camshaft adjuster

Hi there,

I have been looking for a boxster for a while now and got one offered via PM on a Dutch Porsche website.

Car has a broken camshaft adjuster, apparently something that costs 2500 euro to fix here in the Netherlands.

I have been working on Volvo's for over 10 years and do all my maintenance myself, however completely new to Porsche. Is this something that can be done by yourself, any good posts or books I should look into regarding maintenance on Boxsters?

I have called a few garages here to get a clue and they all told me to back off this car and look for a good version for a few 1000 more.. Any help ?


Edit: forgot I found this site a while ago http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/16-ENGINE-Camshaft_Swap_and_Chain_Tensioner/16-ENGINE-Camshaft_Swap_and_Chain_Tensioner.htm
