SANDWICHEATER is an unknown quantity at this point

Yeah its pretty pathetic that this is a well known and documented issue when the car cost 100k+ when new. My 1000 dollar pickup will start and have no issues even in the most extreme conditions.

lol, but you gotta admit your 1000 dollar pick up has quarter inch spaces around its valves too, hence such awesome power.

check out this guy in Poland. I can’t believe this many V8 cayennes and flat6, v6 engines fail in Europe.

Wish i new of a shop out here that would deal with these engines for a decent price. Final quote of parts and labour "although covered" was close to 40gs and now im terrified of unwarranteed failure.
