Oil leaks

Porsche Boxster engines, especially those with a few years on them, are known to develop oil leaks from various seals and gaskets.

Ims bearing failure

Although less common in newer models, intermediate shaft bearing issues have been a problem in some Porsche engines, leading to severe engine damage.

Coolant leaks

The water pump and coolant hoses can sometimes fail, causing coolant leaks and potentially leading to overheating.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Engine mount wear

Engine mounts can wear over time, leading to vibrations and engine movement that can affect performance.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling, misfires, and poor engine performance.
