Hi fellow Porsche-ites.

 

I thought I'd revive an old post since I didn't see a fix for this problem.

 

I'm getting a p0650 along withn  p0300, 301, 302 and 303.  I took it to a local dealer who charged me $175 to tell me that all cylinders are misfiring. I already knew that.  They want an extra 2 hours and $325 for further diagnosis. What!?!?

 

I thought I'd ask the forum for a fix.

 

I have recently done the following:

- a major tune up (replaced spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter, oil and tranny fluid change, etc)

-  replaced AOS

-  replaced MAF

- checked for vaccum leaks and didn't find any.  HOWEVER, I didn't see smoke coming out of the oil dipstick. (a little concerning?).

 

Anyone have any ideas for a fix?

 

I have a 2000 Boxster.

 

I have this exact same problem with mine same exact codes literally! so did you ever find out what the problem was or how to fix it?

It may, but it is not a guarantee.  There may be other issues as well, or it may just be low on fluid from leaking.

Alright i guess its the best shot is to find and fix the leak problem first then go from there. thanks for your time and help!

The 986 Boxster uses a transmission based on the ZF 5HP19 transmission used by VW/Audi/BMW as JFP says.  Any good transmission shop should be able to fix it.  There are on-line parts catalogues for the ZF 5HP19, but if you have trouble finding one drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send one I have in PDF.  Just Google and you'll find lots of info.

 Hello Richard Hamilton,

 Thank you for the information its very helpful! Very much appreciated, I will look on google but google always has different parts that show up sometimes, 

Yes if you can drop me a pic of what the front seal looks like in pdf that would be excellent! thank you for taking the time to help.

So if i get the seal replaced and fix the leak and fully finish the transmission flush. should Porsche go back to normal and drive properly again?

 Thank you JFP in PA I am glad to be here!

  Okay that is a kind of a relief to think its not the torque converter. I have a good feeling that is is the (Front Seal) also. 

Alright so I have not finished pulling the entire transmission off just yet, i ran out of time yesterday and will have to start back on it again Friday night. 

I really appreciate your time to answer my questions greatly greatly appreciated. I have been stressing over this car problem for a while i need to get it fixed and working asap before the end of the month when my school starts i will need it because it will be my only transportation for now. 

Do you know the proper term used for the (Front Seal)? Also one more question.. Would this whole problem cause the transmission not to go into certain gears for example reverse or properly switch into correct gears from 1-5 in order, because when i first drove it the previous owner told me it does NOT go into reverse. So I am wondering if it has anything to do with being low on transmission fluid from the leak and the Transmission computer can detect that and its throwing off the gears? does that make sense? please let me know what you think ? I will pull off transmission this weekend and hopefully find that seal to be damaged! 

one more thing would you happen to have a picture of what that front seal issue looks like so i have an idea of what to look for exactly . 

Thank you very much in advance!!!

Good Afternoon every one!  I recently bought a 2001 Porsche Boxster tiptronic with a tranni problem.

I have a leak of tranni fluid coming straight down from torq converter area and where engine and tranni connect.. how would i know if i need a new torq converter of if its the SEAL TO THE FRONT TRANSFER CASE? I recently just did a tranni flush on it new gasket new filter and all. so when i was pumping new atf into pan i then went to move gears around as ordered then once i put about 4 quarts i noticed it pouring out of front area of the tranni. also when i took the pan off and filter it had melted black plastic that must have melted from the wires under tranni pan area . well anyways it was melted and sucked into filter then it was hardened into a hard rock plastic.  so filter was clogged pretty good with that although wires look good still.  so anyways i need to know where i can find the front seal to the transfer case does any one have a picture of that so i can know what im looking for. also how do i know if its the torq converter bad>? would it leak like that everytime gear goes into drive???? Please help!!! thanks in advance. il post up pics of it all later when i can
