Not a brake man by marygi

I'm a Box owner also, and plan to do some of the maintenance. As a general rule I believe Porsche recommends new rotors with every 3 brake pad replacements; as you know the rotors can't be turned. It's a good idea to have the mechanic show you the damaged/replaced parts. He might have an idea as to why this happened. For competent answers, visit renntech.org, a place for more technical aspects of P-care care and maintenance. Good luck.

I have an '04 and I simply replaced the CD holder with another storage shelf that I purchased from the dealer. Here is a link. http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=P&Product_- Code=shelf986&Category_Code=POTEBXIN

dead battery ;( by jgboxcat

My 07 Boxster only has 20k on it - I haven't driven it now for 3 weeks and the battery is dead - called Porsche Roadside and they said they'd have to send it to the deal on a flatbed truck! Gee, didn't think the battery would die THAT fast. I'm going to try to old jumpstart - will be very disappointed if I have to spend $400 on a new battery - I love this car but sometimes feel like it's a money pit.

jump start, drive it around for about 45 minutes without teh lights or stereo on.
take a break do it again
if you have a car battery charger, that should do the trick..

I have an '01 Boxter S, I get an intermittent howl from gas fill flap area. Have had some success with insert of insulated rubber strip under filler flap door. Would love to find permanent solution, the only thing that really bugs me about the car.

A Boxster in my Bucket List by deaztlan

Hi: I want to become a member of this select group but I don't own a Boxster.
 
1) I can afford ($40k) a 2007 Boxster or a 2006 Boxster S. All things being equal what are the pros and cons of each?
 
2) I live in the Palm Springs are but will travel anywhere in Southern California for a reputable dealer. Any recommendations?
 
3) If availabe should I pay to get it certified/warranty? If I get one from a private party can I still do this?
 
4) I got a 1st round pick the last time and this time it is my wife's turn and she wants an '08 Infinity G37. In return for a 1st round pick the next time and for the Boxster to be automatic, I get a 1st round pick again. Question, can people tell that I am driving an automatic? Is there some way to fake it and make it appear like it is manual?
 
Thanks

My wife figured out our howling noise. The angle of the drain hole in plastic shroud surrounding gas cap was allowing air into it, creating whistling noise. Noise stopped by building up leading edge of drain hole with sealant, allowing air to pass over not through it.
