repair your porsche,just need this tool.3 years experience

I've bought my Porsche Boxster for 3 years.during the time,of course,the car got broken.and we know that it is very expensive,if you goto the S store.so i usually,i like looking for new and useful tools for Porsche.one of these tools called Autocom CDP Pro Compact Diagnostic is very helpful.it can read or clear the fault codes conveniently and quickly.even more activations of components, adjustments and so on.so this is what i recommend.if you have some useful tools,don't forget to tell me. :dance:

Is this tool from Nigeria by any chance? And someone will be set free if we buy one?

None of you guys are being too helpful.

I've never heard of the diagnostic system mention by OP, but perhaps try googling or searching for "durametric". It is not too terribly expensive, or perhaps you can try buying a PIWIS scanner ($2000).

If you need to reset fault codes, you can go into just about any auto shop and ask to borrow one of their OBD scanners.

Hope that helps!

I don't know where he's from, but I wish he'd quit spamming...

Try a ball-peen hammer on your parietal lobe, I'll bet it will work just super!

Wait a minute. Did you read his "car got broken" I have heard that in another scam/spam. The spams ads are sometimes so funny.

Why dont you know that following the top link on Google for the Nigerian wonder fixer takes you to a site that tries to put harmful software on to your computer. And he seemed so nice too....

I love playing with the scammers. I went back and forth with one on craiglist one time. When he asked me for my personal info. I gave him the direct number to the FBI internet fraud dept. There's a site in the uk that is a group of guys who do nothing but scam the scammers. It's hilarious!!

Good that absolves me from my prick comment, watching someone you love die is an incredible groin kick that spills out some places, like internets.
