  1. If you remove the air hose from in front of the air mass meter (so it is still able to measure the incoming air into the engine) and with the car at idle block off the hose with something like a hardback book then this should strangle the engine of all air, and so it will stall, unless there is an air leak somewhere and the engine is able to suck in unmetered air through the leak. If this is the case lets hope is squeals and hisses so you can trace the leak. If there are no leaks the a brand new air mass meter sounds like the way to go. It would be great if you could delete the engine adaption values stored in the engine ecu when replacing this air mass sensor, least this will give a better true reading from the outset. Hope this helps.
  2. Thanks folks, up and running. Car is still under warranty but like to know whats what.
  3. Seen it now and done it !!! Hope it doesn't take long to upgrade. Thanks for replying. Gary
  4. With all this talk about engine oils on this forum I would like to see the list of approved oils for the porsche engines. I see there is such a list but this is on a TSB. I can read the list of TSB's for my 987 Boxster but how do I open the TSB to get the full info contained in there. Is this possible, can anyone help me. Thanks guys. I am a newbie, I have a Guards Red 987 Boxster with just 6k on the clock. I am a professional BMW technician by trade so know a few things on these but not much on the Porsche range, appart from how good they are. Can anyone help me ?
  5. Does anyone know a good all round diagnosis tool for the 987 Boxster and where to get hold of one? Much appreciate your replies. Gary.
