For what it’s worth.... I replaced the stock 180deg thermostat with a 160deg. I also replaced the 2.7L oil cooler with an S cooler. Both were simple R&R operations. The result is the car is running...

I was going to confirm this as well. I just replaced the rear tires with Michelin All Season Pilots, on my 2000 stock base 986. The fronts have 50% wear. Replaced the two rears because I had a...

Went to a Porsche dealership to have them match up the keyed lug from their master key set. They finally found it. Rather than buying a key, they agreed to pull out all 4 keyed lugs and replace them...

Had the 160deg thermostat installed. Love it. The needle points to the left hand edge of the “8”. And I warms up faster. I expect it will creep back up to the “0” on a hot day and stop ‘n go. So far,...

Thanks so much JFP. Say, do you think an S oil cooler on 2.7 motor would add significant cooling?

Sorry, have a question about a 160deg thermostat

Fascinating convo. Seems to make a case for the LTT stat. Question: will a 160deg stat throw a CEL due to coolant temp variation from OEM?

I just saw this thread. For what it’s worth, I’ve been fighting the P1341 CEL code for nearly a year. No luck. Am told bank one is off 6 degrees. Yet the car runs perfectly. Surprisingly (to me), it...

Sorry, I just saw your reply.
I am suspecting the plug under the drivers seat. Had an issue with it a few years ago. Super tight space tho. Did you remove the seat?

The guy at the shop thought he’d need to order the windshield from Porsche. Obviously he didn’t know there were after market windshields with antennas. Thanks so much.

Windshield antenna alternative

It’s time for a new windshield. Stopped into an auto glass shop today and learned that my current windshield includes the antenna. A new windshield without the antenna is $400. W/antenna $1200....

Thanks!

The car runs great. I guess the cam adjusts too slowly and throws the CEL. I assume the nature of the smog test doesn’t test for the rate of timing adjustment. I think the car sits on...

Ideas for diagnosing air bag light

Any suggestions on where to start? I replaced the grommets under the air bag 6 months ago due to the horn going off. But it seemed to go ok, no light anyway. Until about a month ago when it went on....

Reviving the vario cam discuss

Thought I’d update my 1341 CEL issue. After spending nearly $2k trying to solve the issue, I gave up. Either I can smog the car for another 2 years or I sell as a parts car. I’ve been driving the car...

When can a 2000 Boxster be smogged

Anyone know at one point I can get a smog test after the battery has been disconnected? How many miles or what period of time? I disconnected my battery last weekend to replace grommets under the...

Ok, now I have the pattern. If I raise the spoiler manually, it will stay up regardless of speed. When I turn off the motor, the spoiler will remain up. When I start the car next, the spoiler still...

This is the end of the saga for now am afraid. I made a mistake (again) with interpreting a diagnosis. This time from Modermann in Palo Alto. I thought “Needs adjustment, that’s all” (my words, not...
