AOS Oil / air separator. Porsche Boxster 986 2003>>  ❭  99610702602

Oil / air separator.
Engine oil separator also known as a crankcase vent valve or AOS. It functions as part of the engine’s positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system, managing and separating blow-by gases and oil vapour to help maintain engine performance and emissions compliance.

Fits:
Porsche Boxster 986 2003 - 2004
Porsche Boxster 987.1 2005 - 2008
Porsche Cayman 987C.1 2005 - 2008

Diagram Ref No 1.

The AOS is basically a small diaphragm distillery which distills the minute amounts of oil mist in the crankcase, liquifies it and sends it back to the crankcase. The "clean" air is now sent into the air intake (after the throttle body) to be burned off by the engine.

When the AOS starts to fail it cannot separate all of the oil out of the mist and some liquid oil is sent to the air intake.

A few drops of oil is enough to generate the GREAT SMOKE BOMB for which our cars are famous for.
A big smoke bomb once in a while is completely normal, due to the architecture of the flat-6 engine, which may let a drop of oil flow into one of the combustion chambers sporadically.
