I've got a question. For $600 bucks, aren't there plenty of folks out there who would just disconnect the battery and let the CEL go out, and just forget about it until it comes back on. I did that 18 months ago, and it stays off until last week. I can't get too energized about a freaky light.

Hmmm, I'm getting different plug numbers from different suppliers. Is FGR 6KQC correct for 2000 Boxster S, and does the plug have four prongs or just two. The photo has some glare. Thanks again.by kentv1 - Main Forum
Great, very helpful. About the Codes, will the code reader device actually then state if an O2 sensor or MAF is bad, or will it merely indicate that was where the "fault" occurred?

There was once a great post here on all that. c) Can I eby kentv1 - Main Forum
Where do you get those "keys" that slide in to remove the Boxster radio? The faceplate on my radio keeps acting erratically. Sometimes it light up. Sometimes is doesn't. If I push it in, it lights back up--but not all the time. It's like a trick that only works 3 of 5 times. Something definitely is loose or dirty back in there. I think. Any advice on those tools?by kentv1 - Main Forum
My level looked a bit low this morning to I added coolant and water. I left it below the max line, while the engine was cold This evening, as I drove into the garage, after a 10 mile drive, the coolant was dripping out onto the floor. My coolant tank was just replaced 4 years ago. Any ideas on what happened? Is there an overflow tube, and could I have overfilled it by adding coolant while it wby kentv1 - Main Forum
