You are correct... AOS... It will be my third AOS. I already removed it and ordered another one. I will probably install next weekend. Why can't Porsche improve this part??

Wouldve been my first guess if it wasnt for you having replaces so many times before, i am assuming mine is on its original, and has 106k miles... time to look into some preventive m.

hope you have your box running in no time!

Because they have to admit the Yanks have a better, non-engine-endangering system. Porsche's is not even a good execution...

Is the flatbed voluntary or mandatory?

Mandatory! AOS is the only maintenance item I have left on my list. Maybe this year.

Jager what were your symptons? Big cloud of smoke?

I'm still trying to figure out the function of the AOS. Isn't it roughly equivalent in function to an old-fashioned PCV valve?

Yes like a pcv but because the motor is a flat 6 it has a harder time controlling the oil vapors. Its also different from a pcv in that the porsche uses a close crankcase system with no vent. So in instances where a motor has more blowby and higher load it tends to force the blowby back into the intake.

In that case...what does Subaru do? They're the only other flat boxer motors being built today IIUC.

Other cars I've worked on have two vents. One is the PCV valve connecting the crankcase to the intake manifold on the engine side of the throttle plate. The other is a plain tube vent (perhaps with a flow restrictor) connecting the crankcase to the intake plumbing between the MAF sensor and the throttle plate. Is the AOS a combination of these two functions?

Just out of curiosity do you do a lot of engine braking? I wonder if that has an effect on the aos?

No, I very rarely down-shift and use the engine to brake.
