READ ANSWERWhy left rear brakes squeak goes away when touching brake pedal?
Sunday 10/18/2026 | 2006 | Boxster S | Brakes
Pedro, I've just changed both rear brake rotors and pads but the left rear brake squeaks only goes away while touching brake pedal. I rebuilt the calipers several years ago (no noise) and car stops fine. The brake fluid is at correct level. The activation of the rear brake lever while moving does not stop the squeak. I'm thinking that I may need to replace the caliper. What do you recommend I do before replacing the caliper? ...

READ ANSWERMy 2 car keys no longer let me start the car intermittently.
Wednesday 08/12/2026 | 2006 | Cayman S | Electronics
Hello, recently, I started having a problem that’s becoming more and more frequent with my 2 car keys. The keys are detected (1 or 2), but sometimes nothing happens when I turn the key and I can’t start the car with it. I have to try several times or switch keys for it to finally work. I thought it was because of the key batteries and I replaced the battery in one of the two keys. The problem is still there, and on top of that, the remote locking of the doors and trunks no longer works with t ...
READ ANSWER997 clutch pedal rough action: need a clutch?
Monday 08/03/2026 | 2006 | 911 Carrera Cabriolet | Transmission/Clutch
My 2006 997 suddenly developed a very rough clutch actuation. No clutch slipping but during the engagement and release the pedal feels rough. The same feeling occurs with the engine off or running. Clutch engagement can be jerky but seems like the mechanism is not letting the clutch slide freely, just a guess. Do you think this is the master/slave cylinder, or possibly the pilot bearing is going? Think it’s worth just biting the bullet and doing the clutch while we are in? The car is driven ...

Just received a "new to me" '06 987.1 Boxster Base, w/ a CDR24 Installed. I'd like to upgrade the Audio so I have Bluetooth & Hands Free Calling. Additionally, I'd like a backup camera, maybe a dash cam and navigation but those are wants, not needs. The care DOES NOT have BOSE Audio.
