Thanks guys, since its hard to exactly locate the source i might let Porsche take a look at it. And is it Ok to use the car? The other issue i mention and i have to correct one thing there. From what i have read its common on the passanger side but i have it on the drivers side. I can record the sound later today :) -
Thanks JFP! My concern is to find the faulty bushing. Even if i by hand can feel vibration in arm 2 it can be from the bushing in the lower arm thats connected to arm nr 2.

Popping/cracking sound, left rear

Thanks for the answer crwarren! :) ☆edit☆ Take a look in the other thread about my concerns locating the faulty bushing.http://www.renntech.org/forums/topic/49789-a-couple-of-issues-squeaky-suspension-and-a-ticking-sound-in-the-footwell/ -
Popping/cracking sound, left rear
smygolf replied to crwarren11's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
I just started a new post and i thing i have the same problem! Does it have to be a new arm or can i just change the bushing (correct name?) and is it hard to change the arms?? Thanks /Johan -
My 00 S @ 130487mi starts to have some issuses, nothing big i hope! The ticking sound comes from the driver side footwell, and from what i have been able to find it could be a solanoid to the climate control? If i change the temp or the vents it stays the same, intermittent clicking. I have also read somehwere that it could be a vacumline to ventilation damper? The next issue, Its from the rear passanger side. It started with a faint squeaky sound going over bumps or pressing the rear down by hand. But now i can hear that something is wrong when driving in lower (1-2 gear) speeds and it doesent have to be a bumby road for me to hear it. Its like a faint rumble and the aqueaky sound have gotten worse. If i go under the car and have someone pressing the rear down i can fell that the squeaky sounds makes vibration in part nr 8 in the pic below. All the nuts feel tight and from what i can tell nothing is loose. The rumbeling sound disapears if i give small amount of gas or if i go upphill in lower speeds, if i let go from the gas it starts. I hope someone can help me with this, and im from Sweden so my spelling aint the best, Sry!

Nevermind, its the tension cables, i didnt look hard enough on the drawing :blush:
-
Well i still cant locate exactly where the rattle is coming from. Since its only happends when the top is dry my first thougt was rhe tension cables. But its also happends when i have the hardtop mounted. Could be in door to but i havent opend up the door yet. Anyway i saw this drawwing. http://www.porsche.com/all/media/pdf/originalparts/usa/986_USA_KATALOG.pdf Main group 8 -> chapter 812 Part nr 17 is a tension cable, where the heck is that located? Is it the tension cables for the top or some other cables? The drawing is for a 2004 car mine is a 2000. regards /Johan

-
Theres a German law that sais that the turnsignals should work that way. I dont remember what year the law came (2000-2004) and i dont know if German cars in the US has the sam feature.

A bit late mayby, but if your gonna do Pse 2.0 go from chamber nr 2 instead from chamber nr1. The original Pse goes from nr 2 :) Muffler cut open http://www.evan.com/boxster/stock_cut_open_diagram1.jpg ;) Porsche Pse http://www.renntech.org/forums/uploads/monthly_03_2007/post-15817-1175174403.jpg My project stopped for various reasons, mayby this year :)

I guess you mean the whole undercarriage? I was more thinking of the qushion, not the carridge it self.
-
Is it possible to switch left/right seat qushion? Its nearly impossible to find a left seat in good condition but rights there alot of :)

Thinking of building my own PSE (parts)
smygolf replied to smygolf's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks! Anybody who knows how many PSI the actuators needs? Or can i adjust that thru the vacuum coupling? -
yep, thats the plan atleast :blush: Im just in love how the original PSE sounds and first the muffler bypass was on my mind. But why not go all the way, including remote operation? In my mind the electric vents are useless but they are realy easy to find. And the effort to build a DIY PSE should be on the lighter side. The vacuum ones on the other hand, they are not what i would call cheap and hard to find :huh: I have tracked down one supplier for the electronic for the vacuum actuator, http://www.carnewal.com/products/P57/p091/Installation-Set-for-Switchable-Exhaust-via-Remote Now to my question, does anybody know if the actuator is open or closed under free condition? actuators http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Steel-Exhaust-Control-Valve-Set-Vacuum-Actuator-2-1-2-63mm-Pipe-/380722445361 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Exhaust-Control-Valve-with-Vacuum-Actuator-for-2-1-2-63mm-Pipe-/380606319348

This is Realy stranger or i have missed something. Does Boxster S from 2000 only have 2 cats?

When i checked the door panel for leaks i never checked the front of the door. Underneath the speaker the carpet is wet. The isolation is moist but the floor doesent hold any water. And here´s a pic from the bad alignment with the HT So it looks i have one more leak :/ Looks like all the leaks are related to the door/window.
-
Hi Maurice, The door carpet itself is dry, but where the carpet meets the door seems a bit moist but thats nothing to compared to other places. I have tried to find the way water comes in and it seems to be some where around this area. The area behind the roll cage is also wet. If i pry paper inderneath the drip pan its dry but 2 inches below and under the isolation its wet. And i can spray the car with a garden hose or wash with a high-pressure sprayer without any leak. With the soft top up the windows align the same on both sides, but (!) now with HT it seems that on the passenger side the HT should be a bit forward. The seal on the car doesent meet the HT (i will post more pics later today) but with the soft top it looks ok. Last year the HT had a perfect fit :/ Is it hard to remove panel on the door? *edit* Regarding the rattle, Its only the last month or so that i have heard it and i was suprised to hear that when the car is wet its gone. I adjusted the tension Cables a bit but it didnt help. Thanks!!

First the facts, I have a problem with water coming in on the passenger side But only while driving in the rain!! And its the same with the hardtop mounted, i got water on the passanger floor. But theres more, I also have a rattlling noise, like a loose washer coming from the passengers side. Its realy hard to locate where its from but somewhere around the top assembly. And its the same with the hardtop. And now to the twist, when i drive in the rain, the rattle is gone?! (softtop/hardtop) My drains are clean and i can poor buckets off water in the pans and theres nothing on the floor. The soft top doesent align with the window frame 100% when the top is fully up (before locking it) there´s a bigger gap on the passenger side then on the driver side. ½ inch or so. The rattling sound only occurs around 3000 rpm. I will post pics tomorrow and some moore info... *edit* Bad spelling..
