The OM617 had been sitting on the hoist, blocking my garage door for the past week. I had tried to use a garbage harbour fright dolly, but it just shattered when the engine was lowered on to it. I made my own out of a few scrap 2x14 and some 2x6. HF got the trashed dolly and I got some spare

It depends on how well it's been maintained. A cheap Porsche is like a cheap Mercedes. All Boxsters have gas engines and the early ones are not especially in demand. This is because for a few more $$s you can get more HP. Do your homework before you start thinking about flipping one.

Yeah I do believe it is Sun Valley. As for having to manually down shift. Doesn't the transmission do that for itself? If it didn't I would have looked at that a long time ago. With my 123's going up a hill if I want to go faster I just push harder on the peddle. It will either go faster in

Brown line is the supply to the switch, brown with a blue stripe is the line to the servo. Line goes from the four way T at the front of the engine to the left fender and hence to the switch on the keyswitch. Servo line comes out of the dash by the fuse box, I think, and to the servo. Three

Re: [MBZ] More problems ...

OK Do you normally do a manual downshift on that hill or was this something that you did because the engine wasn't putting out enough power this time vs doing ok all the other times till this time? Not really any help in fixing your transmission problem but trying to get all the info I can.

My W210 (98 E300 D) comes on and it'll stay on for a couple of days and then it goes out for a couple of days. When the light is out, the car runs as normal. Good performance everything feels normal. When the check engine light is on, it feels like the turbo is not working. And not only that, I
