My 2001 Boxster sometimes develops a burning rubber smell from the engine area. I'm thinking that it may be caused by the drive belt - any other suggestions? I intend to change the belt and I'm told that to gain access all I need to do is push the seats forward and remove the carpetted section behind them and remove the front engine cover. I had a quick look at this but I can't see where or how to get the carpetted cover off - is it just a clip on thing or are there screws etc - can any body help with this please?
Also I'm fitting a set of headers next weekend - I understand that when installing the headers to the engine, I need to tighten the bolts from the centre of the manifold to the outside. What I don't have is the torque settings for these bolts - can anybody help me with this? Is this the correct tightening sequence?
Many thanks in advance
