  1. Any one out there replaced their clutch? I can't seem to find the thread on Renntech. I know there's got to be one or two out there. I have a boxster 1998 non-s model. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
  2. Would it burn the headlight housing and cause a yellowing on the housing? Just wondering if the HID gets too warm..but it looks nice. Been thinking about changing out mine. Thanks for doing a write up. Now I know I can do it.
  3. yeah you can use the female hex socket...but I decided to buy one online. Found one on ebay. Just keep checking ebay.
  4. thanks! I wouldn't use brake grease - I would use the Porsche anti-vibration pads.
  5. Any reason why we shouldn't grease the back of the brake pads(not the one touching the rotors) but the one touching the pistons...I just did my brake pads on the rear and I put on some disc brake quiet grease...just needed to know what would happen greasing up the back of the pads...thanks
  6. Anyone knows the trick? I know it's almost Summer, but this would be good to know in Winter. Thanks! I found this website but it didn't say HOW to do...Just shows a guy messing with some electronic parts in the rear trunk... CLICK HERE
  7. I saw this on YOU TUBE...planning on paintning my other car(C230 Kompressor). check it out :
  8. so, how do you fix this problem? thanks Thanks very much for the detailed reply. I plan to follow this up w/ my mechanic.
  9. Loren, Your the admin - and I realize you have your reasons and I respect that. Let me be clear though, we don't have a partnership with them. I did offer to help them out with some interior upgrades for a rebuild project they are planning on doing and it is simply my way of thanking Karl. My point is, we have no affiliations with Fiberwerks nor do we have any financial interests in "advertising" for them. Like Jerry, I'm a customer of Fiberwerks and I sincerely believe they have something of value to offer to the Porsche community. Loren, they are more than just a company, they are good people that do honest work, and their products are stellar. My hope is that others will get a chance to appreciate some of Karl's creations and I would vouch on his behalf any day. But just to set the record straight, they are not my company's partner(s). Thanks. Ok, just don't overdo it. You are welcome to recommend folks here -- but you also sell something and this board has a strict policy about no commercial posting. Good catch loren...I've seen these pictures everywhere...On ebay...The same photos and the same stories...Then when they get their attention, of course they'll ask where they got them, and how much it cost..And then they mention their website...It's a 100% advertisement...
  10. I read about this here at renntech and I know mine will be next:(..but I am ready to changed it out myself...
  11. hey thanks...someone suggested pull it out and turn it 180 degrees. Is that even possible? doesn't it only go one way to the connector???
  12. will try to work on it this weekend. I got a new codes besides those four that I just listed. The new code is P0137 Oxygen Sensor After Catalytic Converter (Cylinders 1 - 3) - Signal Wire Short Circuit to Ground or Incorrect :angry:
  13. It's not a walker or bosche..Here is the link from oxygen geek.com. I don't recommend these oxygen sensors. So stay away from these guys!!!Might as well buy the bosch ones from the dealership....I tried to contact oxygen geek.com but they haven't replied or returned any of my calls....it's a scam!!! here is the link to their website: OXYGENGEEK.COM OXYGEN SENSOR DO NOT BUY!!! I'll just put the old ones back and will try to return it....wish me luck..
  14. Can you provide a bit more info - year/model, and describe the O2 sensor (direct fit / universal)? They might have sent you the wrong sensors, and you may want to double-check your connections (particularly, if the sensors are universal with a spliced connector). it is for a 1998 boxster, direct fit.......
  15. Ok, I just replaced all four oxygen sensors. I haven't driven the car since I replaced the water pump, belt, spark plugs, and oxygen sensors. After 15 minutes of warming up the car, the check engine light came on:(. Here are the codes: P1115 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 After Catalytic Converter - Above Upper Limit P1117 Oxygen Sensor Heating 1 After Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit P1119 Oxygen Sensor Heating 2 Ahead of Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit P1121 Oxygen Sensor Heating 2 After Catalytic Converter - Below Lower Limit Any ideas on how to fix this issues??? I erased the codes myself using my OBD...but not really sure if it will come back again. I got the oxygen sensors from oxygen geek.com... Thank you
  16. and here is another link I got from TOOL PANTS!! COOLANT PUMP
  17. My car is a 1998 986 and I had to replace the pump with only 46,000 miles on the car....Renntech.org has a lot of good people to help you out...and a lot of good information to get the job done... :renntech:
  18. I just replaced my water pump due to leaks and the thermostat..if it's your water pump, it's a really simple process..all you need is time and patience... here are the links:http
  19. Okay, a few points for the record: My wife took my pants while I was in the shower (I know TMI). I always empty my pockets after I get out of the shower and in my new pants. My wife is a very successful business woman and doesn't need money found in the laundry. I probably do more housework than my wife as we have a housekeeper and about the only thing we (I) do is take out the trash. It was a rare occasion that she did laundry. We have a 16 week old baby and a 4 yo so as for sex.....you get what you get when you can get it :) That being said, how does all this get my darn key fixed? This board has been pretty light hearted lately. Must be summer :) Will this is funny stuff! :D
  20. Thanks TOOL PANTS!!! Once again, you have answered my question!!! :thumbup: :thankyou:
  21. Just press the release on the connector (red circle on attached photo) and pull down. Photo shows passenger side O2 connector before the catalytic converter. Derek thanks Derek but your connector is different than mine...
  22. Need help!! I've been trying to pull my oxygen sensor off for half hour now and it seems that it is stuck from the connector. Is there a proper way or technique on how to remove it from the electrical connector? Thank you
