►Strut replacements are a common suspension repair for all vehicles on the road. The rear struts in a 986 Boxster aren't anything special and have the same general replacement interval as those in passenger cars: anywhere between 60,000 and 80,000 miles. When they wear out, they won't dampen the road forces as much, leading to a floaty, bouncy ride. If left long enough, they can even clunk when driving over bumps. Although the rear struts aren't special, the replacement process is. To remove the rear strut, you'll need to disconnect the toe arm and remove the axle from the hub to swing the kn…

►Replacing the front control arms on your Porsche 986 Boxster is one of the most important jobs you can do to ensure the handling is at its best. Control arms are a crucial link in a vehicle's suspension, connecting the suspension to a vehicle's subframe. The Boxster's arms have bushings and a ball joint, each of which wears out over thousands of miles until it's no longer fit. That typically results in vague steering feel and a loose front-end feeling. Replacing the front control arms on a 986 Boxster is as straightforward as it gets. You'll have to remove a few bolts and a couple of nuts, b…

►The engine air filter is your line of defense against dust, dirt, and other foreign debris sucked in by the engine. As you'd expect, it filters out those contaminants, keeping the intake air free of debris that could hurt the piston or valves. The filter will get dirty over time, and if not replaced, it can choke the engine, reducing power and economy. Luckily, all you need to do is replace the filter to have clean air once again. We recommend replacing the filter every 30,000 miles. In this video, Rusty Herten, FCP Euro's In-House Technician, replaces the engine air filter in a Porsche 986.…

►Ignition coils are a common failure point among many modern European cars. They typically last around 60,000 miles, and when they go, they'll leave you with a weak spark in one cylinder. That's generally enough to cause a misfire. On 996 Carreras and 986 Boxsters, it's common to find them cracked when worn out. Luckily, replacing the ignition coil and spark plugs on a Boxster is very straightforward. Replacing the coils and plugs is largely like any other European car, except for the location. Being under the car makes replacement a bit trickier, but nothing major. Just a few hand tools and…

►The cabin air filter is your line of defense against dust, dirt, and other foreign debris pulled in by the HVAC system. As you'd expect, it filters out those contaminants, keeping the air blown into your face clean. However, the filter will get dirty over time, eventually needing replacement. If not replaced, the dirty filter can begin to give off a musty or outdoorsy smell. Luckily, all you need to do is replace the filter to have clean air once again. We recommend replacing the filter every 30,000 miles. In this video, Rusty Herten, FCP Euro's In-House Technician, replaces the cabin air fi…

►Engine oil changes are the most important service procedure for any car owner. Oil breaks down over thousands of miles, losing its lubricating properties and transforming into a sticky sludge. As such, the engine oil and filter should be replaced every 5,000 miles at most, especially in older engines like Porsche's M96. The M96 engine is already plenty finicky, so change your oil on time at home; the last thing you want to do is give it more issues! In this video, Rusty Herten, FCP Euro's In-House Technician, changes the engine oil and filter on a 986.2 Porsche Boxster. Buy This Kit Here: ht…
