    As Loren points out, that may be the only way to get records. If you look in the Owner's Manual binder, there is a service record tracking manual that the dealer/facility uses to sign off and document what services are performed etc. So you should check there and you may find most of what you need. I have been able to have the dealer print off the previous records for me before, however they can only print the work they (that dealer) has done. Good luck, DC

    I would measure the distance from the bottom of the deck lid up to the bottom of the current emblem.....Then just center it from left to right....Piece of cake :) Good luck, DC

    No idea...Seems like you would hear a boost hose come loose?...Would love to hear what you find out though.. Good luck! DC

    Loren has provided you with the info. I have attached a parts diagram and parts list page for you. It is #13 in the picture and list. Hope it helps. Good luck. DC hl.pdf

    The original letters come off pretty easily with a hair dryer, or heat gun on low...Just be careful not to overheat. Afterward you can clean off with alcohol to prepare for new emblem. Just a tip that may help removing. Good luck DC

    The link below has a lot of good products and education on how to care for your factory cloth top. Good luck. DC Click Here

    Looks like the rubber plug for the drain tube. Number 19 in the part list/diagram DC tmp.pdf

    Agree with above....Sounds like you may have damage to your front shock itself. Probably going to need to change it (or both front ones). Good luck. DC

    Not sure if this is it, but appears to be. I attached a PET Diagram for you. Looks like tandem pump and goes to a heat exchanger...But I could be wrong. Hope the diagram helps. Good luck, DC tmp.pdf

    Follow Up....Must have been water somewhere. After a couple of days of no rain and a few starts, the engine light went away. Given the Rich idle indicator, if it comes back, I may assume it is the MAF....For now though, all is clear and no issues :thumbup: DC

    Hi All.... Washed my 997 Turbo today and have had no error codes....After washing it, I drove to the store......No error codes. Got back in and started it and got check engine bring to workshop message. Drove home....Put the diagnostic tool on it and got: P 8584 System Too Rich Bank 1 & P 8448 Throttle actuator motor open circuit. Any thoughts? Could water have caused this from washing? The engine seems to run the same (fine)...No noises or rough idle. I could not clear the error either. Any help appreciated... Thanks! DC

    Thanks for the feedback......I feel better now. I guess I should have taken the Porsche Mechanic's word anyway :) I do have a BMC Filter and Headers, so guess that combo makes that interesting sound. Sounds a little funny at low speeds, but sounds like a jet when it spools up at high rpms.... Take care, DC

    You can check here and search for those part numbers. Link Not that it is cheap, but the part # 997.603.012.07 is $1085.80 with $0 core. And they have this listed for your car also: Alternator, 911 turbo, manual trans 01-05 $779.94 Good luck. DC

    First off...I am going to say this is aftermarket and NOT a Porsche item. It appears to be a 911 GT2 style wing that was modified to the deck lid of a Boxster. If you are looking for items like this, you may want to start with eBay, and at the very least will be able to identify the makers and contact them directly. Mishaw also makes a variety of add ons. Prices for these type are up to about $1500-2000 range + install and painting in some cases... Good luck. DC

    My questions: 1. Is anyone in the same boat, Yep...All windshields get pitted from debris ...sand....rocks...etc.(especially at highway speeds) 2. How can I restore the windshield to its sparkling new state. Only way is a new windshield. Porsche glass is especially soft compound, but nothing you can do to clear the pits etc.. They make glass polish, which is a mild abrasive but you may get a blurry effect from sanding on your glass....may have waves or ripples if you are not careful. DC

    Hi There.... Not sure exactly what the issue is with your Tiptronic, but there are about 5-6 pages of parts (gears, seals, gaskets, lines, etc.) in the PET Catalog for your car Tiptronic transmission. I might suggest trying a different shop? Good luck, DC

    I used this image in Photoshop to map wiring in my wife's 996 Cabrio that had a CDR220 a few years ago. Should be similar. I was mapping aftermarket Blaupunkt which actually ended up plugging right in with no splicing. Good luck. DC

    The codes are a list of items that Porsche has found to be defective , unsafe, or otherwise feel would be better to repair/replace. Most (if not all) campaigns are covered by Porsche. The dealer that gave you this list can provide you with exactly what each of the campaigns entails. Good luck. DC

    The initial post referred to this occurring when it is cold....Did the dealer explain how it was out of alignment when cold, but not when warm? Without loose front end parts or defective tires, there is nothing to shake?? Just a thought/? Well at least your problem seems to have been solved...Did they also balance your tires? DC

    +1 Mine works as you described with the BMW. Make sure stalk is in the right position. If so, sounds like you may have an issue. DC
  21. therock88
    Not sure you can tell, but here is the spec sheet on that car. Good luck. DC tmp.pdf

    You cannot get much from old vins...This is about it: For your Ex: VIN: 119111217 11 = 911 9 = 1969 1 = Coupe L or Luxury Model 11217 = Sequence or serial number usually 4 digits..... Not much else. This info came from another article here...Do a search for VIN and you can find what little is available. DC

    "Hi + thanks My car is a 997tt 1st gen with sport chrono. 1. Where is the "Chrono" button? ? I dont have such button, only "Sport" 2. I think the images you posted are from Gen 2 Owners manual because it refers to PDK etc." Yes....It is Sport Chrono....But the button just says" Sport". Yes...The manual is from Gen 2, but the info about the sport overbost, arrow etc. is the same. DC

    HI... I think you are fine not replacing. Those Cayenne headlight units are a bit crazy. I have had all sorts of fun with mine. And the weird black substance you are referring to. Other than looks, unless you really mangled it, you should be OK. I also do not think it is easy (or at least not that I can tell) to service that separately?? I would not worry if I were you... I think you are talking about #11 in the diagram I attached. The cost is about $52.00 each side if you decide to replace. Good Luck! DC
