r/987

Hello everyone!
does anyone know how to change the fuel consumption display on a Porsche Boxster 986/987 from L/100km to km/L?

Is anyone in the market for one? I bought this awhile ago off of eBay and found that I prefer the button shifters (I know, total weirdo)

Asking $500 (also listed on eBay if you prefer that route, but it is slightly more expensive there)

Local pick up in the Bay Area preferred but will ship at buyers expense. Happy to do a video call to confirm the steering wheel beforehand. Feel free to ask any questions.

Edit to add: this will obviously work for all .2 cars with the PDK transmission and reuses the stock airbag. There are confirmed posts online that say that you can make this work on a .1 tiptronic but that’s on you to figure out.

I am dealing with a dead battery and everything I’m seeing online is that you can give power through a post in the fuse panel to give enough juice to pop the hood, but my car seems to be missing that post. Is there another way to supply power via the fuse panel or do I need to approach this differently?

What do we think new bumper?

After about a year of searching, I found this gorgeous vehicle locally from a wonderful family. Growing up, I always assumed the Cayman was not good enough (I blame Top Gear!). Having now driven it 300 miles, I’m confident this car will stay with me for many years.

Measurements needed!

Hey folks. Can someone tell me the distance between the rear deck lid edges and the ‘Boxster S’ script?
I need to mount a new badge, and I’ve already messed one up by just trying to eyeball it.
I think if I can get the measurement from the badge to the bottom of the lid, and from the end to the sides of lid, I can line the new badge up.
Many thanks in advance for the help!

My ’08 Boxster S consistently shows warning messages for both front side lights: “Check front left side light” and “Check front right side light.”

Both lights are functioning normally, so the warnings appear to be false.

Has anyone run into this? What typically causes it, and what’s the fix?

Hey guys so I just recently jumped in to a 2006 boxter s and I’ve been hearing this noise on start up and while I’m driving. It seems to get louder when the engine is under load and is either drowned out by the exhaust note or goes away around 4k rpm. Doesn’t seem to get any louder or quieter when I drive it for a while. At first I thought it sounded like an exhaust leak but from under the car it sounds like it’s coming from the top left of the engine either by the air box or in the head. What do you guys think?
