Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) systems can sometimes fail to activate properly, which may be due to sensor issues or software glitches. This can hinder the car's ability to assist in emergency braking situations.

Engine misfires

With a 6-cylinder engine, misfires can occur due to issues like faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors. This can lead to rough idling, loss of power, and increased emissions.

Overheating

High-performance engines, such as the 394 hp engine in the Porsche 718 Boxster, can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not functioning optimally. This could be due to a faulty thermostat, radiator issues, or coolant leaks.

Oil leaks

High-performance engines often experience oil leaks, which can be caused by worn-out gaskets, seals, or oil pan issues. This can lead to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Turbocharger issues

If the vehicle is equipped with a turbocharger, problems such as turbo lag, boost leaks, or turbo failure can occur. These issues can affect the engine's performance and efficiency.

Check engine light

The check engine light may come on due to a variety of issues, including sensor failures, exhaust system problems, or emissions control malfunctions. Diagnosing the specific cause requires a detailed scan of the vehicle's onboard diagnostics.

Brake wear

The dynamic braking system and high-performance nature of the vehicle can lead to faster brake wear. This includes wear on brake pads, rotors, and other related components, necessitating more frequent maintenance.

Transmission problems

The high power output can sometimes strain the transmission, leading to issues such as slipping gears, delayed shifting, or even transmission failure. Regular maintenance and checks are crucial to prevent such problems.
