  1. Once you get farmer to approve the repair Rapid will get you taken care of. It might take a little bit because you will need a some new parts. Make sure you request only NEW factory parts. Good luck and I hope everything works out.
  2. Where are you getting it repaired? I used Radpid Body Works (281-350-8200) in Spring. Only Porsche certified replace facility around. They did a very good job. In Texas you get to pick you repair facility don't let the insurance company push you around.
  3. Do forget a large opening drain pan the will hold 8 plus qts. Walmart sell a 10 qts for close to $7 bucks.
  4. You want more HP for FREE??? Then lose weight. Pull out everything you don't need or step up to a turbo.
  5. Have you tried inserting the battery backwards?? I have read that sometimes works with key problems.
  6. You can also just remove the vacuum hoses. Then they will stay open.
  7. Does becker make the for the PCM/Nav too? I need a new set.
  8. I had a scratch removed by a pro once. The results sucked. The view was always wavy in that spot.
  9. I have had great service from David Moore at Porsche of North Houston 281-944-2115. I live on the south side of Houston and I will drive the 45 min to get to Porsche of North Houston every time.
  10. I use 93 and mine is a daily driver. I usually get 17MPG city driving. I do hit triples at least once a week.
  11. PSE was an option on the 2004 40th edition. Mine does not have it.
  12. You need to drive the car after you add the sta-bil to the gas. You need to get the sta-bil in the fuel lines and injectors for it to do it's full job.
  13. Is the button all the way up when you are trying to lock it? You just might have some goo down in the push button area that is keeping it from poping back up. I would get the button working first before you try replacing it. Might spray a little windex or 409 cleaner on it and see if it clears up.
  14. The microswitch has nothing to do with the lid not staying closed. The microswitch is for the alarm and the alarm only. There must be something wrong with the latch mechanism. Might look here for help.
  15. Mythbusters said must cars will not let you go from drive to park at speed. So I would bet Porsche would want to keep you from doing this too.
  16. Carfax Quote- The owner will be crushed to let this one go. :P
  17. I have got a 40th. I just cleaned some "tar" spot on my rims with acetone and did not have any issues. I have also use the mothers power ball and polish and it did an OK job.
  18. treadware rating is also MFG specific. One companies 200 might be another 300.
  19. Care to elaborate on that? I will. How many post do you see the say my _________ runs perfect. Not one problem ever. All cars for the most part are trouble free. Are there some bad ones out there sure. Most people come to these forums to look for help or ideas about solving problems. So you will see a lot more negetive post then positive. So you have to look at the whole picture. How many people bought said model car, how many of those people found this forum, how many of those people even have access to the internet. I know this may not answer your question but you have to weight all of this when you do get an answer.
  20. the injectors were swapped, same result... maybe the vario-cam system could be damaged but can it be only for one cylinder? Yes it can be just one cyclinder. I had that same problem. Thank God it was covered under warranty. Some will say a fresh oil change might lossen it up. I heard there are special tools need to keep the cams in place.
  21. Swap the coil pack with antoher cyclinder. If it follows then you found your problem.
