    Who in Orange County installs the PCCM ? I have an ‘06 987 with the Becker CDR 23 (or24) am, fm, cd radio currently

    After a long drive the pump gave up. Plenty of water in tank. Is their a good DIY video ?
  3. jim_hoyland
    Question: do rotors have their thickness stamped onto the rotor ?
  4. jim_hoyland
    Thank you, good diagram. Just watch several videos on pad and rotor replacement. Are the caliper bolts 55mm torx ?
  5. jim_hoyland
    I have the correct replacement rotors and pad; my question is whether brake pad sensors are universal. From both the Pelican and AutohausAZ web sites several brands are available: Serb, Sadaca, Pagid Do all these pretty much fit ? WPOCA29886U713292
  6. jim_hoyland
    Im confused by the number of different sensors available and the price spread. For example: 2006 Porsche Boxster - Brakes - Brake Pads - Brake Pad Sensors WWW.PELICANPARTS.COM Brake Pads for 2006 Porsche Boxster : Brake Pad Sensors Are some better than others or is this a truly generic part ?

    Hmmmm; I just had some limited service done at 70,000 miles. They recommended replacement of the fuel pump/filter. When I asked what that is based on, they didn’t have an answer. Well $1,000 worth of parts and labor needs solid justification. My gut feeling is the pumps good for 100K miles. And this was from a well known local Porsche garage….
  8. jim_hoyland
    Great feedback. Interesting point about your own testing of new brake fluid. I’ll stop by Autozone and see what the say.
  9. jim_hoyland
    I my local shop said the best test are Test Strips. I dipped each into new and old fluid, waited for the strip to turn color and found the new fluid registered a slightly lower moisture content. The left end of the strip is for brake fluid; the right end for coolent. I did not test coolent yet

    I used a two prong tester similiar to the one pictured. I fist tested fluid from an unopened container then tested my 2-3 year old fluid from the Boxster. Results were nearly identical. See
  11. jim_hoyland
    Today I had the brake fluid flushed and new DOT4 added. I had the shop save me a 1/2 pint sample of both the old fluid and the new fluid. I am in the process of testing both samples; will post pics and data…
  12. jim_hoyland
    I have this same radio in my ‘06 987 is it possible to integrate an iPhone connection ?
  13. jim_hoyland
    OK; I just had some 70K service done on my 2006 987, no problem. But, in the recommendations box it says to replace the fuel pump and filter. I Dont understand how that could be recommended on an excellent running. 987 ! any thoughts ?
  14. jim_hoyland
    I would like to get the part # info too. So when mine break, I’ll have the replacements.
  15. jim_hoyland
    Is there a DOT preference for 3 or 4 ?
  16. jim_hoyland
    PSM alert went off after driving a couple of miles. My belts came back without the buttons that keep the latch from falling. Sent SafetyRestore a message; maybe they don’t include the buttons ?
  17. jim_hoyland
    Big thanks for the tutorial; the red seat belts are in. One Question: The PSM alert is on, I read somewhere that is will go away after driving. Is that so ? Or, does my Indy have to reset the computer ?
  18. jim_hoyland
    I got the retractors out after a lot of twisting, prying, and swearing; what a fit Question: can I grind off. 1/4” off the end of that pin ? Or am I missing something ?
  19. jim_hoyland

  21. jim_hoyland
    How long is the webbing for each belt. ?
  22. jim_hoyland
    Update: I tried to rig up a siphon to start the draining in order to detect when the warning comes on. Well, the washer reservoir will not allow a tube to be inserted. So, I'll resume using the washers and when the light comes on; I'll measure the amount needed to fill. Question: What is the capacity of the washer reservoir ? ; My car is an '06 987
  23. jim_hoyland
    The washers were not used for approx 1 month. Today, I filled the washer tank again to Full. It took about 28 oz. I am assuming the tank got filled at the start of my experiment. There is no signs of water on my gsrxge floor. I think I’ll siphon out the water into quart bottles and see when thy he alert comes on
  24. jim_hoyland
    Good point.
  25. jim_hoyland
    I will check this weekend. I didn’t use the washer and the light hasn’t returned. Will update
