Hello guys!

As I reading on the internet about Boxsters I came across to the below information and I would kindly ask your advice on that...

Did all of you have changed that relay? Where is that? is that any manual online? DIY?

"Replace your relay.

A common failure on older Porsche is the fuel pump relay or DME relay. This is important for all you 996, 993, 964 and Carrera 3.2 owners. Check in your handbook for the location, then pull the relay out and check the age (printed on the relay).. I have just removed one from an 89 911 that was the original part. In this case nothing wrong with it but for little money well worth replacing now. When they fail the car won't run and you will have no warning. Replace yours now if its over 5 years old."
