I tried the other day to change the air filter and had to crawl behind the seats with the top halfway folded to gain entry.

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.

POST 1Original post

Hi. Just wondering if anyone here has experience with trying to access the engine of the 05-> Boxsters? I tried the other day to change the air filter and had to crawl behind the seats with the top halfway folded to gain entry. How do the technicians at the dealers work in there? Is there a more practical way of reaching in? Alex

POST 2Original post

This is from the 05 owner's manual -- I used this because my 07 Box manual doesn't have this info anymore. Porsche seems to be recommending visiting the dealer for everything. Regards, paul....

POST 3Original post

Thanks Paul, I've been searching for this for a long time now. I own an 07' boxster and my manual is just like yours, so maybe now I'll be able to install the intake a do a couple of other mods I been planning! Alex
