No warning lights ever came on. I WISH I had been red-lining it! At least I could justify the failure somehow. I expected more from a Porsche engine. Hell, my 1980 Fiat Spider had almost 100K and I drove that harder than the Boxster.

I plan to cut my losses and sell as-is. I will let you all know how much I was able to get for it.

Thanks again

It sounds like you just blew the AOS.. Whining is a symptom of one of the 3 ways the AOS can fail.

We pay cash for broken Boxsters and 996s, repair them and then sell them with our updates made.
