No, it's just a bolt - 4 years ago

The rest of the cross-brace uses studs with nuts on the end but that one is a bolt that screws into the body.

It's behind the round door shown here

Only on road trips - 4 years ago

I used to add the roadside assistance on my cell phone plan. It used to be $3/month, now it's $5/month and you can turn it on and off any time online. Now my credit card has free roadside assistance, as do many.

The pills are industry standard and all you need is the programming key for it in order to make it work with the Boxster.

"just" - 4 years ago

Without the original programming code for the key you cannot program the car to recognize the second key. Most people don't have that.

Small experience - 4 years ago

I have Savanna Beige leather and I asked LSeat to send me a sample. The color was not like what is shown on their web page and was definitely not a match. The quality seemed meh.

There are leather repair kits that do a decent job - 4 years ago

It won't look perfect but it will likely look much better.

Full reupholster is great - 4 years ago

but probably not as much for someone with multiple tears if you know what I mean

Looks like coolant residue - 4 years ago

which would be a sign that the bearing in your water pump is wobbling. I would pull the serpentine belt off and wiggle the water pump pulley with your hand to confirm.

Partly about priorities - 4 years ago

I've seen some "full leather" replacement covers that are downright yucky quality. In pictures they might look ok but the details aren't right and they don't feel very good. I mean sheesh:

Fixable - 4 years ago

If you take it to a good leather repair place they should be able to it so that you can't even tell there was ever a problem. And it should be cheaper than any of the other options other than ignoring it.

You have the wrong pin on the DME - 4 years ago

Pin 88 on the DME is for OBD-2, nothing to do with the cam sensor. Here is the wiring for the two cam sensors: Pin 53 is power, common for most sensors Pin 21 is the signal (incoming to the DME) Pin 34 is ground, common tor most sensors

Diagnosis - 4 years ago

Does it happen only when you hit a bump? Does it happen if the car is rolling but the engine is stopped? Does it only happen when the car has been sitting for a while or after rain? Does it happen equally when the car is in/out of gear? If you push down on the corner of the car that has the sound, does it make the sound? Does it only happen when cold or hot? Does it happen when the parking brake

Other codes - 4 years ago

That is very low mileage for a 21-year-old car! Some codes are invalid when there are certain other codes. Please indicate all of the codes you're getting.

Questions - 4 years ago

What year and model is your car? How many miles do you have? Have you done any relevant/related service? Do you have any other codes (even pending) or have you recently?

When your AOS was changed was the throttle body also cleaned?

It's 19-22 on all cars - 5 years ago

There could be several reasons why your wiring works/fails the way it does. It could be that relay 20 or 21 has a bad ground, for example. The correct jumpering (as per the PedrosBoard link I included above) is 19↔20 and 21↔22. I recommend you try that.

That shouldn't be - 5 years ago

The relays 19,20,21,22 should be (respectively): left low, left high, right low, right high Here is the actual diagram from Porsche:
