    3.2 S Model Year 2001 70,000 km Thanks

    Codes P0102, P1128 and P1130 keep coming up. Is the Mass Air Flow sensor at fault? Any other possible causes? Thanks

    It is strange Loren but the copy of PET on my computer lists the post 02 matte black as 996.613.155.10.A05. Anyway the Dealer will sort this out. Important is that it must end in A05 not A02 for matte.

    According to PET catalogue it should be 996.613.155.10 A05 (matte). 996.613.155.00 A02 (glossy). Mind you the actual part was only used on the Turbo, so you will need some rewiring if your car is a Carrera.

    Today as I was driving, suddenlyI could not select any of the gears in the front plane (reverse, 1,3,5). My car is an S with the Porsche short shift which I've had for almost 3 years now. I had some difficulty selecting reverse a few times over recent weeks which I ignored. I limbed home using 2nd and 4rth and tried to adjust the short shift linkage by tightening the front screw. This improved the selection of 1,3 and 5 but there no way I can select reverse. Any ideas as to cause of the problem? Parts that usually go wrong? Any further adjusment possibilities on the cable linkage to cure the problem. I believe the actual lever short shift is not damaged in anyway. Your assistance will be appreciated.

    Mine is very accurate. Anyway many recent models from Porsche, Mercedes etc don't have dipstick anymore.

    Clean the water drains. Accumulation of leaves and dirt blocking the drains is a possible cause.

    The part # is 996.652.103.00.A01, "socket for M580". It should be available from the factory, I got it about a year ago. The cost was the equivalent of $5 or $6.

    There are PS2 tyres with and without N-rating. Not all Porsche sizes (pre 9X7) are available in PS2 with "N". In such cases, if you insist on Michelin, you either opt for PS2 without N, or Pilot Sport "Rib" with N. PS2 are considered more advanced than "Rib" and for this, some say worth sacrificing the N mark.

    Actually, I just thought of something.... when we were away on vacation I was locking the glove box, which I don't normally do, and the horn was bleeping on lock down. When I got home I noticed that the horn was back to not bleeping, but the glove box was probably unlocked at this point. Would that be it? The horn doesn't bleep if the glovebox is left unlocked - even in a locked car ? The horn bleeps when the glove box is not closed well. Maybe a problem with the electrical contact. It has nothing to do with it being locked or unlocked.

    In Europe the selling price is 40 Euros, about $50, so it shouldn't be expensive at your nearest Porsche dealer.

    thanks so much for you help, been looking on ebay for that name but is not the piece i need thanks Phillip The above is the correct part number that corresponds to the picture you posted. It is also the latest, no upgrades beyond that. There is another part with the same name in the roof mechanism so go by the number not the name.

    I was inspecting the underside of my 01 S and noticed a very small quantity of oil dripping on the plastic undertray, about 2 inches from its rear edge. It doesn't end up on the garage floor because it is retaind by the undertray. There is an hexagonal bolt at the bottom of the engine, in a diagonal position (I don't know what it does), and the oil is either dripping from that spot or from somewhere above and reaches the bolt which is at the lowest point of the engine. Any ideas as to the possible sources of the oil leak will be well appreciated. Thanks!

    By coincidence, in the meantime we received a support e-mail from Durametric saying among other things: "We recently became aware that Actual Values on some versions of Motronic 7.2 are not working correctly. We are working on fixing this problem and will hopefully have it resolved within a few weeks at most. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused." So this seems to be our problem. But even on your read-out Loren the exhaust temp. is incorrect (-54 F)

    I tried to use the Diagnostic Tool today on my 01 S (DME 7.2). It read the fault codes and cleared them, the vehicle identification was correct but the Actual Values displayed were either blanks or illogical (e.g.temperature readings of -minus). Do you have any opinions/experience on the matter? Is the tool supposed to perform all functions with all models/years, or is the Durametric Tool limited to fault code reading/deleting at present on certain cars? Thanks

    Different part numbers for -99, -02 and 03-. So they must be different.
  18. renos
    Try lowering the front edge of the front hood so that it is slightly below the bumper. This has fixed it for me. Before i read about this cure on a different Board, I thought the whistle came from all sorts of places and it was impossible to isolate its source.

    Rear tire wear on my Boxster S with sports suspension has always been at around 8,000 miles no matter what make of tires I use. I went through Pirelli Asimetrico,Pirelli Rosso, Continental Sport Contact 2 and Michelin Pilot Sport without any change in wear. No wear on Front tires, always as new. The M030 is partly to blame. The C4S is also fitted with the sports suspension. Also I never use the car in town, so all the mileage is motorway or fast secondary road driving.

    Hi I wish to retrofit self-dimming mirrors on my 01 986 S. Mainly the interior one but maybe the outside mirror too. However I want to know how difficult/extensive these tasks are beforehand, prior to purchasing the parts. Can someone please, enlighten me by giving me the fitting instructions (either Porsche or your own)? Thanks and best regards.

    I shall install a set of sport headers from Techart Germany on my 986 S, MY01. However, I have heard stories of broken bolts whilst removing the factory items. What special care is required,if any, to avoid such incidents? Are these incidents frequent or a remote possibility? Anyway I shall use hand tools only and ease the bolts with WD40; definitely no power tools. Your help will be appreciated.

    I think this moisture is normal for all Boxsters I have seen, including my 2001 S. No system can be 100% air tight, but the new type cap reduces this moisture. It is just that due to the position of the reservoir it is noticeable. In the engine bay of a front engined car you would't even notice such moisture. If the reservoir leaked the area underneath the carpet and eventuallythe carpet itself would get wet, and you would notice loss of coolant.

    With the Panamera coming out in 2009 Porsche will have their hands full until then. So don't expect a brand new 911 before next decade. What is certain is a facelift by 2008 and larger engine size , to 4.0lt perhaps and some 400HP
