| Message: | 2 days ago I was driving around 30mph and without warning my 02 Boxster 2.7 that has 27K miles made a weird noise and shut down. I tried to restart the car and the engine would knock but would not remain running. I have recently bought the car from a good friend so I know that the car was taken care of. I had it towed to the local dealer who indicated that a replacement engine was needed. The dealer said without opening up the engine they could not determine exactly the cause of the engine failure. But they could tell me the following There was small pieces of metal within the oil filter casing The Bank 1 Oil Scavenge Pump was seized The Bank 1 Cam Sprocket had failed The Bank 1 Cam Chain had failed Does anyone know how all this damage could happen without warning and a matter of seconds? Does this sound like the intermediate shaft failure problem that is well documented? If so, has anyone been able to get PCNA to pay for a new engine even out of warranty. Anyone have this happen to them and have gotten Porsche NA to pay for a new engine even if you are out of warranty. I am looking at a 15K bill right now. | ||||
