Porsche is actually an engineering firm, that went into making cars as a sideline. The concept was the company should be run by engineers not by businessmen who were doing what was necessary to increase profits to please the shareholders. As far as I know they have never tried to build a large factory that would crank out thousands of cars, that would have a price low enough to compete with the really popular cars in the market place. I Think the bodies are made by Karmann coachwork and many of the other parts are bought from Volkswagen and various other suppliers. If someone has enough money they hire Porsche to design a car for them. John DeLorean was about to hire Porsche to design his car, but they refused to do the job within the period of time in which he needed the car to be designed. Many other companies have their cars designed by porsche, but this is kept secret. The engineers who worked for volkswagen may have improved on Ferdinand Porches original design, but they failed

its a 96 saturn, its a manual, dual overhead cam 4 cld, when i push in the clutch and the rpms go down the high pitched noise goes to a lower pitch then when i let the clutch out and push the gas it gets higher making it sound like a siren, when i first heard it i thought it was a cop... ne way i just replaced the clutch pressure plate and bearing, and the slave to the clutch.. about 2000 miles ago and its been fine.. as far as funtional and operational theres nothing wrong but ive come to find out that sounds are for a reason and if its making a noise its trying to tell me something... so what is that something..

I have a 1995 Buick Regal and I have a problem with it

well today i was driving and all of a sudden it felt like the transmission just blew. No matter how hard i pushed the gas pedal the car just rolled like at 5 mph. I stopped and I then pulled it to the side. I turned it off and waited like 5 min. Then I turned it on and it drove me a coulple of blocks and i parked. I later in the day put some new transmission fluid in and then after that it drove pretty well. (the fluid was pretty low before i put some in)

It had a history of the transmission "slipping" on me but this is the first time that this happened.

I know the obvious answer is see a mechanic but i wanna know what could possibly be wrong with it and if there is anyway I can fix it myself and how much it would cost because I have to save up some money to payt for this all.

I managed to find two valves. The first valve was in the front side closer to the bumper. However, the recharge hose wouldn't fit. On the other hand, when I attached the recharge hose to the nozzle in the back on the passenger side, the pressure readings kept oscillating back and forth between low and high.

Just to note, I had turned on the engine and turned on the cooler to Max A/C like the directions on the can told me.

Thanks

The radiator fan isn't working, we've replaced it and checked the fuses for it, any other ideas?

Also, does the radiator on the taurus self purge air or no? Thanks.

with the permission of the owner.
But is it necessary for that other car to itself be insured itself. There is nothing in my insurance documentation to say that this is necessary.
(this is third party only insurance)

If this is the case, then surely I could get cheap insurance on a mini and drive my friends ferrari even if my friend cannot himself afford to pay for insurance for his ferrari.

We had a little leak (okay, puddle) in our driveway and we have small children who play there. The car shop is taking care of the car problem, but what is the best way to clean up the puddle in the driveway so that it's both safe for the children to play there and environmentally responsible?

I just cut the connection of the battery after 10 painstaking minutes of non-stop-noise barrage at 2:00 in the morning. If i want to start it again the horn might start the new year earlier than expected. Can anyone show me the diagram of the engine or any tips on how to disconnect the horn connection?
Thanks..

What can a person do within reason to get a typical 70's era large Ford sedan to get a whole lot better MPG than they typically get?

Lets say for the sake of an example, a 70-something LTD 4 door sedan or wagon with a 460-V8 or the 400-V8 or perhaps the 351-V8. Those cars as I remember always got no better than 12 or so around town, 20 on the highway in a tailwind going 50!

I like the looks of these tank-like Fords, but wonder what kinds of modern technology I can add or change to and be within cost reason to bring up the MPG on these beasts?

Thanks.
