Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Porsche engines, including the one in the 2017 718 Boxster, are known to develop oil leaks over time, often from the valve cover gaskets or rear main seal.

Coolant leaks

Issues with coolant lines and connections can lead to leaks, which may cause the engine to overheat if not addressed promptly.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils in Porsche vehicles can fail, causing misfires and reduced engine performance.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharged engine in the 718 Boxster can face problems like turbo lag or failure, which affects overall power delivery.

Timing chain tensioner problems

A faulty timing chain tensioner can lead to improper engine timing, resulting in poor performance and potential engine damage.

Piston ring wear

Over time, the piston rings can wear out, leading to loss of compression and increased oil consumption.

Fuel injector problems

Clogged or failing fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel delivery, causing rough idling, reduced power, and increased emissions.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like the one in the 2017 718 Boxster, are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

O2 sensor failure

Faulty oxygen sensors can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, leading to poor performance and increased emissions.

Water pump failure

The water pump may fail, leading to coolant leaks and potential engine overheating if not replaced in time.
