So I went to take the car to momentum motorworks in Birmingham they specialize in Porsche and BMW. I made it about halfway there and the car quit on the interstate. It had a serious decrease in power and the check ingine light started flashing. When it started flashing the car would run ok then as soon as it turned solid it would loose power and barely move! So I pulled off the road and called a rollback and got them to take it on up there. So the guy calls me a couple of hours later and tells me my oil seprator is bad and it was going to be $405 parts and labor to replace it and that it wasn't a 100% guarantee fix. I was very currious. Am I getting ripped? I've never herd of an "oil seperator" does Antony know anything about this thing??? Is it the same thing as the AOS?
