Legendary Lars Blown Porsche engine !
 

So I was driving to Meet the AFF crew last week and my Porsche puked in the middle of the road. 2 hours waiting for the tow truck and an hour dealing with paper and renta car.. Thye called me today and said your engine is seized up the best bet is to replace it ! 10K to replace the engine.. it only has 35,000 miles on it. Anyway i think its time to buy a new car. I am sorry Joel from Gamma..... I am leaning to the SLK55 AMG mercedes.

this si the car i am thinking of getting to replace the boxter

an everday problem for people across the nation, their porsche engine blowing up.

:winkwink:

Hey dude,

I am an avid car fan especially when it comes to the german line of cars. If I were you I would stay away from the slk55 until next years production model for two reasons. First there is a lot of compliants about the number of problems the slk55 is having and second mercedes is changing all there engines in the next years line up, hence the slk will become the slk63. For more information on this, check out germancarfans.com or mbworld.org, great places to get facts from owners.

holy crap what did you do ? blew the main gasket ?

what did you do to the engine - they don't blow so early normally.

yeah same thought here, prolly cold engine and up to 3-4k rpm rightaway, thatll blow them

ya, i feel sympothy for ya! lmao

I hate when that happens. Good luck on the quest for the SLK55

No warranty on the car?

how can you blow a porsche motor ?


first geer full speed ?

Did you miss shift or something?

Or no oil?

just buy this too :thumbsup

You dear Sir treat yourself very very well :thumbsup

exactly my thoughts. always wait for the right oil temperature. mine has 100.000 mls (160.000 km) now and runs as smooth as on the first day.

Nope I was at a stop in an intersection an it just froze !

I dont even drive it that hard. It is out of warranty since it is a 1999.


Luxury problems I know !

hmm thanks for the tip on the slk55

no oil ?

do you mean it leaked oh he just forgot to refill it ?

What kind of warranty does Porsche give? 35,000 miles you blow your engine and they expect you to pay for it?

Car has been serviced every 2500 miles since I bought it !

SL not SLK bro..

I think it was 5 year 50,000 miles..

the years are up the miles are not...

I got Larsed

No shit eh. I bet a lot of peeps on here cruise rides like that!

Did see you already answered while I was writing... Sucks, bro. But have fun with your new car! :)

Thats too bad, Porches are great cars!

the slk55 is half the price of the sl500 has more horses and weighs less.. plus I think it looks better.

tell me why i should bother with the extra 60K for less power and more weight.

Plus Honestly no matter how much money i have in the bank I would have a hard time puttin 100 or more on a car. I would rather put that $$ into a house and buy a less car. And if I lived in LA it might work, but here in Santa Cruz I would look like such an asshole in a 100K car.

:anon :throwup

Ouch man, another reason why I lease, beat the crap out of them then limp it back to the lot for a new one :)

yeah, exactly.

ooooooooh forget ther Mercedes...you want this one...0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

I just leased a Porsche C4s, I think you are more then busy enough to deal with crap like that, leasing is the way to go :)

Maybe you broke one of the valves due a bad distribution in the motor.

Good thinking Lars !!
I like the model youre thinkingof saw it at the aouto show last week
