Hello Everyone,
I took my '98 Boxster in because the driver's side flooded, and the mechanic (a Porsche dealer) said some things that I know are wrong and put some questionable parts in my vehicle.
They said the driver's side door and the fuel door locking mechanisms, which had always worked in the past, suddenly does not lock because of wear and tear. I was there when they burned out, there was a loud shriek from the hood servo and the fuel door which obviously caused the damage.
They replaced the Alarm ECU on my 986 with 996-618-260-07.
Other owners of the 986 mention replacing the part with this number 986-618-260-00.
And they did not include an alarm remote.
Is this the right part, and shouldn't I get the remote with the new ECU?
Thanks,
Jonathan
