Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 1 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

So, car has been running pretty rough, and I was getting a few codes that lead me to replacing the AOS . AOS is replaced and man does the car run so much better (baffle in AOS had a tear as well as the casing was leaking, when I smoke tested the intake/vac system). Erased the codes and after driving about 12 mi the CEL came on and got the P2097 - post catalyst, rich. Wondering if this typically is the cat going back or just a faulty sensor? Havent found a clear answer on which thru my research.

POST 2Original post

Your catalytic may have been contaminated due to excess oil vapor in your exhaust . I have no idea if it will help, but there is catalytic converter cleaner catalytic converter cleaner - Google Search I have no idea if it works and have never used any (a Google search might turn up opinions).. just offering it for a cheapish thing to try that might help keep the code away.

POST 3Original post

I would clean and inspect the sensor as a start point, old GF with a VW was quoted $1500 for a new cat. Slapped a $25 sensor in it from ebay, CEL gone.

POST 4Original post

Just curious is your car a Cayman or Boxster and what year? Getting ready to do the AOS on my 987.2 and looking for some insight or a DIY page

POST 5Original post

I have a 987.2 cayman and just changed mine. This is a good DIY video I found, and I purchased the part from FCP euro because of their lifetime guarantee. . The process wasn't difficult. Hardest part was snaking the old AOS out.

POST 6Original post

Looks easier than I remember the 986 job where I was working from above and below the car. O ring seats no flimsy tube with easy to brake Playschool connectors, sweet. I'm doing this in the spring after the brake flush as a preventative because of age not symptoms.

POST 7Original post

Was it also a P2097 code?

POST 8Original post

Twas a VW just posted it to suggest the easiest cheapest r/o (rule out) items when doing it yourself is IMO an acceptable process as zero labor cost more than makes up for any misdiagnosis on small replacement cost wear items. If it's going to service just let them do their thing.

POST 9Original post

I understand it was a VW but was it the same CEL code of P2097?

POST 10Original post

It was long time ago, sorry I don't recall the specifics.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
