Anyone thinking of buying the genuine Porsche charger should check first if it will work on their car.

Just had my car two weeks (2003 2.7 Tiptronic) checked over buy local independent specialist and no problems apart from the need for a wheel alignment.

Keep Boxing on

All water cooled Porsches were delivered from the factory with always hot cigarette lighter sockets to facilitate the use of battery maintainers. If yours is not always hot, it is because someone altered it, it did not come that way.
