Engine

I recently bought engine and transmission mounts to replace the mounts that have been in my car since new. The front mount has apparently been modified somewhat since it now has a 987 part number rather than a 986 number. One thing I noticed that I wanted to ask about is that the new mount seems to be much more compliant than the original one even though the rubber in the original mount appears to be slightly deteriorated. This makes me wonder if installing what appears to be a softer mount will result in the car's handling being degraded.

Gentlemen:  My 2001 Boxster S has 46k miles on the oro. It gets exercised every 2-3 weeks in winter and does 3-season weekend duty. It sleeps in the garage. At about 32k miles, DIY replacement of the alternator allowed inspection of the belt, which appeared excellent with no  cracks or chafing evident. But now it’s 19 years old, and during dealer service a year ago which included coolant flush at my direction, I was advised of seepage at the pump pulley shaft, though no accumulation on the body pan.

Hi, Have a 1998 Boxster that is showing CODE PO134 (02 sensor ahead of Cat Bank 1). I have replaced the sensor once, coded and replaced it again with the same issue. Any direction in correcting this issue would be appreciated. 

Thanks, Ken

I keep getting CEL P1128 P1140.  Changed all o2 sensors, h20 thermostat. cleaned MAF, Cleaned MAF sensor. No oil leak from AOS to air intake,AOS shows no oil leak. Removed oil cap and suction seemed normal. No lose of idle when doing this.  could it be the fuel ?

How much should a reputable mechanic charge to replace the clutch and rear main seal and fit an IMS retrofit kit to a base 987.1? I'm being quoted around $5,000. While I love the car and would like to own it for a long time, that's nearly half its value, and I'm not made of money. Plus, Pelican Parts sells an IMS retrofit for $800 and a complete clutch kit for $800. $3400 for labor?!

<p>hi, i've noticed that after my 2008 boxster has warmed up or after a drive, when i start again, starting is not as smooth as when the car is 1st started.&nbsp; it actually knocks and turns over roughly.&nbsp; is this normal or do i ahve an issue?</p>

I have a 1999 Boxter and am revving up for spring and trying to resolve a problem that cropped up before I put it away last fall; the engine coolant light to the right of the temperature gauge is blinking slowly all the time (engine cold, warm, coolant level full). Since it started I have been watching the coolant level and the temperature gauge. The temperature gauge never gets much above 180, and the coolant level always is full. 

I tried to follow the manual regarding checking the power sterring fluid as I hear a slight whine when I turn the wheel all the way.  Does anyone else find it almost impossible to get to the power steering fluid cap?

Today, had long time cranking before engine start. Was running rough. Got warning that says "fault engine control. Can be driven. Any suggestions? Fuel system? Ignition coils?

thanks for any suggestions
