What's this cable?

I've finally gotten time over the summer and fall to get my '89 C4 back on the road. After taking it for a few runs I noticed a wire hanging down near the right rear wheel. On closer inspection it is...

I think they've gone from Teutonic to Arthurian

(Remember Merlin "aged" backwards) We'll be going from 997 -> 991 -> 985 -> 979 -> ...

After 15 generations we'll be back at 901!!!:rockon:

I always refill while the engine is running.

Lets you check the level.

The overfull vent is in the tank, not the filler tube so there's no risk (or we'd all have oil in our intakes).

I'm in the same boat

I'm looking at nice 2006 and 2007 S's with less that 10K on the clock, some with less than 5K! I appreciate the folks that bought new and then put it in the garage so I can get it for 60 or 70% of...

Another thing

As one in the market for "the perfect 997" I can tell you it is really soft. I've seen some good, clean cars dropping $1K in advertised price per week. If you want the car make them an offer.

I assume this is the story, Not recent

Count me in,

I'm about to pull the engine to do a complete refresh, so new covers would go nicely (put me down as a possible for uppers too).
