hi everyone!
I bought a 99 boxster with 35K on it 6 weeks ago. I was out of town for a month and came back 2 days ago. when I came back SO much smoke came out of the exhaust. I researched on this site and it seems that it happens often when the car has been sitting for a while.
I drove it today and there was this really bad squealing noise basically while being in first or second gear. It's not necessarly while Im on the clutch. Seems like it happens while stiring at low speed...Its a little embrassing AND I freaking out!
I stopped by the dealer but they told me they will have to remove the transmission and some other stuff in order to access and change the wheel bearing which is will come up to $1000 since labor is $112!
And they dont even know if that's the problem!!! Ciuld you guys tell me if you had similar experiences?
If anyone knows a good porsche mecanic around st louis, MO PLEASE let me know!
PLEASE reply as soon as possible, I will be checking! Vanessa
