new to forum, new porsche 986 owner
caballo77 replied to caballo77's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
wow, thank you very much for the comprehensive answers...I have purchased the 101 Projects (Pelican Parts' book) and have read it cover to cover ;) I also bought a digital manual which appears to be a Porsche service manual which appears less than DIY, although useful. I will buy a Bentley as well. Will perform the maintenance procedures you recommend... Where could i purchase an Owners Manual? Ebay has none for my year, and those that *are* on there are silly $ (120$??). I even tried reading the French MY2000 on the forum ;) but my French is poor. Updates: My coolant light is flashing slowly; which I believe relates to coolant level low...but coolant is at max in the boot tank..? ANyone know how to meter that sensor? The engine oil leak does *not* appear to be at the RMS or IMS area. Rather appears to be somewhere near the AOS or even dripping from the filler tube (from boot tank to engine)...will dig further. WHen removing the oil cap on the oil filler part of the boot tank, I get a fair amount of engine vaccuum. Idle roughens when cap is removed. I think this indicates AOS is intact and likely OK? Anyway, thanks again! R -
HI everyone- Great forum here...I am already finding it very useful! Well, I bought a 1997 Boxster, arena red 5 speed, with 89k miles. It has many little issues that I have found so far but I love driving it...and I have only had it two days! Well, unfortunately I have no service records with the car and there is not even an owners manual..so I am in the dark on the basic features and operating details. Does anyone happen to have an owners manual that you could email or pm me? I would be very grateful. Problems: Drip from engine (not sure of location) various lights and switches are not functional or seem intermittent my door panels are both black..but the majority of the rest of the interior is grey..is this correct? stereo not functional center lcd screen on gauge cluster has no backlight left lcd has "worm tracks" surely more to come...;) Thanks for the great forum!
