their diagnosis sounds accurate from your description, but I can't comment on the price they're charging as I'm not too sure what's involved with replacing said items

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Quick question... I was just told my my auto repair that the crancase ventilation value and breather hose needed to be replaced after i towed 02 Boxster in. After looking at the forum this seems to be the AOS issue. They called in my warranty and was told by Intercontiental warranty that these items are not covered. my question is does this sound reasonable?
thanks for help....
Reading your warranty is like trying to find out if your covered for certain health items... It vague...it says no deductible amd it mentions vaccum pump but I dont really know what AOS even is.
not sure on the warranty issue, but a quick way to know if your AOS is in need of replacement is LOTS of smoke on cold starts
they said those parts need to be replaced, but what symptoms are you suffering and what was the cause for the tow?
I had been seeing some white smoke at some cold start ups. Then one morning last week I started it and felt very rough engine idle and it died.. Started it again backed out of garage and still very rough just new something was not right. Had it towed for that reason. Auto Shop said they need to replace something like the Crankcase ventilation value and breather hoses. Coming back to this fourm it apears thats the same as the AOS issue. Repair place called into warranty and I guess those items where not covered. So its costing me about $800 repair at the shop. I'm not a DIY kind of guy...

smoke is normal on cold starts (nature of the flat 6 engine) but if the AOS is failing/failed, you will see a LOT of smoke for a good 4-5 minutes (think 80's metal show before the band comes out
)
their diagnosis sounds accurate from your description, but I can't comment on the price they're charging as I'm not too sure what's involved with replacing said items
maybe someone else can chime in on that, but hoses (even P-car hoses) can't be THAT expensive. sounds like a hefty labor cost. hoses shouldn't be too hard to replace to be honest, even for a non-DIYer
