Bang

It's been a very long time since I worked on Porsches. I will need to look at some service lit. My buddy said something about one shaft is driven and it drives the other. idk.

The guy who made the cable comment is just one of the monkeys, no disrespect intended.

Dave, the owner knows his stuff, as do his the other mechanics. He has a 5 star shop and has 100K invested in in diagnostic and mentioned $12K/yr subscription (this must be PIWIS). I trust him.

I took the car to him evaluate with the intent of doing IMSB, but he said he did not recommend it, that the car sounded fine and was in great shape. They did replace the engine mounts and the plugs and one tube was leaking.

I'll know Monday.

Thanks for your feedback.

btw can someone explain how i can list my cars in the message box?
thx
