  1. I feel for you. I had my engine go out on my 1998 Boxster with only 22,100 miles last Aug. PNA said the same thing in a letter when I asked for help toward a new engine. They turn a blind eye and act like nothing is wrong, yet there are numerous accounts of engine failures with very low miles. I wound up putting a 3.4L 996 engine to give me more horsepower and a more spirited drive. Hope things work out for you.
  2. Mine went out in Aug 2007. Had 22,100 miles and was a 1998. Needless to say, PNA denied their was a problem and refused to help out with any type of financial support. The Nov 2007 issue of Road and Track I think, talks about the Boxster and it's known engine problems. They even said tha the "CEL" check engine light actually means "Change Engine Light" because so many engine failures were seen in the early models. I went ahead and wound up putting a 3.4 996 engine in there and had it for 2 months and it's running fine with the 1/3 gain in HP. If ever someone was able to get a lawsuit going, count me in. It's ridiculous that the engine can't even make it to it's 1st scheduled maintanence of 30k miles.
