$2,000 for a vacuum leak? What's that about? I don't recall seeing you post about that in the past several months. Do tell!  |
Emissions was coming up, and I needed to clear the CEL in order to pass, so I took it into the shop. I haven't actually posted about a lot of the problems I've been getting with the car. Perhaps I'll do that in the future.
It was $330 (3 hours of $110 labor) for my mechanic to go in and see what the problem was. Apparently, my vacuum resevoir (993 110 140 03) wasn't holding any vacuum. Along the way, we also replaced the change over valve (996 605 123 01) injection check (993 113 250 03) and air injection valve (993 113 245 01).
I live in a small college town in Arizona called Tucson, where all the places that service Porsches have bad reviews. So, in order to circumvent that, I drive up to Scottsdale (not a problem since I have family nearby) to a mechanic who has stellar reviews. They're very nice and personable, but perhaps I'm getting ripped off?
