Stalling when engine hot - no code
tomas986 replied to veblenesque's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Was there a resolution for this issue? Any update? I am curious because I think my car has the exact same issue. -
I know this thread is old. I replaced the starter, and dumbo is also gone for me. Also, I broke my oil dip stick hose like scherb. Used epoxy and an larger tube to connect the broken hose together. Hope it holds.

Well, the epoxy and tube is holding. Will check periodically/weekly to make sure it is still OK. BTW, the new starter fixes the high-pitch-grinding noise at startup. YES!

Interior rattles - definitive list?
tomas986 replied to Gary H's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
My 99 986 has a few rattles (90K miles). The main annoying one is on the passenger side, coming from the top (I think). Couldn't really narrow it down. Now, I think I'm used to it... -
PK, That sounds like a good idea. thx.

Hi everyone, I replaced my starter for my 99 boxster yesterday via the instructions of the thread below. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?s...amp;#entry33634 The replacement is to fix the high-pitch-grinding noise at startup. The new starter is in place and ready to go. Unfortunately, in the process, I broke the oil dip stick hose (as warned by scherb in that thread :[ ). My question is if I need to replace hose? Or can I use epoxy to glue it back in? Would epoxy be able to withstand the heat and vibration? Or maybe use some kind of pipe fitting to connect to broken hose together? BTW, I have not started my car to see if the high-pitch-grinding noise if fixed or not. :( Any input would be must appreciated. Thanks, tomas

Instrument Cluster LCD not illuminated in 986
tomas986 replied to 2muchfast4u's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Just FYI, I just replaced the one of the bulbs in the instrument cluster. The left most bulb, which illuminates the odometer, went out a few weeks ago. The rest of the instrument panel lighting was OK. I used this link for instructions to separate the instrument cluster from the car. I actually did not need to remove all the wire connections to completely remove the cluster from the car. There were four wire connections to the cluster. http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/cluster.htm I didn't have to open up the instrument cluster. I just used a flat head screw drive to remove the bulb in the back of the instrument cluster, then put in the new bulb. That's it. This is a 99 Boxster. Hope this info helps. tomas
