Hello. I'm not sure for MY03, but on my MY97, the transmission is a ZF 5HP19 that was also installed in other car like Audi A4 and VW passat. It's an easy DIY, and you can use VW/Audi oil G052162A02 or Pentosin ATF1 since it's cheaper an it's the same as the Porsche one. link to ZF transmission Link to a DIY of a 5HP19 Good luck

Hello. I've just got a reply from Durametric and they're working on a way to activate the OBC on Boxster and 996 and also on a way to Clear fault codes on alarm system... :thumbup: But this will not be very soon, they have about 600 hours invested in this, and are still not close to completion... I think that if they reach this goal, I will be the first to buy there Enthusiast Package... Keep up the good work. :cheers:

Throttle Body & Loose Vacuum Hose
El Acura replied to kbrandsma's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hello. These Vacuum hoses are connected to the flexible rubber sleeve. You should have 2 vacuum hoses, one on each sleeve. (see pictures) You need to reconnect them to avoid a check engine light. The Porsche part number seems to be like regular pipe 000 043 205 01 Good luck

Hello Robert. I've also imported a Porsche Boxster from the US, and I also got a cluster in MPH, but to pass the RIV inspection, you only need to switch the Digital display from MPH to KMH, It make no difference from them if your analog display is still show MPH but you need to have the odometer in KMH and the digital speedometer display in KMH. For the Boxster we switch from MPH to KMH by turning and holding the clock knob, I don't know about the Cayenne but it should be similar. Look in your Porsche manuals. Best regards

Hello White987. The main reason that I use 5W50, it's because I need to control oil consumption during summer driving. My car has almost 125 000km, and it needs good lubrication and wear protection like the 5W50 provide. Fact are that 5W50 is heavier in viscosity at room temp and under running condition. 0W40 remain liquid until -54 ºC with a viscosity of 105 at 40 ºC 5W50 remain liquid until -51 ºC with a viscosity of 80 at 40 ºC What I've notice is that the oil consumption is gone... Best regards.

Hello. I'm using it on a '97 Boxster without any problem. This oil can resist to higher temp than the 0W40. It's available at Wal-Mart in 5 litres and 1 litre. Best regards. El Acura, are you sure? Wal*Mart? I asked about 5W50 not 15W50. I don't even see it listed on Mobil's USA web-site. Thanks! Hello. I got Mobil 1 5W50 at Wal-Mart for $36 in 5 litres here in Canada. I was expecting them to have the same stock in US... Best regards. list of Mobil1 in Canada

Hello GranburyChuck. I didn't have any cel light, and no particular code for the solenoid problem. The solenoid was working, but was working very very slowly = poor shifting... The low tranny fluid cause high engine rev and miss shift between 4th and 5th gear due to the high volume of transmission fluid needed at high speed. Good luck

Boxster Engine Mount Replacement
El Acura replied to BoxsterRS's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Hello. For those of you in process of using flexane, read this. My engine mount was completely destroyed, and off position. :cursing: After reading previous post on the hardness of Flexane 80 and Flexane 94, I've done some research on this product and found that they've created a flexible product that reduces hardness. So, I've rebuild the original engine mount with flexane 80 but I've added Flexadd to the mix to reduce the hardness to 70 (more similar to the original rubber) This mix was great, I don’t have any vibration from the engine and flexane is holding great. The Flexane 80 and Flexadd were bought from Markingpendepot.com Good luck

Hello. I had a similar problem between 4th and 5th gear with my 1997 Tiptronic Boxster. I had the transmission check and they found two problems; the first was a very low level tranny fluid and the other was a defective solenoid. My suggestion is simple; take it to a good Porsche mechanic... Good luck. :drive:
