Jӓgermobile2 Part Failure
Guess what the first part/component (that just failed) I will be replacing on the Jӓgermobile2? I have had this Boxster only three months, and of course this had to be the first part to fail.
Hint: I replaced five of these over the years on Jӓgermobile1

Rear main seal, AOS or water pump?

Three guesses??
I would hate to replace the Rear Main Seal five times... But no.
AOS... Yes
Water Pump I replaced three times on Jӓgermobile1.
Living near sea level is rough on the AOS. I wish there was a better after market AOS available, at a reasonable price. The Heavy Duty AOS Porsche makes is crazy expensive.

Sorry for taking three guesses, but didn't the original Jӓgermobile have over 300,000 miles?

Yes it did... Over 304,000 miles.
What I have not seen before is the P0507 error code (idle control). The RPM's are a little high at idle (1100 RPM), understandably with vacuum leak. But no smoke on start-ups or while going down the road. Definitely an AOS failure, it sounds like, and feels like, a shop vac at the oil fill tube with the cap removed.

I received the AOS from Pelican Parts today, amazingly quick delivery. I replaced the AOS in about 1 1/2 hours... I'm getting pretty good at replacing those things.

Ok, I'll Jinx myself...I live about 10 feet above sea level. My 2000S has 133K miles and I've not had to replace the AOS in the almost 10 years and 58K miles I've owned the car.
I better go order the part....

Guess I've been lucky too. At 17 years old and 55k miles the AOS has never once given me any trouble.

1 1/2 hours...nice!
I know is the AOS is much easier to replace on an 03-04 than the earlier cars...
I did a buddy's AOS on a 2003S that I'd sold him. I certainly took me longer than 1 1/2 hours...think it was more like 2 1/2. Pretty straight forward once I could put my eyes on everything.

And by now, I bet you replaced it for less than $100 and in less than an hour.
So where are you mileage wise these days? About 375K?
Just wonderin'...........

Yes, AOS.
I ordered one yesterday, it should arrive tomorrow. This is my second Boxster it has only 117,000 miles on it. I am pretty good at swapping them out. Driving along the ocean near sea level sure takes these AOS's out often.

Hmmm driving along the ocean at sea level in Washington and Oregon doesn't bother them a bit.

You must not be driving much or not REALLY DRIVING.
Jake Raby has posted this finding a few times. He has not seen Porsches from states in higher elevations with failed AOS's but only from states along the coasts.
I have replaced five AOS's in previous Boxsters and this is the second AOS since taking ownership on my current Boxster.
I like hearing 6000 RPM a lot.
