Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
I was planning to go visit Mom down in St. Pete, FL this weekend... looks like that's on hold for now. Mom reports that nothing of note happened in her area. Electricity was not out. The only damage of note was a tree branch that fell on her lawn. The folks down a little South of St. Pete took a be...

Re: Ignition Switch Replacement
I am pretty sure the new style assembly in the '01 is a replacement done under prior ownership.FRUNKenstein wrote: ↑Sun Sep 25, 2022 8:23 am Wow, you have the same as me, then, an ‘01 with a new model switch and a newer car with the old switch.

Re: Ignition Switch Replacement
My '01 TT also has the newer ignition lock assembly with the newer ignition switch. I believe the ignition lock was changed at some time in the past. With 183k miles on the car it's seen a lot of use. My '03 TT has the older ignition lock. Only 38k miles. The older ignition lock has a piece inside t...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Now I have been offered a first-gen 2006 Cayenne Turbo S that appears to be in good shape, except the engine... which has either a burned valve or more likely terminal bore scoring. I can get a used engine in good shape and install that. Total outlay would be on the order of $10k. I know some of you...

Re: AutoX

Re: Somebody talk me down off the edge...
In all seriousness if the 996 isn't doing it for you any more you should sell it. You are in a difficult situation with your wife not wanting to ride in the car, so you can't even take a trip in it. That does not help. You could schedule a 996 week where you drive the 996 on all your errands etc. in...
