from the above picture cross reference correctly? Thanks again.

I have a light question too. I'm looking into buying a pair pf Carrera lights for my 02 Boxster and the seller is listing the part number as 996.631.064.20. The lights are clear halogens and the part number is visible in the attached picture taken from the listing. Pelican lists the clear halogen part number as 996.631.164.20. So what's the difference between the two (996.631.064.20 vs 996.631.164.20). Thank for your time Jeff

Porsche vs Audi/VW ignition switch
jl1252 replied to ettil's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
I just replaced the ignition switch in my 02 Boxster and I'm pretty certain the switch is the same. When I pulled the old one out it was an Audi part with Audi logo. The one I put in I purchased from a VW dealership and it was also an Audi part. For reference, the Audi/VW part number is 4A0908549B. If you go the dealership route, I think they no longer replace just the switch, you get a new steering lock with a newly designed switch for a lot more money. And the newly designed switch isn't comapitble with the old steering lock. Jeff -
Don't know about your tires, but I too, have the infamous vibration that occurrs between 3-3500 RPMs. My money is on the motor mount. I'll probably have mine replaced under my extended warranty. No tool is needed to remove your spark plug tubes. I simply inserted my thumb and pressed it against the inner wall and pulled. Every one came right out wihtout the need of any special tool. There are two 'O' rings per tube and both had flat spots along their entire circumference which I suspected was the cause of my oil leaks. The manual also calls for a special tool for inserting new tubes, but again, none is really necessary. I was able to exert more than enough force to pop them back into place. Good luck, Jeff
