Did you figure out what your problem is? I had the same thing happen. Temp light flashing followed shortly by a constant CEL. Don't mean to scare you too much, and I hope it isn't the same thing...

No, you mis-read, but I can understand how. The last name of the plaintiff and the attorney are very similar. The attorney is Nagel, the plantiff is Noble. I thought the same thing when I read it.

I agree 100% with you on point 1, but just because the lawyers are going to make out the best of anyone I don't think that is a reason for Porsche not to be held accountable.

What boggles my mind is that Porsche chooses to profit from their own poorly designed product. At the very least you'd think they could offer to sell replacement engines at cost for those whose...

What difference does it make if the guy is the first, second, or tenth owner? The way I see it what matters is the upkeep and the mileage. True, it doesn't say the mileage in the article, but that...

Yes, mine is an 01. Slipped sleeve is what they said it most likely was, but as far as I can tell, they can really only go so far in diagnosing it without totally ripping the engine apart. They did...

Your right, it's a very big gamble. One I wouldn't have taken if I knew then what I know now. I've had my 2001 Boxster S for a mere 5 months and two weeks ago the engine blew. The Porsche dealer...
