Porsche Oil Ingestion Fix Installation 3
They look like 4 pages of the same article. Can someone tell me why this was published as 4 separate articles???

Boxster Engines from 2003 to Present..........
Porsche Service Dept advised that the engines are substantially the same (with the exception of Variocam Plus) and that this 'fix' will refer to Current cars as well.........................
Is not the Cayman a variant of the Boxster?
The heart of the matter is that Porsche know this problem, and had a fix worked out for the Boxster, but failed to implement it in the Cayman..........
Thanks for posting that, Karel. I had been wondering about the vacuum line ports on the top of the new VOS, and this bulletin says they are not needed.
Based on this, I'm going to have a talk with my local dealer. Maybe I can get them to do the work under warranty.
As an FYI the motorsports separator has a coolant line running through it which the factory separator does not, but it is easy to tap into the coolant near it.
Do we even need the coolant line for the VOS? I suspect that, even in arctic conditions, the 987 engine compartment stays much warmer than 996's would -- wouldn't that be sufficient to keep the VOS from icing up? I don't think any 987 owners have bothered to hook the VOS into the cooling system, and no one has reported any problems so far. Dunno, maybe it's just a matter of time....
I just checked the instructions Karel posted, and on page 3 it says,
So, I guess we don't have to worry about connecting a coolant line.
kareldeeley,
Not to downplay the work you have accomplished (thanks), but I have reduced all four files down to one PDF file with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro to 780KB versus 10MB. No loss in resolution or quality. Are you interested in the file?
Many Thanks..........
I picked my Cayman up from the dealer and then flew directly out on vacation to Slovakia to stay with friends in a 2 horse (one donkey as well!) village, close to the border with the Ukraine - Taking the papers with me.
I am using a rudimentary computer system/scanner....... BUT I FELT THAT THE INFORMATION WAS TOO IMPORTANT TO WAIT THE 2 WEEKS UNTIL I GET HOME.....
If you want to post another file for the convenience of others, please do so in your own name I will not be offended.....
Once again Many Thanks..................
