problem #1

Apr 272012

Boxster 6-cyl

  • 32,000 miles
The intermediate shaft bearing when out and spread metal shaving throughout the engine. This caused a catastrophic engine failure. I have to have the car towed to the mechanic and will have to have an engine rebuild. The car has been service according to the company provided service manual. I called Porsche usa to see if they woudl do anything about the failure, since this has been a documented problem with certain Porsche, but the company would not help.
