  1. Thanks, Loren. Does this tube exit above the plastic underpanel? Is it possible that water is not dripping over the panel? I haven't driven more than 30 minutes in a very long time. Kurt
  2. I have yet to see my evaporator core drain to underneath the car. I have noticed all my other cars doing this recently and it certainly is humid enough here in tucson these last few weeks. At the same time, I've not noticed any wetness inside, or any funny smells. I'm also not able to find where the A/C drain tube is located. Any thoughts on this?' 2004 Boxster S Kurt
  3. In my case, Motul 8100 X-Cess, 5W-40. Its Porsche approved, and has performed very well in my '04 986S. There are other good choices out there, and in all honesty most are equal until proven otherwise in scientific testing, which I doubt any user on this forum is prepared to do. Stick with an approved oil and you will be okay. Redline may be fine, and they do make a quality product, but is not specifically approved by Porsche. regards, kwinaz
  4. I think the factory OEM was Hengst. I know that they can be had via OEM channels as opposed to dealer sources for less. I personally use a K&N version, which is a very high quality unit in terms of construction. I've done no scientific testing as to filter efficiency, but it passes the "no blown engines" test after 15K miles, for what that's worth. As to the hood opening gap, I've had the same experience. I've examined the latching mechanism and hood alignment and have come to the conclusion that on some days (possibly due to temperature and hood expansion/contraction) the latch "loop" that extends down into the "catch" mechanism, binds ever so slightly which results in a limited amount of "pop up" clearance. I've decided that this is a feature, and with the trouble associated with trying to re-align it, that it isn't worth fixing, and could possibly end up worse than it is, which really isn't that bad. cheers,
  5. The clutch pedal switch and ignition switch work fine as the car turns over just fine. If they weren't working, i'd expect to get just nothing. The fuel pump, fuel injection, or no spark from the ignition system seem likely - but not sure how to check these without a computer reader. Is there a way to do this?? Ross After some cranking (not too much, 10 seconds max then wait until trying again) go put your nose at the exhaust outlet. You should smell raw fuel. If you don't there is likely a fuel pump/delivery issue. Fuel smell present points as you mention to ignition or computer woes. good luck
  6. Nice Pictures, quite definitely. Well composed, awesome lighting, etc., etc. etc. One thought however... Lose the Dodge, or whatever the Red car is. Doesn't fit. Just an opinion.
