Yes.
that is the abs operating. If you were on dry pavement and not
slipping, then the wheel sensors are probably dirty.

Cleaning the front sensors didn't help, and the overvoltage

I've always been a fan of shooting brakes, and this one looks pretty
good. I've always thought of a real shooting brake having only two
passenger doors, but I guess over the years, various definitions have been
expanded a bit. We have 4 door coupes now, so what can I say. I think the

I knew of the existence of the 924S, but never have seen one in person or
even advertised for sale. I've seen more than one article online and in
magazines lately saying that the market for front-engine Porsches is about
as low as it can go---might be a good buy.
I'm fed up with the jarring ride when driving over rough pavement in my 1983
300TD. I replaced both air cells (accumulator spheres) with one new and one
used one a couple years ago. I never checked or tested the used one before
having it installed.
My intent is to R/R solely the used one.
Boo booed my wifes new 300D :(.

You said the evaporator is particularly cold, but no real
cooling going on? I'd say the expansion valve is clogged.
Wherever there's a too-large restriction, immediately downstream

even the receiver/drier.

1. Do they run in series or parallel? In other words, will one bad
accumulator ruin the ride as if there were TWO bad ones?
Half as bad. The sides are independent. Go over a single-side
bump, alternately, to see if it's worse on one side.

Any way to disconnect this and turn off the ABS light? Other than
black tape or pulling the instrument cluster to remove the bulb that
is.
Que? Doesn't the ABS brain run the ABS light? Unplug
the brain, and it's done. On the 126, it's trivial.

I rather dis-like the hidden engine - I expect to see something that I can
deal with when I open the hood -- not yet another obstacle to why I opened
the hood. I suppose it does raise the flat rate for everything done under
the hood though - mechanics might like it.
I don't like the swoopy lines
