I have an 02 Boxster S that doesn’t want to go all the way into park. As far as the I can tell the car is actually in park. Won’t roll away, however I can see on the dash it “thinks” it’s in reverse and won’t give me the key. Have to put it in neutral to start. Car has not been driven much in the last 2 years.

I have some new information on this situation and none of it is good. Since my last post I sent the oil in for analysis. Comments were high levels copper, lead, and tin. Iron is also on the high side. Also found is sodium, marker for antifreeze. Blackstone labs states antifreeze in oil and overheat could be related to poor bering wear.

From a technical perspective, so I understand better when it counts, what happened inside the engine to have caused the failure between connecting rod and piston? This is what is suspected to be wrong. I have read loosing a water pump is bad, but it's not always the case in pump failure to loose all coolant.

I bought an 02 boxster S last fall. I had always wanted one. The right deal came along and I jumped at the chance to own it. Took it to the dealer for a key, no big deal. They said the car looked nice made some suggestions, replace cv boots, mentioned some minor oil leaks. Few months went by and I was planning a road trip from Ohio to sunny Florida. Went in to dealer for full inspection, I had pby 02boxsterSfan - Main Forum
