Still struggling with MAF Sensor type issues
Boxsterund914 replied to rprieto's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
As I'm sure you know, sometimes things are not what they seem. I had what I thought were MAF and/or Air Oil Seperator (AOS) issues and they were neither one. The car was blowing a cloud of smoke on start-up and running rough. It turned out that the oil filler hose that goes from the rear trunk wall (hooks on to the oil filler at the coolant reservoir tank and goes to the oil fill point on top of the engine) had cracks in the accordian section of this tube that were not visible. Oil filled fine because the cracks were on the top of this tube. I chased this problem thinking it was a faulty AOS and when I was under there fiddling arouind I must have cracked the oil fill tube all the way through because the next time I added oil it just poured onto the ground. The filler tube was easy to replace and cheap. Car runs perfectly now. I'm not saying that this is your problem, just saying that these problems sometimes need to be chased around. -
I spun into a rather tall curb and bent the drivers side rear suspension. It was a beautiful pirouette until the smack (with wheels locked) into the curb. The rear wheel is toe'd in so hard that the inside of the tire is rubbing on the rear track arm. It looks like the aluminum piece that the lower control arm bolts to is cracked (@ the eccentric mounting point). I was going to check wrecking yards for some of these parts but am unsure as to how to refer to the aluminum piece that the lower suspension arm bolts to. Can anyone help me with parts listings/pictures, etc. ?

I just posted this on the Rennlist Boxster forum awhile ago. This happened to me yesterday!
