Had a new 2001 BoxsterS. After about a year and a half it didn't start on the first key turn. I thought a car only 1-1/2 years old should. Took it in and they replaced the MAF. That fixed the starting. But then it started voilently backfiring out the exhaust on deceleration. Violent enough that it blew the welds out of the muffler. Over another year and a half it took Porsche 3 sets of catalitic converters, two more mufflers, and an entire engine that threw a rod bearing and it still had the problem. Then they discovered they had replaced the MAF with the wrong one causing all the problems. The new engine did not include the MAF.

Frustrated me because I kept telling them the real problem started when they replaced the MAF. They even replaced it again. But instead of ordering the MAF that goes for that make, model, serial, they replaced it with the same wrong part number they took off.
