You are correct... AOS... It will be my third AOS. I already removed it and ordered another one. I will probably install next weekend. Why can't Porsche improve this part??

Wouldve been my first guess if it wasnt for you having replaces so many times before, i am assuming mine is on its original, and has 106k miles... time to look into some preventive m.

hope you have your box running in no time!

Now that I think of it... I replaced the AOS three times so this makes it number four for this Boxster.

Because they have to admit the Yanks have a better, non-engine-endangering system. Porsche's is not even a good execution...

Mandatory! AOS is the only maintenance item I have left on my list. Maybe this year.

Jager what were your symptons? Big cloud of smoke?

I noticed a little hesitation going up a hill, as it leveled at the top of the hill there seem to be a few miss-fires, I looked at my dash for CEL and there were none. Then I looked in my rear view I noticed a fog of smoke behind me. I slowed-down and pulled into the right lane and off on the next exit. As I pulled into the Mobile station (one I frequent quite often) there was an impressive amount smoke coming out of the tail pipe (a little scary at the time). But it didn't take long for me to realize it was probably the AOS.
