Give the guy a break!!! Do you remember or have you gone back and reviewed his first posts??? I don't care where you are, his repair bills from the shyster mechanic in my opinion are clearly someone taking advantage of him. In there it clearly states the car overheating twice while being repaired by the mechanic. I think he was sold a POS car and then the mechanic took him to the cleaners.

They are saying that they believe your engine needs expensive repairs, which means if they are correct you will have to replace the engine. And with the cost of a Porsche engine being what it is you have two options (unless you are wealthy), find a used engine, or probably your cheapest option is to simply find another car.

Having said all this, this is their judgement reached from what you have told them. I guess if you were extremely lucky you might get by with replacing an engine head.

I really feel bad for you, obviously you have grown up and live in an environment that hasn’t given you the skills needed for car ownership. Nothing wrong with that except the learning curve has been horrible for you. Heck, its painful to watch.

Good Luck!

Sadly the OP's experiences illustrate how vital a PPI by a competent mechanic really is. Sure I feel for the guy; he's had a crappy go of it.from the start. I wouldn't wish that type of hell on anyone.
But I can't be convinced he has made things easier on himself by continuing to drive a car with an obviously damaged engine.

Unfortunately I don't think the OP would recognize a damaged engine. He is still asking how an obvious intermix indicates a problem. In his original post the second time the car overheated the mechanic told him the radiator was plugged and had to be flushed. I'd bet it had intermix then....and the mechanic told him to drive it and report if anything wrong. Man this story is hard to read.
