Tiptronic died, diagnose now
 

Hi all,

I was driving (my just 1 hour ownership) Boxster 2.7 2001 tiptronic. I noticed the car sometimes slipped, not much later it lost all drive to the wheels. I had to be towed home.

I had some code on the tiptronic, i have cleared them and they have not come back, theres a photo of the ones i got whilest it still ran

I have drained the Tip and only got about 2 liters out of the pan. no real debrish in the pan ether.


Filter and oil where replaced 4 months ago looking at the history, the datestamp on the filter confirms this.


Are there any other things i should check out before i put in the new filter/oil/gasket? Should arrive somewhere next week so i got some time to kill anyway.

No Tiptips?

Sorry, I was doing other stuff and didn't see your post.

When you drained it, you only got 2 liters out? Refill capacity is 3.5 liters (3.7 qt.) So I guess I'd put it back together with the proper volume of ATF-1 and see what happens. Slipping is usually a sign that an automatic transmission doesn't have enough oil. BTW, it takes a Porsche specific oil, I used Pentosin ATF 1.

Thanks!

I have ordered: MOBIL ATF LT 71141 following the line of oil already in there.
This meets the specs no?

I would recommend going to the Pelican Parts website and looking at the article on drain and refill the Tiptronic. I'm getting ready to do mine and I bought 10 quarts of Pentosin ATF and a filter kit. I think you're low on fluid! The procedure for draining and refilling are fairly lengthy and pretty specific. The car has to be level and COLD to drain all of the ATF. Then refill, start the car to get it into a specific temperature range and continue filling until the 9ish liters are in.

Yes i got the 101 project book, its great!
Pan is already off, filter was done begin of 2018.

Initially i planned on just topping off the oil and see of there is any life left in the gearbox. On another forum people indicate to always do the filter too.

So now i am waiting on the parts to arrive.. but already have the oil.. very tempted to try just the oil With the old filter.. itchy hands overhere

Got the kit in yesterday, today i did all the work and the car actually moved on its own again. However it was super clunky and no reverse. Also the fluid started to piss out the engine side too (seal?)


Looks like the end of the line as a replacement box is just as much as another boxster overhere :(
