Strange as it sounds, I prefer the old style police lights. The new LED ones are practically seizure inducing.

The Wizzard did absolutely nothing wrong! Porsche and BMW are cutting corners in production by using Glue, Plastic, and cheap Rubber hoses in their engines. They claim these cheaper materials are just as good and they weigh less than metal fasteners, aluminum, and industrial threaded rubber. They are wrong on all claims. The weight difference with using these cheaper materials can only be weight in ounces not pounds.

[@CleanSC]

This is a way of life with the Germans. How about that infamous crossover pipe in the BMW N62 V8's? If that isn't a giant middle finger to mechanics and owners, I dunno what is. $7k to $9k fix at the dealer for a less than $1 seal that goes bad. LOL. FFS there's no need for this. NONE. The cooling systems on all these cars are complete shit. Same goes for VW. Most of these repairs cost more than the car is worth.

@@Sophiechic The bottom line is that shit like this hurts resale and reputation. That affects sales to a certain degree. However, it's a hit they are willing to take. The "you gotta play to play" mentality. That's entirely stupid. It's an excuse that overpaying for a substandard product is ok if you're rich. Fuck that.

And taking out the engine in a 911 is not difficult. They are designed to be dropped.

[@j_freed]

Flat tire? Bad shock? Broken front signal light?

[@markvanderwel7182]

He talks about it if it is a big thing to take out the engine but at racing circuits they do it within one day. They are designed to take it out and work on it and all around and putting it back in. The 3000 usd is if a lot of small parts need to be replaced. Even then. It's not a week of labour.

[@valveoverlord7243]

Yeah, this is weird. Hi, I'm Haven, a Porsche mechanic. You can do a lot without removing the engine. All the service Items are accessible. You can replace all the accessories without removing the engine. The A/c compressor is tough, but not impossible if you loosen the engine mounts. Fortunately, when you do need to remove it, a good Porsche mechanic remove it, repair what's needed, and reinstall in a nice easy going 8hr shift. If I'm trying to bust my ass to get it back on the track, more like 6hrs. Modern 911s are very well designed.

[@valveoverlord7243]
