This video will show you how to put your Porsche Boxster into “Service Position”. This means the engine cover is removed to give you access to the engine. It is often required in order to perform service on the vehicle. You will see that it is VERY easy to do yourself and it doesn’t even require any tools!

Your videos have been extremely helpful. I feel more confident working on the boxer. I just picked up now.
Can you enter into service position if the top is stock closed?
Thanks! great helpful video I subscribed.
I have a 2021 911 Carrera S, and was considering buying a Boxster. Great video and helpful in more ways than one. Videos like this convinced me NOT to buy a Boxster. I instead satisfied my roadster craving with a 2023 BMW Z4 instead. Sure the Boxster is dynamically superior to the Z4, but I decided in favor of a more traditional roadster with a front engine layout.
Excellent video though and I thank you for it.
Great video. I have a glass rear panel so the top needs removing to get to the engine. The only thing is that there are a number of electrical cables attached to the roof that I'm not sure how to remove
no cruise on boxters?
Great video and it helped me get to my starter. Your channel is great.
I drive a 02 Porsche Boxster type S with 80k miles.
I love your video's and have purchased several of the items you have, Joe Toth Ducktail, your tail lights, and have put an Xtreme motorcars full body kit on it, and wrapped it in blue chrome and carbon fiber as I own two wrap shops in Michigan. I'd like to send you a few pics of it but need an email address. Your video's are really helpful, much appreciated!
