  1. I've a Boxster S 6 speed manual MY00 USA with 25k miles. I bought it with about 15k miles on it and have always had the following problem. I've researched it here, but have come to no solution. I think it's been alluded to, but not specifically addressed. Here goes: No unusual noises upon startup at any speed/rpm, but after it's warmed up it starts making a howl or whine that seems to be vibration based. Here's the kicker. It does it at about 2000 rpm and will go away under 1900 or above 2100 rpm. I've changed oil and filter and thought I had it licked, but to no avail. But, methinks it's hydraulic pressure relief valve related Kind of like you can rattle or vibrate your water pipes in your house when you snub down your outside faucet. I'm almost thinking there was a tech note on this board on replacing some spring in the oil distribution system, but I'm old and could be wrong. Any help would be much appreciated, since now I drive WAY over 2000rpm and the whine is coming from the passenger seat.
  2. nother 15 minutes of research and I think I found the answer on the 996 DIY area: http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=493 Found a switch on ebay from JoeTLC for 12.95 plus $8 shipping...not bad.
  3. 2000 Boxster S In a nutshell here's the problem: Sporadically ( about twice a week) when I get into the car, engage the emergency brake, push in the clutch (6 speed manual), and turn the key clockwise. But, it might not start right off the bat because I'm in a hurry and didn't hold the start position long enough. So, I turn the key back rapidly counter clockwise and some times go too far into the accessory position. If that happens, it takes me a good five to ten minutes of playing around to get it turned clockwise into the normal OFF position and onward to finally start it. Key looks good, led light and locking/unlock functions are OK and the car has only 17,000 miles on it. This is starting to drive me nuts. Is there a solution? Thanks.
  4. I can't get that second link to work...is something missing?
