It appears they put it all back together,with new stainless crossover and intermediate
exhaust pipes................................................. and it wouldn't start!!!! Apparantly needs a new crank sensor, so hopefully I can collect it tomorrow. Hu.

Those crank sensors can be a pain. Ive had a few new ones over the years. They are quite expensve too considering they are just a magnet....

Collected the car today, it turned out that it was not the crank sensor,
some dimwit had fitted a STAINLESS bolt to the flywheel, so the sensor would not pick it up, as Stainless is non-magnetic. Porsche were very apologetic, and gave me the sensor FOC. Total bill came to just over £1300. New clutch, clutch cable, flywheel & bolts, 5 hoses, engine oil & filter, gearbox oil, crank oil seal, and fitting of new S/S crossover & intermediate exhaust pipes. Hu.

Glad the old girl is back on the road. £1300 for all tat doesnt seem to too bad. There's a fair bit of work in what you've had done.
I had a similar problem with the fly wheel sensor. Someone had put a cap head nut, and my new motec system was double counting because of the air gap in the cap head slot. Amazing.... Took bloody ages to find that out. |
