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.

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
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.
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....
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.
Maybe you can add to your 300K and drive on up to The Great White North when my AOS needs replacing. It is fine now but I'm sure it will start to go eventually and it is not a job I'm looking forward to.
So out of curiosity I had a look at the AOS for your car. It appears the accordion hose and pinch connections have been eliminated and are now slip-on rubber hose and clamps?
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.
Nope, it has the accordion hose and spring clamps. I use a clamp tool similar to this:

Do you plan on replacing it yourself? If so send me a personal message with your phone number when you are ready to do it and I can provide some guidance and advise.
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'...........
