The PCM 3.1 is run from a magnetic disk HDD. As with any magnetic HDD it is susceptible to failure. This failure is usually exhibited by a PCM that repeatedly reboots itself. But this can be avoided by preemptively duplicating and replacing the HDD with a SSD.
The PCM HDD is located on top of the PCM. There are instructions on removing the PCM available on line. Except the PCM does not need to be removed completely. It does need to be pulled forward enough to get to the top of the PCM...

Last year, I replaced all of the rotors and pads on my 2011 987S. In doing the replacement, I got the parts through a friend that does work restoring early Porsche brakes as well as full restorations. There was one issue that came up however. The front pads were correct as far as size, plus the vibration weights. But they were notched out for fitment of a rear brake sensor rather than having a hole drilled for the normal front brake sensor. Since I already had the car up on jacks and wheels,...

Note this is for the 986 series only.
Replacing spark plugs and tubes in our 986 Boxsters is fairly straight forward but because of the tight space of the locations, it’s helpful to use a few tools to make the job easier.

The forward facing wheel liner needs to be removed. An easy task using a 10mm socket on the two plastic...

Just started doing my own maintenance (2004S) and am currently replacing all of my filters. (easiest stuff first, right) I had difficulty purchasing a fuel filter, in fact I couldn't find one anywhere.Then I vaguely remembered reading somewhere, that post'02 Boxsters were built utilizeing a lifetime fuel filter?.. Anyone have any info they can share with me ? Thanks.:)

Sometimes it is necessary to remove the seats for cleaning, repair, or to access the Central Locking Unit (CLU) of your 986. It's a simple job, but I thought it be helpful to document.
Step one is to disconnect the NEGATIVE terminal of your battery. This step will help you avoid throwing the airbag light, which can only be reset with the dealer/indie computer or a Durametric device. Ask me how I know this....
Note: it is easier to remove the seats with the top down, so lower the top...
