Aos is on right side and if it's going out you can have an air leak. Has two hoses and a bellow on the bottom.. Also if it's failing will have oil there.

1 800 346 0182 Sunset Porsche. Part and top tube to intake was just over $100 and install took 2 hrs with just a jack, jack stand, 1/4in 10mm deep socket w/ extension, small channel locks, and small needle nose vise grips. Labor should be 1.5 hrs but a shop will probably charge 2.

Air/Oil Seperator write up?

Only things I did different was popped the bottom ball sockets to lift the top (my top ball sockets have pita retaining wires), and just used needle nose vise grips to compress the clamp on the bellows and reused the factory clamp. Also it is hard to get the small channel locks to pop the hoses off, i used my fingers and a real careful screwdriver to pry. Oh, and I did more from underneath than Brad did.

I also had 1128 and 1130 I am chasing. It's been a couple of weeks but only 100 miles or so, fingers are crossed hoping the aos was it.

BTW, thanks again to Brad for the great write up, it was super helpful.

i just had my AOS replaced and am still getting the 1128 and 1130 codes (mainly on cold days or when I get stopped at red light/stop sign for prolonged periods of time)

I don't think it's the AOS causing this, but most likely a vacuum or exhaust leak
