Re: Abnormal 03 Boxster break pad wear - 4 months ago

Re: TPMS battery life - 9 months ago
Thanks Guenter, Was Pirelli your first choice? It was available at Tire Rack? How many miles are on the tires you are replacing? What was the date on the TPMS sensors? Looks like you did a good job--doesn't surprise me. I assume Pirelli tires are the ones your are replacing? How about a comparison with the Michelin after about 1000 miles.

Re: TPMS battery life - 9 months ago
No problem-- I know you will do a good parts selection and a professional install--enjoy the process.by Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: TPMS battery life - 9 months ago
Guenter---When you finish, please provide your results: Make/model of TPMS and Tires selected. I am assuming your going to purchase both and provide them to an installer. Costs: TPMS--$ Tires----$$ Install--$ Also, it is my understanding that no special program needs to be done (PWIS) and the car will learn about the new TPMS after a short drive. If it were me (2016 Boxster S), I would purchaseby Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: TPMS battery life - 9 months ago

Re: Locked Boxster Trunk - 2 years ago
Only thing I could of is that you could put 12V on the solenoid valve via the fuse panel but don't know if a fuse is available for the front hood.by Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: Locked Boxster Trunk - 2 years ago
Pedro--Please explain how the dealer "special unit" will open the hood with the battery being disconnected.by Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: Worthy cause donation ... - 2 years ago
What are the names of the charities that the $2,500 will be given to? What date will the charity selection vote take place? Who is paying for the manufacture of the hats since all $2,500 for the 100 hats @$25 each go to charities?by Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: Happy Thanksgiving! - 2 years ago

Re: Is this something I need to be concerned about?? - 2 years ago
Get under the car and look. Probably the power steering pump, lines that run up the drivers side .by Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: Power steering pressure line leak - 3 years ago
Pedro, Do you need to disconnect the line at the rack and pump and pull it out to replace item 15? Jerryby Blackbird - Main Forum
Re: Power steering pressure line leak - 3 years ago
Pedro, How do you access item 15? From the LF fender liner or do you need to disconnect the line at the rack and pump and pull it out? Also, since the leak is at the coupling can you just replace it instead of the line with coupling or just replace the "O" rings in the coupling? Jerryby Blackbird - Main Forum

2003 S The PS pressure line is leaking at the joint from the steering rack--see item 15 below. What is the procedure to fix this issue?by Blackbird - Main Forum
