By died, do you mean you preseed the pedal to the floor and it stayed there? If so, there is tons of information here on dealing with it. If you're lucky, like I was, it is just a ruptured line.

Actually yes, then it popped up, but while pressing I could not change the gear. If I stop the car, and turn it off, then I am able. When I press clutch put in the gear and realease the clutch the car is not moving. Luckely, I have found a person in my city, who knows Boxster and how to fix it. I was told most probably it is clutch disk (Ferado, don't know the precise name in English).

I have found clutch kit, on ebay for about 350 USD, from SACHS.

Also, I read here about the problem which my car has. This is idling problem. When I drive at a low speed, less then 10 km/hr, before turn or at traffic light, sudunly RPM's go down and cars is stopped, so I have to restart it, and now problem.

As I understood, and I was told, this could be 1. Air filter. 2. Fuel filter. and injection system needs to be cleaned. I am ordering the filters, and will try to clean the injection system as well. Will report on the solution.

Is there anywhere the Bentley Manual for free????

Welcome.

Sorry to here about your friend. I can understand you selling your bike after something like that. I had a Honda Magna. Low rider bike with the racing engine Lots of fun. I sold it just before my wife got pregnant. She was concerned about the safety issue and didn't want to be a single mom. I sold it to make her happy.

Now, I have a Boxster instead, I call it Roxanne - it is my other woman, so to speak. Love it. If I could trade Roxanne back for my bike, not a chance. Love the car way more.

Sorry to here about you troubles on the new car. Hope it works out for you.

Show us some pics of your new ride.

BLK,

I guess you are in Georgia as in Tbilisi, not Georgia as in Atlanta.

Ebay is a good way for you to obtain parts. Be sure to look in ebay uk, ebay deutschland, etc.

These cars are not that difficult to work on. Sounds like you found someone you trust. If you are not a mechanic, anyone you know who has had success on other cars will be able to figure out most things.

I downloaded the manual from Boxa.net. Not sure it's still there.

Yes, I am - Georgia, Tbilisi, to be more precise, I am from Batumi (Second big city in Georgia on the Black sea coast).

I didn't have enough time to take picture of the car. This is the only one on the day I bought it and drove home.

Two weeks after the purchase... I planned to go on my first long trip (from Georgia to Turkey on my Porsche) and show it to the Service there. But the clutch failed on the way to the border ;(..
