I have mine for a MY98 Green with Savannah Beige Interior, M490, 5 speed, TC and Sports Package

I recently purchase an Escort 9500ix and I am very satisfied with it. Link to Radar Roy's Buyer's Guide

Hi Gus, Sometimes when you reinsert the headligt assembly, the headlights (female) receptacle does not fully engage with the stationary light receptacle (male). Before slideing in the ligts, check and see how firm and stationary the male receptacle is. They break off fairly easy and /or a wire gets lodged between them. Some people remove the inner wheel well cover and manually check after you snap the lights in. Just my 2 cents worth.

Just did my 60K maintenance. I got my parts from Sunset, clearly the best prices. Did not need coils however as mine were in excellent shape. Tool Pants suggested in another post to only replace one side at a time and then start and check for misfires. It is easier to narrow the problem to three at a time if you do have a misfire rather than do all six.

Found another post that gives more detail on the OEM brand from Autozone. Link click here

You can also check the "J" tube that goes from the AOS to the throttle body and check for standing oil. The Boxster is a flat 6 cyclinder engine so an ocassional white smoke at start-up is to be expected. If no oil in "J" tube, no regular regular smoke even after initial start-up, and no oil consumption, I would not worry about it.

Autozone sells a three bit set 10mm, 12mm and 14mm by OEM.

Had a similar probelem recently with a CDR-220 unit. Took it to a local shop and for about $80.00 they were able to repair. In the CDR 220 there was a piece that came detached and the repair was simple.

Glad to hear it!

The driver's side sleeve has a vacuum line that runs from it (intake distributor) to the pressure regulator. The pressure regulator is located on the fuel ring pipe that provides fuel to each of your 6 injector valves. The pressure regulator is near the air box where you change your air filter. It is right before the fuel return line. The pressure regulator can be found in section 24-10 of the Bentley Manual. The manual is less than $100 and a good investment. Rembember you get more bees with honey that you do with vinegar.

Does this help?

If you look behind the the right front tire wheel shield you will be able to find the pull cable. Here is a DIY for the 1997-04 (986) Boxster that is also applicable to the 996. Easier to find when the trunk latch is operable and you can remove the headlight and move the pull ring to the tow plug in the bumper. Press here for DIY

Is there anyone available in the Redondo Beach, CA area that would be willing to pick up some Porsche audio parts from a local residence. I would be more than willing to cover any of your expenses. (mileage and trouble). PM me if you are interested and/or willing. Thanks in advance!

I sprayed mine with a clear glossy coat and can't tell the difference. It has been going on 3 years now.

I have dropped the bumper two months ago and gave both radiators a thorough cleaning.

I had the same thing happen to me this summer in my 986. After a careful anaylsis I found a piece of my plastic undercarriage cover had cracked and would dangle and vibrate at 80+ mph.

To get complete access to the radiator, you will have to remove the front bumper, but you can start to investigate by removing the front fasteners for the wheel well liner and pulling the liner back. If you have to remove the front bumper, use Skyler's excellent DIY for cleaning out the radiators and it will be a snap, here: http://www.realtime.net/~rentner/Porsche/R...r/Radiator.html With any luck, it will only be a loose or cracked clamp! Regards, Maurice. Thanks Maurice, I take a closer look this evening.

This morning I noticed antifreeze under the passenger side's radiator. I plan on taking a closer look this evening. I was wondering if anyone has dealt with this before. Did you find a bad radiator that needed replacement? A faulty hose or connection? Is this a DYI job? Did you have to remove the front bumper? Or can you get to it via the wheel wheel. Anyhelp with what to expect is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if a CDR23 radio will work in a 1977 911S? How about a CDR-210 or 220? What is the stock unit in a 1977 911S? Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased a CDR-220 Radio/CD player that came shipped with a CD already in the unit. On using the injection button it tries to eject it but stops part way. Does anyone have any suggestions for removing it? Thanks in advance!

Your lights are repairable and easy to fix but will take about an hour of labor. You can either take them to a reputable detailing shop that performs headlight restoration or you can go to Wal-Mart and buy a kit for about $20.00. I have used them repeatedly with great success. DO NOT use the machine pads for the very reasons you wrote this. It takes a skilled hand to prevent heat from building up on the disks causing the swirl marks you have. The kit from Wal-Mart will be done entirely by hand and will take you about 30 minutes a light if you follow the directions carefully. Heres the link Headlight Restoration Good luck, GW B) While you're at WalMart and before you invest $20 and an hour of your time, you should check their Auto Service center in the back. The WalMart in Westminster, CA I know they will do the headlight restoration for you for $38.00. I went DIY, spent longer than an hour working on it and the job still didn't come out perfect. For $18 extra, if I could do it again, I'd just have them do it. What I'd like to know is if anyone has tried baking their headlights to open them up. I know people have to do this to do aftermarket H.I.D. installations. My lenses (next to the bulb) are burned inside and I'd like to try to clean them up. Not sure there is anything you can do with the burned lense. Perhaps take an older amber pair and split them too and put the clear 996 lights over the top of them. Has anyone been able to remove the burned look?

Awesome, they look great!

In addition to things already mentioned: 1. Over inflate your tires a few pounds and park on plywood. Move car a foot or so every 2 to 3 weeks. 2. Check and prevent investation of rodents by plugging exhaust and then place a note on your key chain to remove plug. 3. Get battery maintainer to keep battery charged. 4. When bringing out of hibernation, push car in reverse to get some oil circulation started prior to starting.
