My boxster (black also) 64k on the clock has the same problem. I crashed my car and did minor damage. Still cost me £6000 to repair. Got the car back and blue somoe poured out the side vents and exhaust then car over heated.

Took the car back and was told i needed a new water pump which i paid for at £450. Got car back 10 mins down the road over heated again but no blue smoke.

The system was flushed so all the gunk (water and oil mix) was flushed out so the car should have been running better than before if not new.

Took the car back in and was told the Cylinder Head might be cracked. How can i find this out for sure?? I have been told I need a new engine is this the case or can it be repaired. if so will a specialist be the only person able to do this or can i get a small garage who charges less to do it.. im at a lose end as i have had the care for 5 months and only had it to drive for about a month. it has cost me £6500 already and think im looking at another £3000. In all honestly its way to much to pay. I bought the car for £12,000 originally.

Any suggestions on this..

Chheers guyx.
