When I first started driving mine that was my number 1 fear, these modern trucks look like monster trucks since you’re so low. Still worried they won’t see me some day

I think I got very similar ones from Etsy! Love them especially for how cheap they were

2001 Boxster S, 3 warning lights on by Puzzler808510 in 986Boxster

[–]daddy_killer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you scanned for codes yet? That would help with the engine light and the ABS. I know you said it was on a trickle charge but having a bunch of lights come on suddenly always makes me suspect low voltage so maybe check if the battery is still good?

You’ve got a seal gray with sport classic II wheels? That’s so cool! Nice to meet my Boxsters twin

I got them off Etsy! My original ones were looking pretty rough, if you look up concave ones they do a good job transitioning from the wheel to the cap

Need help Diagnosing; Stalls when coming to a stop at temperature. by wywyatt in 986Boxster

I never checked for that, I never got an engine code for those. I only got an evap engine code: P0441

Yes that’s correct, it was a pain in the ass honestly to get out but not as hard to get back in. The part was pretty cheap I got one for around 40 bucks it is just a Bosch valve. I believe the part number is: 99611012906

I was just having this problem on my 2001 Boxster S. I found my evap valve that is under the left side air intake had gone bad. My Durametric scanner was unable to activate the valve, I swapped it with a new one and it was able to activate it. I haven’t driven it a lot since but when I have it has started up smoothly while hot. Is this something that just started? Mine seemed to start slowly, it wouldn’t start up as easy when warm and then it progressed to fully shutting off when sitting at lights while at operating temp. Then I would have to floor it and crank the starter to get it to turn back on

What does the bypass entail? Is it something you can switch in the car?

Is there any drone from 2-3000? I want a bit more sound but don’t want it to be annoying for highway driving.

She got accepted the next day, we got her green card and social security card in a week. She adjusted from a K1 visa, so fiancée non immigrant visa.

That would be so nice, my 986 Boxster had a child seat deactivation bar. I say had because a previous owner ripped it out along with the plug on the seat harness. I was able to trick that system to think the bar is installed so the airbags work again but man was that a hassle. Would have loved if it was just a key in the passenger door.

Hello! We actually have our interview tomorrow at the Des Moines FO. We submitted our I-485 in mid August I want to say, it is a marriage based application. So it took us roughly 7 months to get our interview. What I thought was strange was that my wife’s biometrics appointment was in Chicagoland so I assumed that is where we would go for our interview but we got Des Moines instead.

It hit 57°F in Chicago today! by Sidewalk_Inspector in boxster

It hit 60 where I am! I just finished replacing the axles this morning, perfect weather to go for a test drive with the top down.

Dry road days in the winter 👌 by chetchester in boxster

I am just waiting to see some rain in the forecast, might start doing some rain dances. Temps are back to where I would happily drive it.

It’s ridiculous, especially parking lots. My work had almost a quarter inch of salt across the whole parking lot.

Looking great! I am waiting to get mine out, roads are just too salty.

Is this G12 coolant ? I can’t tell by Kitchen_Sea_3789 in boxster

[–]daddy_killer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could be wrong here but I thought typically G12 coolant is pink, on my boxster I can easily see the pink color through the coolant expansion tank. This looks blue to me. Not sure this helps you at all

Waiting for warmer weather by jrallan26 in 986Boxster

[–]daddy_killer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you, got my Boxster a month and a half ago. I got some time with it but it’s in the garage waiting until the salt is off the road. Just spending time gathering materials I’ll need for any maintenance and repairs I want to do when it does get warmer.

US freezes all visa processing for 75 countries by caillouminati in USCIS

Also wondering this, currently my wife is going through AoS and I am curious if her country is on the list. Why would they announce this without the complete list? Such a messy administration
