What is the acceptable price of Porsche motoring.

[ajpearson]

Can i count the cost of the last vehicle I was in, about £10000 per hour.

I did a three hour mission last week, cost £95000, now thats expensive running costs

. Says he about to get his A8 plugged into Jeff's VAG unit to figure out why the windscreen wipers won;t work. Fuses are all OK, wipers seem free, but just stopped working

oh and on the running of a Porsche, last one I had was a 997 cabriolet , I got it handy money  but got the biggest servicing bill Ive  ever had on any car and was done at mates rates ! I sold mine as after reading the forums I was concerned at some of the bills I was reading about , IMS failures are very common and engine basically grenades without warning        and other reason I sold was car was as dull as dishwater to drive        plus side is I run it over summer and made a few quid on it so not all bad       

 

 

edited to say GEN 2 cars are apparently fine and dont suffer , same with the GT and turbo cars . so lesson is here if you gonna buy a Porsche buy a fast one

You sure make a great cup of coffee Jeff. Thought I had died and gone to heaven when biscuits came out

Thanks for scan. Just need to find out where they have hidden wiper control module.

Now then Jeff, My A6 has a knock from the o/s/f suspension. Sounds like a worn mounting on the wishbone or tie bar. Had a look with a big screwdriver but only the chassis end of the tie bar was showing any movement but it looks OK,

 

Any ideas?

When you come over to Sheffield Norman bring it up for a look. At least you'll get a decent cup of coffee and biscuits :D

Check the wheel nuts

[Norman Verona]

John, I've had the wheel off to check the suspension joints. 

 

I do have a knock which I will get into one of my customers in Sheffield next week to look at. I suspect it's something that experience will solve.

 

I was only jesting because of the post before... 

[JeffC]
