That would help us out big time.

If you really don't want to write, we could use some volunteers to dig for data, proof read (for information and/or grammar & spelling mistakes), search for interesting thread, etc.....

Thanks again Chow.... Keep jamming....!
I agree with everything you said. Researching the information is VERY time-consuming. Then reading the details ... I know now the difference between the integrated dry sump and a true dry sump and WTH is a squab? Still figuring that one out

If the issue is one of HTML, just send us the English, we can translate it like Gator said.

BTW, I was looking at complaints and do not feel comfortable doing that one. I think the big ones were:
  • Clutch
  • Hatch Clunking
and minor things
  • one oil leak
  • artic paint issue
  • valve stem cracks
The minor ones aren't worth doing because they are one-offs. The two big ones, I think we need someone who has actually experienced it to explain it and tell the dealer fix.

The Porsche VIN decoder is here. Where should that go?

I don't know if this would belong in Articles or in the Maintenance section of FAQ, but there are some nice threads out there about:
1. Cleaning your car (plus do's & don'ts)
2. Prepping your car for winter storage
WRT to #1, there is the article about wheel waxing already.

It is relatively easy to find the main threads for 1 & 2 and the meat within them, but some little tid-bits are here and there.

billyad, you should delete this post and post it properly in the modifications forum to get some responses. This forum is about the FAQ's being built for newcomers. Interesting question by the way.

Idios have been posted.

As far as the cleaning/detail the car goes that would go in the Maintenance section, simply grab the appropriate stuff from the message topics and place it into HTML form and send to me in email and I'll get it into the FAQ ASAP!

Thanks!
