What has this water container got to do with my Porsche Boxster?
Please read on!
(Yea, even my water container is yellow in color, LOL)
If you may recall in my last few posts, I mentioned a few times about my Porsche doing "something" at Porsche QAF? Well, today I will let you know what that something is! I will keep the story short and quick to read cause I don't want to bored the sh*t out of you.
Ok, here goes the story.......
A month ago, I brought along my water container(picture at top of the page) above to work. I had it placed on the footwell of the passenger seat. While I was doing a right-turn at Kiulap, the water container tip over and the cover opened up and 90% of my drinking water spilled out to the passenger floor!!!

So I quickly zoom to my Kiulap shop and took out a towel to have the carpet clean up. When I got out of the car, the car started to go berserk.
I know by then worst had happened, my guess would be electrical or cable problems beneath the passenger seat.
Porsche Boxster, 968 and 911
Fearing for the worst, I quickly drove to QAF to have the car checked by the Porsche specialists. Luckily at that time, there were two Germans from Porsche AG on duty to train the Porsche staff. They took out my passenger seat and mentioned to me that there are several Control Units underneath the passenger seat. My body just went numb when they mentioned that to me. I said to myself this is going to be a costly stupid mistake I had ever done on my car.....
The guys at Porsche asked me to leave the car in the workshop so they can find out what damaged had been done by the water. So I just left car with the trusty people from Porsche workshop and of course at that time I am preparing for more worst news to come.
The next day, I popped into the Porsche workshop again and speak to one of the service person. He kindly said to me that there are four control units affected by the water. Two control units they managed to save but the other 2 control units weren't that lucky. I was told it needed to be replaced. The price for the control units? $3000 for both and the worst news keeps on coming as they do not have stock and I needed to wait 3 weeks for it to be imported from Germany. I was told to drive the car home instead of leaving it in the workshop.
So there you go with the BOXSTER S story, I had been waiting for the parts for almost four weeks. Last few days, I called and checked that the parts had arrived. So I dropped by BOXSTER S to the workshop last Thursday. At this moment, I am still awaiting for my car, we shall see how the news goes.....
The jammed spoiler!

- Rear LED tail lamp started to blink like its Christmas Season in March!!!
- The spoiler started to go up and down for no apparent reason!!!
- The roof auto opened up with my latch still locked!!!
