... get replaced for the wrong reasons. You need to know that OBD2 code Readers speak in code. Even though you're reading: "aging sensor ahead of catalyst, bank 1-3" the only thing that's a given is that it's happening on the right bank of the engine. The aging sensor doesn't mean that it's an old sensor, but rather that the signal the ECU expects to see from the sensor is weaker than it wants. Iby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

I'm assuming you have H7 halogens in your car. Probably what you describe as dim is just your parking light and not the low beam. The parking light makes it seem like a dim bulb, but the low is probably dead. Have you checked the fuse? Fuse A-9 is Low Beam, right side. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

If you REALLY want to get them exactly you could install a variable resistor (rheostat) on the faster window's 12 volt line and start increasing resistance until speeds equalize. Good luck! Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
The two beeps when locking the car just means that there is an open circuit in one or more: • Front hood • Rear trunk • Right door • Left Door • Oddsment compartment If they are all closed and latched and you still get the two beeps, there may be an issue with one of the door locking mechanisms.

Even though we're not in a flood zone, the Boxster is 6 feet off the garage floor. My wife's ride is underneath and my "evacuated" daughter's next to that. All good. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
I gave Porsche that award years ago! The Normally Aspirated, Flat-6, 2.7L engine from Porsche is by far, the BEST of the "standard" engines they have produced. It makes more power per liter than any other (101 HP/L) and is practically bullet proof. Glad to see the International Jury agrees with me. Sorry to see that they give the award when the engine is now mothballed since they only offer the 2by Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
There aren't that many that can clear airbag or seatbelt warning lights. Certainly not the $40 ones. There are many that advertise they clear them and really don't. Be cautious because if you get a cheapo reader that writes code it can screw up the whole system. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
inside the seatbelt latches, you need clean contacts so that the ECU doesn't see a voltage variance and declare an error code. Contact cleaner is all that's needed. Sincerely, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

I have found that with time and use, the inside of the buckles get very grimy. When I see the light come on, I liberally spray electrical contact cleaner into the buckle using the little red straw that comes with the spray can. While spraying the cleaner I quickly and repeatedly depress the release button. This action seems to wash away any contaminants and usually turns off the light.

I like to install the GAHH A5 and A5 Acoustic. The fit really depends on the installer's experience. It's easy to leave wrinkles and only practice eliminates them. Get a pro installer that has done more than 30 and you'll be fine. Sincerely, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
I always recommend AGAINST installing a glass rear window in a pre 2003 Boxster. First, it's more expensive. Second, it weighs more Third, access to the engine bay is hampered Fourth, the glass window is tiny, with horrible rear view Fifth, the glass tends to delaminate because of the added stress on tops that are used Just my $0.02 Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
You have to physically inspect each one. Although there are 4 brake sensor units, one in each corner, there are two sensors per unit (one in each pad). Sincerely, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum
If it's not the pad or the sensor then there's a short in the wiring or the connector. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Main Forum

If you google Boxster headlight inner lens replacement you should come up with a vendor that sells them. The issue is that to replace the lens you need to crack-open the headlight by baking it in the oven. It's a tricky maneuver but I've done it a half dozen times. The outside finish is simple. Buy a Griots Garage Headlight Lens Restoring Kit. It's great! Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Parts for Sale
There aren't any! When I decided to restore my car I looked and looked and couldn't find anything decent. So I bought a lot of 6 headlights for $400 and made two that were pretty good. Then I modified them to HID/Condensers and LED. Happy Boxstering, Pedroby Pedro (Odessa, FL) - Parts for Sale
