    It is possible to resurface drilled rotors? According to the mechanic it need new rotors and brake pads, he stated that is not possible to resurface the rotors. It's okay to replace the brake pads without resurface if need it? I'm in the process to replace the brake pads as is suggested in the maintenance forum. Please help

    Thanks Loren, I took the car to the mechanic today and the release bearing was bad :thankyou: , as you said guys, but an additional inspection reveal that the clutch pedal helper spring was also bad. I won't go for an additional 240's to replace it and wait 6 days for part delivery. I want to take it calm and DIY. B) Need your help. Thanks in advance

    Well, The summer is ON and I bought the clutch, I got a SACHS clutch kit on ebay for $439, My mechanic estimate the labor for around 600. Is this estimate right or should be less? What's your opinion?

    Hello, I may ask which is the best electric wrench or electric wrench kit on a porsche?

    Thanks, I just ordered one from Pelican parts next day shipping and they are far cheaper than the dealer. The heater core was replaced nextday sucessfully after these pictures. :thankyou: Jose: Looks like you definitely found the problem. You might want to consider taking your heater core to a radiator shop and to have them evaluate whether it's possible to seal it. They can usually turn that around in a few hours and it's going to cost a lot less than a replacement from Porsche. Thanks for posting your progress and the photos. Regards, Maurice.

    As I promise my Porsche already hybernate, the winter is gone here in Michigan. I just want to follow up my thought about the coolant smell thru air conditioner and in fact was true. My heater exchanger was leaky as I check thru the proper steps. Here I include few pictures. I will order the Heater core today as I don't think Porsche have in stock, I'll try pelican parts first. As you can see in the pictures there is evidence of deposit residue and the bottom of the heater exchanger. Well, that's all. :thankyou: B)

    What most worry me is that I have the CDR-210 which has no decent single cable. That was essentially the idea behind my suggestion to use a "switching" 3.5mm jack. This is a jack to which you run both a source wire and a return (per channel). When a plug is inserted, that source is selected (mechanically), and when it is removed, the other (default) source is sent down the return. This appears to be how Becker Audio's hack for the CDR23 works, using the FM input in the head end. On another note, it puzzles me that no one has come up with a comprehensive CD-changer emulator that works over Bluetooth. SIgh.

    I would like to know if there's a possibility to connect an Iphone to a CDR-210. Any help will be appreciated. B) Jose

    I support you in your decision to upgrade, It's looks pretty awesome!!! B)

    I'm wondering it is possible to built a "SELECTOR SWITCH" where you can choose CD changer or ipod.

    B) I'm not done with this yet. The winter is harsh here and my porsche is hibernating. I'll fix this on first day on spring, I'll let you know guys.
  18. jose
    Thanks for the reply guys. B) That will be a task for next summer. For now sleep, sleep, sleep this winter. I'll post here my results later.

    Thanks for reply, I got your point but it also happens when the car is running anywhere, also on certain range of temperature. I opened another post called heater core removal. According to what we discussed there is very possible to be the heater core. I haven't physically removed the heater core but seems the most logical step to take. As occurs on certain temps.like from 69-74 on the panel it's that when mixing cold air from outside And heat from the heater core, if the heater core is leaking then when the heater core that use antifreeze this smell will be detected immdiately. And the heater core is only device that contain coolant in the A/C system.

    Tune up your speakers here we go. I load a 36sec audio I think this explains all. I must add that this sound I have been noted increasing thru the years. Yes, just upload it like an image. You can upload sound files in: MP3, WAV, WMV, MOV, MPG, or RAM formats. Memo.mp3
  25. jose
    It is possible to load a sound clip here? I would like to upload this problem, so experts can judge. I don't know much about transmission and clutch. I'm 100% amateur. B)
