Boxster S Engine Failure at 20K miles

[scottrel]

Has anyone experienced this? I was coming home Friday night from work, I got to within 1/4 mile of the house and I heard a funny tinny rattling coming from underneath the car. I immediately stopped the car because it sounded like the exhaust had fallen off! I couldn't see anything beneath the car so restarted the engine. The noise was still there so I switched the engine off again. I again looked underneath the car, this time oil was pissing out of the engine. The car has only done 20K miles and is just three years old and has a full AFN service history. To make things worse I have only owned the car 2 weeks (bought privately). Anyone got any ideas what I can do (Apart from cry!)

Get your car recovered to your local OPC, or the preferably the OPC that has serviced the car to date, and see what they say.

Have look at this recent thread:

The owner of a similar aged porsche with identical mileage to yours has just had an engine problem fixed free of charge by Porsche.
