Alarm causing problems
mankey replied to mankey's topic in 997-1 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 2S, Carrera 4S)
In the Durametric application I found the fault code against the Alarm section and locked on to that as the likely cause. The battery is not particularly old, it's a Bosch and fitted only around 3 months ago as a replaced to the original. Car is a 2007 Carrera S so the first battery lasted around 4½ years. This battery has not been load tested. Although as you say it is not likely to be connected, the next thing I'll do is to clear the fault and see if it comes back. Something else I've considered is checking the sensor in the glove compartment because from an earlier search I discovered that sometimes it works loose. I think it's at the back but can't get to it easily. I've been able to release the stay at the left hand edge but isn't there some way of releasing it so it falls down. I'm in the UK so it's a right-hand drive car, that means I'm looking for something on the right hand side of the lid that will release it. I appreciate you replying and thanks for your help. David -
After a few days of the alarm periodically going off, I'd appreciate anyone's take on this. My car is a 997-1 C2S and every so often the alarm goes off, for no apparent reason. I've use my Durametric Enthusiast tester to find the alarm code that's being triggered and it's revealed: 8004: Terminal 50 Upper limit value exceeded It doesn't mean anything to me so I contacted Durametric to try to identify the source of the problem, however they say they are not able to tell me what the code means. I didn't want them to solve my problem, just pinpoint where the problem lies, so I'm wondering whether anyone has access to a fault code list that might give some more information. I have a rough guess that it's not being triggered by one of the external sensors, for example the doors etc. Simply because the alarm has not sounded once I set it with a 'double-press' to deactivate the internal motion sensors, I guess it could possibly be the glove compartment or the center console sensors. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks

If these are the 19" SportDesign wheels, they are the ones I have on my Boxster and look really good. If they are 19" you're obviously not going to be able to fit 18" tyres on to these wheels. They're quite a firm ride, so convince yourself that you're satisfied with changing the characteristics of the way the car drives.

will a full sized spare fir in the rear trunk?
mankey replied to brianbucklew's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hi, I don't think there's any way you will fit a normal wheel in the trunk due to its depth. I have 19" wheels on my Boxster and don't have a hope. Some people have used 'space-saver' wheels that are obviously not as deep, but there's no room in the back for even these - would have to be stored in the front. Not having a spare should not prevent you using the car. You can always deal with minor issues with the sealant supplied or use a recovery service, although you must have thought of this.
