I have a 1998 Tiptronic that won`t go into gear unless its coaxed and wiggled in. The shifter knob comes off rather easlly. Is something missing that hold the knob on , or could it be something more serious? Thx in advance!

Yes thats when it the code popped. I reset the code and after a short 10 min drive it has not returned. I hope thats all it was and thank you for you reply.

:thankyou:

Quick question: Did this code trip just after filling the tank? Reason I ask is that the early cars seem more prone to throw this code after a fill up, and when that happens the code is usually a "ghost" code caused by a momentary purge line blockage during the filling process. If it was, clear the code and it most likely will not come back, at least until your next fill up. If the code comes back, see below.

Normally, if the P0446 code is thrown, it is caused by a blockage if the air purge line in the EVAP system. This code can often be corrected by simply blowing air through the purge line, which is in the engine bay, under the intake manifold. A bit of a pain in the butt to get at, but a quick "pffft" of compressed air will take care of the issue.

Morning all, Just found engine fault code P0446 on my 1998 986 with tip. Description reads Evap canister shutoff value below lower limits. I would welcome any ideas on a solution.

Thanks in advance!

Thats a good idea, thanks for the advice.

I have a 98 Boxster with a tiptronic . I recently replaced the regulator in the driver side door. Now every time I lock the doors it automatically unlocks. This happens with the remote or when using the key. Thank you for your help in advance.

I`m pretty sure its active .I`m getting the 2 beeps when activating the alarm from the remote. Loren I cant locate repair or replace instructions in my Bentley manual. Do you know another reference I could use for this info? Thanks

I`m looking for the part number for a Passenger compartment monitoring sensor for a 98 Boxster. Thx in Advance!

I recently check the codes on my 98 986. An alarm fault code of 34 came up. interior sensor faulty anyone know which sensor that is or were a listing on fault codes might be listed so I could research it myself? Thx in advance!

Very nice.

My 98 Boxster recently had the dreaded water under the seat issue. Needless to say the alarm module was fried and was replaced. Now my remote rear trunk release does not work. Should this have been programed by the dealer ? Or should it work automatically? If I have to take it back to the dealer is there anything else I should have programed into the alarm module while I am there? Thx in advance

I am using 0-w40 Mobil. 1 Car has about 55k. Don`t recall hearing it in the winter.

Thx for your reply

Thx for the reply. Does that mean I have nothing to worry about and is there a fix?

Hello all hope someone can help me out. I have a 98 Boxster with tiptronic, on start-up I hear a brief rattle coming from what seems to be the lower engine. It only last for a few seconds. Seems to be an oil issue, should I be worried? Or is this a normal sound? Thx in advance!

Wow the tires I have are fairly new (5k). But I did get them balanced helped a bit. My motormount was cracked replaced that today. It didn`t help much either. Looks like I might have to live with it for a while. Btw thanks for all the tips, this forum is great!

Hello All,

I have a 1998 Boxster that at 75mph the steering wheel has a slight shake to it. Could this be because of tires being unbalanced or a cracked motor mount?

thx in advance!
