BOXSTER HAUS
July 2026 (selection)
2003 Porsche 911 996.2 4S, Engine 3.6, 85,467 km.
Tiptronic. Owner: Roger T
Brief: Inspection, full service, including engine flush
Low-km 996 models are quite rare, particularly the 4S. Generally in lovely condition.
Servicing was due. The usual Liqui Moly service. Great result. Further work required: Tiptronic service (we were not able to do it on the day); future work required, i.e brakes and badly leaking CV shafts.
2003 Porsche Boxster 986.2 Engine 2.7, 101,000km
Tiptronic. Owner: Lawrence
Brief: We previously fitted a LH window regulator and front bump stops for Lawrence. We were very impressed with how the Boxster drove, particularly after we rebuilt the top mount bearings. The steering was softened, a very good result.
On the previous visit, we noticed the front discs and brake pads required replacing. Lawrence, being Lawrence, everything had to be right. We welcomed that. New German Sebro discs, Textar pads and OE-match sensors. Job done.
2017 Porsche 991.2 GTS Engine: 3.0 Turbo
PDK, owner: Andrew & Kirsten. 40,938km
Brief: Full Service!
We have been looking forward to servicing the GTS. A genuine rocket ship, docile and easy to drive. As Andrew notes, the 991 has a large back end! 992 models are even bigger.
Not the easiest of models to work on. Simply changing the air filter requires removing the bar and many peripheral parts. One has to be careful with plastic connectors and vacuum lines, which are fragile.
The next task will be the front brake pads. Andrew & Kirsten track their respective Porsches. They do not baby them; they are driven hard but meticulously maintained. Now by Boxster Haus! Humbled, as always, appreciate the support.
