I made my own for MY98 Boxster and it worked for me. See link to url HERE
You are welcome to borrow it.

I replaced all 4 of mine over a year ago and got the same codes. It came on while engine was warm and at freeway speed and eventually after several drive cycles the light would go out. The time between CEL's gradually increased and when it came on it would gradually go out after fewer and fewer drive cycles. Eventually CEL went out and stayed out and I haven't had one in over 3 months and over 3,000 miles.
4 months and counting!

If you replace the oil filler pipe (part #19) be careful not to put stress on part #15. The ears that hold it to the engine block break easily. I found out the hard way and had to replace it as well.

hi Folks.
I'm planning on changing my exhaust at the weekend, and I'm just looking for a guide on how to do it. I have a rough idea, but its always handy to have a few photos to guide you.
Thanks

I would purchase the Bentley Manual. It sells for under $80 US. You can possibly get a used one in good condition for less. I replaced my RMS and clutch last winter and had to drop the exhaust and tranny to get to them. The Bentley manual was a must. Might try searching this web site.
All the best!

I would upgrade the sound system, de-snorkel the air intake, deamber the front, side and rear lights and install the 4 stalk OBC.

I made one for my 98 Boxster. Not sure about 996 but believe they are identical. You are welcome to borrow it. Worked for me.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Trieullionaire,
Tell us more about the Aero Body Kit, Where did you purchase? How much? How about the install. Looks great!
-
The door sills on eBay are offered by Harvey the same gentleman that sells the upgraded rear speaker kit. Excellent product, very reasonably priced, recommend highly!

Hi Peer,
Put your top in service position, remove your rear storage compartment and then your engine cover and check your engine compartment's drain tubes. It sounds like you have water in the collection trough that collects water and funnels it to the drain tubes. Search this site and you will find lots of information on drain tubes. Good luck!
-
It sounds like a faulty electrical connection to the alarm horn or a bad horn. You can take a 9 volt DC battery and check your horn. I replaced mine from Sunset for under $25 plus shiping from Oregon.
Good luck!

Is it possible that a previous owner had the steering wheel off and re-installed incorrectly? Do you have the OBC (on-board computer) turned on and a fourth stalk to operate it. When you add the OBC you have to remove the steering wheel. Just a thought.

I was able to only find mine in a matt finish.

Approaching 9 months and NO air bag light!
-
Definitely move it to the DYI section!
-
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats RFM! Enjoy your posts and your expertise!

I would also be interested in the DIY directions. I would also like to know if the link provided by nova996 is accurate?

Heated seats a must in the Seattle area. Some of the best days to drive with the top down here in Western Washington are in the fall. Heated seats make driving with the top down very comfortable and extends the season.

Agree, works like a charm!

Check out Mike Focke DYI page for great info:

I like "Sputter's" post , ejector seat button!

If the car is running OK other than the CEL, let it go and see if engine computer doesn't adapt.
