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.

I have a 2005, 987 that would blow smoke every time a started it. On top of that it lose power when I down shifted it. I took it down to Pfaff porsche turns out I needed new plugs,MAS and an Oil Seperator. Everything but the plugs was coverd under the Warrenty.

POST 2Original post

What is a MAS? I too have a 2005 987 2.7 and I have been experience much more smoke/exhaust when starting up lately. I go to Pfaff as well and they told me it was normal. I have not noticed any power loss though. Any additional info would be appreciated.

POST 3Original post

Hello Timlb, my check engine light came on and my car started to lose power so i took it to Pfaff. I ended up getting new spark plugs,oil seperator and a Massive Air Flow sensor. Everything but the plugs was covered under warrenty. Now when I start up my Boxster no more smoke! Pfaff did a great job just don't let them wash your car I got a few swirl marks as a result.

POST 4Original post

Thanks for the reply, I always take my car to them pretty clean and ask them not to clean it for that reason. I like going to them, they usually look after me well. I love your colour, it is one of my top choices. Did you take advantage of any of the 09 997.2 drives recently at Pfaff? I did and it was a blast.

POST 5Original post

Timlb,Thanks Man, I always wanted polar silver but when I saw Seal Gray Metalic it was a no-brainer. I missed the test drive how did it compare to your Boxster? I know a master machanic in Portperry. His shop rate is around $80/h he did some work on a bimmer of mine. Worth a look!

POST 6Original post

The new 911 PDK is impressive but I like the feel of my Boxster. The steering always feels tighter to me probably due to the weight distribution on the Boxster / Cayman. I think my next car probably will be a Cayman. Driving the Base compared to the S really doesn't seem to make a big difference. I guess I like how the 911 is iconic compared to the Boxster but it is hard to justify the price difference because the Boxster is so balanced. I think you are right, I will need to find another mechanic rather than paying hefty prices at Pfaff once the warranty is up. Port Perry is a little far as I live in the east end of Toronto.

POST 7Original post

timlb, thats a tuff call. On a hot summer day you can't beat a drop top. I guess if you want a better track car the Cayman is the way to go!
