my 997 C2s service

Whats up guys my cars in for service due to a coolent leak which one of the passenger side hose was disconnect. So while its there i also mentioned to them about the altornator cable and they told me mine was fried! And it was killing my altornator/battery and performance so i told him to fix it @ whopping 950bux!! I also did a break flush which they said was murky and that i will notice a hugeee diffrence and im also doing a aggresive alignment because i felt the car doesnt handle to its capability. So they mentioned somthing about negitive camber or somthing. I get the car back friday hopfully NOT with a nice juicey bill

Alternator cable is a big one, but important... Dealer had a new battery installed just before I bought the car in Jan (presumably because it wasn't charging)... but after only having the car home a week the battery was dead again. I had to trickle-charge it and let it die a couple of times to validate it was a recurring issue. Overall it was like a 5hr job but fortunately covered under the CPO warranty. You probably would have needed to do it sometime, so better at your leisure than when you need the car.

Lol joel thanks! I'll make sure to use the spell check from now on. But thank you for the corections. I guess i will notice a diffrence in breaking from the flush and the cable was long due.

no problem, the cable replacement for the alternator is a priority... in fact, $900 is not that bad since it's a lot involved and the part is $100... good luck!
