My dealer did the inspection on their own before listing the car. It was comprehensive and included compression and leakdown on the engine.

The dealer CPO warranty added 60k miles, so it would have expired at 97k miles. I would never put that many miles on it, though, given how much I drive the car. I ended up passing on the warranty.

The Porsche dealer isn’t using Fidelity (I’m still waiting on details). I plugged my VIN and info into the Steingold Volvo link and got a $6421 quote (less $200 rennlist discount).

I’m buying a 2014 Carrera S w 38,000 miles from a Porsche dealer. The dealer did a full CPO inspection with compression/leakdown (passed) and did the full 40k service ($6700 for all inspections and...

I can’t seem to get a good grip on it. I don’t want to cut the wire in case I need to drive it to the shop to have them do it.

Crank Position Sensor Stuck/Seized

I’m replacing a faulty CPS on a 2002 C4S. The CPS is stuck and won’t budge. I have been soaking it with PB Blaster for a couple days. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

Shop can’t get it in for 10 days. Is a 2002 Carrera 4S the same install as the video? I have a 4 post lift (mainly for storage) and this looks doable, assuming it’s not more difficult on a 2002 vs...

Somewhat misleading title maybe. My 2002 Carrera 4S has died a couple of times while I’m driving recently. It would restart immediately afterward (although sometimes it took a while to crank). The...

I think the shop did. I’ve been under there and didn’t see anything obvious. But the noise doesn’t change regardless if the car is in gear or coasting in neutral. What should I look for?

I have this same problem. My mechanic checked everything but didn’t find any problems. Like someone said previously, I seem to feel it in the steering wheel and even the clutch pedal for some reason.
