WTB: Failed AOS - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Anyone got an failed AOS laying around in their garage?

I'd like to buy two or three failed Air Oil Separator's to tear down and determine the actual failure mode(s).

Interested in determining if there is a preventative upgrade that could be developed/created.

Please PM with price (incl shipping to zip code 91030).

Thanks.

I had 1 for almost a year but threw it away after I rebuilt my engine & passed a smog test like a new car. Now I'm looking for 1 for the same reason as you. OK Foreign has had a good used 1 on E-bay for about a year for $59. I made them a offer & they countered with $50. so if you want 1 that is supposed to be OK offer them $40.

I have one that operated fine on the street but was dumping large amounts of smoke on the track...not sure if you'd be interested in it. Also have the one off my 996 engine in unknown condition.

If you still need one PM me or email. Just send me me whatever you think is a fair price and $10 for shipping and handling.

Robert, I sent you an email.

Anyone else got a failed AOS laying around?

I have one, didn't fail, but you can have it for $10 to cover shipping.

I'd be interested in your results. i have had two fail on me and each time caused thousands of dollars of damage. I cut one in half to see what i could find, "not much". as a preventative measure i replace it every 50,000 miles. This AOS problem is so ridiculous that one $100.00 part can cause so much damage.
