    Not Cool! I hope you can get your remedy quickly. Being sans Porsche is never a good thing.
  2. Beelzy
    Maybe you got ahold of a defective/malfunctioning AOS??

    Hello Shihman, Sounds like the water pump or related tubing connecting the system. Time to crack the cowl and take a peek.

    My Tip tranny does not do that. It shifts nice and tight. Sound like its time for a diagnostic session. I would look for anything loose as in electrical coonectors etc. around the transmission. Seeing how it was serviced recently, maybe they inadvertantly unplugged a sensor.

    Well, I found out that the Key fob was the culprit. Two blinking bars when you "have to" key lock the car means key fob out. It only took the dealer 1.5 days to figure it out! :angry: The aggravating part is I wanted a second key made, and because they didn't have two available I have to go BACK to have them programmed to the car. Argh! <_<

    Wow! Looks like it would be "fun" to fix. I would drive it with a rabbit's foot keychain for extra measure. :D
  7. Beelzy
    I think the ones for the Boxster just "burn" out. I took mine apart and I could see tiny scorch marks on the board. :(

    That is odd, as I have remote issues as well( taking car in tomorrow), however I can still access my trunks fine. Sounds like a remote issue and an alarm problem. You will need to run the Porsche diagnostics to see what's amiss.

    OMG!! Do NOT read about the IMS failures, truly horrifying. :eek: The reason they call the desire for a Porsche an obsession, is that only a man obsessed would desire to own one. :lol: Good deal on the remedy though, you have what it takes to own a Porsche. DIY skills. :P

    The only thing the folks here may suggest is a bigger engine. :D I would just let them put it back together, that alone will keep them busy.
  11. Beelzy
    Sadly, alarm issues are one of those things that involve the dealer to program a new fob to the car's computer. I am in the same boat, and have a date with the dealer next Tues. I will post what transpires. Good luck. :)
  12. Beelzy
    Stick your arm in and then wave it around, it will go off. The motion sensors are located at the rear view mirror. One on each side. ;)
  13. Beelzy
    Check the Alarm Module under the driver seat, quickly! Make sure it hasn't gotten wet, apparently it happens frequently. Drain holes for top may be plugged, causing the flooding. Ignition switch sounds like a different issue, that happens as well. :rolleyes: Welcome to the DIY club. :wrench:
  14. Beelzy
    Try different pads??
  15. Beelzy
    Muffler shop. ;)

    Thanks for the responses gentlemen, I feel much better. Kirk, I love the remark about communist California. I have lived in California all my life, and I feel like that Indian chief who was crying in that old Anti-Pollution commercial when I think how things have digressed here. How's that for dating myself? :D PS. I concur with the Shell fuel, my Boxster seems to really like the V-Power 91.
  17. Beelzy
    My 04 Boxster runs great on the 91 octane fuel that is available, I can't seem to find the recommended 93 octane anywhere. My question is, am I hurting performance by not adding an octane additive upon filling up?? If I should be using it, what brand do the Renntech members like to use? Thanks for reading!
  18. Beelzy
    Sometimes the only way to do it is with two people, and start with both pins barely in and try pushing them in simultaneously.
  19. Beelzy
    Wow! Excellent job on that top. B)
  20. Beelzy
    Wow! That is nice. :clapping:
  21. Beelzy
    A small drop of clear nail polish on the leaky spots should do nicely. Can't wait for the pics. I'm working on that myself. :renntech:
  22. Beelzy
    DO NOT get any cleaner or water near any of the electical connectors on or near the engine. If they get wet, they could slugde up the connectors and give you wicked nightmares. I would just brush the engine a do a little spot cleaning with Windex. Besides, nobody sees that little workhorse anyway so pretty isn't required.
  23. Beelzy
    Oh my. My sincere condolences on your blown engine, (head gasket). The good news is you won't need a new engine. Just a good head job. :P
  24. Beelzy
    I tend to lean with the caliper bleed theory. That or warping rear calipers due to heat buildup. Improper bleeading is notorious for causing that sort of disc wear on GM vehicles even with single piston calipers. If seemingly a problem for UK cars, maybe the same guy is doing all the brake jobs there. :D
  25. Beelzy
    I agree with Happy1911, not a DIY job for the average Joe. I have a degree in Shade Tree Mecahnics, and the windshield is one area I leave to the experts. Not worth the few bucks saved to possibly have a leaky install, or worse. ;)
