Another vote for Autel

I have both Durametric and the MD802 Autel. Durametric has issues with my 1999 airbag and can't communicate but the Autel works fine. Plus the Autel works on my VWs for the service stuff.

Camshaft adjuster questions

Hi,

Car is a base 1999 Boxster.

At a recent autocross event I believe the bank 2 cam adjuster was stuck in the "on" position even at idle. After a run I had a rough idle and a P1524 code and...

You know what, I felt funny at first as well since most people though I bought an "$80K" car when in fact it only cost me $15K. Its a great car and even greater when you use it as intended at a PCA...

This happened to mine as well. The solution is adding some good thin 2 sided tape under the rubber strip.

I assume the "additional cloth strip" is not even from side to side? Mine sort of...
