Default 2000 Boxter-Check engine light problem
Hi,

I have a 2000 Boxter. The check engine light comes on with code PO455 which is "Evaporative Emission Control system leak detected(gross leak). I tried refilling the gas tank to full and making sure the gas cap is tight.

Does anyone know how to fix or what the actual problem might be?

Thanks,

WC

May need a new gas cap, maybe the seal is shot? Cheapest place to start.
