Close to the end of my tolerance to my 2.9 Boxster, 897.2 due to smoke on cold start. I ask this (again) incase anyone can suggest a solution once and for all.
If not, time to move on, TT or SLK, anything with a vertical engine!
History:
Occational heavy oil smelling and large smoke on cold start and today after 2 hours after a good run, less but the same smoke on 'hot' start.
2009 2.9 987.2, Porsche, PCT, Zuffenhaus service history all correct, now 58400 miles.
AOS changed by Zuff a year ago (not sure the old one was broken).
Car runs a dream clean, strong and without flaws.
Parked on the front of the house on flat drive, left to tick over for 20 seconds before switch off.
Last 3 starts I've had the big cloud on start up, never done this before, previous start smoke was random.
Car is not run for 2 mins and switched off, uses no oil, oil level indicator shows full.
I expect to do a north Yorkshire week run soon which will bring the car to it's 60K mile service interval which will be done at Zuffenhaus in about a months time.
I have NEVER seen a Boxster smoke on cold start in person, but mine cannot be the only one?
Any suggestions welcome, just about come to the point where I don't want to use it for fear of a smoke filled start, so pointless having this car.
