funny, my GFs battery went bad today, she called dealer to see how much for a new one, they said $550 installed. they said they can even come to her house and change it for her but that wold cost another 200 bux, even though shes like 20 mins fromt he dealership, lol

all this dealer nonsense is pissing me off, taking advantage of people like that

Actually I looked at my bill and it was $250.00. If you can tell me how I can change the plugs without the service manual, by all means please do explain. I know it involves removing the intake manifold and all that other crap that is on top of it. When I installed my True-Flow intake I noticed the spark plugs were not in plain view where I could change them easily. I need one of those Bentley manuals for our Boxsters.

Plugs are changed from the BOTTOM of the car. I read it in my Bentley manual. Also, a poster out here (forget his name) has a nice FAQ/Maintenance guide on a website with pictures, tool requirements and time estimates..

That sounds worth finding again. If anyone can tell me which tread it was posted in, just let me know.
