I've had my 2000 Boxster 2.7l for just over a month now and repairs are getting to be a pain. The last two weeks I've had to replace both the coolant tank and the AOS. Both jobs took about eight hours each in my hands and arms are all cut up and bruised.

Let's see, I've also done two oil changes just to flush out the motor, and I flushed the cooling system before I realized the coolant tank was leaking and I had to change it.

Next on the agenda is the water pump. This weekend I took the auxiliary belt off because I thought I heard one of the tensioners going. The tensioners are all fine, but the water pump has some play in the pulley.

After that, I have two change the the fuel filter and transmission gear oil.

Hopefully after all that's done, I'll actually have some time to drive it!
