  1. T man: Further to the burnt rubber smell, I believe it to be the smell of nice warm clutch plates. When you turn off the engine after a good run down the road, the hot engine and transmission vent up through the rear wheel wells. There is only one place for the hot smells to come up when the engine is turned off. I've come to believe this is a normal Boxster smell, and it is far nicer than any 911. Regards, Metron
  2. Secuuda; I posted this a few weeks ago on Babblers Forum and here it is again. I don't have pictures, but the text is carefully worded. It's a 30 minute job. Follow the directions in the owners manual regarding access to the top of the engine. Open the top about 1 to 2 feet and remove the ignition key for safety. Lift up and secure the rear window with the velcro strap. Pop out the ball shaped fasteners held in place with stainless wire. Remove the upper storage compartment. Remove the rubber backed carpet to expose the aluminum engine cover. Remove the engine cover. Here is my posting "Well I just finished replacing the engine air filter P/N 987-110-133-00 in my 2006 Boxter, and have some notes to post. First of all there is little or no maintenance information on any 2005 and up (Model 987) on the web. Most sites specialize in the earlier 986. The air box on the 2006 is still on the left side of the engine. The curved black plastic air filter cover is held in place by 2 small phillips screws. Remove these and lift up on the cover. Once the cover is off, the filter is visible. The front (forward) end of the air filter is held in place by another small phillips screw. The back end of the filter is press fitted into the air box housing. Remove this screw and gently pull and wiggle the filter straight forward to the front of the car. Tilt up and remove the filter. On the forward part of the filter there is a black plastic hanger attached with a central screw. Clean this and attach on the new filter. Get the shop vac and clean out the whole air box. The new filter can then go in. Once in place I had to firmly (and I mean firmly) pull the filter assembly rearward until I could feel it slip into place. (You do this while laying over the trunk with a blanket over the paint) Put the filter cover back on and the job is finished. Now, go get a beer and pat yourself on the back for saving hundreds of dollars. The whole job takes about 20 minutes. I'm assuming you already know how to remove the engine compartment lid and rubber backed carpeting. This is clearly outlined in the owners manual. Good luck!"
