Hmmm... It's actually a great thing in wet or cold conditions. And... it can be turned off with one touch of a button. So it's great either way.

I THINK I've read that TC On means a possible loss of acceleration. Anyone know this to be true? Do you turn your TC off in dry weather? Any percentage of power gained with TC off (your...

The service advisor said that it didn't sound right, but then the service tech said it's working as designed. I REALLY think it's BS since I think one 99 owner said his didn't do that. Anyway, I'm...

Yes, Auto is off

I am taking it into the dealer next week and I'll ask them about it. Another weird thing is... When the Heating and Air unit was off, then I turn the car off, then back on later... Again, it does...

Thanks JBG. The reason I ask about the programming is that my BMW 3 Series USED TO do the same thing. Then I took it to the dealer for another issue and it randomly stopped doing that. I think the...

climate control question

Hi everyone...

Yeah, "986s". Post something worthy then. This is not riveting by any means, but I think it's decent. Basically because I read somewhere that 60% of Boxsters sold are silver (and I doubted that). ...

It's no hassle at all to put it on or take it off. Should be done by 2 people though since it weighs 55 pounds.

I have no idea about the inserts listed above though. I had the dealer do it. ...

That's exactly the case on mine as well. I just recently picked up a '99 with only 21k miles and it had the hard top. But as it turns out, it must have been added after the fact because that's...

Thanks very much. Does the (1997) mean that it probably only applies to the '97? I have the '99. I will have that checked though. Thanks again.
