My first post -

I have a 2.7L 2000 Boxster built in 1999. In 2004 my CEL went on and I took it to a dealership and they replaced the MAF with the 125.01 part number. The CEL went on within 3 months and they replaced it again with a 125.01. Since then no more MAF problems.

I was reading through 986forum and found out the the early 2000 cars should have the 124.00 MAF or need their DME updated if they have a 125.01 installed. My receipt from the dealership did not mention that an update to the DME was done. Based on the info from the Porsche Tech note on VINs that need the 124.00, I believe mine should have had the 124.00. My VIN is 985YU622841

So my question is how can I find out if the DME has been updated to the proper version? The dealership went out of business... I have noticed a lag when I press the gas after being steady at around 3000 rpm and thought this may due to the wrong MAF.

I do have the novice durametric software and it says I have DME 7.2, type ID DME control unit 986US04, data version 0041570264503413.

Thanks for any help!
