    Check you coolant and oil levels level. Make sure your front air intakes are clean of leaves, dirt, and stuff.

    I'm not a DIY kind of guy. I'm good a concours prep and would rather be driving, so I am willing to pay for all the other stuff. I bet your car will be running great when they get done with the AOS and cleaning. Good luck.
  3. White987S
    How much do they charge per hour? Seems fair. Figure time plus cleaning materials (brake cleaner?).

    Happy Father's Day, Loren! CDR220 type 4462 Ser. # 25014043 Thanks!!

    Here's a quick test for you to determine if it is the AOS: Remove the oil fill cap. You should feel just the slightest amount of suction, and you will hear the idle change as you put your hand on and off the intake tube. If you feel a lot of suction or have trouble getting the cap off, then its likely the AOS.
  6. White987S
    I'd guess AOS too. Have the shop check your waterpump, too for the whine.

    I think it should be noted here that a flashing CEL is a very severe warning. And should be treated different than just an illuminated CEL. A flashing CEL means get to the side of the road safely ASAP and turn off engine ASAP, and call the flatbed. You do not drive on a flashing CEL.

    Or buy a 987.2 in 2009 or newer. No IMS. DFI engine. Power and fuel economy.
  9. White987S
    My guess is that #2 is your battery vent tube drain. Make sure the end is not clogged from the melting, and the clip reattaches to the wheel well area by sliding the edge in against the metal frame rail.

    I'd recommend you stretch your budget a little or hold off untill you can buy a 2006 Boxster/Boxster S. This gave Porsche an extra year to work out some of the bugs with the major redesign from the 986 to the 987 series. The 2006 usually has the larger bearing.
  11. White987S
    Hard to eat that price. Very! Yuck! LOL!!

    I've used thees guys for a vent mount to hold an old Garmin GPS: http://www.mountguys.com/?Click=2

    Depending how strong your right calf muscle is, that's not aweful city MPG's. What's your highway MGP's? Post this question on Rennlist too. Ton's of 993 activity overthere. The P1411 code is most likely related to your SAI system. You need to research this more. Common concern on the 96-98 993's.
  14. White987S
    Excellent. You are the kind of owner I'd want to purchase a used Porsche from.
  15. White987S
    I use the one from L&N Engineering. Can't hurt, so I do it.
  16. White987S
    Run a high quality 5W40 (Motul 8100 Excess would be a great choice) or Mobil 5W50 full synthetic oil. Change it every 5,000 miles or at least yearly. Keep your water pump properly maintained, and change it out before it fails with another OE Porsche pump. Use Porsche coolant, and flush the system. Make sure your drive belt (serpt. belt) is maintained to the proper interval. Change your thermostst when you do the pump and coolant, since it's only a $40 part, while-you're-in-there. Make sure your front air intakes and radiators are clean & clear. This may require the bumper to be pulled (no BIG deal) to get proper access and cleaning. Be extra diligent with your oil levels and coolant levels.

    $240 for the dealership is not really that bad a price. I'd go there. Your time (80 minutes) is well worth the $115 delta. Do NOT go to the $69 place.
  18. White987S
    Jeff, does oil selection and oil change interval contribute to this wear pattern?
  19. White987S
    After you get it cleaned out, keep it clean with your leaf blower when you do your car washing.
  20. White987S
    The OP's car is a 2008.......so I'd easily expect it to have north of 10,000 miles already (approx. 1,700/year average).
  21. White987S
    Really, why not? Since 2007 they have invented FedEx and places like UPS. Both can ship internationally.:)
  22. White987S
    Also Mobil 5W50 is Porsche approved and the factory fill in the GT2's.
  23. White987S
    Use Mobil 5W50. Buy on Amazon. Great oil.
  24. White987S
    Very sorry. Hope you're covered in some part by Porsche.
  25. White987S
    Match your rear tires to your fronts. Don't mix.
