Smoked and choked - First Boxster problem = AOS?

[kk2002s]

You just wish that a component like this could allow some ability to limp home and some warning.

So from those who have done this - If one had a new AOS part and the tools, could this be fixed on the side of the road.
Circumstance going on long trip - take the part as a spare in case

From what ive heard it depends on how ruptured it is. On the total meltdown side the aos can cause hydrolock. Which is bad. And I think means a rebuild.

Because you have to go in from both sides id say not a roadside repair unless your kit includes a jack and jack stands. I'm a fit fan but when I got mine replaced I paid for it to be done.

Realistically -- no. Not that it's impossible, but it's just that its a real pain to do.

I'd pay the AAA -- get it some place safe and do it there.

I'm not 100% sure -- but I think you might be able to remove the connection back to the intake and try to build a catch can if there isn't too much oil "flowing".
I don't think you can block it -- the back pressure probably would either choke the engine or it would blow the "plug".

Remember it doesn't take much oil to create quite the smoke screen.

Don't be fooled tho -- I would only drive it long enough to get home.

Also note -- I've never tried this, YMMV, and I'm not responsible for the consequences.
