JeffC Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 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...
