Engine failure/breakdown; no real explanation from pca, many other Boxster owner with engine failure, search at-- www.986board.com/board/986board.htm --. all of the sudden Boxster engine suddenly fails/breakdown, dealer replaced them but what will happen after engine warranty is over and the engine fails due to the same problem. In view pca offices does not give a real answer, probably they are avoiding a engine recall and wait until every engine breaks/ fails. It will not be safe to the owners of these cars. I do really appreciate if you are able to investigate in your busy schedule. A Boxster engine failure registry will be available in the next couple of days, where you will be able to confirm what I wrote to you. Thanks.
