No external signs of a mishap, so the next step would be to pull the engine and start disassembly. Porsche NA isn't making any commitment until I spend probably upwards of $2K to investigate.

A quick internet search popped up intermediate shaft failures as a recurring problem in Boxster engines. Any experience with sudden engine shutdowns?

Any ideas how to get Porsche to accept some responsibility?

Many thanks.

Sorry this thread has drifted so far off your topic. I spent the day with a PCNA district service manager while working a new model launch & he received several calls from dealership service managers asking for his OK to do goodwill warrantys. In every case his 1st question was did the customer always have the Porsche serviced at authorized dealers? I hope this helps with your discions.
