Boxster Tiptronic flashing 'D'

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

O wow thats great and it sounds like it's in line with what i thought in terms of gearbox oil being low and running hot. I'll certainly contact local Porsche centre and ask them about temperature.

Would you know where I can get the right gearbox oil for this car (except from Porsche). Lots of forums talk about ensuring to get the EXACT right oil for the Tiptronic gearbox as they are sensitive. Alternatively as most people will be replying from the states, what brand/viscosity would be best?

Mine is a 2004 Boxster Tiptronic S.

Can't help you there because I would not attempt to change my trans fluid as the torque convertor has to be cleaned with a power hose. The trans fluid has to be put in at a certain temp and forced back into the torque convertor with the same pressure system. When the fluid level reaches running out of the trans the drain plug has to be put back in and the car needs to be started and run through the gears then more fluid, if needed, has to be added. It is quit a process that I gladly pay someone , who knows what they are doing, to do it.

Go to the Pelican parts web site and order the parts. I would do a drain, filter swap and fill. I ordered the kit which included a filter and gasket. It's been a while since I did it.
