Most common problems:

Engine misfire

Engine misfires can occur due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, which can affect the 4-cylinder engine's performance.

Turbocharger issues

The Porsche 718 Boxster's turbocharged engine may experience turbo lag, boost pressure problems, or turbo failure, impacting overall power and efficiency.

Oil leaks

Common in many high-performance engines, oil leaks can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals deteriorating over time.

Cooling system problems

Issues such as a faulty water pump, thermostat failure, or radiator leaks can lead to overheating in the engine.

Fuel system malfunctions

Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or injectors can cause poor fuel delivery, resulting in reduced engine performance or stalling.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines, like the one in the 718 Boxster, are prone to carbon buildup on intake valves, which can decrease performance and fuel efficiency.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Faulty timing chain tensioners can lead to improper timing, potentially causing severe engine damage if not addressed.

Sensor failures

Sensors such as the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or crankshaft position sensor can fail, leading to inaccurate data being sent to the engine control unit (ECU) and causing various performance issues.
