    ----Its like seeing your old 112 lb girlfriend across the room at your high school reunion. She's that has filled out that dress just right, she's more confident, bold, & commands most respect than ever. You married her & now everyone else wishes they could get a ride...... Aren't you glad you chose her over any other girl 30 years ago. PORSCHE

    After a dead battery, the end limit positions must be relearned. Can be done with the switch, I just forget what the actual procedure was. Sorry. Check your owners manual. I'm sure its in there.

    "scrunchy grinding noise" & "noise like gravel has been placed in the track" These noises are window regulators on their way out. Typically more noticable when windows are going down. But a "very loud screaching noise" Without hearing it, I dont' know if that is a typicall faulty window regulator noise. It sucks trying to descibe noises to people doesn't it?

    I agree with Loren. This is kind of a difficult problem to diag. by yourself. Get your car to a trusted Porsche dealer. good luck!

    First off getting a second opinion is always a good idea. Especially from your dealer. 2001 "seemed" to be the year that cracked cyl. walls were most common. Spark plug condition is an excellent way off diagnosing running conditions. Especially coolant in the cyl. Borescoping the cyl is a good idea but may be difficult to see a crack b/c the crack will "shrink" when the motor is cold & get larger when motor is hot. And you have to have access to one. If you do have a cracked wall the reason you're getting smoke on start up is: -After shutting down the car when hot, there is still pressure in the coolant system. This pressure bleeds into the cracked cyl. Staying there until getting burnt off at your next start. -When driving car, the combustion is greater than the coolant pressure & combustion will enter the coolant system. When this happens typically you'll get excessive dampness from around the coolant bottle. Check: -white smoke from tail pipes while driving -continous coolant consumption with no visible external leaks. -excessive dampness around coolant cap/bleeder (not always an indication of a cracked wall) -bore scoping cyl. -pressure testing system

    With key off oil pressure gauge should read zero. Turn the key on, engine off. Oil pressure gauge should still read zero. If gauge reads pressure, oil pressure sensor is faulty. Also check for loose / corroded sensor connections.
