sorry for not doing this sooner but the fuse was good and the cleaner made the light a little brighter. I guess it is some where in the line.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Re: Gas fill cover - 1 year ago
I think that is what happens on purpose. It is a "saftey measure". If you had the car outside but don't lock it will lock itself after a while. Just hitting the lock unlock will unlock everything.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

headlight dim - 1 year ago
I don't know if I have ever heard about this, but my passenger side headlight is dim. I got a new bulb and replaced it but it was dim as well, so I thought I got a bad blub, so I returned to and got a new one, but that one is dim as well. I am now thinking something else is the issue. Has anyone (Pedro) heard of this before and hopefully it is a simple fix. TIA BTW it is a 2001 S.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

0 straining to start - 2 years ago
I have an 01 S and I wondering if it is a battery issue or alternator or.... issue. Basically, if I run errands in the Boxster when I get in the car and start it, it strains to start. It does start on the 1st try but... It does not happen when I start it for the first time of the day or when it has sat for a few hours. I have also charged the battery overnight and it took a full charge, but iby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Re: Since 1997, Porsche has used & recommended . . . - 2 years ago
I have not figured it out yet, but think I might have. It was goldish in color and I think it is the coolant. I noticed the coolant was low and I filled it up, and I just checked again and it is low. So I am guessing it is the coolant. It is not coming out a lot and it seemed to leak only when I used the AC. Sorry I got preoccupied with something. I will let you all know when I know.

coolant/oil question - 2 years ago
I have an '01 S and it has developed a leak. It is coming from the drivers side front and I thought it might be coolant but when I felt it, it felt oily. Is oil pumped to the front of the car? I would not think so but... I am mistaken about the oily feel? I am hoping it is from the radaitor and just a loose hose or something... It is not a large leak, maybe a teaspoon, and it seems to only lby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

Re: Question on oil filters. 2000 Boxster S.... - 2 years ago
I had the same thing happen to me. There was no skirt and it would not push in. I looked at the 2 and the new one was much smaller. I returned it and went to Napa, but checked it when I got it to make sure it would fit, and it was the correct size.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
front license plate screws - 2 years ago
I have to get a new front license plate and was looking at the needed parts. There are 2 types of screws needed and they are a Head Tapping Screw 4.2 x 32, and a screw 4.2 x 9.5. I am assuming this is metric but can I use a 4 mm x 32 mm and a 4 mm by 9 mm?by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

coolant leak weird spot - 3 years ago
I have an '01 S and the other day I drove to work and when i got out of the car I noticed steam coming out from the front of the door jam. I looked under the car and saw it dripping quite a bit of coolant. It did have a smell to it. and when I checked the coolant level it was below the min level. I did notice the AC was not as cold as it usually gets. On the way home I did not use the AC andby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum

window drop question - 3 years ago
So I tried the fix for the window drop, but after I pulled off the door panel the wire covering had no play in it. So based on this I need new microswitch? The window does drop if I hold the handle up and release it right before it closes, but this is a pain in the axx. TIAby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Re: make it so #1 :-) - 3 years ago
You could think of it as good and better settings. I have PSS9's and I was taking notes on the setting at each corner, type of track, temp, time of day... then I realized I am not a full time racer so I said just enjoy the track day. I came with some good settings and just stuck with it.by Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Good touch up paint? - 3 years ago
Does anyone know where I can get good touch up paint? I got some off of eblah and they said it was my year and color but when I put it on, it is not the same color. It is a little darker. I only put a little on so I can cover it up, but does anyone know of a place that has the correct color and not one that is "close".

Re: It was the key - 3 years ago
The shop called and asked if I could bring a spare key to the shop because they were getting an antitheft code on the obd. Puzzled as to why I would get that I said I will bring it over. They tried the spare key and it started right up. He did it a few times just to make sure. I asked why would I have an antitheft code on my car when I was starting it with my key? He said if you push the locby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
Re: Bad fuel pump? - 3 years ago
Unfortunately, it is sitting at the shop, so I can not try some of the options. Well I hope it is the ignition switch. I agree about the switch being hard to access.

Bad fuel pump? - 3 years ago
Hello Everyone, well here I go again with another problem. I was out today just driving around, stopped for some lunch but then when I got back in and tried to start it, it would crank and it would sound like it started but as soon as I let go of the key it would die. I had no check engine light and I had my odb reader with me and there was nothing on that. The electrical was fine because allby Michael SYS Driver - Main Forum
