Well ... it made it to my garage from the street. While I am busy completing normal maintenance items, I have been researching common issues for this model year. The previous owner said something about a possible Variocam solenoid and it has misfires on bank 1. Since I did not want to drive it out on the road yet, I was learning about the flat six and how it was designed. Definitely different from the standard V6. As you can see parts were robbed for other vehicles so I made a list of everything that needed to be replaced and another for things I would like to shine up a little. Learned very quick that parts can be overpriced a little. Just finished a 2009 S550 project and even though Mercedes can be pricey ... Porsche has them beat.
