73K Preventative Maintainance?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I figured I'd post this since I keep reading things about "common" problems occurring on the Boxster S. I'm looking for ideas of things I should consider replacing given I bought my 986 used, and she has 73K on her now. I've already checked and/or done the following:

1) Replaced Transmission with a brand new Trans

2) Replaced all 4 Tires - 18" Pirelli P-Zero Nero's M/S - OEM Tires

3) Replaced Clutch with a brand new Clutch Kit

4) Checked Belt for wear and tear... looks brand new

5) Checked AOS, and replacing as a precausionary item

6) Replaced Coolant Resovouir Tank sensor

Just trying to figure out anything I can do as a precausionary to running into "bigger" problems down the road. Don't really want to end up having her crash and burn to a point I have to tow ;)

Appreciate the help!

CHECK:

power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant hoses, body drains for debris!

SHOULD'VE BEEN CHANGED

oil,pollen,air,fuel filter

spark plug

Any recommendation on the spark plugs, fuel filter, etc I should use? I'm ordering parts from Pelican today. She's sitting in my garage already in "maintainence" mode! :)

Oh and fyi, not that it really matters because I'm replacing it anyways, but where the heck is the Part # on the AOS? Also, Pelcian lists the "J-tube" as Part # 996-107-145-06-M100, however, says it's for Boxster 1997-99. Will this work on my 2000 Boxster S ?

Thanks!

Wow, SunCoast is awesome! WAY cheaper than any other parts shops I've ordered from in the past. THE AOS was only $83 compared to Pelican's $118. And New spark plugs only cost be $43.

Got everything you guys recommended ordered, and they said they're shipping today! ;) Can't wait to get to work on nursing my baby! ;)

Thanks!
