wicked vibration through-out entire car

[SD987]

It sounds like a classic case of either demonic possession or aliens attempting to communicate with you via your Boxster. If the Boxster starts spinning around on it's mid-engine axis or you get the uncontrollable urge to mold your mashed potatoes into Devil's Tower, you'll know which for sure.

Glad I could help.

sd- in fact, just the other day, I began shoveling trash and dirt into my kitchen window after I swore the boxster moved it's front trunk up and down and in not so feminine voice - urged me to build it...

my wife promptly said that she wasn't terri garr and to immediately get the dirt the f*(& out of the kitchen!!!

What about the vibration issue with the faulty oil relief valve? There is a TSB out on this. Looks like an easy fix too. Go look over on the RennTech site for more details. Loren there had a good post with the engine numbers involved on some specific 2005's.

thanx - will check it out

mach schnell, the TSB# is ENU1726 for the following engines:

The TSB says the new control spring is "as of":
Engines manufactured since December 5, 2005 as of engine numbers:
M96.25 61 6 04763
M96.26 62 6 03668

The date is not that important (except that if your car was built before that date it couldn't have the new control spring). If your engine number is below the engine numbers above (depending on model) -- then you need the new control spring.

You can find your engine number in either your warrenty book or owners manual. I don't remember which. It is in the first few pages.

I hope this is helpful, but your vibration sounds like it is much worse than the issue covered by this TSB.

Good luck and let us know how it works out with the dealer.

bmussati - so are you saying that if I have an engine number DIFFERENT than either the two you listed, I potentially have the faulty oil relief valve? Or are those the engine numbers that are specific to the faulty oil relief valve?

mach schnell, sorry. I edited the statement to include:
