  1. I did end up going to ROCS for my service work. Rich did a good job.

    What impressed me so much was that while I was in there a lady came in because the steering was a bit loose on her car. Rich took the time to show her exactly what the problem was, explaining it in a clear and useful way.

    He definately took the time to make sure she understood exactly what was wrong with the car.

  2. I have a 06 Titanium S with stock rims and Scorpion tires. I've had the tires for almost two years now, putting 35K miles on them.

    For the last 6-8 months my front right tire has been slowly loosing air. I fill it up in the summer every 2 weeks or so but I find myself filling it more often in the cold weather (every 3-4 days). My local indy has a dunk tank and says that the rim is bad. I didn't hit anything, it just won't hold the bead seal. He has tried to 'fix' it twice already.

    Is this common? Any suggestions?

    Does anyone recommend using the Porsche tire sealer as a long term solution?

    Thanks!!

  3. Attached please find a picture of the back of my headlight. A couple of questions, per the picture:

    A - Is this one of the bolts being refered to as coming loose sometimes? Is the other bolt directly on the other side?

    B - Has anyone ever broken this connector? I broke mine but ended up using a wire tie to hold the bundle in place.

    B - What is the part number / cost for this bracket piece?

    C - Is this connector ever the problem or is it always D?

  4. Well I got the car back from the dealer. Considering the previous repair, they picked up the towing cost as well as splitting the labor. Total came out to $400.

    Although they can't say with 100% certainty that it is fixed, their service manager drove it back and forth from home for almost 2 weeks putting 500 miles on my car. It didn't fail once while he had it.

    They say that the drain cowl was clogged and that there was a control box / wires that appeared to get wet. Some of the wires were slightly corroded. They cleared the drain and re-taped alll the connections after checking them.

    It seems to be OK. But only time will tell.

    All in, this problem has cost me $2,700 :censored:

    Time to cut my losses and sell???

  5. Well the dealer called today and said that they have checked the battery and grounds. That was one of the first things they checked. They are going to hold onto it and have one of their guys drive it to and from work for a few days. I figured why not, I'm not taking it back until I can feel confident that the problem has been rectified.

    Any more thoughts / ideas?

    So sad ... I hate the thought of having to get rid of it because I don't feel confident it won't break down. :(

  6. I suppose I am just wondering how my car could have started and ran fine (** below) before the fuse was replaced?

    Sequence:

    Clunk while driving, errors. Stopped car would not restart (multiple errors)

    ** Started car 2 hours later and got home without issues or errors

    Tried to start again and errors..no start. Towed to dealership

    ** Started at dealership and drove off flatbed. Didn't immediately start for repair tech.

    Dealer replaced parts (fuse / controller)

    Drove home and good for 4 days

    Dead again - towed to delaer

    Starts and runs fine at dealer

    No error codes

    ???
