Now take my Boxster engine pleeeze.....



For all you engineers and mechanics out there do you ever think why is this engine so complicated? Okay you got your air quality so you got to have an AOS.



How many sets of chains? And the two sets of chains have to be within a certain tolerance. Camshaft deviation tolerance etc.



Water pump condition? If old gotta replace that in case it explodes into a thousand fragments.



While in there replace the coolant reservoir coz it is old.



While in there you gotta replace the IMS to prevent the engine grenading. And while in there gotta replace the RMS and the clutch and don't forget the flywheel condition.



I crave the simplicity of the old VW bug engine. When did Porsche start to go sideways with their cars? If a person added up all the replacements then it is not a far stretch to say to heck with it and spring for a new Porsche!



3 years of extreme fun. There is no substitute!? Okay I am on vacatiion from anything German. 2 months not driving the Boxster and I am not missing it yet.

So the car is unreliable because you spend too much time on the Internet and replace every major component that MIGHT wear out? I don't think being neurotic is the fault of the car.
