items due for service at 112k miles ?
hey Guys,
I like to do some work on my 01' boxster 2.7 with 112kmiles , looking for suggestions - mostly stuff as cleaning injectors and throtlebody, MAf sensor.. replacing belt , and such how about the oil separator ? not sure about modifications maybe later ! things done already : oil baffle x51 . thanks .. |
change the oil, filter & crush washer. check level of other fluids....then drive the car. If it isn't broken, dont fix it.

My 00S needed a refresh @ 117K
Clutch and suspension, these items fade rather than fail, the difference was amazing, I did drink the cool aid and replaced the IMS bearing as well. This likely unnecessary.
I also replaced the RMS while I was there. |

I know it rides kind of hard .. I think I m going to hold off on the IMS and clutch as long it feels good or no unussual nosie . |
If it leaks, it needs to be replaced
|
for suspension, steved0x put together a list. i used it to refresh my suspension. It is very helpful which you can tailor to your budget.

my take
When I replaced my suspension, my rule of thumb was; if it involves any rubber at all, replace it.
While my takeoffs felt ok (with no point of reference), the new ones were night and day. A significant expense, however I have had the car for 17 years and have no plans on selling her. Parts went ~$3500, it took a fair amount of time. If you have the budget and time, do it. |
appreciate it ALL.
I have been busy working on my Q5 supercharger .. just got done with the work all worked out good. I will be looking underneath to inspect see what it looks like will post what it looks like if the suspension looks Ok i might be looking at the IMS update kit and other components there .. I m thinking like to keep the car as long as I can . hate to risk it ! |
I think I have made a decision on what DO and what NOT to DO for now:
replacing part: oils separator, serpentine belt , fuel filter , cleaning throtlebody , cleaning o2 sensors AND NEW rear and front struts and shocks - plan to get everything form Rock auto inspected suspension surprisingly control arms seem OK NOT doing right now: clutch plate , IMS bearing car has 112 k miles there is no noise or signs of any issues there .. also heard from burners cars dude and other professional mechanics if it did NOT break below 100k miles , chances are it wont IMS failure maybe OVERSTATED ! that is my take on it .. your thoughts wellcome |
