Hello all on renntech !! I have heard that you can replace the dash speakers on the 986 boxster as you all will know that they are no the best standard speaker set up .. My cars a 98 model with no upgraded system fitted. Ive read that you can fit aftermarket speakers which are the 10cm/4" ones & these will attatch to the orignal speaker grills on the dash . Just that i have seen some 3 way speakers which might do the job but not 100% .. If anybody knows about this please let us know as id be very greatful on the advice to guide me in the right direction. Cheers Matt

Just glad i havent had a bill to pay out as im a bit short on money after xmas !!

Hello again i have tonight replaced all the plugs & replaced 2 of the coils which were split i still, have the same problem i have checked the alarm module & it is wet so going to have to sort the leak out & dry the carpet .. I really dont think it is anything to do with that alarm module presonally .. Just a bit strange this buzzing noise appeared out the blue under the trim on drivers side & wouldnt run properly after so I think im gonna strip the trim tommorow to see what was making that noise under the trim as something under there isnt wright... Does anybody know whats located under the drivers side interior sill trim RHD uk car ??? is there any relays located there ??? Cheers for the help ... Matt

Hi mate the battery has been fine but could do with checking it like you say before stripping car , not sure the best way to check though as i cant take to a garage .. All lights on dash are bright & starts first time just doesnt want to stay running on its own .. Might clean the MAF sensor tommorow to see if that helps as well going to be a busy day !! .. Just have to be carefull with my plastic window with this cold weather we have round here dont want to crack it again ... Thanks Matt

RFM , Hi mate thanks for that think you know what im on about the buzzings coming from under the trim . where you pull the lever in the car to open the bonnet/boot . What does this control i.e does it control anything to do with the engine as its not running as it shoul since this started making the noise , Checked all fuses this morning all are fine took it to the petrol to see if was anything to do with the fuel . Didnt drive so well was lack of power & trying to cut out , The buzzing noise had gone on the start of the journey but as i was putting car back on the drive noise started up again but went off preety much straight away , Im able to to keep the battery on now as the noise isnt there now when cars not running. Thanks Matt

Juniinc , Hi mate sorry mate its the lever which opens the boot & bonnet from inside the car .. Cheers bud Matt

Hi mate i thought it was the fuel pump to, the buzzing is continuous if the engines running or not , the car has electric seats but the sound is coming from under the bonnet & boot catch so wouldnt of thought it would be that. Very strange not sure how to dismantle the trim to have a look behind the sill to check bit weird as since the noise started the car wont run as it should .. Cheers Matt

Hi all need a bit of advice on whats up with my Boxster 2.5 98 model. Was chenging my wheel this morning & a buzzing noise started up from the drivers side sill (inside of car) just down the side of the seat. The sound is continuous so ive had to disconnect the battery incase it causes any damage. Tried starting the car to see if it would go but the noise still is there , car idles very lumpy & will not idle just cuts out. any advice would be most appreciated Thanks Matt
