How to Fix White Smoke on the Porsche Boxster 986

How to Fix White Smoke on the Porsche Boxster 986

The air oil separator or AOS is a common failure part that leads to white smoke coming out of the exhaust when you first start your car. Fortunately, it’s a relatively easy and cheap repair.

In addition to the white smoke, symptoms may include a check engine light with codes P1128 and P1130. This is how I solved the problem on my 2000 Porsche Boxster S. For my Boxster, this was part number 99610702304.

Gadi M says:

thank you, i will definitely check it in the morning again ,i felt that the tube that goes from the oil separator to the truttle body wasn't so tight ,but didn't tought it might be it

Gadi M says:
