How reliable is your Boxster?

Pull up your carpet in the back trunk as well as the plywood base and look for coolant puddling up on the metal. If this is the case, then you need to inspect it and see if it's a loose clamp, cracked hose or the expansion tank itself.

Mine was a little low and I put in some distilled water (just a little) and never had a problem since, so it's worth watching and checking out, but not fretting over.

2000S Problems so far and fixed under extended warranty:

1)Replaced CV Boots
2)Replaces valve cover gasket seal
3)Replaced MAF
4)Replaced clutch pedal
5)Replaced 3 O2 Sensors
6)Replaced oil filler tube

So...nothing real major. Although every time I think I have a problem the car is taken to the dealership to take advantage of the exteneded warranty I purchased.

BTW- I have had the car for 1 1/2 years and have added 15,000 miles during this time. The CV boots and valve cover gasket seal were problems already noted on the car prior to purchase. Total mileage on my car- 53,000.
