    I'm curious to know what you decided to do? If you buy new, keep in-mind one axle is shorter than the other. Ask me how I learned that lesson... LOL.
  2. Jager
    Or buy a space saver spare like I did. If you get the kit it comes with holder and case to keep the tire in-place (using the seat belt) in one of the back seats.

    It should be in the frunk. There is a cubby on the driver's side, at the bottom of the frunk, that has a carpet covered door hiding it.

    A bad water pump can be very noisy. Remove the belt and turn the water pump by hand, it should be smooth and quiet. If not, it needs to be replaced. You can also run the motor while it is cold, for a short period of time, without the belt installed and listen for the noise (as suggested by Loren above).

    Thank you for the follow-up, resolution, post.

    Air Oil Separator (AOS) would be my first guess.

    Hi Loren, I got another Boxster, a 2001 S. Can you provide me the radio code? Becker CDR 220, Type 4462, Serial Number 15087566. Thanks
  8. Jager
    You need to test drive the 4S, they handle quite different than the 2S. When you put the 4S in Sport mode it is a completely different machine. The way it handles the corners will put a smile on your face.

    I have the seat belt pillar rattle (driver's side) in my 2006 C4S and can't find any information other than this post. Does anyone have additional information on this issue? An assembly drawing might be helpful. Thanks
  10. Jager
    Have you changed the O-Rings on your Oil Cooler? Oil on top of the engine is an indication you might have a problem there.
  11. Jager
    Have you tried to locate it by opening the lid, stand behind the car, and have someone else press on the gas pedal (rev the motor)?

    I just replaced the passenger side rock guard. There were no alignment instructions but I started from the wheel side (aligned with the fender seam) and layed it forward and downward. You will neeed a spray bottle with 1 part alcohol to 3 parts water. Clean the surface with the alcohol mixture then spray the surface, your fingers, then the sticky side of the new guard with the alcohol mixture. Use a small plastic squeegee to push the moisture and air out from under the rock guard as you apply it to the fender.

    JFP, I got under the vehicle again and discovered the error of my way. Yes you are correct, there is another side hole and I had to remove another cover to properly access it. Thank you sir, you put on the correct path again. What are the hazards of driving a transaxle that is over-filled?
  14. Jager
    I will have to get under there again to look for the second fill hole. But my transaxle looks different from your picture, mine looks like this one: http://californiamotorsports.net/pages/porsche-997-turbo-transaxle-specifications

    I just purchased a 2006 C4S, it has a manual 6-speed transmission. When cold sixth gear would grind a little but shifted fine after the motor warmed-up. I decided to do a transaxle oil change, to see if that would help reduce the 6th gear cold grind, and had purchased three quarts of fluid from Sun Coast Porsche based on the owners manual and what I read on this and other forums. I also had 1 1/2 quarts of the stuff on the shelf in my garage from previous tranxale changes on my Boxster. When I drained the transaxle fluid on the C4S it looked like there was more than 3 quarts of fluid in the drain pan. I thought hmmm... Glad I have more on the shelf. I emptied three quart containers into the transaxle and it wanted more. So I pumped the half quart container I had on the shelf into the transaxle... It wanted more. I pumped the full, fourth quart, (over 4 quarts by now) of fluid into the transaxle and it still was not full. I put my pinky finger into the fill hole and could not feel any transaxle fluid. What the heck kind of transmission/transaxle do I have??. Yes the car was level when I added the fluid, I use lift bars and all four jack stands were the same elevation setting. The linkage on this transmission has quite a bit of counter ballance weights on them, looks like I am slinging 5 lbs of weights under there. I realize this is a 997.2 thread but was one of the only threads that was on the topic of transaxle fluid capacities.

    The value is simple: I am unaware of anyone running without the seal having an IMS failure. How many IMS bearings, with the seal in-place, failures are you aware of (997's with large bearing)? Only a couple, but both were definitely an IMS failure. As you may or may not know, I now own a 997 4S along with the 986 Jӓgermobile (now over 280,000 miles on original motor). I will definitely pull the IMS seal on my first clutch job on the 997. Thanks for the data.

    san rensho, remember this thread? http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/49666-p0410-secondary-air-injection-system-cylinders-1-%96-3-a.html Check the air ports on the heads... You will have to drop the three-way catalytic converters to inspect the ports.
  19. Jager
    I make sure the bolts are clean and use Loctite (blue)
  20. Jager
    Just some info if you are looking at used parts… The passenger side axle is a different length than the driver’s side axle. Make sure you purchase the driver’s side axle.
  21. Jager
    Yes any one of these could be the issue, or one of the parts that was installed has failed. Are you sure the slave cylinder was replaced? It's a pita to get to and fit properly.
  22. Jager
    What was the O2 sensor error code that you cleared? Also, what does the voltage on the O2 sensors look like at idle? I think you have a couple problems based on your description.
  23. Jager
    It would look like this if he had the bigger GT500: I have driven both the Turbos and the Mustangs, there is no comparison. You should let your friend drive the Turbo, that will change his mind.
  24. Jager
    Another time I had the same alarms I found a broken vacuum line between the reservoir and the electric vacuum switching valve.
  25. Jager
    For your P0410 and P1411 error codes you might consider dropping your Headers/Catalytic Converters and inspecting the air injection ports. See my experience in the following thread on 986forum: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/49666-p0410-secondary-air-injection-system-cylinders-1-%96-3-a.html It would help if you had a Durametric system to help troubleshoot the problem.
