    Hi there, my 1999 996 C4 is having the same mysterious prob this week. I can manually lock doors, but key is not opening remotely with strong LED lighty thing and fresh remote battery. Would be interested in whether monro86 issue has been resolved and what the solution was. Thanks! This is really strange. A lot of people are having similar issues, including myself. Tried out the battery and tried out all the possible solutions posted here at the forum and it still does not work. :renntech:

    Thanks Loren...I just want to make sure because the spark plugs I bought was for a 2.5L Have you look at the oxygen sensor I bought from oxygen geek.com? Would there be any difference between the bosch from oxygeeks?? thanks jc: If you don't want to spring for the costlier Bosch direct fit replacement O2 sensor, the universal Bosch ones that require you to splice the wires are in the same price ballpark (maybe a little cheaper) that the ones that are direct fit replacement from the Oxygengeek website. Several electrically informed posters on this board have explained that there is no difference in the performance of the universal type of O2 sensor (as long as it is the correct Bosch application number) as compared to the direct fit Bosch unit. I had always been under the impression that splicing the wires (or soldering them) would make a difference because of the change in the resistance values of the spliced wires, but that is apparently not the case. Regards, Maurice. Thanks Maurice

    Thanks everyone for your replies..I'll try out and changed the battery if not I guess I'm gonna have to go to the dealership and have them look at it.. :renntech: :thankyou:

    Ok, I finally got the new water pump in place, the radiator hose, the thermostat and the new belt drive. Since, I have the car still on the jack stands, I decided to replace my spark plugs but when I removed the old one, the part number and the brand is different from what I purchased. Also, I am not sure what my car's engine size is: whether it is a 2.5 or 2.7 liter. I looked for any information in and out of the car but couldn't find it. Any ideas where I can find this info??? I'll be starting to replace the oxygen sensor as well and I just want to know if you guys have used this type of oxygen sensor: OXYGEN SENSOR Thanks... JC

    :thumbup: :thankyou: 1) The surfaced needs to be slightly "etched" so you get good adhesion 2) Primer coat 3) 2-3 coats of quality paint 4) Clear coat 5) Let the paint really "cure" before you put the windstop back in, especially the plastic grill/vents. :thankyou: :thumbup:

    Thank you!!! Exactly what I am looking for... :cheers: :thankyou: Ok, I called them today and here is the price quote I was given: BOXSTER DECK LID IS FOR $1091.38 AND THE WING ITSELF IS $1,355.05...WOW!!! I WILL BE SPENDING 2,500.00 INCLUDING SHIPPING... :king:

    But I think they painted it in-place with lots of masking and plastic tarps. I know how to remove it..I just need to know what paint they used and how it was prepared prior to painting it..thanks
  12. jvcuenca
    I was thinking of doing the same thing but can't seem to find the forum...i already spent an hour looking for it online...all i got is a headache and squinky eyes :blink: :help:

    Any idea as to why my alarm does not respond to the key remote? But when it is inserted to the door key hole and you turn the key, it locks and activates the alarm. :help:

    WOW!!! that is scary....

    Loren, When I bought my keys from Sunset, I emailed them a scan of the title showing me as owner and the VIN, and they sent me keys already cut and ready to go. how much did it cost???

    Cool, is certainly a matter of personal taste. In my opinion, those spoilers are sort of ricey to put on a German car. Just make sure your prepared to drill a few holes through your trunk, and post some picks when your done. Ok, perhaps I exaggerated a little bit....I just can't seem to find spoilers for boxster similar to 996 Turbo and 996 GT2, and the 987.. :(

  20. jvcuenca
    yes..similar to that..can you take some more pictures so I can get a better idea what it would look like..thanks
  21. jvcuenca
    thanks..any particular website where I can check it out?

    Ok, ive been looking for a spoiler for my Boxster and I found these pictures online..Any ideas where I can get one of these??? I have a 1998 boxster. All I found so far for boxsters are crappy spoilers..Why can't they make a super cool spoiler that will stand out like the one on the pictures????...Thanks
  23. jvcuenca
    I had the same thing that happened to my 986. I took apart the vents and cleaned it out...and it was foam free..
  24. jvcuenca
    thank you very much..I appreciate all the tips and the time you took to answer all of my questions...still waiting for the parts i need..once i get it(hopefully tomorrow) I can start putting things back together..

    cool!!! I found some thread that you just leave the coolant cap off overnight and this should let the air bubbles out..is this true???the other thing I did too is, before I did it, I asked the dealership what kind of coolant I can use. He said that I could use any coolant as long as it is 50/50...so, I used prestone to top it off(this was before I located the leak)...now, i read on one of the thread that i shouldn't mix it and should stay with porsche coolant...and if mixed, it will form a jelly like coolant..can I just flush it with distilled water before I added the porsche coolant with 50%distilled water?? No, just leaving the cap off will not bleed air out. You need to open the bleed valve for a few days and check/top up the level at least daily until it stops going down. If you are doing a complete flush any good coolant for alloy/aluminum engines should be fine. Porsche's coolant is organic. one more thing, I just removed the water pump but the metal seal is stuck..i guess it's connected to something and needs to be cut.....any ideas on how i go about in doing this??tools?? thanks in advance...where is the bleed valve?? thanks tool pants
