Smoking Boxster 3.2s 2000

[extanker]

your colors seem about right,oil smoke tends to stay around longer. how long did it run while you were bleeding the cooling system ? its just a matter of time before a CEL comes on ,either from oil or coolant damage. the AOS is a crankcase breathing system......just another thing porsche cant get right

Yep Porsche seem to struggle in a few areas of the Boxster and ive had em most lol 3 new pressure caps

kk i did all the jobs and the next day leaving the bleed valve (water) open did a trip of about 50 miles without any issues or problems , the very next day i went out to do another 50 miler and upon startup the smoke started but dissappeared very shortly after startup , so i put her back in the garage and tried the next day which had a longer smoke flow , so again i put her back in the garage , today i went out started her up and it was thick for quite a while and thinned down there after but still present , during all this ive had no CEL light or codes , even with the laptop connected nothing is showing as ab-normal.

The smoke certainly doesnt disperse like steam from a kettle it drifts up the road and into the neighbours back garden which is approx 60 foot away

thnx

Start the car and let it idle, then try removing the oil fill cap in the trunk. If it is difficult to get off, you have a blown AOS and need to park the car until it is fixed. To do otherwise is to risk blowing your engine............... And, no, a blown AOS will not always trigger a CEL............

this is the advise you should listen to

also not to sound too condescending, but it is pretty cold over there now - are you sure it's not just the warm exhaust hitting the cold air...

in the winter my car can quickly fill up the garage with "smoke" if it's too cold in there...

I just did the air oil separator. It's not too difficult and made a huge difference. read up.

its starting to sound like an AOS.....you must have sacrificed a virgin to the fire god to get that lucky. are you sure the oil isnt too full. you can try to remove the oil fill cap while the car is ideling....something about if its real hard to remove its a bad aos....but dont quote me
