Ignition switch
Azzie replied to dbookman's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
A $15 part sounds like a steal of a deal but can anyone tell me the difference between all these parts? What is the $15 ignition switch, the $150 ignition assembly, which ones do I need to replace my keys (what is a key cylinder?), how do I change these without changing my keys? I've read the DYI on here "DIY Upgraded Ignition Switch/Lock Installation for 996/Boxster" but it doesn't seem to cover if you need new keys? I'm no master mechanic but can follow directions pretty well, maybe I'm missing something (what are the exact part numbers I need for the job). Any help would be great, otherwise I'm going to have to go to the dealer and drop $900. Thanks again gentlemen. -

I'm having this exact same issue and am looking for a solution better than taking it to the cleaners (aka my dealer who quoted me $900). I am also interested, if anyone knows, in changing it to a push button start or some sort of upgrade. If I'm going to spend that much might as well upgrade it. F.Y.I. when you lock your door and get the single horn beep; a. you have about 2 days before the battery will die and b. the passenger door does not lock even though the drivers side does (you can ask my girlfriend about both of these!). Thanks Gents! -
Gentlemen, My 02 C2 makes a distinct rattling noise in the front suspension area but only under low speeds. During any sort of spirited driving the noise is gone (and I don't believe just masked by other noise) I've been hearing the noise for a while and it is staying about the same, I have looked and can not see anything broken. The suspension is completely stock and I am having no issues with braking. James Huber 02 911 C2
