Hello everyone, so I looked at a used boxster today and of course also tested! So far so good, now I have noticed that it smelled very strongly of coolant when driving?? What can that mean? Thanks in advance!! ) Here are some data about the boxster: mileage: 152,000 km power: 150 kW / 204 hp fuel type: petrol environmental badge: 4 (green) first registration: 11/1997 Equipment: ABS, El. window lifter, El. immobilizer, leather equipment, light meta ll rims, power steering, seat heating, central locking

With the DKG there is the possibility to switch up and down on the steering wheel by means of shift paddles. Now, however, with Porsche the switching scheme is probably exactly the other way around as usual, which is described in the first tests also as very needing to get used to. Reason must apparently be Mr. Wiedeking, who has the attitude that with Porsche everything has to be in general different than with Ferrari, whether it is meaningful or not, simply on principle. Does he still have all ? Markus

Together, did one of you order the sound and thermal insulation glass (VW5) in the nine CAY or installed it? – does anyone know the noise reduction in db ??? – are also the rear panes all in insulating glass, since privacy tint is installed here? is the tint of privacy glass in insulating glass more or less? (Porsche writes: similar ???) – is it really much quieter at higher speeds? – is the extra weight worth it? Thanks for your help AUDI-DUS, from July with CAY (I have by the way nothing found in the forum!)

Many stolen rims on the market!!! I also heard not finished! https://www.bild.de/…/…-gauner-trio-3956-gums-59482784.bild.html

Hello together, I’m not usually present here, because I don’t own a Porsche at all. However, in our childhood we probably all had the dream of owning a Porsche. I was never a fan of the 996, that’s what I have to say. You can’t hear anything good about him, certainly not about the early models, i.e. with 3.4 liters of engine capacity. At the 3.6 liters of engine capacity you can hear better. But in turn: At Wetzel Automobile in Hamburg there is a later model from 2003, so berei ts a facelift with 3.6 liters. It is a convertible with a good price. There are several hooks: The kiloemterstand is atypically high with 241,000 km, no service booklet, so no service proofs – only invoices. For the good: The vehicle should be in good condition and “only” cost around 23,000 €. Comparable vehicles cost in the BRD already about 35,000 € with service booklet, pure history etc. Here it is: http://www.wetzel-automobile.de/ Simply select in the list The price is ambiguous. At the beginning is 20,900€, then 23,900€. You have to clarify. My invoice is as follows: Buy and then drive. If what is, then a complete engine revision and just invest 10,000€. Then you would still not get out so badly. You can always pass something, even with vehicles with lower mileage. Only there you have invested more when buying. In addition, if the vehicle has down 240,000km, then here and there something has to be done. Otherwise you wouldn’t have done it. Besides, he could have done another 100,000km without anything. Now my question: What do you think? Thank you and lG from Austria, Willi

Sorry for the many questions about the equipment, but next week I will conclude the contract for my 718th. Actually I don’t necessarily need a navigator. Is it true that it’s still wise to take one because it’s just standard and nobody buys me the box without Navi? Who has experience with it?

To all 997 Porsche Turbo Tiptronic owners/samplers: How high is the fuel consumption in the city with you? According to Porsche the consumption should be 19 liters! Has anyone already been able to undercut the value, or can one expect 19+ liters? mfG, Max

The chassis of my Boxster S with PASM and 30 mm lowering is too hard for me in my everyday life and also too spongy. In the press, the precise handling and direct suspension of Porsche, especially the Boxster/Cayman, is always praised and it is also very good compared to most cars, but when I recently drove the Lotus Evora test, I unfortunately had to find out that it is much more direct, more emotional and even more comfortable. n has, is a mystery to me, but now I would like to sharpen the chassis of my boxster a little bit. Does anyone have experience with other stabilizers (e.g. from H&R ) or other springs/dampers (Bilstein?)?

Hello Sorry, I just came over from the Golf 2 Forum and wanted to ask a question quite humbly… Maybe someone can help me here?! Since there has been a certain kinship for a long time and there are also various joint “projects” of the two companies, moreover my vehicle can wear the paint from Zuffenhausen since its birth (L94E) , it is now near to convert to a real brake …! There are adapters, so that you can a Porsche Saddle a In such an E*** auction for such adapters on the Golf G60 wheel bearing housing, a part number of Porsche Boxster saddles was given, which should fit on the 280mm VW disk installed with me. (986.351.421 / .422) Now I have also discovered saddles, which have practically the same part number and also listen to the description of the brake disc size “suitable”, are only of 993. (993.351.421 / .422)http://cgi.ebay.de/…/2 50861884124?… I only know the following: 993 or 986 in the TN stands for the 11 (993) or Boxster (986) 351 stands for VA 421 (422) stands for the right (left) Now is only the question: Are the two saddle types the same? Bzw: Can anyone explain to me the difference between the different saddles? Thank you! Greeting!
